QT Club July 2019

We welcome you to share with us in discovering new fabric lines, sewing tools, notions and patterns.  Each club meeting will include demonstrations and lessons to build your sewing and quilting skills.  Tips and new methods are shared by participants.  A favorite at every club meeting is Show & Tell time.  You are encouraged to bring finished quilts, quilted projects, or works in progress to inspire the entire group.

This month we're offering a two-fer demo.  Michael will get to the point of needles (pun intended of course because, well, it's Michael) and Laurie Lou will introduce you to the Sew Straight by Quilt in a Day.

We've all had questions about sewing machine needles.  Is it really important which one we use and why?  What do the numbers mean? What's the difference between a "universal" and a "sharp"?  Find out the answers to these questions and more.

Also, if you'd like an efficient way to sew half square triangles, "snowball" a block, or join bias seams for binding, don't miss this!  Save time with Sew Straight by sewing unmarked diagonal lines in a jiffy! Sew perfect 1/4" seams! There are countless ways to use Sew Straight!

* No Key Needed
* Sewing on Unmarked Diagonal Line
* Sewing Miter
* Sewing Accurate 1/4" Seams
* Sewing Bias Seams for Binding
* Sewing Diagonal Lines for Pieced Squares

You may attend either the Thursday or the Saturday meeting as they cover the same content.  We offer both days each month to better accommodate those who have busy schedules.  Club meetings will be from 10 am to approximately noon.

The $5 membership fee includes:

• Freebies - from unique and handy quilting notions to your choice of a free fat quarter!
• In-store discounts - on fabrics, quilting rulers, patterns, etc.
• Informative updates on what's new in the quilting industry.
• Demonstrations by experienced quilters who are willing to answer your specific questions on quilt techniques, design, fabrics and your favorite sewing machines.
• A wonderful support base of friends who share your love of quilting.
• Refreshments to keep us comfortable as we share.

Each month we will meet on the third Thursday and the following Saturday, except for December.  In December we will meet on the first Thursday and the following Saturday, to not interfere with your holiday preparations and plans. 

You are welcome, but not required, to bring quilts, quilted projects or works in progress to share with the group for Show & Tell.
