Whole-Cloth Techniques for the Statler Stitcher
Tammy Finkler-TK Quilting
This class is geared towards someone who is interested in utilizing
patterns that you already own or can purchase to create a whole-cloth
quilt with your Statler.  This is the method I used to make "Something
in Red".  The class will start with a trunk show and photos of
whole-cloth quilts and samples to give you some ideas. We will talk
about materials, batting, thread and supplies as well as choosing
patterns and designing a layout for your whole-cloth quilt.  We will
then go through the process of preparing the top, which involves a
small amount of marking.   A demo top will be shown during the class,
where we will touch on tips for borders, corners, blocks, etc in
PrecisionStitch.  We will also go over different background quilting
options such as diagonals and grids with the channel lock or record
sew path and freehand designs with the belts disconnected. You will
go home with a marked top to stitch on your own machine.  Supply list
for this class: A 42-45" square piece of muslin, blue marker or chalk
pencil and a straight edged ruler.  Check the
