MOCK MOLA "APPLIQUE":  Raw Edge Reverse Applique by Machine

WORKSHOP CLASS by Cathy Miller - Wednesday, September 27, 2023

6 hour class.  Class limit: 20 students.

This class features Cathy’s fast and easy technique for reverse appliqué.  It is a great way to use “holy” fabric, that you can’t bear to cut up, and wonderful for trying new design ideas. Students will learn this technique by working on a small individual project using two layers of fabric, plus batting and backing.  With Cathy’s help, each student will design her/his 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 class.  This is a hugely popular workshop!

Machine appliqué. Some free motion experience is helpful but not required. Cathy can adapt designs to suit all capabilities.  Written instructions and design suggestions will be supplied.
