About

If you want to quilt but don't know where to start, this class will walk you through how to begin, covering all the little-known tips, tricks, and best practices for learning or improving your skills. You'll learn the importance of fabric selection; how to accurately measure; how to cut, pin, and press; how to use a rotary cutter; how to select thread; and much more. You'll prepare and "square up" a quilt block to make a perfect "half-square triangle."

You'll walk away ready to join the Quilt Block-of-the-Month Club as well as improve your skills in BARN's Busy Bee, which meets two Tuesdays a month.

Details

All materials for the class will be provided.

Class Policies

Ages 18 and up are welcome.
