Join us for a fascinating morning class on the technique of free-motion quilting using the shop machines. Learn free-motion basics, such as: how to set up your machine and yourself; how to prepare fabrics; and which needles and threads to use. You'll learn useful stitching techniques such as stippling, pebbling and curves. After tuition and practice there is time to make a sampler of the stitches you learn, which you can take home for reference. With tutor Sue Everett.

This class is suitable for those who have been doing a beginners’ quilting class but have questions about how to finish their quilt. The morning class is dedicated to finishing techniques: how to put wadding in, quilting methods and binding your quilt.
