You will work on a practice sample while Jan shows you how to start and stop the thread (no knots!), demonstrate the running stitch and show you various tacking stitches for the background that are sturdy and add interesting dimension to the quilt. Jan will also cover basting and marking quilt tops for handwork, as well as appropriate battings.

Intro to Machine Quilting
Ann Courtney
Monday - November 11 & 18
6:00pm – 9:00pm
Beginner I
$45.00
You’ve finished your quilt top, and you love it. But what do you do now?? Join Ann in two nights of instruction on how to quilt your top on your own sewing machine. The class will cover putting your layers together, choosing the right quilting design, and picking out the right needle and thread to complement your design and your top. You’ll start by learning to make straight line designs, then move into the fun (and unnecessarily scary) world of free motion quilting. Please note that this class does not include instruction on using rulers with domestic machines.

Modern Peasant Skirt

$35.00
In this class you will learn how to make the pattern pieces for this modern version of a peasant skirt and make it to fit your body! You can choose from two versions; a knee length gored skirt, or a longer two-tier gored skirt. In the class samples, Jan used many different Kaffe Fassett fabrics as well as some solids to balance out all that noise. Choose fabrics that reflect your style! When choosing your fabrics, remember, they don't all have to match each other, just be able to play well with their neighbors. Jan will teach you how to draft your pattern and will teach you how to vary the number of gores in the skirts.

This pattern was offered as a block-of-the-month but the pattern is available on its own. Though it looks complicated the acrylic templates make for accurate cutting and you make four of each block. Precise ¼” seams are essential. Pam added borders to the original pattern for a more finished look.

The name of this pattern come from the octopus and jellyfish fabrics used by the designer. Pam liked the effect of bargello going in both directions and wanted a different color way. The sample was done in batiks but this pattern would also lend itself to prints and ombres.
