Pressing Matters and the Cutting Edge
Struggling with using your rotary cutter to get accurate cuts, whether it is a garment pattern or quilt pieces? Rulers sliding as you cut? Not pressing correctly, or at all, so your finished garment or quilt top is a bit wonky? Having trouble reading the measurements on your rulers? In this class you will learn proper pressing (not ironing) techniques, for both quilting and garment construction, as well as the correct way to use your rotary cutter to accurately cut your fabric and not your person, or gouge your rulers. You will also learn how to read and identify the various markings on your rulers. Since rotary cutters can be dangerous, I will be extremely strict in this class; all my rules will be enforced, and all participants will be required to follow all of them, no exceptions.
Class starts at 10AM, so please arrive early to set up and be ready to start sewing at 10AM.
