Workshop: Beginning Ruler Work with Nina Clotfelter
In this Beginner Class you will learn how to hold and work with Rulers on your domestic sewing machine. No worries-the quilted self-portrait is not what you will be doing in class! Nina will begin her instruction on how to prepare the Ruler and why this is important. You will work with a special ruler designed just for this class with 4 different shapes on it. By the end of the class, you will have successfully managed the RULER, have learned to think with a RULER and have created a block using the RULER. Ruler Work is a great way to enhance your Free Motion Quilting! This will open up a whole new world to you as a quilter!
