Machine Quilting 1

This class starts with an interactive lecture. We then spend 3 hours stitching out progressively more difficult designs. The lecture includes information on batting, needles, thread, and basic techniques for getting started. The quilting designs start with a large meander and progresses to an innovative feather. The goal of this class is for the beginner quilter to become familiar with the sound and feel of their sewing machine and to work on control of quilting stitches.
