Current Classes at Pacific Fabrics

Are you curious about Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) but unsure where to start? This class will help you gain the confidence to drop your feed dogs and let your creativity flow. You will learn several different styles of free motion quilting ranging from the meander to using templates to create unique shapes like stars or teddy bears.

Everyone needs a basic tee in their wardrobe and there?s nothing better when you?ve made it yourself to fit exactly how you like it. Unfortunately, knits have gotten a bad reputation for being difficult to work with or needing special equipment ? not true. We will go over how to make a t-shirt on the sewing machine, learning how to read and follow a pattern along the way. We will all cover sizing, adjusting the pattern if needed, plus tips and tricks to make working with knits easier. This class teaches similar skills as our Knits 201: Sweatshirt/Tee class however instead of a raglan sleeve, the patterns feature a traditional set in or drop sleeve and is meant specifically for T-shirt weight fabrics.

Are you working on a project only to find yourself struggling and thinking there must be an easier way? Maybe you want some reassurance that you?re headed in the right direction. (We?ve all been there.) We will have an experienced teacher available to answer your questions and demonstrate what you need to do to successfully complete your project. Plus you can use our Bernina sewing machines, huge cutting table and basic sewing supplies. Prerequisite: Sewing 101 or equivalent experience.
