Intro to Foundation Paper Piecing

Siobahn

Saturday, Oct 1

10-2

Have you heard about Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP), but really not sure how to complete your first block? In this class Siobhan will familiarize you with all the tools and techniques you need to create a beautiful FPP block. Using the fantastic Coloured Pencils block pattern from QuietPlay, you will learn how to follow a paper guide, cut your fabric to fit the guide, manage seam allowance after sewing, as well as the tools and techniques that lead to FPP blocks with straight seams and perfect points. The only problem you will have with FPP after this course is deciding which block to sew next!

Fabric requirements and free pattern link will be provided at sign up for class.

Beginner Free Motion Quilting:

Robbie Jehn

Saturday October 23

11:00-3:00pm

Class $55.00

In this class you will learn Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) basics and practice some simple designs. We will use a home sewing machine. If you have only quilted stippling or loops or have never done any FMQ, this class is for you. It is such a good feeling to piece and then quilt your own “work of art” on your home sewing machine. You will learn how to set up your home machine for FMQ and practice how to move your quilt under the machine. You will practice FMQ straight lines, curved lines, loops and variations. You will then try paisleys, flowers, dot to dot quilting, and other designs that use straight and curved stitching. If you expect to be good at FMQ at the end of this class, you will be disappointed. FMQ takes practice, practice and more practice. Do not despair, each time you FMQ, you will get better. Try to do 10 minutes of practice every time you sit down to sew or piece. You will be pleased with your progress.
