START QUILTING 101
In this class we will address rotary cutting skills, color selection and the importance of scale, how to piece the quit top ensuring a "scant 1/4" or 1/4" seam allowance and the importance of pressing. We will learn how to square up a quilt block, apply borders, basic simple machine quilting, and binding your quilt.
We will discuss -
Fabric colors - understanding Contrast and Value, and dark vs light
Quarter Inch Foot and testing to achieve a "scant" quarter inch
Even-Feed (Walking Foot) for your machine
If you do all your homework, you will have a small (approximately 40" x 40") sampler quilt at the end of this class.
