If you enjoy embroidery and want to learn more about using your embroidery machine and software, this is one Saturday a month that you don't want to miss! Rose Mary Huber Pauls and Sharon Schmitz team up to teach you the ins and outs of your software and embroidery machines.

Software Class, taught by Rose Mary Huber Pauls, begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. and continues until noon. Rose Mary teaches using the 3D or 4D Software (Viking or Pfaff version) while Sharon assists you during the class so everyone of any skill level can keep up. You will see how to use the different functions of the software, and create your own unique designs for any project you can think up. The different modules will be discussed including the newest 4D Monogram. Come and learn how to use what you have and see some of the things that the software can do. It's easier than you think once you understand how to use it. It's the best software on the market and is compatible with almost all sewing machine brands because it is multi-formatted. For more information you can contact Rose Mary at rmpsew@hotmail.com. If you are unable to attend and would like the handout/instructions for the missed class, you may do so by paying the class fee. Rose Mary is ALWAYS willing to answer questions and/or help solve software issues you may be experiencing using 3D or 4D, so bring your questions so everyone can learn.
