In this no-sew, design workshop I will guide you through a series of exercises to build your skill and confidence with machine (and hand!) quilting.
DEVELOP DESIGN SKILLS FOR A QUILTING PLAN, BEFORE SEWING A STITCH
3 hours: Stretch your design muscles and create a quilting plan! Sounds scary, but it’s so easy and no special drawing skills are required. Working with paper, colored pens and provided images, you’ll get hands-on practice developing a roadmap for your next quilting project.
Workshop Overview
START SMALL AND SIMPLE with drawing exercises that go from simple to more complex. Overlay printed quilt designs with tracing paper and use colored pens to plan out your designs.
UNDERSTAND how to approach modern machine and hand quilting from a functional perspective as well as with an eye on design… AND understand how to be more economical with your time as you work on the quilting.
BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE by practicing a few simple design techniques that can be applied to any quilt.
UFOs NO MORE: bring an 8.5 x 11 photo of an unquilted top, and I will guide you through the steps to develop a quilting plan for your specific design!
At the end of the workshop, you will have a clear set of design ideas for modern quilting and be ready to approach your next quilting project with confidence.
A complete PDF supply list with quilt designs and grids will be provided. Class sizes are limited to ensure one-on-one time. This is an all-levels class.
