Home Decor Week:
Welting Works Wonders
Use the quarter-inch piping feet in single and double versions to create and apply welting. This custom trim is a great seam or raw edge cover in upholstery and a decorative accent all on its own. We’ll make the welting so you are convinced it’s easy, then show you how to cleverly shape it into Celtic Knotwork curves to adorn a pillow or tote-bag front. [Beginners on up, requires accessory foot]
Let Us Gather Together
Join this class and learn lots of ways to create and apply gathers, a fundamental technique for many home dec projects. We will use both machine and serger to try techniques that suit different end uses. Optional project will be a pillow, or come just for learning. [Beginners on up]
Tab Top Curtains
Refresh your decor with this easy curtain technique that has variations to fit any room or style. Learn several methods of creating and fastening the tabs, plus an all-in-one valance option. Because of the size of real curtains and the class duration, we’ll be making only a “dummy” curtain, with different techniques, but you’ll have an example to take home and plan your own “extreme makeover.” [Beginners on up, automatic buttonhole capacity on machine is useful]
Needlework Project Finishing
Bet you’ve got a cross-stitch, needlepoint, crewel or other project you completed, and have been dreading assembling into the stocking, pillow or whatever. Or, maybe you want to do one, and would like to know the easiest way to get a neat finish to it. We’ll show you a sneaky trick for “pre-finishing” certain types of projects, and how to form others using piping or braid for crisp, sturdy edges. Bring your own needlework project, if you want, for specific help. [Intermediate, use of accessory feet/zipper feet necessary]
