Modern Garden Quilt Top

The gorgeous Modern Garden quilt will have your friends wondering - how did you do that? Although the finished design looks challenging, instructor Michelle Wyman will break it down into easy-to-sew steps that even a beginner quilter can handle.

This class is two, 2-1/2 hour sessions

Date: Two Tuesdays, February 5 & 12, 6pm - 8:30pm

In this class, you will learn:

• How to sew accurate 1/4" seams
• Precision cutting with a rotary cutter and ruler
• How to use the studio die cutter and speed up your cutting process
• Techniques for accurate piecing
• How to use color value and placement to achieve a balanced overall design

Skill level: Beginner 102

This is a great pattern for beginners, but you will already need to know how to use a sewing machine before you take this class. You can take any of our Learn To Sew classes to learn how to use a machine.

You will leave class with a quilt top (or nearly finished one!) and the confidence to take on more complicated patterns and techniques.

This class covers how to make the quilt top. If you would like help finishing the quilt, we recommend you follow up this class with Learn To Quilt II. In that class, Michelle will cover how to complete your quilt with instruction in quilting and binding the finished top. Another option is to have your quilt longarm quilted by Hello Stitch!
