Beginners Quilt Sampler Class
Learn how to make a sampler quilt as a beginner or just build on your skills. In addition to new blocks, you will learn how color choices change the design and focus of the block. These fundamentals will open you up to the wonderful world of quilting.
This course is designed to help the beginner quilter gain confidence with piecing skills. Students will learn to read a pattern, fabric care, right sides together, 1/4″ seam allowance, pressing seams open, alternating seams, nesting seams, proper pressing techniques, making some basic building blocks including half square triangles and flying geese.
Cutting with a Rotary Cutter, rulers and much more. By the end of your 10/12 week course, you will have your finished top complete!
The first class you will receive the fabric requirements, pattern and supply list. You will then learn about fabric color and value before going into The Quilt Shop to choose your own fabrics for your quilt.
Needed Supplies
Sewing Machines are not needed for the first class. But will be needed for all classes thereafter.
Your Fabric Choice
Thread
A Good Pair of Scissors
Stick Pins
A Seam Ripper
If I had known some of these techniques when I first started quilting, I might not have had such a hard time of it. I very vividly remember cutting fabric with a pair of scissors on the carpet in total frustration. You don’t want to be that person.
