What to Expect
\n \nThis is a tac tile\, machine-based workshop focused on simultane ously joining fabric and batting layers. The class format allows you to interact directly with the m aterial\, with opportunities to line up pre-cut fa bric strips\, manage fabric tension under the pres ser foot\, and sew straight guide lines. You will also practice aligning and attached double-fold bi as tape to seal raw edges for a crisp perimeter. B y the end of class\, you will have a completed pla cemat to take home for future reference.
