Welcome to our beginner’s patchwork class.
In this series of 5 classes, you will learn a variety of patchwork techniques.
This is a machine pieced class.
If you do want to learn hand sewing to make the quilt you need to be aware there is a lot more home work that you will need to do. You are welcome to do so.
Classes 1 and 2
February 13 and 20
Classes 3 and 4
March 13 and 20
Class 5
April 10
10am - 2pm each day
We will set you up to make about 3 blocks per class for the first 4 classes.
Class 5 will piece the quilt top together.
It’s a fun, supportive and social environment, in which you can learn new skills and get the opportunity to sew.
We will supply patterns and notes each week and explain how to design, cut and piece the blocks.
You will start to piece these in class, learning about:
- Cutting technique
- Marking techniques
- 1/4 inch piecing
- Pressing and sewing smaller blocks into larger ones
The fee covers the tuition and pattern.
You will need to bring your own fabrics or we can help you purchase them in store.
As a rough guide you will need
- 3.5m of background.
- 18 fabrics that are 5.5 inches by width of fabric. These are split into 9 colours, one light / medium and one medium / dark in each colour "pair".
This is enough fabric for your quilt top. You need to add wadding and backing and binding at a later stage.
Please bring the following (most of these are available in store and we can kit them up for you for a fee if desired)
- Sewing machine in good working order (if you do not own a machine, we do sell a broad range in store)
