Patchwork for Beginners: Disappearing Nine Patch, or Traditional Nine Patch, Quilt
£40.00
As our current course comes to a close, dates have now been set for more opportunities to join this course starting in September 2024; on either Thursdays or Saturdays.
Over five monthly sessions, designed especially for those new to patchworking, you will learn all the necessary techniques, practise your new skills and end with a beautiful quilt.
Session 1 will cover choosing and preparing fabric, cutting and piecing to form the traditional Nine-Patch blocks.
In Session 2 you will design your layout, assemble your blocks and add sashing between the blocks.
In Session 3 you will complete your quilt top by adding a flange and borders – or you may wish to add multiple borders!
in Session 4 it is now time to chose fabric for your backing, choose your wadding from the many different types available. We will discuss the pros and cons of each one so you can make an informed choice. We will spend the session getting the quilts sandwiched, and you will begin to quilt using a walking foot. We will discuss the different ways in which you may like to stitch your quilting – each one will give a different look to the finished quilt. You will return for
Session 5, the last of the monthly sessions, will be when you finish your quilt, attach the binding and tie in the threads.
