About the Class
If you buy an applique pattern, the instructions might say “applique the pieces using the method of your choice”. What if you have never done applique, you don’t have a method of choice? This class is for you. The instructor, Cheryl Bridges, has done a lot of applique using many different methods. She is happy to share her experience with you. In class you will see demonstrations and examples of several different methods of applique. You will learn about fusible web, freezer paper, mono-filament thread, pressing sheets, template plastic and other tools of the trade. Cheryl will teach you with hands-on learning making circles in class so you are confident enough to keep going after class with any pattern. You will go home with product samples to try. Students are welcome to bring their own applique pattern or project with questions. A class outline will be provided with a pencil for taking notes. You will have access to beautiful patterns and kits she has personally designed in class.
