Learn to Machine Quilt with a domestic sewing machine. ****NEW DATES ADDED!!***



Learn to Machine Quilt using a domestic sewing machine!

Learn how to move big quilts through a domestic sewing machine, master straight stitching using the start and stop technique and learn valuable free motion quilting lessons.

The object of the class is to learn to move big quilts through a domestic machine, master straight stitching using the start and stop technique that Paula will teach you and to learn and/or improve your free motion skills. Therefore, you need to work on a project that will give you an opportunity to work in straight lines as well as free motion.

About Paula...

Often described as an “artist with a sewing machine”, Paula Reid is a custom heirloom quilting specialist.  “Fluff & Stuff” is what Paula calls her method for moving large quilts through a home machine.  She began teaching workshops on her techniques in the southern California region in 1993, expanding to national teaching a few years later when appearances on “Simply Quilts” brought her to the attention of a larger audience.  Now spending weeks at a time on the road, she has decided that nothing is more fun than sharing ideas with the quilters she meets on her travels.

What you'll learn in this quilting class:

Is that stack of quilting tops getting bigger and bigger? Have you always wanted to take your machine quilting skills out of the ditch? Do you want to learn free motion quilting?

Paula quilts approximately 100 quilts a year. She uses her Fluff & Stuff method to move those big quilts through her home machine and she will show you how to start fluffing and stuffing too!

Try out our new machines and work hands-on to create this masterpiece!

***IMPORTANT NOTE***  In the list above, it says to bring a "darning foot" —  you WILL NOT need to bring a darning foot; you will have one included with your use of the machines in the store.

**AND YET ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE***  We are providing the machines for your use during this class.  DO NOT BRING YOUR SEWING MACHINE. 

This going to be a very informative and fun class.  Please be prepared before you show up for class.
