Creative Border Piecing
hosted by Joyce Walton
Learn how to machine piece an interesting, colorful quilt border with absolutely
no fabric waste. Perfect for beginner and seasoned quilters, this technique
class is great for using up your scraps, and for a quilt you may have started
and are stuck on how to border it. This concept could also be incorporated in
the body of a quilt and can be used over and
over again for future projects.
Supply List
• In addition to basic sewing supplies please bring:
• Sewing machine with 1/4” foot. Featherweights and small portables are fine. If
your machine has an acrylic extender table, bring it. Also an extension cord for
your machine will be helpful.
• Neutral color thread for machine piecing
• Scissors
• 6 1/2” square ruler, plus a larger ruler for cutting additional fabric
• Rotary cutter and mat
• Optional (but helpful) a portable iron and ironing
surface
• Bring assorted fabric of your choice. You can use
scraps or color coordinated fabric but be sure to
bring lights, mediums and darks. We will be
cutting 6 1/2” X 3 1/2” rectangles and 3 1/2”
squares from your fabric, so yardage is not
necessary. If you have a quilt that needs a border,
bring it as well, as I’d be happy to advise you on
the color scheme.
NO KIT FEE FOR THIS CLASS!
