Find X Designs Chenille Technique Vintage Effect, Modern Tools Day: 30 March 2017 Time: 12-4pm Instructor: Taylor Class Cost: $20
Hand-cutting chenille quilts is a technique that has been around a long time, but it’s starting to experience some resurgence as modern quilters are rediscovering traditional designs. They’re perfect for quilting small projects, like lap throws and baby gifts. The best part? No batting required! Making chenille looks complicated, but with a walking foot, or (even better!) a PFAFF sewing machine with its built in walking foot, and one special tool called a chenille cutter, it’s actually an easier and cheaper way to craft a quilt. Join us for this class and learn how to do this gorgeous technique.
