Sew Simple Series
Level 2, Sandy
Over the years, Sandy has developed or taught many techniques to simplify the quiltmaking process, to make the most of your limited sewing time and to become more productive in the process. She will cover techniques by Mary Ellen Hopkins, Jackie Robinson, Kaye England and her other talented friends. You will sew in every class. If you want to use one of our fabulous Creative Vision machines, please bring in a sample of the seam allowance your home machine produces. That way you can continue your project at home. Each class will cover a different category of patchwork design. We’ll do rail sets; 4-patches and 9-patches; half-square triangles; quarter-square triangles; log cabins; design manipulation and lots, lots more. Some of the material from her former A Piece In Less Time series appears here. When we work from the MEH books, you will be able to bring your copies to class to put all the great notes into your books. But if you’ve taken APILT, this goes way beyond that. We know you will enjoy it! $65
