I really want to take classes to expand my abilities with my embroidery machine- but all the ones my dealer offers are project focused. Which means you have to buy the supplies for that specific project, just to learn a technique. And the supplies always include an embroidery design (you can't bring your own) and that design is almost NEVER available on its own, it is part of a collection.
Thankfully, they usually sell a kit of stabilizers in the sizes needed, but sometimes you have to buy full rolls of the different types of stabilizers needed for the project.
In other words- to learn a simple embroidery technique is never less than $100 in supplies, and often twice that.
