Layering and Quilting

Sunday 10th September – Morning 10.30am – 1pm

Tutor – Catriona Brown

This class is for those students who have finished a patchwork top and want to know how to turn that into a quilt. We’ll send out instructions on methods of piecing backing fabric and calculating how much backing fabric you’ll need so you can turn up ready to layer your quilt. We’ll go over this at the start of the class. Using demonstrations and sample pieces Catriona will show you how to prepare and baste your quilt top as well as how to machine and hand quilt.

We should be able to baste your quilt in the class depending on its size and the number of people attending the class. If the quilt you want to work on is for a King Size bed we may need to ask you to practise on a sample piece! The aim is to baste your quilt layers together and get started on the quilting. You should then be confident on how to finish the quilting at home. If you need assistance with how to bind your quilt, there is a separate class on this later in the term. You can see all the details here

You should come along to the class with a quilt top as well as backing fabric and wadding at least 4″ wider and taller than the quilt top.

You must be able to use a sewing machine for this class.
