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!
