Description

Do you need to get some sewing done? Have you’ve been making blocks or collecting fabric for a while now, but you need a kick in the pants (or a weekly zoom meeting) to keep you on track and get that pile turned into a quilt?

This class is your first step. Over the 5 weeks, you will learn:

• Quilt math to calculate sashing and borders, including adjusting for blocks of different sizes.
• Quilt design to aid in block layout, sashing and corner stone color, number of borders, pieced borders.
• Improvisational methods to make what you have fit into what you want your top to be.

We will also spend time practicing:

• Sewing a straight 1//4″ seam
• Pinning to align corners and preserve points
• Pressing seam allowances to make joining easier later on
• Keeping tools in good condition
• Changing needles, pins, and rotary blades

• Sewing area maintenance

This is not a “how to make a quilt from the beginning” class.

This is a “how am I gonna get this quilt made?!?” class.  Don’t worry, we’ll break it down and stitch it up. Register below.
