Other included techniques will be seaming, edgestitching, and piping (optional).

October 2021   Cork Coasters

Embroidery adds both flair and dimension to a simple coaster. But why stop there? While the top of the coaster is already in the hoop to be embroidered, why not assemble the coaster at the same time?

After all, we all need great gift ideas that won’t take too much time!
