Description
Welcome to the Ruler Work Linen Tote Class (6.5 Hours + KIt, just bring you and your machine)
Ruler work is one of the hottest quilting techniques out there and is especially wonderful for those who find free-motion quilting a challenge.
What you'll learn:
We are going to spend the day experimenting with rulers as we quilt one of the most difficult designs, a detailed medallion, and then transform the linen panel into a fashionable tote bag. We are also going to review different ruler shapes and how to quilt with them including concentric circles and ovals, clam shells, orange peel, and borders. By the end of this class you will have a better idea on how and where to use the different motifs for your quilt blocks. Open to all ruler shapes and machine brands.
