How to Ruin a Quilt Class!
I've been fortunate enough to be working with Mark Lipinski and his Quilter's Home Magazine.  I've written articles about publishing, how to handle those who aren't very educated in the world of quilts, and up next, an article of quilt teachers to avoid.  Mark was sweet enough to let me post one of my favorite articles here on my website!
To save this article to your computer, right click on the link above and choose "Save Target As".  Or you can just click and print!  I hope you enjoy it.  Be sure to pick up a copy of Quilter's Home Magazine.  It's the hottest new publication out there!
NEW CLASS!  Bobbinpalooza!
Why agonize over those breaking needles and shredded threads that you’ve bought for machine quilting put them in the bobbin when you can simply flip over the quilt and quilt it up-side-down?  In this class, we will problem solve your way through a multitude of decorative threads and yarns (yes, we do LOTS of couching!)  We’ll first try different tips and tricks I’ve acquired over the years to put the threads through the top; if that doesn’t work, we’ll bobbin-quilt it!  Get familiar with your machine and adjusting both top and bottom tension while learning all those cool quilting patterns that don’t need marking.  Other things we explore – free motion zigzag and a bit of fusible appliqué!  This is information packed class!  We’ll also create a great wall hanging of threads and yarns to practice our new surface embellishment skills!

I took some time to add all my favorite notions and threads (YLI Candlelight just to name one!) plus some other things that are super-popular (like the NEW Talking Quilt Squares!) to the site. Take advantage of the $ 2.50 flat shipping fee (US only) and our low low prices to stock up on the stuff that you just can't live without!
