Create a beautiful quilt from scratch under the expert tuition of Denise. Working in small groups and at your own pace you will create a machine sewn quilt with patchwork blocks the size of a play-mat, single sized bed or larger, if you wish. With no more than ten students in the class, you’ll be assured plenty of personal tuition and support from Denise, our tutor and the others in the class.
From complete beginners to students wanting to improve their patchwork skills and build their knowledge and experience.
This Patchwork course teaches machine patchwork and quilting and will cover techniques including:
Rotary cutting
Strip piecing
Applique
Bias making
Half square and quarter square triangles
Foundation piercing
Stained glass patchwork
This list isn’t exhaustive, and it can be led by the student.
Bring your own fabric and materials and we’ll send you a suggested shopping list once you’ve booked your place. Don’t forget your packed lunch unfortunately at this time we are unable to supply drinks, we request you bring your own flask.
One Janome sewing machine for each student. Bring your basic sewing kit and thread. Normally we would say that there’s no need to buy specialist quilting equipment before the course and you can borrow this during the class, however at the current time new students can contact the tutor directly to ask what you need. Cutting mats can be shared and will be wiped down in between students.
