Mastering Hand Quilting: The Stab Stitch Half-Day 3 hours

quilting

Learn poke-pull (or stab-stitch) quilting. Executed differently than the running stitch, poke-pull quilting allows you to make quilting stitches that are truly reversible. No more calluses, no sore fingers, and no need for a thimble, poke-pull quilting is especially good for those with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or limited flexibility due to mastectomies.

What Quilting Pattern Goes Where Half-Day 3 hours

Quilting transforms the quilt. You spent hours picking colors, choosing fabrics, and constructing the quilt top. The choice of a quilting pattern deserves the same care. This discussion course helps you to decide what type of quilting best enhances your quilt, whether by hand or machine, traditional or contemporary. Students are encouraged to bring quilt tops they'd like help with.
