Class Details
In this 3-hour lesson, Louise overviews longarm quilting possibilities and shares the basic skills you will need to complete your quilts, even if you’ve never finished a quilt before.
Taking place on Saturday mornings (usually the first Saturday of the month), class begins promptly at 9 am and finishes at noon. With a maximum class size of 9 quilters, you will learn how to prepare a quilt, choose patterns, thread, and batting.
