Classes
FPP Quilting Intro Course
This is an 8 week course offered through Bellevue College's Continuing Education Department. Students will learn the basics of foundation paper piecing and quilting by creating a small quilted blanket. Students will develop their skills around using their sewing machine, creating quilt blocks, attaching the quilt blocks and binding the quilt. This course will also introduce the concepts around quilt block design.
This course is simple enough for someone who has never quilted but is also appropriate for someone who is a quilter who has never attempted the foundation paper piecing technique.
Longarming Classes
Four longarming classes are offered. Longarming 101 is required to take the advanced classes.
Longarming 201: This class is for people who have taken Longarm 101 will focus on free motion, ruler work, and how to combine the two to create interesting designs.
Longarming 202: Students will learn how to create and combine designs and improve their control of the longarm. We will cover ideas for borders, motifs, background designs, and drawing with the longarm.
Longarming 203: Students will increase their skill with rulers. You will learn how to use types of rulers that were not covered in Longarming 201.
I also now teach Longarm Club, once a month.
