Piecing quilts is fun, but what’s next? Forget trying to quilt perfect straight parallel lines and give free-motion quilting a try instead. This technique is unstructured and improvisational – time to let your inner perfectionist take a break! You’ll work on a practice quilt sandwich learning traditional meandering, stipple, and curlicue patterns. Note: Your sewing machine must have the ability to drop (or cover) feed dogs and you will need a free-motion quilting presser foot. Skill Level: Advanced Beginner Fee: $30 Instructor: Elizabeth Merritt Thursday 6:30 – 9:30 January 24 |

Time for a new coat? When you live in Minnesota, your coat should be more than something to keep you warm. It is a wardrobe essential that can be fashionable and change with the season. Whether you want to move into winter in a toasty warm wool or be a step ahead for spring in a new trench, why not sew what you want? Learn what to look for in patterns and fabric, when and how to use underlining and interfacing, and which techniques work best for what you have chosen. Please bring pattern or fabric choices you are considering to the first class. Skill Level: Intermediate Fee: $175 Instructor: Michele Hoaglund Friday 6:00 – 9:00 January 18, February 1, 15, March 1, 15, 29 |
