The guide comes with a Doodle Practice Sheet for you to get to become familiar with the technique, and then you can have fun whilst creating these Happy Stars by using Michelle's unique, hand drawn templates in your own work.

*Please note that the instructions to begin free-motion stitching are basic to get you started and won't teach you everything about the technique. The instructions are just a tool to get you started.

If free-motion proves too tricky, it is also possible to sew the Happy Stars using a regular sewing foot and straight stitch, or you can even sew them by hand!

All materials for the Happy Stars are listed on the 1st page of the instructions (see photos on this listing)

• Cotton or calico fabric to practice your doodles on and get familiar with the technique
• Sewing machine with the drop down feed dog function, or a cover plate
