Beginner Quilting 101

Details:
Join us for a six-week beginning quilt-making course lead by the talented Karen Driessen. You will learn to piece up to nine different blocks which can then be used to construct a table topper or small-size quilt top. During these classes you will be covering basic sewing machine operation, uses of a rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat. Also you will learn and practice the technique of creating a scant quarter-inch seam to help facilitate the piecing of your blocks.
