SUMMARY:Melissa Marginet joins Royal City Quilters Guild for Custom Edge-to-Edge Walking Foot Quilting Workshop

Visit https://rcqg.square.site/ to sign up. \nVirtual Workshop Description\nDo you dislike burying threads? By quilting from edge to edge you will not have to bury any threads (unless your bobbin runs out or your thread breaks). But just because you are quilting from edge to edge\, doesn’t mean you are limited to a boring quilt design or following the same pattern throughout the quilt. Join me in this class where you will be quilting a simple pixel quilt by using my Custom Edge to Edge Walking Foot Quilting technique. (Note: You will be required to make the quilt top prior to class. Instructions will be provided upon registration.) ​– Based on my book\, Edge-to-Edge Walking Foot Quilting Designs which is required for the class. \nSkill level: All levels \nInstructor Bio\nMelissa is a Canadian quilter\, author\, designer\, and teacher. She is an avid quilter whose passion is to teach and inspire other quilters. She is known for quilting with a walking foot. Melissa teaches her techniques and empowers quilters to quilt their own quilts on their home sewing machines.
