• Workshop Description • Supply List • Room Requirements • Top •

Workshop Summary

“Applipiecing” is a simple direct method for joining curved templates, which Caryl developed in 1989 to join the complex curves in her award winning quilts. In this class you will learn to draw and mark your own pattern and piece the most complex interlocking curves quickly and easily. You will make a small sample to learn the techniques.

.Supplies you need to bring

FABRIC

Solid colors will work best for the small sample you will make in the class. If you bring prints, be sure they are small, low contrast prints. Fabric must be 100% cotton

Thread:
- Clear and smoke colored Monofilament (nylon is OK, but polyester (Superior Mono-Poly or Sulky "invisible") is recommended)
