Join us for an exciting 12-month journey to create the stunning Stitcher's Garden Quilt, all while mastering a variety of sewing machine feet! This block-of-the-month class is a fantastic way to explore the full potential of your sewing machine.

Each month, your instructor, Kelley, will demonstrate a new machine foot and a unique technique to create a beautiful decorative stitch block. The class fee covers instruction and pattern only. You can either purchase our curated fabric kit to create a quilt similar to the one shown, or you can bring fabric from your own stash and supplement it with our lovely selection in the shop.

You'll have so much fun learning and creating that you'll be amazed at all your machine can do. A full list of the machine feet you'll be using is provided below, and all feet for Baby Lock and Brother machines are available for purchase in-store (order ahead).  Finished Quilt measures 85" x 93"
