Come to class with your fabric quilted, pieces cut to the correct sizes listed in the pattern, and edges sealed.

Fabric can be quilted on your domestic sewing machine, or long arm quilted by the shop for a cost of $25.00.

To seal your edges, sew 1/8” from the edges of all four sides of each piece. This compresses your seam allowance and will prevent fraying.

If you need any assistance before class, reach out to Charlene at 910.219.3305 or come in during Open Sew Friday for clarification.
