The Kackling Kousins are offering the Machine Quilting with Rulers class again at Hoovers on Tuesday, June 18, 2024. If you have a desire to learn ruler quilting, this class is definitely for you. The Kousins will provide several rulers for you to test drive this quilting technique. According to Amanda Murphy, "ruler quilting is free motion quilting with training wheels." You will first learn to use the rulers in conjunction with your sewing machine. After this touch is mastered, you are well on your way to endless creative custom quilting.
If you are quilting on your home sewing machine or your longarm, using rulers can help you get very consistent with lines and shapes. Students come to class with a simple quilt block already sewn. The block will be used to practice using the rulers. It is extremely important to learn these techniques on a quilt block that actually has seams and ditches. Discussion topics will include: supplies, samples, use of a straight edge ruler to complete all of the in-the-ditch quilting, and use of a various curved rulers to create some fun designs to complete the block. A demonstration will also be provided on how to do a faux-pipe binding.
To register for this class, you can call Hoover's Bernina at 570-966-0122 or visit the shop at 2282 Beaver Road, Mifflinburg, PA 17844. Make sure you ask for the supply list, which includes the directions for the sample block you need for class.
