Join professional digitizer and industry pioneer, Lindee Goodall as she takes you on a 12 month inspirational and educational journey deep into the world of computerized machine embroidery -- Echidna P.I.E.

In an exciting creative twist, Lindee has based each project and the accompanying designs on "birth month flowers".

If you plan to print your notes, we suggest you buy a 2-ring display binder from your local stationer to store your notes. We've even supplied a printable binder cover insert for you.
