‘Walk the Walk’ Quilting Workshop with Janet Goddard on Saturday 4th July

‘Walk the Walk’ Quilting Workshop with Janet Goddard from Patchwork Patterns

Saturday 16th May – 10am – 4pm – £50 – Do you make patchwork quilt tops and then get stuck with the quilting? In this class we will explore the use of the walking foot for quilting, practice various techniques and make a set of samples to take home.

Please note that this is a technique class and there will be some preparation of materials needed beforehand.

Requirements:

The requirements listed below are sufficient to make a set of eight samples

• Eight wadded fabric “sandwiches” measuring 10” x 14” each (Each fabric sandwich needs to have a backing, wadding and light plain fabric top. The *wadding needs to be fixed to the *backing and *top either by using a fixing spray such as *505 or with *safety pins. The use of fixing spray is preferable as it makes it easy to draw the grids and quilt without moving pins. These sandwiches need to be prepared before class)
• *Cotton thread and two full bobbins
• Sewing machine and walking foot (essential to bring a walking foot)
• *Ruler (at least 4” x 20”)
• *Marking pen or pencil or water erasable pen that will show up on your plain fabric
• Usual sewing equipment

*Can be purchased at Poppy Patch
