Day 1 recap of OESD Hoop Camp was full of inspiration, embroidery education, and beautiful sample projects!

Today, attendees learned helpful tips on stabilizers, hooping, placement, and how to get better results with their embroidery projects. We also explored creative techniques like freestanding lace, appliqué, quilting, tiling scenes, and in-the-hoop projects.

One of the highlights of the day was seeing all the incredible samples up close. There were so many creative ideas and techniques to take home and try!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Day 1. We loved seeing your excitement, questions, and creativity throughout the event.

We can’t wait for Day 2!

Customer Spotlight ✨

This is what taking a class at AVS is all about — learning something new, trying something different, and having fun along the way!

One of our talented customers made this adorable Tula Owl Backpack in class and added her own creative touch with flying geese details on the straps. We love seeing students build their skills, gain confidence, and make each project their own.
