We have kits in the store for you to purchase now. The cost of this is not part of the Class Fee. If you are doing Zoom, please call ahead to give us the time needed to mail this kit.
When you come to your class or you are attending via ZOOM - bring the following:
- 2 fat quarters fabric or more if you want more variety in your project
- snips
- scissors
- 3x12 ruler
- heavy book to weigh down your project
- rotary cutter
- cutting mat - Can be a smaller one - 12x18
Fabrics that you will want to avoid for this project are directional fabrics and fabrics that could bleed. If you are worried about bleeding, wash and dry your fabric first. Do not use Kona Fabrics either to get a successful outcome. Another fabric to avoid is a light colored = plain fabric. These fabrics tend to allow for a glue spot.
The store is providing your glue kit and table covering. You just need to come and be ready to have some fun!
We like having 4 students enrolled in the class to move forward but do make exceptions depending on the class. But come and join in. This is a great new way to use fabric and you don't need a machine.
When you arrive for your class, please be prepared to park on the east side of the building. If you are impaired, please know you can park on the front of the building towards the east end. If you must cancel your class after signup, please call the store and we will refund your fee in the form of a credit to your account.
