No machine required! Instruction is presentation and drawing together, not hands on machines. Fast track your skill development so that every moment is well spent. Every movement counts toward better control, increased and accurate muscle memory! Develop intuition and consistency in shape/sizes of designs. You’ll learn several free motion designs with variations to suit different quilting styles and quilts. HOW you practice, is just as important as the practicing itself. Handouts will be provided. Sharon offers a recording at an additional fee of $15.00 for 1 class and $25.00 for both classes (if you also enroll in Beginner Quilting With Rulers), per person. Unlimited re-plays, no expiry. You MUST be enrolled in a class or both classes to purchase the class recordings. Scroll down past the class descriptions to purchase the recordings.
