Hand Quilting is an art and skill that goes back centuries and possibly 1000's of years. American quilters hand stitched everything until the mid 1800's, when sewing machines started to become available. This class will teach you about the history of Hand Quilting - the stitches that hold the 3 layers of fabrics together - AND you will learn the relaxing stitching techniques that create the beautiful textures and visual patterns that adorn the piecing and make a quilt usable, washable, and ready to last for many years. Big Stitch quilting is a variation that will be taught during this class as well.
