I just thought I would send out a quick list on our classes at Thimbles and Threads. Sometimes reading the classes is better than being told what they are, let alone trying to remember each one and the times and costs etc. So here goes:

learn how to use it and learn perfect placement. This class is for you. Gail has devised a method that will put your
