Over 30 hours will be dedicated to crafts throughout March with fixed programming on most Monday’s (with the exception of March 22nd, crafts will be held the following day). On March 1, Singer Sewing starts the celebration with an exciting array of embroidery accessories and tools, such as the state-of-the-art Singer Professional 5 Thread Serger Machine at a special event price of $599.

Scrapbooking takes center stage on March 15 when acclaimed designer Anna Griffin (http://www. hsn. com/anna-griffin-crafts-at-hsn_at-1962_xa. aspx) introduces new ingenious paper designs on HSN and Die Cuts with a View (http://crafts-sewing. hsn. com/die-cuts-with-a-view_c-ct_a-2496_xc. aspx), brings more card-making crafts and scrapbooking innovations to HSN’s customers.
