Beginner's Machine Patchwork – Lap / Cot Quilt

This course involves making a patchwork quilt with a completed size of approximately 110cm x 140cm.

You will learn how to piece accurately, layer up, quilt, and attach binding.

Your squares will be pre-cut for you, but a demonstration will be given in how to use a rotary cutter and ruler for accurate cutting.

You will either need to call in prior to the class to choose your fabrics, or alternatively, you can choose from one of the prepared bundles.

Tea, coffee, soft drinks and homemade cake are included.

This is an all-day course, so you will need to either bring a packed lunch, or buy something from a local shop on the day.

Skill level: Beginner / intermediate

As for all of our sewing workshops, you must be able to use a sewing machine with a reasonable level of skill. On that basis, you should have either completed an “introduction to sewing machines” session, or have used a sewing machine yourself to undertake simple tasks like joining two pieces of fabric. If you have not done this, this course will not be suitable.

Ideally, you will also have attended one of our patchwork cushion courses, as this will give you a good grounding in the basic techniques around piecing your quilt.

It is unlikely that everyone will go home with a completed item; you will probably need to finish slip stitching your binding by hand after the class.
