Begining Quilting
We are offering a Beginners Quilting class to help you gain confidence and build skills. Join Bib & Tucker Sew-Op's Shirley Hamilton, as she teaches you the basics of quilting based on the simple Irish Chain quilt, constructed using Nine-Patch blocks. Come prepared to have fun and learn. Open to ages 8 and up, under 12 must be accompanied by an adult for the full duration of the class.
Between now and the class, we suggest you set up your machine, give it a good cleaning, wind a bobbin, thread your machine, put in a new needle, and practice stitching, to make sure you are comfortable with your machine and ready to get sewing during the class. (This is not a class on how to use your machine).
