Finding inspiration with every stitch
Tips & Techniques
At each monthly meeting, one of our many talented members shares their knowledge with us. We have learned many wonderful tips & techniques so far, and we will be sharing that information on this page as we are able. This is also where you will find other videos that all quilters, no matter your level of experience, will enjoy and learn from.
Some of the upcoming tips & techniques that have been scheduled include:
-
Making your own ironing table
-
Sashiko with Paula
-
Cyndi will be talking about precision piecing
We are looking forward to learning from these talented ladies!
Cyndi shared valuable information about the many "feet" our machines can use. Look at your machine manufacturer’s site to see what OEM feet are available for your machine and what they’re used for.
