Machine Quilting with Rulers on a Domestic Sewing Machine

  • 432 59th Street Downers Grove, IL, 60516 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Using a ruler is a great way to quilt smooth straight lines or curves without messing up the “flow” of free motion quilting. If you’ve been wondering how to add ruler work to your domestic machine quilting repertoire, this workshop is for you. There will be two workshops with a maximum of only 15 students in each. This means more one on one time with the teachers. You will get a great deal of practice and mentoring in this workhop. Join Debbie and Bobbi for a very valuable workhop.

Classes taught on Oct 24 and October 25 are the same class. Sign up for the one date that works best for you.
