Hand Quilting

$85.00

With Susan Chiappini

one afternoon, in person

Saturday, May 25, 2024, 10-2:00

Glebe House, 635 Main Street in Poughkeepsie

Come learn the fundamentals of quilt construction in this weekend workshop with local quilt maker, Susan Chiappini of ArrowMaker Quilts.

In this workshop Susan will cover

  • marking fabric in preparation for hand quilting

  • Creating the quilt sandwich where the marked fabric is layered on batting and backing

  • Hand stitching techniques

  • Thread and needle choices appropriate for the type of stitching we're doing

  • Use and adjustment of a hoop for hand stitching

There is fabric at Fall Kill students can choose from, but they can aslo bring students their own cotton solid or tiny print fabric. Fall Kill will provide rotary cutters, self healing cutting mats, and 18 x 24” grid rulers to share, but we encourage you to bring your own, if you own these tools.

*Please note that this is a skills workshop, so you won’t go home with a finished quilt. You should come away with a quilt square and will have a solid working knowledge of fundamentals for creating your own unique pieces.
