Intro to Machine Quilting
Ann Courtney
Monday - April 8 & 15
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.
