Multiply 3: Patchwork & Quiltmaking - Introduction
Through hands-on teaching and demonstrations, you will be guided through some basic patchwork and quilting skills.

You will learn how to cut patchwork pieces using a rotary cutter, a self-healing cutting mat and patchwork rulers, and then you will learn some basic but effective quilting skills.

If you have never used a sewing machine before, don’t worry, as you will be supported throughout the course to gain both skills and confidence in machine sewing.

By the end of the 5-week course, we hope that all learners will have made a simple patchwork and quilted project, such as a cushion or table mat.

Alongside learning new skills, you will also be able to take part in friendly group discussions and share ideas in a relaxed, supportive and fun environment.

This course is suitable for those at the beginning of their patchwork journey or those wanting to improve their skills in a friendly and supportive environment.

The course is funded by the Multiply project which means it is only eligible for people who don’t have a Level 2 maths qualification/GCSE grade C/4 or above.

This course provides skills for self-improvement, which could also lead onto further sewing courses, and the start of a pathway towards becoming a self-employed patchwork and quilting artist.

On the first night, please bring along a notebook and pen(s).

During the course you will be using a rotary cutter, self-healing cutting boards and patchwork rulers to help you make your patchwork pieces. These will be provided for learners to use whilst attending the sessions.

However, if you would prefer to buy your own and/or use equipment at home, the approximate cost for these items if bought new is around £20.00. Please wait until after the first session to buy these so that you can discuss this with the tutor first.

The tutor will use scrap fabric from her collection to demonstrate, and this will also allow for discussion about colour and fabric choices. We have a sustainability ethos and the using up of scrap fabric and recycling fabric is very much encouraged.
