Moore's Embroidablock of the Month Club

Hoopsisters Embroidery Block of the Month Club: Two series - Crazy Compass and TNT (Textures and New Techniques) - 10 months of quilting and embroidery fun! If you love to quilt and own an embroidery machine (any brand), don't miss being a part of this exciting option of quilting.

We are delighted that you are interested in taking part in our Hoopsister's Embroidabock of the Month Club. A demo class will be given at no charge showing the easy steps involved to produce the first block. At the end of that class you may purchase for $10.00 the CD with detailed directions for stitching the first block at home. A staff member will be able to answer any questions you may have about that month's block by phone or in person by appointment each Monday afternoon between 1-4 pm.

Each month we will call you when your CD containing that month's block is ready for you to pick up at the store. At the time the tenth block is completed a free demonstration class will be given so that every member fully understands how to finish her quilt.

To be a participant in the Hoopsister's Embroidablock of the month you must fill a credit card permission slip so that we can prepare that month's CD for you to pick up. We will charge your card $10.00 each month for a total of $100.00 (ten blocks).

We encourage you to go to Hoopsisters.com to learn more about the Embroidablock of the month club.
