Learn to Stitch with Reckless Abandon a Retreat
A retreat is a time of refreshment, direction, and renewal. A time to grow, explore, and discover more of who we are as quilt makers. The retreat can be directed making a quilt in my style (Shine Your Light, Twilight in the Bronx, or Moon Over Manhattan) or something you’ve wanted to work on in a focused way. A focus on thread, batting, and color; how they work together to create, and You develop our own personal style in a quilt.

Workshops:

Beginner Free Motion Machine Quilting
You can free-motion quilting on your home sewing machine. It’s easy when you know the tricks and tips that the “pros” use. We will learn to pair thread weight and needle size, when to adjust tension, and how shoving a queen size quilt into a 6” harp. This class covers the basics: stitch in the ditch, thread burying, straight lines and curves, moving right through to feathers. Join the machine quilting club!
Full Day

Needles, Thread, & Tension

Pairing needles and thread well solves a lot of piecing and quilting and machine tension issues. We’ll cover needle types and sizes, and what to use when including chrome, titanium, and non-stick. We will cover thread weight and how to match with needle type. I’ll share what I use in the bobbin when quilting and how to adjust tension on our sewing machines.

Teri thank you so much for the wonderful class, I feel so lucky to have been in your class I can’t wait to put my five hundred hours in to be able to do a better job. I just loved the class and you – Sylvia

The Impractical Color Wheel

Beginner/Intermediate

A color wheel is one of the best tools we can use in quilting however it can feel a bit overwhelming so let’s break it down to the basics focusing on color neighborhoods (next-door, across the street). We will embrace the color we love, and learn how to use it well in our machine quilting. We will explore thread weight and the difference between open and dense stitching.

Full or Multi Day.
