Introduction to Quilt Making with Sarah Harris
This two week course will guide you through all the steps required to make a simple lap quilt or baby play mat.
You will learn to use a rotary cutting equipment, to cut and piece simple patchwork, and then you will quilt, bind and finish your project.
This course requires a sewing machine – use one of ours or bring your own.
We will look at fabrics, waddings, threads, measuring, stitching and finishing techniques.
This course will get you started on adventures with patchwork and give you a basic grounding in the principles of quilting.
