Pre Beginner Quilting: Yellow Brick Road Quilt with Dudley Shugart (2 sessions)
Saturdays, October 26 and November, 2024
10:30 am – 1:30 pm
Do you want to make a quilt, but are a little afraid of a sewing machine? This is the class for you! We will learn the very basic steps to sewing with a machine and have a simple — but beautiful — quilt as the result. Beginner cutting and sewing techniques will be emphasized too. Join Dudley to gain your confidence in handling and using a sewing machine while learning her favorite “go to” pattern for quick quilt gifts — she has made dozens over the years!

Note: while the pattern and fabric requirements are required from each student, if you don’t yet own a sewing machine, rotary cutter, ruler or mat, email us to discuss.
