Gaps in Quilting Ed
About Carol Wilhoit
During forty years of making quilts and being part of the quilting community, I’ve learned much about quilting. However, many techniques that I use constantly are rarely discussed, and I almost missed learning about them. Fill some gaps in your education with the most valuable information that I almost failed to learn about thread, fabric, piecing, batting and machine quilting.

Walking Foot Workshop
The walking foot does far more than stitching in the ditch! Walking foot quilting can be an easy and attractive way to quilt your own quilts and other projects such as runners and totes. In this class, you will learn creative ways to use your walking foot for quilting. The class will include straight line quilting, stitching in the ditch, how to stitch straight lines without marking your quilt, quilting with curved lines, spiral quilting, quilting with special stitches on your machine, and quilting curved designs using easy-to-make templates. Since the way you prepare for quilting makes a difference in the results, the class also covers needles, thread, batting, marking and basting your quilt, and setting up your machine.
