Intro to Quilting Basics - Make a Patchwork Pillow MINI SERIES



Want to learn how to quilt without the big investment!? Give it a try in this mini series of two 4 hour sessions! This is a great way to dip your toes into the world of quilting and gain and understanding of the basic techniques. 

This course will cover all the important steps of:

  • Accurate cutting using ruler & rotary cutter
  • 1/4" seam allowance
  • Nesting Seams
  • Sandwiching Layers
  • Quilting stitches and best practices 
  • Assembling & attaching binding 
We will finish our pillow cover using the envelope fold method on the back.

This is beginner friendly, but students should have some familiarity with the sewing machine (threading, basic sewing)
