You may have heard of the quilt-as-you-sew technique, but did you know you can quilt as you serge as well? In this online class with Alicia Welcher, you will learn how to create a whimsical carrot table runner or wall hanging that you can use for your springtime decor.
Featured in the Spring 2017 issue of Classic Sewing magazine, this strip-pieced beauty teaches a quilt-as-you-serge technique that relies on layering—simply stack as directed, serge, unfold, and voila! You can even serge the binding in place. Use fusible thread in the lower looper, serge the binding, fold it to the back side to encase the seam allowance, and press. The fusible thread adheres to the back of your project making it easy to stitch the binding place without using a single pin.
This class is packed with Alicia’s helpful tips and tricks for success. Whether you make your carrot in traditional orange-and-green colors or a pretty combination of spring pastel prints, you are going to love making this carrot and all the great techniques you will learn along the way. Once complete, this versatile project lends a whimsical Easter look to your door, table, or wall. In addition to the video tutorial, an instructional PDF and carrot templates are included.
Video run time: One hour and 34 minutes. This start-anytime course is self-paced. You can begin the moment you register, viewing the course anytime that is convenient for you.
