March 27th class: What do all these stitches do?
The majority of quilters use a sewing machine that can make more than just a straight stitch or zigzag stitch. But not only have they never used these stitches; they don’t know how these stitches can be used for quilting. Students need to bring their owner’s manual for their sewing machine to class. **If you can’t locate/find the manual that came with your machine you can go online and download a manual for the vast majority of machines, regardless of the age of the machine.
