Learn a new technique that will take your skills to the next level! **It is helpful to be familiar with paper piecing in general.

Fabric/Supply Requirements:

  • You can use a light box at home if you want to add 1/4″ borders for seam allowance to your patterns after they are designed. I will demonstrate procedure for future use. Any ideas on patterns you want to create. I will walk students through procedure individually as time allows.
