Software Saturdays

We’re so excited to tell you about the new ‘Software Saturday’ workshops due to start on 11th September. If you have Husqvarna Viking software you’ll be able to come along on a monthly basis, learn new skills through short exercises and get expert advice in our special clinic hour. The format will be as follows:
10am Coffee
10.30am-1.00pm Software Exercises
1.00pm - 2.00pm Software Clinic

As you’ll probably know, we have had a dedicated computer training room in the Studio since day one and Neil and Liz have been training you how to get the most from your embroidery software for many years now. Jayne Childs will be running Software Saturday; some of you may remember her software clubs and classes in previous years. Jayne is very keen to help you gain confidence in using your software and pass on many of the tips and tricks she has picked up using and teaching software.

Jayne loves using the internet for research and supporting her teaching. You can find her on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
