In this lesson you will create three Christmas-themed designs. These are ideal for creating tiny ornaments or for using to embellish your holiday projects.
The lesson includes detailed videos demonstrating the techniques, handy hints to help you learn more about PREMIER+ 2, and detailed step-by-step instructions!
NOTE: These exercises use PREMIER+ 2 Create and Cross Stitcher, so you will need PREMIER+ 2 Ultra.
The exercises can be done in PREMIER+, but some features may not be available and some tools may be in different locations.
