Beginners Quilt-Along: Log Cabin
Class Length: 8 classes, 3hrs/ea
Class Cost: $215
Are Materials Included? No. A material list will be provided or full kits are available for purchase from Hoop & Bee
Class Description: Never made a quilt before and not sure where to start? Have you only made small projects and you’re nervous to go bigger on your own? For this series we will use a pre-cut “jelly roll” to make a 46”x63” throw size Log Cabin Quilt, going through every step of making a quilt from beginning to end. We will meet every Sunday, 2pm-5pm, from September 14th until November 2nd.
During this eight week class, you will use our studio equipment to learn to press and accurately cut fabrics using rotary cutters and acrylic rulers, how to read a quilt pattern, how to sew a consistent quarter inch seam, how to thread or pin baste your completed top, batting, and backing for quilting, and how to bind and finish a quilt.
A full syllabus and materials list will be emailed following your registration. Students may bring fabric or purchase a discounted kit from Hoop & Bee that includes a jelly roll, coordinating fabric for the borders, background, and binding, and batting. Kits may be purchased as part of the registration process and will be waiting for you on the first day of class, or at the door on the first day of class.
No homework will be expected and we should have time to complete all tasks within the class schedule, but students will have free access to any Open Sew if they require or would feel safer and more comfortable to have additional time.
This class will run with 3+ participants.
PLEASE NOTE: While no experience is necessary, if you have never used a sewing machine before and are feeling nervous or stressed about using one for the first time, please consider taking our Sewing Machine Confidence Builder prior to this class, or get in touch for a private one-on-one lesson.
