This class teaches you the basics of machine quilting. There will be 3 easy patterns to choose from.  All levels are welcome.  Some sewing background is helpful.  You will learn how to choose the right fabric (color and designs) for the quilt.   You will then rotary cut, strip piece and machine piece blocks together to complete the top portion of the quilt. Learn different techniques for making flying geese and half-square triangles. Finally you will learn the finishing touches: putting borders on, how to back the quilt, top stitching all three layers together, and binding. This is a hands on class, so when the class is completed, you will be a proud owner of a beautiful finished quilt.
