Beginning Paper Piecing
|
Come join us as we cover the basics of paper piecing. If you know how to sew and cut fabric, you are halfway there. We will also complete a paper pieced block in class which will be a part of a 4-block wall hanging or pillow top. You may enjoy it so much that you decide you want to keep making the same block in order to sew an entire quilt.
After completing this class, you will have a good understanding of how to paper piece and how to follow any paper piecing pattern. You will be glad you learned another quilting technique to expand your creativity.
