Whether you are a beginner or have some experience with embroidery design software, this boot camp is perfect for you. Richard Tharp has years of experience in the field and is known for his expertise in teaching embroidery design software.

During the boot camp, you will learn how to use the software to create intricate designs, how to digitize images, and how to use the software to bring your creative vision to life. You will also get a chance to interact with other learners and share your ideas and experiences.

The boot camp will be held over three days. Class fee includes instructor, kits and light meals. We have you covered. So, what are you waiting for? Register now and take the first step towards mastering embroidery design software with Richard Tharp.

You will work on at least three projects during the boot camp. While some of the projects seem very familiar, it is the designer software basics and techniques that you are learning to apply to future projects that counts. Below are pictures of projects from prior classes. Students will complete the same or very similar projects.

Meet the Instructor

Richard’s passion for sewing began at a very young age, learning early on how to cut out quilt pieces for his family of quilters. It seemed only natural that he would end up becoming a quilter as well with a keen eye for design in quilts that fall into the art quilt category.

As a Hoffman Challenge winner in 2017, Richard’s quilt, “The Sisters” was part of a traveling trunk show. His “Learn, Inspire, Create” concept is evident in his teaching style and one that he loves to pass along to his students. Richard has taught all over the US and Canada and looks forward to each opportunity to connect with his students.

Join International Educator Richard Tharp for an educational journey on the awesome Baby Lock Solaris Embroidery Machine!

Leigh has always been a crafty DIY type of person who enjoys making things with her hands. Twenty-six years ago Leigh was the owner of a marine canvas shop where she created upholstery from canvas and vinyl for a variety of settings. This is where she fell in love with sewing, Leigh made clothing and accessories before finding her love of piecing and creating quilts. Quilting on a domestic machine for most of that time she finally moved to a stationary HQ Sweet Sixteen® long arm and then moved up to a HQ Forte® long arm with Pro Stitcher® Premium. Leigh worked for a local sewing gallery for the past 4 years where she instructed new owners how to use their new machines and/or software.
