Our Story
Hey, I am Paula and I am the creator of the Embroidery Gatherings Membership Club!
For the past 12 years, I have been using the Floriani FTCU software and creating my own embroidery designs.
I have spent many hours teaching myself to digitize and I understand the frustrations of trying to learn all the tools!
When my friends found out that I had learned how to use FTCU, they started asking me for lessons.
Embroidery Gatherings was born! And, together we have spent many years with me working with them to digitize embroidery designs and growing our skills together.
I would love to help you learn to use FTCU and for you to belong to our Membership group too!
