Free-motion Quilting on Your Domestic Machine***
Would you like to quilt your own quilts, but are reluctant to tackle a large project? Let’s start out small. In class 1, you will learn the 5 basic quilting shapes and how to combine them to make patterns on your quilts. Class 2 will focus on filler designs and using stencils.
***If you have not taken either Quilting 101 or Ruler Work 101, you need to attend a 2-hour session to prepare for quilting. The class covers needles, threads, batting and other essentials for free motion success. This class will be held the morning of Session 1. There is an additional fee of $20.00 for this class.
Teacher: Marilynn Bouclin
Dates: October 8th, 10:30-12:30 for the quilting prep class
October 8th, 1:00- 4:00, Session 1
