Intermediate Pro-Stitcher Retreat (Aug 18, 2025 - Aug 20, 2025)



Refine, Refresh, and Rise: Your Boutique Intermediate Pro-Stitcher Retreat

Already comfortable with the basics of Pro-Stitcher and craving more? This boutique-style Intermediate Pro-Stitcher Retreat is your next step. Join us for three days of personalized, in-person training designed to take your skills from "I’ve got this" to "Wait ‘til you see what I just quilted!"

Led by award-winning educator Dr. Donna Smith, this intimate, hands-on retreat is intentionally small—so you’ll never get lost in the crowd. With one-on-one support and guided exercises, you'll gain real experience and renewed confidence using Pro-Stitcher Premium (aka Connect) on-site with the latest tools and tech.

What You’ll Master:

  • Advanced Software Features: Dive into tools like pattern manipulation, custom paths, and resizing that make designs truly your own.

  • Design Like a Pro: Learn to modify and create your own unique designs to give every quilt a personal signature.

  • Real-Life Troubleshooting: Conquer the common hiccups and quirks with expert-tested tips to keep your quilting smooth and stress-free.

  • Dedicated Hands-On Time: Apply new skills in real-time with tailored exercises, small group instruction, and direct support.
