What happens in the Beginner Class?
You will make a lap quilt from start to finish. You will learn about thread, needles, machine tension, how to read a quilt pattern, how to cut fabric, how to piece fabric, sandwich your quilt, quilt the quilt, add binding and put a label on your quilt. You will need to bring your own sewing machine which is in good working order and your sewing machine manual if you have one. After the first class you will need to purchase the fabric and thread for your quilt. You will need a scant ¼ inch quilter’s foot that fits your machine and a walking foot for your machine. We can talk about that at the first class.
What happens in the Work on Your Own Class?
This class is for those of you who want to finish up some projects you are working on or start something new. You will be in the company of your quilting friends and will most definitely meet new ones. You can attend this class on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
What happens in the Free Motion Class?
You will learn free motion techniques to quilt on small projects such as placemats, table runners and small quilts. You must have a sewing machine and a free motion quilting foot. All supplies will be provided including thread, fabrics, panels, batting and backing.
What happens in the Fibre Art Class?
You will learn several techniques to make and embellish art quilts. You will use these learned skills to produce an underwater work of art wall hanging. All supplies will be provided which include the use of Inktense blocks to make your background fabric, specialty fabrics and notions to produce a variety of dimensional effects. Machine stitching and hand stitching will be used in this class to achieve the necessary results.
