Technique Class

The technique classes are held during the normal meeting times for the Saturday group. There is generally no additional cost for these classes, as they are run by members for members.

March 2016 - Sewing Pottery Class


Requirements:
  • At least 1/4 metre of fabric. Must be width of fabric - not fat quarters.
  • Cotton to match for top and bobbin. Verigated cotton is very effective.
  • 100/16 machine needle.
  • Mat
  • Cutter
  • Sewing Machine
  • Pair of Tweezers 
  • Usual sewing requirements

If you have the small applique pins (you will only need a couple) - they are easier to use for this project - if not - I have plenty.

I have used Grunt Tracer rope 4mm size. This product is available from Bunnings. It is sold in 30 metre lots. You will need only 8 metres. I have a supply of this rope available at a small cost.
