Beginner Quilting



Saturdays: Aug 26, Sep 16, & Sep 30                 10:30 - 4:30 pm
 
In this class you will be given the opportunity to create a simple Rail Fence Quilt from start to finish. You will learn how to use different quilting tools including a rotary cutter and ruler to accurately cut your fabric. You will learn how to sew accurate 1/4” seams, the importance of pressing your fabric before and during the construction of your quilt top. In the third session I will show you how to pin baste, machine quilt and bind your quilt.
