Digital Dealer Exclusives Projects
Digital Dealer Exclusives projects feature a wide variety of machine embroidery techniques, from chenille and collage applique to pocket pillows and more. And guess what? Even though one design is released per month, ALL designs continue to be available for purchase after they're released. In other words, you aren't limited to January's design in January or February's design in February; you can purchase January's design in April or July or whenever you want. Let's take a close look at the Digital Dealer Exclusives designs coming through participating quilt shops this year.
