Make a Patchwork Quilt

$180

with Ali Smith

In this quilting class, participants will learn to create a wall-hanging-sized quilt from start to finish. The class will cover quilt design, measuring and cutting fabric, simple geometric patchwork with a sewing machine, setting up a quilt with a front, back and batting, basting a quilt, 'big stitch' hand quilting with a needle and thread, sewing a quilt binding by hand and adding an optional hanging sleeve for display. Participants will need to know how to sew a straight line with their sewing machine. Experience with hand sewing will be helpful but not required. By the end of this class, everyone will have the knowledge to create a quilt in any size and continue to make quilts on their own. This class is for adults and mature teens with basic machine sewing skills. Students are required to bring their own sewing machine; all other materials are included.
