Materials & Equipment

Equipment is provided for your use during the weekend, including a 17" x 14" hand held clip frame to hold your fabric. If you prefer to use your own frame, please bring one large enough for the project. An upholstered frame with pins would be suitable, but an embroidery hoop is not suitable. If you have your own slate frame and would like the fabric in advance to prepare, please contact me to arrange collection. Individual lights will also be available for your use over the weekend.
