Basic I
This is the very basic beginning class - all you need is the
desire to learn how to make your own quilts. This simple
fence rail teaches you the basics of rotary cutting and
strip piecing, as well as how to layer, bind and machine
quilt. Each series of classes begins with a “Pre-Basic”
class where we will meet in the shop to select fabrics and
discuss the tools required. $80
It is
important to bring your sewing machine to the pre-basic
class - we will check it for 1/4” seam accuracy; we will
discuss necessary quilting supplies and you will have time
to purchase fabric and supplies for the first Basic I class. |
