Beginning Quilting
Class Length: 3 hours
Class Cost: $55
Are Materials Included? YES! Materials are provided by Hoop & Bee for this class.
Class Description: Never tried quilting before but want to find out if it’s your hidden passion? Want to grow your skills alongside other aspiring quilters? Whether you're a sewing novice or making your comeback to the maker community, our Beginning Quilting Class will demystify sewing machines and many common quilting tools, fabric preparation, steps of the quilting process, as well as teach you how to read quilting patterns. You will learn the basics of quilting hands-on with Hoop & Bee’s Bernina Academy sewing machines and all the other tools you need to feel confident with every stitch.
In this 101-level, introductory-style session, we will be making an unfinished quilt block using various techniques or quilting fundamentals. This is a great class to take more than once to grow your skill set, as each class is a unique block. Then save your block for making a sampler quilt, a wall hanging, or table runner later on — or sew it onto the back of a denim jacket! All fabric is provided and any fabric contributions either for personal use or to share are welcome and encouraged.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have never used a sewing machine before or are feeling nervous about using one, please consider taking our Sewing Machine Confidence Builder prior to this class or get in touch for a private one-on-one lesson.
