Jodi Robinson
Wednesday: 6 Hrs: 9:30am – 4:30pm
Skill Level: Beginner – CONFIDENT BEGINNER
This class is designed to help anyone who has been hesitant to break into freehand machine quilting. Because the "Quilt to Fill" method gives you some marked boundaries to stay within, it is an excellent method for quilters who have been reluctant to move into doing freehand quilting designs. We will cover block, border, and triangle designs. This is a basic method that can start out simple, and then grow with you, as you become a more advanced quilter. Class is based on my "Quilt to Fill" and "MORE Quilt to Fill" books.
