Introduction to Machine Piecing *
Dana Brabson
This basic class introduces you to machine piecing techniques and gives you the experience you need to take any other Quilt Works class. You make a different block in each of the first 4 classes, and then quilt and bind a placemat in the 5th class. The placemats, show here, are 18” × 12”. If you choose to create a table runner with the 4 blocks, it is 63” × 18”. A wall hanging with the 4 blocks finishes at 33” × 33”, and can be used as a nice table topper. The “Let’s Get Started” class, or equivalent experience, is a prerequisite for this class.
