Learn to Quilt - Level 2 - Colour and Design
A comprehensive course that will walk you through every step of quilting while constructing a throw-size quilt, approximately 45in x 60in.
Over the 6 weeks, you will:
- be guided in your fabric selection & learn about colour theory
- become familiar with using rulers & rotary cutters
- measure, cut & piece your fabrics
- sandwich your layers & quilt them together
- learn how to bind your quilt, resulting in a finished project!
If you have a sewing machine please bring it with 1/4-inch sewing foot, a walking foot & extra bobbins. Contact us if you do not have a machine as we have several available to use for the duration of the course.
As well a basic sewing kit is needed: rotary cutter, small snipping scissors, straight pins, safety pins, seam ripper, 50 wt cotton thread, notebook & pen/pencil.
Construction of the 45-inch x 60-inch throw quilt requires 12 fat quarters to piece the front & additional fabric for backing & binding. As well you will need batting. Enjoy a 15% discount on all materials & supplies purchased during the duration of your course.
This class is suited for adults (age 15+)
