Machine Quilting
Description: Are you one of the many quilters who do not know how to finish off their quilt tops? Our online class will provide you with the answers on how to beautifully finish them off with machine quilting. This class teaches you about suitable batting and thread to use as well as the importance of layering and how to do it correctly.
