This course is aimed at anyone who wants to begin their journey to learn patchwork and quilting. The tutor aims to cover a variety of common techniques and the blocks can be repeated to make into anything from a large quilt, to a cushion or a bag.
Ideal for anyone wanting to make a baby quilt. Others may wish to attend to perfect their skills and be guided to work on a personal project.
Basic experience in using a sewing machine is essential such as being able to wind a bobbin, thread up the machine and sew in a straight line. Patchwork is much easier to access than dressmaking and is a great way to use even basic sewing skills to be creative. The centre has several sewing machines to use or you may prefer to bring your own.
Whilst not essential, more progress will be made if learners have access to a sewing machine at home. Fabric scissors, a notebook, some fine pins and some cotton fabric such a pack of fat quarters. The tutor is keen that you resist spending a lot of money on special tools and equipment.
