About the event
Do you love the look of hand quilting, but you're short on time? Big Stitch Hand Quilting could be the solution you've been waiting for! This method allows you to quickly hand quilt your quilt tops and other projects, adding that special hand-stitched touch. You'll use a larger needle and a heavier thread or perle cotton to achieve beautiful stitches.
Come learn the necessary tips, techniques and supplies for this newly popular method of hand quilting, as well as traditional hand quilting.
