Quilt Technique: Scrap Busting Quilt

Class Length: 3 hours
Number in Class: 6 
Entry Level: You will need to have completed one of our ‘Sewing Machine Basics’ courses or have similar experience with a machine.  This means you must be able to thread the machine on your own, wind a bobbin, and go forwards and backwards with straight stitch.
Materials: Not Included: Students will need to bring materials for this class. Please see materials list below.
Tutor: Jemma Dell

People often ask what they can do with fabric scraps. Whatever your sewing preference, we all end up with lots of scraps which are far too good to waste.
In this class you will learn 3 different techniques including machine piecing and machine paper piecing to turn scraps into useable blocks that could then be made into placemats, bags, cushions, entire quilts or more.  You will discover ways to use scraps of different sizes and shapes, from as small as 1 inch.
