Class Schedule

Join us in our spacious and well-lit classroom for some wonderful conversation and friendship while you learn or improve your quilting skills!

We are pleased to announce that you can now register on-line for our classes! Of course, we still accept phone registration - and any questions you may have! - at 610-689-0068.

Supply lists will be sent via email or US Postal Mail a few weeks before your class if you are not able to pick them up at the store.

Class Registration and Information:

Checks should be made payable to the instructor unless otherwise noted. Class fee is due upon registration and is for class instruction only - supplies and patterns are extra unless so stated. A supply list (if applicable) will be available when you sign up and pay for your class. Hinkletown Sewing has graciously loaned us some classroom Berninas for your convenience. If you are interested in using one of our classroom machines, please let us know when you register so we can reserve one for you.

If you cancel your class 8 or more days prior to the beginning of class, a refund will be given. Any cancellations within 7 days of the class are non-refundable unless the class is cancelled due to weather conditions or poor enrollment.

Classes begin at the scheduled time. Please arrive 15 minutes early to give yourself enough time to set up for class. In fairness to fellow classmates, please do not ask the instructor to "catch you up" during class time if you arrive late or miss a class. We also ask you to refrain from wearing perfume on your class day as many people are sensitive to fragrances. Thank you!

We look forward to having you join us for a fun day of learning and friendship!!

Introduction to Machine Quilting

By Linda Hall

 

Introduction to Machine Quilting

 

Are you a quilter with projects that need to be quilted but don’t have the time to quilt by hand?  Do you want to finish your quilts but don’t know how? Well, bring a sample to class and learn how to put your quilt layers together and quilt it with your sewing machine in no time. 

The class is designed to teach you how to prepare your quilt top, mark it, and machine quilt it using two different methods – straight stitch and free-motion quilting.  You will need to bring your own sewing machine fitted with a walking foot and a free-motion foot for quilting.  A supply list will be sent to you in time for the first day of class.

You must have some quilting experience and be able to operate your own sewing machine.

Machine Quilting – Next Step

 

This is the second machine quilting class which is a further development or continuation of the first session.  We will learn more ornate and delicate machine quilting patterns as well as using specialty threads, bobbin adjustments, types of sewing machine needles, etc.  For those of you who would like to move beyond stippling to more interesting quilted backgrounds, this is the class for you.  A supply list will be sent before the first class session.  You must have some machine quilting experience and be ready for more interesting designs.

Try your hand at machine needlefelting, using the Bernina Punch Needle tool provided by Hinkletown Sewing Machine Shop in Ephrata, PA.  Using wool roving to color with, we will be “painting” wool skyscapes onto flannel, and then assembling them into a quilted background to frame them and set them off. Needlefelting Kit - $12 kit includes wool roving; 1 hand felting needle.  Call if you need to reserve a needlfelting attachment and machine.  If you already own a needlfelting machine, bring it to class.
