News from Allison Wilbur: Machine Quilting Retreat

Machine Quilting Retreat with Allison Wilbur

August 16 - 18
Allison Wilbur Quilts and Meraki Stitch Studio
30 Cutler Street, Studio 101A & B, Warren RI 

Take your machine quilting to the next level! This three day retreat will give you the skills, techniques and design ideas to confidently quilt complex motifs on your home sewing machine. Learn to respond to tension problems under the guidance of an experienced teacher. Topics include materials (thread, batting, needles), machine set up, walking foot designs, meandering variations, feathers, machine trapunto, continuous curves, micro fill and design elements. Slide shows, videos and on-machine exercises help teach concepts in a variety of ways to solidify your understanding.  



Allison’s approach to quilting is based on the belief that quilting is half the creative processor making a quilt.  As a machine quilting teacher, longarm quilter, pattern designer, and art quilter, Allison helps quilters build a quilting “vocabulary” of designs and motifs that fit into a variety of quilts. To sign up or for more info, contact Allison Wilbur at allisonquilt@me.com. $285 fee includes 15 hours of instruction and 3 meals (Friday night dinner, lunch Saturday and Sunday). Fri, Aug 16 5:30 - 8:30, Sat & Sun, Aug 17 & 18, 9:00 - 5:00
