Nancy Hinds' Workshops
Machine Quilting -
This class teaches the student to work with their sewing
machine to confidently quilt using both freehand and straight line techniques.
Each student will work on muslin samples, practicing continuous line stitching
and various types of all over quilting designs. We will cover not only
stitching, but also thread types, marking tools, marking options, and basting.
There is a $12 kit fee for this class, which provides everything except
thread and sewing machine.
A Little More Machine Quilting -
So you know how to stipple by machine, but need a little more instruction
showing other designs. The focus in this class is to familiarize
the student with many ways to approach your quilting--from using specialty
threads to intricate free motion work. A kit fee of $15 in
the class includes everything you will need in class.......5 different
types of specialty thread, black fabric for samples, and batting........except
for bobbin thread and sewing machine. See just how much fun it can
be to work with metallics, nylon, and jean stitch threads!
Quick and Easy Drunkard's Path by Machine -
Curved seams - no problem! Produce beautiful curved seam
blocks, quickly and easily. You will be amazed how simple this pin-free
technique is to do, even beginners will excel! This method can be
used with any block that contains curved seams.
Color In Quilts-
Working on simple four patch blocks, each student will go through a
variety of exercises to have hands-on class samples. Participants
will bring squares from their own fabric stash to work with in class.
Experimenting with contrast, color, texture, to name a few, you will stitch
together blocks in class which can then be sewn into a quilt top, or made
into a sample booklet for future reference. This class is a favorite
among all quilters,from beginners to advanced, and traditional to contemporary.
