This class will involve adult/child learning activities to acquire basic skills and knowledge for fun sewing machine projects. You will learn to recognize different fabrics, sewing tools and identify parts of the machine and how it works. The classes will take you through troubleshooting, using the right tools and discussing shortcuts to develop a group block quilt blanket by completion of the course. Tools for the first class include sharp scissors, straight pins, small ruler or tape, seam ripper and a package of new sewing machine needles size 80/14-90/16 and embroidery needles (easier to thread). Discussion on fabrics will be held during the first class. Sewing machines, cutting board and iron will all be provided. The class fee is $85 for members and $90 for non-members for a child accompanied by an adult.
Beginning Watercolor Class with David Kiehm will be held on consecutive Sundays beginning March 4 and ending March 25 from 1-4pm each week.
