This is my first course with John Deer. John is extremely knowledgeable. His presentation was relazed and easy to understand. He covered a variety of topics and helped me better understand embroidery I have experience with and introduced me to new techniques.

Since taking the Fun Effects Embroidery course with John Deer, I have a better understanding of the whole process. I'm not afraid to try something new like cutaway or fringe designs. The course was well worth my time and money.
