Machine Appliqué Pillow Club

Are you an experienced sewer/quilter and want to learn a new technique? Do you have so many scraps kicking around in your sewing room that you fear you’ll never use them? Well, why not give our NEW Machine Appliqué Club a try?

During this 3 month (September, October, and November) period, you will learn appliqué techniques to make beautiful seasonal bench pillow covers by Shabby Fabrics along with the required pillow form to display them. There are 6 sessions in total; two classes per themed pillow.



The themes for the fall sessions are:
September - Halloween Theme
October - Winter Theme
November - Christmas Theme

This Machine Appliqué Club will take place in segments, two classes per month per themed pillow. Sewers will be required to complete their projects both at home and in class. The club is directed more to technique which gives participants the ability and knowledge to complete projects on their own.
