Summary

The Patchwork and Quilting Stage 2 Sewing Course is designed for students who have completed Patchwork and Quilting Stage 1. As this is stage 2, students will already have the fundamental skills, meaning they are ready to move on to more complicated techniques.

Insetting seams to attach hexagons together, stitching on a curve, reverse appliqué and creating textures are all covered as well as paper piecing techniques such as the Pineapple Quilt Block, Log Cabin, how to bind a quilt and three or four other new techniques.

Students on this course often ask Joy for advice on larger projects and some even make a lap quilt!
