Walking Foot Quilting on April 14th from 10 to 4.

Learn to layer your quilt top with batting and backing and then use a walking foot on your regular sewing machine for a beautiful finish. Diane will share some easy tricks and numerous ideas for what to quilt on your project. Get a running start on your quilt and leave with the confidence that you can finish your quilts at home! Bring lunch if you like or plan to order in to save time. Optional: Buy a kit from Mangelsen’s with everything you need for the class, including a panel on which to practice (replaces quilt top on supply list).
