Beginning Quilting



Not interested in sewing clothes? In this class you'll learn the basics of quiltmaking, from rotary cutting your pieces, sewing a 1/4" seam, all the way to binding and finishing. You'll make a 12" square sample quilt that's perfect for a wall hanging or mug rug. Absolute beginners will make a basic 9-patch, while those with more sewing experience may choose a Flying Geese or star pattern.

Classes are held in our store at 1338 Grand Ave., St. Paul, 55105
Full payment is required to reserve your space in class.
