Intro to Improv Class

November 10th 9 am to 12 pm

At Roy R Estle Memorial Library

Class description:  Feeling stuck on where and how to start your first improv quilt? In this class we’ll cover the basics of ruler-free cutting, sewing without pins and building blocks. No matching of seams makes improv easy and liberating, making you confident in no time. 

We’ll cover: 

  • Half-square triangles
  • Quarter circle curves
  • Soft curves
  • Improv triangles

Skill level: must be able to consistently sew a quarter inch seam allowance, and have basic quilting knowledge (i.e. how to use a rotary cutter). 

Supplies: 

  • Sewing machine in good working order
  • Quarter inch foot
  • Basic sewing supplies
  • Extension cord
  • Rotary cutter
  • Cutting mat
  • Neutral thread
  • Ruler (I like a 2.5” x 12.5” and a larger one for squaring up blocks)
  • Fabric: 4-6 fat quarters or half yards in solids or near solids that work together in a variety of values and hues.
