Walking Foot and Quilt as You Go for Beginners

Learn a new way to make larger quilted projects. Rana O'Connor will share her Quilt as You Go (QAYG) technique in this table runner class. 

The process of making this small home decor project will teach the basics of "quilting as you go". Finishing a large queen or king size quilt on your domestic sewing machine can be cumbersome. Rana will help us break it down into small bite size pieces that are far easier to maneuver through our machines,
