In this collection we cover a lot of different in-the-hoop projects spanning a variety of techniques that can be applied over and over again. You’ll see how to create tags with mergeable text and finished by adding elastic bands so that they can be used in a myriad of ways. You will also discover how to create beautiful sun catchers by using vinyl and organza as appliqué. Want to create an elegant bowl made entirely out of lace? We’ll show you how! We will also create useful items like pin cushions, needle cases, book corners, and organizers like checkbook covers, keychain bags, luggage tags and more. See how quickly & easily our zippered bags stitch out in fun new shapes, and you guessed it, all in the hoop! Plus, we have included bonus designs from past releases that support the techniques you will learn. There is so much to explore!

Under the “Project” category, you will see how we create useful items like pin cushions, needle cases, book corners, and more. You’ll not only learn how we create our popular dangler designs, but we are going to stitch one out as well – a first for any Anita Goodesign class! Need some projects to help get you organized? Designs under our “Lifestyle Accessories” will do just that. From a checkbook cover, a keychain bag, to a luggage tag, you will be able to make great gifts or accessories to get you on your way!
