Are you a Quilter?
Credit: Patricia Smith
I have been a quilter since 1988 and, along the way, have learned so much from some of the best quilters in the country. I have also found some of the best products on the market to help with my accuracy and precision. I have taught classes in many skills, both in Saudi and here in Texas.
In my presentation, I want to help you achieve the best results. So much depends on our use of our tools and supplies so I will be demonstrating “a few of my favorite things.” They will include tools for cutting, piecing, pressing and, to me, the most important, THREAD and your machine.
Also, if you have any questions or problems, I will have a Q&A time. Everyone attending will receive a gift from me.
