Feeling intimidated about quilting? It can feel scary, but a calm and compassionate teacher with a plan will help you work through the step to succeed! Enter Lorraine! Please read the complete description before registration!
This multi-week class is a great primer, encompassing the basic skills you need for almost any future quilt.
Prerequisite: Students should have some experience on a sewing machine (within the last year or so), some comfort with straight line sewing.
You’ll learn about fabrics, colours, print and how many different ways you can make something look great!
You’ll gain confidence with measuring and cutting with the rotary cutter and learn chain-piecing and pressing.
You’ll learn the tips and tricks to make 4-squares look great, how to make log cabins and the essential- half square triangles!
The pattern we’ve created for this class is somewhat modular- if you want to play with the design, you may. However, if you know yourself to be indecisive or perfectionist, we invite you to make it as designed to take that pressure off you, and to spend your energy learning, not thinking!
Next, you’ll construct your whole quilt top, quilt and bind it.
Some people (like Nicole) love piecing quilts but don’t enjoy the actual quilting part- so you’ll have the option to have it long-arm quilted by Lorraine (for a fee), and then you’ll bind it!
The thing about quilts- they are infinite. One design can be made so personally and so uniquely time and again!
Batting and thread is included in the cost of the class, but fabric is not. We know many people have their own fabric they want to use, and using the collected stash is a great way to get started!
You can use as few as two fabrics for a very graphic look, or 50 for a scrappy look.
