Friday May 7 half day workshop
MOCK MOLA APPLIQUÉ: RAW EDGE MACHINE REVERSE APPLIQUÉ
This is a great way to use "holy" fabric, that you can't bear to cut up. Students will learn this technique by working
on a small individual project using two layers of fabric, plus batting and backing. With Cathy Miller's help, each
student will design their own piece. Machine quilting will attach all the layers together, then the top layer is cut to
reveal the design. The pieces will be mostly completed at the end of the three hour class. This is a hugely popular
class!
Written instructions and design suggestions will be supplied.
