Since its inception Encore has allowed us to more easily use multiple repeats of a design without having to meticulously line everything up. Designs appear in perfect alignment almost magically and can be adjusted with minimal effort. Surprising things happen, too, when letters are used in the Encore wizard. It is a perfect way to line up numbers to make a clock face. In this class we will explore using circles, lines, and shapes with embroidery designs, monograms, numbers to make exciting new designs.

Each month a different technique. Fun way for both beginners and non-beginners to learn and practice piecing and quilting techniques. Come to one, a few, or all of the classes. Stained Glass Applique is the September block. Stained Glass Applique quilts are made by fusing fabric shapes to background fabric and covering the edges with fabric bias strips. The end result is a design that looks like stained glass. Typically the bias strips used are black but in reality, any color can be used. You are the designer; do what you want to do!
