Walking-Foot Quilting

Let's go beyond the X-across squares! Learn to use your walking foot to its best advantage to quilt your pieces. Squiggles, circles, and lines are all fun ways to quilt; Cynthia will show you just what to do. Cost: $30 plus supplies. Supplies: Sewing machine, recently cleaned and oiled, with a new needle (I recommend a Jeans-Denim #80/12); walking foot for your machine; three 12x18" quilt sandwiches with 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); if you like, 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 high-quality cotton thread in a color that contrasts with your fabric sandwiches; 1" blue painter’s tape; basic sewing supplies; and Jacquie Gering’s book Walk: Master Machine Quilting with Your Walking Foot, which you can get at the shop. Time: Wednesday, Nov. 16, 6-8 p.m. on Zoom.
