Machine Embroidery Is Too Complicated FALSE. Most people believe that machine embroidery is a very technical skill to master.

That is why I love Sulky’s online classes. We partnered with F&W Media for this because we wanted to bring you state of the art classes and still keep the autonomy to teach “The Sulky Way.”…

I have never learned more in a single class than I did in that first class with Ellen. Ellen…
