Beginning Hand Piecing
A beginner level class |
2 sessions,
plus one one-on-one - $25.00 – with Gigi McEver
Come learn the calming art of hand piecing. Hand piecing
is mobile. You can piece in a waiting room, in front of the TV, or in
your favorite quiet spot. Before you know it, you’ve assembled some
blocks, then a quilt top. In this class we will cover the basics:
~ fabric handling
~ assembling blocks
~ template drafting
~ sewing on the bias
~ seam marking
~ sewing on a curve
~ using a needle and thimble
~ sewing a “Y” seam
~ pressing
We will work with “practice fabrics” to help you get the feel of what
you’re doing. You may decide to use what you make in class to start a
quilt top.
There are two class sessions and one one-on-one session at a mutually
convenient time to discuss any problems you might be having. Please join
us! I look forward to sharing the joy of hand piecing with you.
