Bonus Classes
If you grab the course now, you'll also get 2 fabulous bonus classes! These bonuses are only available for a limited time.
Bonus: Applique Couching
Learn how to finish the edges of your applique piece by couching yarn! I have 2 ways to do this that are way simpler to do than they look (both done using your machine) and adds such lovely texture and interest to your quilt. This is such a fun technique!
Bonus: Faux Needle-Turn Applique
Learn how to get the same sweet and classic look of needle-turn applique, with all of your edges turned under, but done lightning fast and all on your machine! It’s a simple and fun technique that gives a really pretty effect.
