DESCRIPTION OF CLASS:
These classes are on the basics needed to get started, for the wannabe or the beginner quilter. I will explain how to prepare and load a quilt on a machine, the tension adjustments, needles, the threading, and threads, attaching the bindings while the quilt top is on the machine, and some information on tools and supplies needed for a beginner to get off to a good start. Students will drive the machine with I/S and without.
Students will take home any samples that they quilt in class.
