Express Free Motion Quilting

Have you been wondered about Free Motion Quilting, seen someone else's beautiful work and wanted to learn? Well, now's your chance!!

This Express (one-day) workshop will cover basting the quilt sandwich, threads, and several free motion quilting designs. Some typical first designs that are popular include stippling, loops, hearts, and stars.

Quilters will leave with their samples for reference, and great ideas for their own quilts at home.

Wendy will bring a selection of her threads to discuss and offer for purchase. Cheques, cash or credit possible.

Our Instructor is Wendy Foster-Birch. Thanks so much Wendy!

Note: This is a Techniques Workshop for Beginners. No actual quilts will be completed. Participants must have a working sewing machine and be able to operate it.

**You will need to prepare sample quilt sandwiches prior to class.

Cost: $45 for Member; $50 for Non-Members
