Walking Foot Class 

with

Tonya Alexander

We have added a new date!  If you missed the chance or had a scheduling conflict during our last Walking Foot class with Tonya Alexander of Stash Lab Quilts - now is your chance to join us!  Grab a sewing partner to join you and add to the fun - this is a great skill-building opportunity packed with great tips and inspiration.

Come and take a walk on the wild side - of machine quilting!  We'll explore the ins and outs of quilting with the walking foot on your domestic machine and go way beyond tried and true stitch-in-the-ditch.  Topics include basting, set-up and design decisions as well as several techniques to use walking foot quilting in your projects.  We'll sample match-stick, wavy echo, big spiral and many more!  You can register online, call or stop by the shop!
