You've taken our Quick Start Machine Sewing class and are ready to dive into learning the basics of quilting. In this session, you will be creating a fun scrappy placemat. The technique involved in this skill building class is creating a scrappy free-form log cabin using the quilt-as-you-go method. After you construct the placemat, you will finish the edge with customized binding. Once you finish one, you will be able to make many more!
The book "That Handmade Touch," is required for the class. We can order the book for you at a class discount.
