Curved Piecing

Sat, Apr 20

9 am – 12 noon

$65 per person

Includes ruler and practice fabric

Instructor: Michelle Henderson, Seams Like Quilting

When we started quilting, we were so stuck in a box. The box of straight lines! Curved piecing is a daunting prospect and many patterns that rely on curved piecing get left on our quilting bucket lists for a loooooong time. Luckily, the Quick Curve Ruler is a tremendous help breaking down the wall between straight line blocks and curved blocks. And the techniques used for the ruler can help with standard curved piecing as well!

Join us April 20, 9-12 as we break the curve barrier with a striking mini-quilt using the Quick Curve Ruler from Sew Kind of Wonderful. All fabric and specialty notions, including the Quick Curve Ruler, are included. Please bring your sewing machine and basic supplies. Shared irons and ironing boards will be available. Class limit: 6

What is a Skill Building Class?

At Seams Like Quilting, we want your only limit to be your imagination!

As a set of skills, quilting is much like cooking. We can work from a recipe (pattern) and often do. But once in awhile, dinner just needs to get on the table. So we rely on foundational skills, dig around in the pantry, and bring something together. Knowing how to cook is about more than following a recipe. And knowing how to quilt is the same. Often, we avoid patterns we like because they use techniques we’re uncomfortable with. Our skill building class series is about introducing those techniques. We never know what our next favorite skill will be!!

Skills Used/Learned in this class:
Cutting curves without a template
Machine piecing curves

We welcome you to our classes! Classes run with a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 6. Bring your machine, rotary cutter, mat, and basic notions to class. No refunds are given unless is cancelled by the shop. Communication of class status will be via email.
