We had sew much fun hosting OESD Hoop Camp here at AVS!

Our attendees enjoyed an inspiring day filled with embroidery tips, stabilizer education, hooping techniques, design placement guidance, beautiful project samples, door prizes, exclusive deals, catered food, and sew much laughter.

A huge thank you to Michelle Blomgren for sharing her amazing knowledge and making the day such a great experience for everyone. Events like this are what AVS is all about — learning, creating, connecting, and having fun with fellow makers.

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!
