Join Kathy, from The Balcony Quilt Studio, for 2 no stress sessions to learn the essential methods involved in foundation paper piecing. We will discuss the pros and cons of different types of paper and of the “rip-less” and “sew through” approaches. We will be working with the Glacial Snowfall pattern by the Balcony Quilt Studio. The 3 different sections of the design gradually increase in complexity to ease you into the process. We’ll finish up the second session with some brainstorming about how to quilt your runner when the piecing is complete.
