Learn to Quilt from Start to Finish

Do you want to learn to quilt or improve your skills? This is the class for you; no quilting experience needed. However you do need to be comfortable with basic operation of your sewing machine including winding a bobbin, threading your machine, and sewing a straight line. At the end of the four sessions, you will have learned the basic skills of quilt making while making a table topper. We want to make sure your quilt is completed at the end of the four sessions, so there will be homework each week. 


Class 1: We’ll be discussing tools and selecting fabrics. You’ll also learn the basics of using a rotary cutter, mat, and ruler to cut your fabric. 


Class 2: You’ll need to bring your sewing machine to this class. We’ll discuss sewing with an accurate 1/4” seam and start piecing your blocks.


Class 3: It’s your first quilt so your blocks may not have turned out exactly the right size. It’s okay! Diane will help you square up your blocks and determine how to cut your background so everything fits together. We’ll also discuss various ways to quilt your table topper and you’ll get started quilting.


Please note we skip a week between session 3 and 4.

Class 4: This week you’ll finish up the quilting and learn how to finish off the edges with binding. 


The $99 class fee includes 12 hours of instruction. The book, New Patchwork and Quilting Basics is needed for class ($24.95). This book is a great resource for quilting basics and includes many great project patterns. You will need to bring your own sewing machine to class starting with the second week or rent one of ours ($25 per session). During the first session, we'll discuss the tools needed for quilting and help you select fabric. On average students spend $50-$150 on fabric and additional supplies.
