Accuquilt Insulated Table Mat - Glendale Location

This Table Mat is made using the Cactus Accuquilt die and the embroidery machine stitching available to go with it. There are several cactus designs available to choose from, and you do not need to own the die. The purpose of this class is to give you the opportunity to see how the Accuquilt process works, and potential for finishing shape dies as well as learning how to access the embroidery stitch-out designs.

Accuquilt die and cutters will be available in the classroom. IF you have your own die it is helpful. Let the instructor know if you will need an embroidery machine (these are limited). Instructor will have the stitch-out design needed. There are four different cactus designs to choose from, but we will be making only one in class.
