Improv: By Hand and Machine


  • Asilomar Conference Grounds 800 Asilomar Avenue Pacific Grove, CA, 93950 United States (map)

Intuition and convenience will lead the way as we create improvisational quilt tops together! Receive video instruction from Heidi before class, to learn the basic techniques of visible hand piecing and her unique approach to machine piecing. Then, we’ll explore shape, color, and visual movement as we hone our compositions in class. Work with a wholecloth base or piece your top. You decide how much hand and/or machine is right for you in class. Heidi will guide you in prioritizing a timeline and making strategic choices to balance speed and joyfulness in the sewing process.
