A-419 Absolute Beginners Quilting Boot Camp (SU26) (August 10, 2026)

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Registration deadline: August 3
Ages 16+

We will cover the entire process of making and finishing a pre-designed table topper or small wall quilt, from fabric selection through to the last stitch of the binding. If you’ve wanted to learn to quilt, or you’ve been quilting but are unsure of your skills, this is a chance to get up and running or hone those skills. Bring a sewing machine in good working order which can be left at the art center for the duration of the class. Materials list below.

Instructor: Stacy Koehler

Dates: Monday through Friday, 8/10 - 8/14 (5 sessions)
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Materials List
Students will be responsible for:

6 fabrics (1/2 yard each of 5, a full yard of one)
A small amount of some scrap fabric, ½ yard or less
Fabric scissors
A 45 mm rotary cutter (Don't buy a new one if you have another size.)
A new blade for your rotary cutter
A 6 x 24 inch acrylic ruler made for use with rotary cutting
Seam ripper. If you have your great aunt Tillie’s, buy a new one
A spool of light to medium grey thread
Straight pins
If you have a rotary cutting mat, bring it. If not, some will be provided. Don’t put out the money for one until you know you want to keep quilting.
Very Important! A sewing machine in good working order. What that means:

- You’ve gotten it out, set it up and have sewn on it for 10 minutes sometime in the last 6 months. You do not want to find out that it doesn’t run well when you get to class.
- You have cleaned it and oiled it in the week before class.
- It has a new needle and you bring extra needles to class.
- If you have an open toes foot and a walking foot, bring them to class. If you have feet, but don’t know what they are, bring them to class and maybe we can figure it out. The feet are nice to have, but are not required.
- You have your machine’s manual. Bring it with you, or have a link to its on-line manual on your phone.

We will have a zoom meeting at least 2 weeks before class to answer any questions and give you some ideas for fabrics, if you need to buy them. Do your best to come to the meeting.
