Top 10 Best Patchwork classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

Successful patchworking and quilting is part knowing what to do, and part practice. Come along as and when you have a question, need help, want some time out to actually get some patchworking done, or want to have a go at a new technique. Each session will have a demonstration at the beginning and then you can practice that technique or seek help with your own project as needed. The club will run on Tuesday afternoons during term time. We welcome those who already have basic patchwork knowledge and have mastered some blocks but are having specific problems or want to progress and learn how to become more accurate, or some tips and tricks to get things done with less effort. Perhaps you've seen something you'd like to have a go at but are not sure what technique is used. Come along! We run small group classes with a maximum of 6 students so you can get the most out of our expert tuition, and a sewing machine to yourself. Topics may include Half Square Triangles Other triangles curved piecing (orange peel, drunkards path) Improvised piecing (straight lines) Free motion quilting (meander and pebbles) Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) beginner Improvised piecing (curves) English Paper Piecing (EPP) Using Patchwork templates and specialised rulers Walking Foot quilting with guidelines Strip Piecing If you haven't quilted before you might be interested in our 4 week How to Quilt course which covers all the basics and results in your very own small quilt.
