Free-Motion Quilting 201: Using Rulers
You've been doing free-motion quilting, but you're curious about the new FMQ rulers you've been seeing. You're not quite sure how to get started. No worries! We'll get you going! NOTE: You must already know how to do free-motion quilting to take this class. Cost: $28 plus supplies. Supplies: You can buy the Slim and Archie rulers at the store, and you'll need to get those plus the foot for your particular machine ahead of time. You can get the more generic Westalee ruler foot, or you can check with your dealer to get a specific FMQ ruler foot. (The Bernina foot is a 72 foot.) Be sure you've ordered a foot for your machine from your sewing-machine dealer so that you have them in time for the class. Machingers gloves are required. You need a wash-out blue pen. Prepare about three quilt sandwiches and have contrasting, good-quality thread. Feel free also to have ready to quilt a placemat or table runner made from ugly fabrics! Fresh needles are essential. Tuesday, Mar. 23, 6-8 PM on Zoom.

Quilting 101 Placemats
Let's get started quilting. You'll make one placemat in class, and you'll learn all kinds of cool things, such as matching at the corners, cutting safely, picking fabrics, quilting, binding, and of course, the famous scant quarter-inch seam (whatever that is!). Cost: $42 plus supplies. Supplies: You'll need a machine in good working order. You'll also need the pattern and all the fixin's! Make an appointment to stop by at least a few days before the class begins so we can help you pick out your fabric and notions. We suggest our Creative Grids rulers, which are easy to use with a non-slip grip and visible markings; our Creative Grids mats, which are the best cutting mats in the whole wide world; and our Olfa rotary cutters, which are sturdy, safe, and easy to use. Good tools and fabrics really do matter--they increase happiness and keep frustration low! January 19, 28, & Feb. 2, from 6-8 PM on Zoom.

Rag Quilt
There's nothing homier than a rag quilt. With its ragged edges, it looks good without your having to sew precisely. And it can be made out of any type of fabric?from prints to batiks. Cost: $35 plus supplies. Supplies: The amount of fabric you'll need will depend on how big you want your quilt. You'll also need batting, and you might want 505 spray to hold the squares together for quilting. Tuesdays, Feb. 9 & 23, 6-8 PM on Zoom.

Raw-Edge Applique 101
This class assumes that you may have only vaguely heard of "raw-edge applique." It's a way to place one fabric on top of another, glued down by a fusible material. It's an easy way to create gorgeous pictures with quilting! We'll make one cat block that night. If you don't know how to do it, and you're in this year's Block of the Month, you may want to sign up for this class. Just save the first block for working on in the class. Cost: $28 plus supplies. Make an appointment to stop by the shop, and we'll fix you up with the basics. Monday, Feb. 8, 6-8 PM on Zoom.

Supplies: Sewing machine, recently cleaned and oiled, with a new needle (I recommend a Microtex #80/12); walking foot for your machine; three 12?18" quilt sandwiches?cotton fabric on the top and bottom (muslin is a terrific choice), cotton batting in the middle, and basted together in the way you prefer (e.g., pins or spray-basted); a small project on which to practice quilting with your walking foot (e.g., a placemat, table runner, or wall hanging), basted and ready to quilt; 50 weight cotton thread in a color that contrasts with your fabric sandwiches; 1" blue painter?s tape; small ruler such as a hem gauge; basic sewing supplies; and Jacquie Gering?s book Walk: Master Machine Quilting with Your Walking Foot, which you can get at the shop.
