Libby Lehman's Classes at Images 2008

Come explore the possibilities offered by decorative and utility stitches on today's incredible sewing machines. We will cover adjusting and combining stitches, satin stitching, foolproof anchoring, tapering, pivoting, free-motion styles, and double needle effects. Each student must have a modern zigzag sewing machine with the ability to adjust the width in increments. Libby says she is not a mechanic, so please come to class with a clean machine in good working order.

This workshop concentrates on exploring different machine stitching techniques to give your quilts an individual and unique flavor. In order to learn as many different styles as possible, students will develop samples rather than completing a class project. The following will be covered: sheer ribbon illusions, satin and decorative stitching, and potluck appliqué. Each student must have a zigzag sewing machine. Libby is not a mechanic, so please come to class with a clean machine in good working order.
