Pat Dicker’s “Dancing Sistas” class at New Pieces this past weekend was delightful. We’re pleased to announce that Pat will be teaching two classes in June . Unlike the “Sistas” class, Pat’s June classes deal with important (basic) technical skills for quilters — offered with Pat’s customary clarity and light touch.
On Sunday, June 5th, Pat will teach Binding Basics from 12:00 – 3:30pm. With her expert instruction and help you can (finally) master all the stages of making perfect bindings, including those pesky mitered corners.
After mastering the standard binding, Pat will show you other options like using a “facing” binding, and a super simple iron-on binding.
Binding is one of those things most of us really need to master. Why not now?
The picture at right is the back of a wall-hanging Pat Dicker made. It’s easier to see the free-motion quilting on the back, but it’s the same piece as the amazing wall-hanging below.
Introduction to Free Motion Quilting is your opportunity to begin to master this useful skill. Free-motion devotees see it as both a structural and artistic element on a quilt. It’s a skill that takes practice to master, but the better you are taught, the easier the practice will be. Saturday, June 11, 10-3:00pm.
