New threads require understanding for easy sewing. Proper needle, feet and tension make sewing with decorative threads a breeze. Some threads are too large for the needle, so how do you work with them? These threads may be better used in a foot. Should you stitch from the right side of the fabric or the wrong side?
Unleash the possibilities of thread as you discover which to use in the sewing machine needle and which to use with a foot. You can relax when you know the proper techniques. Sew crooked or straight. It’s an adventure the easy way. Create a masterpiece of thread embellishment to showcase your work that can later become a wall hanging, portion of a garment or handbag.

Working with improv can be wonderfully freeing, yet the outcome can seem overwhelming to the senses. Choosing constraints at the outset of an improv project can not only lower the decision-making burden that can seem overwhelming, it can also ensure your composition finishes with dramatic flair.
In this class, you will explore several different variations of improv triangles, and experiment with variables that will alter the look of each variation. You will then incorporate these blocks into a large wedge layout to make a 24" square quilt top that can be finished as either a wall hanging or throw pillow cover. This class is appropriate for intermediate quilters or confident beginning quilters with a willingness to explore.
