Westalee Ruler Quilting Taster Day Workshop with Angela Attwood
Saturday 22nd August – 10am – 4pm – £75 – Angie’s Ruler Quilting Taster Day covers the fundamentals of ruler work; understanding and choosing the correct ruler foot, template thickness, machine set up, threads, needles and of course basic ruler work technique using the Westalee 12” Arc, which has a straight edge and a curved side. Such a lot can be achieved with just one template!
The photograph shows an example of what you will learn.
(On booking, please let us know your make and model sewing machine you will be bringing along)
(Rulers are not included in the cost).
Requirements for students:
Angie is able to offer loan equipment given notice of everyone’s make and model of machine – ’try before you buy’ so to speak with no obligation to purchase. If some of you already own a ruler foot, you can use that too as long as it is 0.5” round.
Participants will need a sewing machine with an extension table and a few quilt sandwiches.
Angie is a authorised Westalee re-seller and carries stock. To give you an idea The Westalee Starter Set (Ruler foot and 12 Arc ruler) is £46.50.
If you already own a ruler foot, then the 12” Arc on its own is £19.50.
A 1/4” measuring tool of some kind is also very useful so a spacing gauge will be loaned for the workshop, £8.95 to purchase.
There is also a Beginners Essential kit ay £99 for those who take to ruler work and immediately know they will want to learn more, this is the best value collection. It includes the Starter Set, Spacing Gauge, a sampler set of 6 rulers plus an 8 point crosshair ruler.
(If you buy on the day from Angie, you will receive a free pattern).
