Sewing & Quilting classes

You can toss your plastic templates aside for good because you'll use your Split Rects tool instead. Learn how to make crisp, clean half rectangles. There are 8 different size options with the Split Rects tool. Your stars will twinkle with these strong points. Tucker University is a series of 12, monthly classes; 3 hours in length. Each class introduces the quilter to a Deb Tucker Studio 180 Design tool and all of the uses of that tool. Quilters will learn how to make fundamental quilt units with high precision and low stress! Our teacher, Carol Gibson-Weik, is a Certified Instructor for Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design. She enjoys teaching the benefits of the design tools and techniques. Her mission is to create a fun, educational, and relaxing environment for all levels of quilters.

Start at the beginning, learn how to rotary cut, piece with a ¼" seam, press, machine quilt and put the binding on. We will work on a small lap quilt. You will learn step by step, whether you have never sewn on a machine before, or have sewn but want to learn the proper method of quilting, this is the class for you. We have lots of fun and you will go home with a new skill every week.

Want to bring a little piece of the great outdoors inside? Join us for a raw-edged applique landscape class. We will be using June Jaeger’s “Creek’s Eye View” pattern to make a beautiful scenic mountain-view wall hanging. Purchasing a kit is strongly recommended as many different fabrics are used to construct the wall hanging.
