Machine Quilting Basics

You have your quilt top done and now you want to learn to quilt your three layers together. This beginner level class will introduce you to both straight line and free motion machine quilting techniques. You will learn to mark your quilt, use templates, free motion patterns and go home with a bag of useful tips to get you started. You will need to bring in your sewing machine, walking foot, and free motion/ darning foot. If you own a pair of machine quilting gloves bring them along or you can get a pair at the store.

Do you like Redwork?

Did you know that Redwork Embroidery has quite a history? Rissa Peace Root has a very well written article: A Redwork Embroidery Primer where she explains the history and evolution of Redwork and provides some great links too. 

Combining stitchery into quilts is quite a trend with quilters both traditional and modern. Learning the basic stitches and techniques will help you create your very own unique quilts.  

The images below are from the Redwork Winter Twitterings Block of the Month Program we had at the store. The program was so popular we had to run it twice! 

Here's another example of what you can do with Stitchery.
