Ever wonder how those beautiful, precise quilting designs are made? You don’t need a longarm to get professional results! Join Vonnie at Ana’s Sewing Studio to discover the art of Rulerwork for Beginners.
In this monthly class, we will demystify the process of using templates and rulers on your home sewing machine. We’ll be working on small quilt sandwiches that can later be joined together using the "Quilt As You Go" technique. You’ll learn how to use every template in the Sew Steady Beginner Essentials Kit, starting with sample blocks and moving on to creating your own custom designs on paper first. You might just be surprised by your own artistic side!
This is a recurring monthly class designed to build your confidence one step at a time. While you don’t need to attend every session, the more you come, the more your skills will grow.
