Thank you to everyone who watched my live tutorial for Sewing Machines Plus Countdown to Christmas 2023! Here is all of the info on the project I made for the class Last Minute Christmas Gifts.
I used the Brother Stellaire XJ2 sewing and embroidery combo machine for this project. This is an AMAZING machine with tons of capabilities!! I still have so much to learn about all of the amazing things it can do, but am absolutely loving using it for my projects both sewing and embroidery.
