Description

Walk Don’t Run…This type of quilting is so much fun! During this two-day class we will learn how to use the markings embedded on our walking foot or integrated dual feed foot to explore several quilting designs including straight line, crosshatch, focal point, point to point, echoing, gentle curves, orange peel, clamshell, geometric curves, reverse stitching and spiral.

Prior to class: Please prepare 10 to 12 - 12 ½” X 12 ½” square quilt sandwiches with a cotton batting and basting method of your choice. (basting spray or safety pins) The backing and batting squares should be slightly larger than the tops (14 ½” square).  Please note: Use of basting spray within the store is not permitted. Please use solid fabrics so your stitching can be easily viewed. Muslin works!  As class instruction progresses, there may be opportunities to practice variations on the basic designs described earlier.
