Cutting Machine Appliqué and English Paper Piecing:
A two-day workshop
Meghan Gerety
Registration opens August 13. For non-members September 27.
Have you got a domestic cutting machine but haven't really put it to use for quilting? Let's make that cutting machine (Cricut, Silhouette, Brother ScanNCut or other) work for you!
If you don't have a cutting machine and are thinking of buying one, you can still participate. Both a Cricut and Brother ScanNCut will be available during the class for use. Or, if you have a friend who is attending - Share the machine!
Cut your pieces for applique and English Paper Piecing in a fraction of the time. At the end of the workshop, you will have all the pieces you need to create a small masterpiece.
Work on an appliqué project or an English Paper Piecing project.
You will learn to:
· Download applique shapes for your cutting machine.
· Understand how to create shapes for your machine.
· Cut fabric and templates (freezer paper, soluble stabilizer, cardboard or your favorite template material) for use in appliqué.
· Cut your own English paper piecing templates.
· Cut fabric with seam allowance for turned edge applique, raw edge applique, or English paper piecing.
If you bring a flash/thumb drive, you will receive:
· Cutting (*.svg) files for two hexagonal blocks. With her permission, we will use two blocks from Becky Goldsmith’s (Piece O’Cake) pattern Hexie Garden©. I will supply the cutting files (*.svg files) for two of the blocks.
