Big Stitches
Tickets go on sale to members April 5. Non-members April 20.
Big Stitches focuses on the tools and techniques needed to begin big stitch quilting. No hoop required! Due to space limitations at this venue, no extra tables will be allowed. This is a hand sewing class, so don't bring your sewing machine.
Students will create their own sampler from several different types of specialty thread and use a variety of tools and notions. When they are done with the class they will have a very good idea of what tools work best for them and how different kinds of threads will actually look in their work. In the afternoon the focus will be on the trendy technique that is all the rage, visible mending. Students will build upon techniques practiced in the morning and will learn how to prepare an area for mending, prepare the patch, and what kind of stitches work best.
There is a $20 fee for a required kit that includes the basic tools of big stitch quilting and thread.
