Beginner Quilting

Learn modern quilting techniques! This one-day workshop will cover all the basics of assembling, machine-quilting, and finishing a small quilt.

In one five-hour session, you'll learn:

• Understanding quilting materials, including batting and binding.
• How to assemble a "quilt sandwich" and baste or prep it for quilting
• How to quilt on a standard home sewing machine using a walking foot
• How to attach the quilt binding by machine, to finish the edges of your quilt

Note: This class does not cover patchwork quilting. We will be working with solid pieces of fabric, not pieced patchwork. If you'd like to learn to sew patchwork, check out our Beginner Patchwork Intensive.

Skill Requirements:

• This is an easy/intermediate class -- you do not need advanced sewing skills, but you must have basic machine sewing knowledge.
