Instructor – Lisa

Come join Lisa to learn the easiest techniques for free motion quilting. Finish your own projects instead of paying to have them done!

Supplies:

• Free Motion Foot – can be open toe free motion, spring action free motion foot or any other free motion foot.  Lisa prefers the open toe because it is easy to see where she is going next. Use whichever you are comfortable with. We can lend you one to try.
• Four 18″ x 18″ Quilt Sandwiches – Each quilt sandwich will consist of a top fabric (cotton, plain in color), batting of any kind and a backing fabric (cotton).
• Thread – should be a stark contrast to your top fabric and one that is similar to your top fabric.
• Topstitch Needle – for sewing machine

Lisa uses quilting gloves or a Free Motion Guide Grip to hold her quilt sandwich while she is quilting. If you have these items, bring them.  Lisa will bring a regular needle and thread to baste the quilt sandwich or if you prefer you can use safety pins or spray baste.

Easy sewing project…..Tissue Holder!

Once you have made this pillow case, you will want to make one for everyone you know. Learn the ‘hot dog’ method for a quick and easy way to whip up a pillow case.

Supplies:

• Pins, thread to sew seams, thread for embroidery designs, scissors and normal sewing supplies. 
• Main Fabric 27″ (I usually buy a yard and cut it down)
• Accent Piece  2″ ( I usually buy 1/4 yard and cut it down)
• Cuff  9″    (I usually buy 1/3 yard and cut it down)

Pre-wash and dry fabric as you would your sheets and pillow cases before you cut the fabric to size.  The fabric will probably shrink a little.

Pre Class Preparation is important.  If you do the following, it will allow you to go home with a completed project.

The 27″ piece, fold the selvage and press it with right sides OUT.

The 2″ piece should be cut the full width of the fabric.  Fold in half lengthwise and press with right sides OUT.

The 9″ piece should be cut the full width of the fabric.  Fold in half lengthwise and press with right sides OUT.
