The classic start-to-finish class for the quilting beginner. For this class you will need to choose your fabrics prior. Call Barb at Stitcher's Quest if you need help with this. The fabrics should be pressed with Best Press prior to class. We will cover cutting, piecing, reading the pattern, color choices, block assembly, pressing techniques, quilting, and binding. There will be some homework for the evenings to keep up with class schedule and finish by end of camp.

| Skill Details: | A beginner class will be taught from a first-time perspective. Intermediate and advanced courses require previous experience with sewing, quilting, and embroidery.

Instruction focuses on cutting (when noted), sewing techniques, and assembly of the project. |
