Beginning Quilt Making Class with Marnet

This class is five sessions.  Valuable information and new techniques will be discussed in each session. 

Learn the skills needed to create a 4 or 6 Block Sampler Quilt top – from start to finish -- including rotary cutting, piecing techniques, piecing the blocks, adding sashing and borders, and creating and basting your quilt “sandwich” in preparation for quilting.  Marnet will demonstrate basic machine quilting techniques, using a walking foot to quilt straight or wavy lines. In the final class you will learn to bind your quilt

You decide whether you want to make a 4 block wall-hanging, a table runner or a 6-block small lap or baby quilt.  If you choose the six block variation, you will be given instructions on how to make a variation of blocks taught in class. 

Homework between class sessions will be needed to enable you to complete your quilt in the sessions allotted.  Consistent access to a sewing machine that you can bring to class is essential.

This is a multi-session class.  Different skills will be taught in each class, 

Make-up classes are not offered unless the entire class must be cancelled due to weather or other circumstances. In the case of a missed session, the instructor may be able to share the lesson plan and homework with the student, but she will not be expected to hold a make-up session, nor change the plans of the next class so that students can catch up.  No refunds will be offered for missed sessions.
