Quilting Workshop

Yesterday we held the second of our Saturday workshops, this time on quilting. We looked at hand quilting, straight/curved lines using the walking foot and free machine quilting, the latter being what most of those attending wanted to try their hand at. Some of us have machines that do a few embroidery stitches so we had a quick look at using these too.

The day went well, with 13 attending the workshop. Tea, coffee and biccies were provided; attendees brought their sewing kit, a packed lunch and lots of pre-prepared quilt sandwiches to use for their practice and samples.

Here are a few photos from the day. Hopefully, the confidence is now there to practice at home as, with practice, the stitches do become more even and the curves smoother.
