Big stitch quilting is all the rage in “modern quilts”. What’s old is new again – we used to call it Utility Quilting.

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.

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.

Intro to Machine Quilting

Beginner I

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.
