6 weeks

6pm – 8pm

Cost: £55

Materials Included

 Over the course of 6 weeks, you will learn the basics of making your very own quilt. A wonderfully therapeutic past time, quilting encourages playfulness with colour, shape, and stitch. It is fantastically sustainable as you can learn to make use of all those unused scraps of fabric and transform old clothes into creative and meaningful items.

Participants will be led through the basic steps to making a small quilt, wall hanging or cushion cover, and this course is suitable for beginners and those with a basic knowledge of how to use a sewing machine; no quilting or patchwork skills are necessary.

Things to learn will be the safe use of a rotary cutter and quilting ruler, fabric selection and cutting, machine piecing your project, techniques to put your quilt together and baste it ready for quilting, machine quilting techniques and how to bind and finish your project.

We have a limited number of sewing machines so please do bring your own if you have one. Please ensure you indicate at booking if you require a Duncairn machine.
