Enjoy one-to-one instruction at a pace that works for you.

What you can work on

• Understand a quilting pattern and plan your next steps.
• Practice measuring, cutting, piecing, and pressing.
• Build confidence joining fabric pieces into quilt blocks.
• Get guidance on your current project, from preparing the layers to quilting and binding.

Your lesson will focus on skills suited to your experience and project. A quilt usually takes several sessions and practice between lessons; you do not need to finish a whole quilt in one class.

Your machine and materials

If you own a sewing machine, use your own so you can learn its features and feel comfortable practicing between lessons. If you need a machine, let Melanie know in advance so arrangements can be confirmed.

Materials for small projects are included in your first two lessons. After that, provide your own materials or pay a small fee for materials supplied by Melanie. Discuss your quilting project and supply needs before your lesson; small-project materials do not mean a complete quilt kit is included.
