I am embarrassed to say, but I can’t figure out how to sign up for the stitch along. I’m pretty sure that I checked every link and added pattern and fabric to my cart, but how do I sine up for the embroider along?! TIA!
I might be wrong, but don’t *think* you “sign up”. You stitch along and post your progress as you go. The announcement here is to help you find supplies and get ready.
