Classroom Preparation
Students will begin stitching right away, so provide enough power cords for all the students to plug in their machines. One student per table. This workshop requires pressing. At least two ironing stations and optional Teflon Pressing Sheets. They will be pressing over top of batting and backing.
Class Outline
- For every 5” square of fabric a preprinted appliqué piece is needed on page 22
- You can have half the class prepare the backing and batting first and the second half start stitching the clam shells.
