Have you often looked at quilts on line and in books and wondered where to start? Well, this is the class for you. In this one day workshop we take the mystery out of ‘modern’ patchwork using a sewing machine and hopefully kick start your creative side to produce easy but effective patchwork items (quilts/table runners/cushions) for all your friends and family. A full day packed with tips and inspiration that will have you going home with a small project and big ideas.The topics we aim to cover in this lesson
Fabric Terminology
Handling your fabric
Rotary Cutting – Equipment and use
Basic Sewing Machine Use
Achieving an accurate 1/4” seam
Pressing
Nine Patch Blocks
Easy triangle Blocks
Using the blocks you create we will make a simple table runner
Materials Needed:
We have sewing machines for you to use but if you would like to bring your own please advise us at the time of booking. If bringing your own machine, a 1/4” foot would be useful, but not essential. You will also need to bring along 4 coordinating cotton fabrics these will need to be 50cm X 60cm (fat quarters) and a thread in a colour that blends with all your fabrics.
We will supply Batting (wadding) to complete your table runner
