Bring your own machine to class; just a basic machine is needed; one that does straight stitching. There will be homework. Much of the sewing will be done at home.
The class project is the small lap quilt shown. It measures approximately 41x41 inches. Great as a baby quilt, pet quilt, lap quilt, bed topper, table topper, etc. The My Take 4 Quilt pattern, designed for this class, is included in the class fee. Batting is also included in the class fee.
Click here for the materials and supplies list for the class. It can be downloaded and printed.
In class you will be given a USB drive that contains all of the class handouts in pdf file format: instructions, reference materials and 'slide shows' of various steps in making the quilt top. These do not replace your coming to class. Printed 'class copies' of the handouts will be available in class, for use in class. So you need not bring your own copies to class.
We have lots of fun in the class, learn a lot about our sewing machines, learn how to sometimes salvage mistakes by turning them into creative opportunities, and we learn a lot from each other as well as from the fuddy-duddy old instructor. I hope you will come join the class.
