Wings of Love Spiral Heart
Half-Day Workshop
9 am - 12 pm, Friday, September 18
Spirals in quilts have an incredible “Wow!” factor, yet they are surprisingly easy to design and sew. In this class, you’ll learn how to draw and color spirals. Then, sew two spirals using my “painless paper piecing” technique to make this beautiful winged heart block.
All Levels
Required class kit, $20 payable to the instructor in class includes gradation fabric, pre-printed foundations & cutting templates, in-class materials, follow-up reusable pattern.

Students to Provide
Tools:
_____ Sewing machine (Set-up instructions below)
_____ Basic sewing tools: pins, scissors, etc.
_____ Scissors for paper
_____ Light or neutral colored thread for sewing
_____ 45mm rotary cutter with ruler and mat (preferably one that closes automatically)
_____ Fine-point permanent black pen
_____ Pencil and a fresh eraser
_____ Several sheets of white paper 8-1/2” x 11”
_____ Two highlighter pens in different colors (orange, pink or yellow)
_____ A full, new roll of double-sided scotch tape (permanent, not removable. Scotch Brand in the yellow/red box is best. Buy a fresh roll at an office supply store. Old tape breaks and cheap brands don’t stick well on fabric.)
_____ Masking or painter’s tape
_____ Add-a-Quarter tool with a card (available for purchase in class, $10)
_____ Seam roller (optional, but really helpful; available for purchase in class, $15)
_____ A gallon-size ziploc bag
Sewing Machine Set-up: Your machine should be ready to sew with a new 75/11 or 80/12 needle. Use a foot that allows you to clearly see lines on the foundation -- it should have a groove down the center or a centering mark. Please check your machine to make sure it is working properly before you bring it to class.
About Translucent Foundation Material:
Spirals are sewn using paper piecing, so they require a foundation material to which you sew the fabric. I insist on foundation material that is translucent, which means you can see through it. Since you can see through it, you put fabric on the front and sew from the back. This means that you don’t have to think in mirror-image like you have to do on an opaque foundation. (Traditional paper-piecers take note!) One brand is Fun-Dation.
For this workshop, foundations will be provided for you, preprinted on translucent foundation Sheets. If you wish to purchase additional printed sheets or packages of blank sheets, these will be available in class. Most quilt shops also have some version of it and you can purchase Fabulous Foundation Sheets through my online store at www.ranaemerrillquilts.com.
