LETS GET THAT …… QUILT BUILT !!
Machine Quilting Series, will be starting this month. New & experienced quilters often have the most difficulty with the process of sewing all 3 layers together. It takes not only knowing the “how to”, it also takes considerable practice and dexterity. This series will give you all of that plus the confidence to achieve success. There will be lots of in class practice. The series will be divided into parts. Each part is distinct and separate from the other. For now we will cover introduction to Free Motion and use of the Walking Foot.
THE WALKING FOOT can do so much more than you imagine. Bring your sewing machine and walking foot and explore the numerous possibilities as you achieve beautiful cables and curved motifs. This is a great way to begin your quilting success. This class is beginner friendly.

RAG QUILTING is so versatile and well, awesome! These quilts are fun to do and very beginner friendly. The size will be up to you. Your choice of fabric will determine it’s use.
