  QUILT AS YOU GO WORKSHOP

  Have you ever wished you could easily finish a large quilt on your domestic sewing machine without needing a long arm machine? If so, this is the class for you! Learn how to connect your individual quilt blocks after you have pieced, sandwiched and quilted them with no more than one row of blocks in the throat space of your sewing machine.  

  Two methods will be taught, one with sashing between the blocks on the front and back of your quilt and one with sashing on either the front or the back. Attendees will have an opportunity to try both techniques. Pre-work will be required.

  Registration for McLean chapter members will open on March 9th at 9:00 a.m. and for all QU members on March 30th at 9:00 a.m.

  Cancellation Deadline: April 11, 2026. No refunds after that date unless slot is filled from the  waitlist.
