Bust Your Stash With Creative Grids
Join us for an action packed "Play before you Pay Creative Grids event. All rulers and fabrics are provided so you can make four to five different blocks-and learn additional techniques-in a fun and easy class.
Create blocks that include fudge factors so beginners to experts can sew them in a matter of minutes. Make perfect "Flying Geese" blocks by trimming them AFTER you sew the bias edges. Sew "Cat's In The Cradle" bloccks without ever cutting a triangle. Cut charm squares at an angle and trim them after sewing so every block is the exact same size. Bonus? The angled seams never have to match! Then piece a "Scrap Crazy" block in a matter of minutes and see how this is the perfect place to showcase all those decorative stitches on your machine! If time allows, make half-square triangles from 10" squares and turn them into a "Delectable Mountains" block or make a quick piano key border. Along the way, learn tips and tricks for rotary cutting. After all, don't we all want to reduce cutting time and have more time to sew?
Featured Creative Grids Rulers:
Ultimate Flying Geese Tool
Cat's Cradle Tool
Straight Out of Line Tool
Scrap Crazy 6
10" Square
2 1/2" x 1/2" Rectangle
Bring a sewing machine with a 1/4" foot and neutral thread. Since you will be only sewing short seams, sharing a machine with a friend is not a problem. Mats, rulers, rotary cutters, pencils and fabric kits are provided at the demo stations. You may bring a small mat, rotary cutter, and iron to use at your machine.
