Beginning Machine Appliqué
Tired of piecing blocks consisting of geometric
shapes? Ready to try curves, flowers, leaves, cir-

and stitching them in place along the edges. In
this class, you’ll learn how to trace, fuse and cut
out appliqué shapes. We’ll go over how to ma-

Class registration policy Full payment is due upon signing up for a class. You can make payment in the store, online,
or by phone. A supply list will be given or sent to you at that time.

Private Class For times when a regularly scheduled class just won’t do, we offer private classes to fill the void. Let’s say that a class you're interested in requires rotary skills, and you’re still snipping along with scissors. Well a 1-hour private class will bring you up to speed. Or say that you really want to get the hang of paper-piecing or some other skill. Or maybe our classes just don’t fit in your schedule. Talk to any one of us and we’ll find you the right person at the right time to teach you what you need to know. $25 per hour per person.
