Intro to Custom Quilting
3-Hour Workshop
10 am - 1 pm EDT, Friday, October 16
Some quilts call for more than standard edge-to-edge designs—they require thoughtful, customized quilting to truly bring them to life. In this class, Tia Curtis will guide students through the process of planning effective quilting paths and auditioning design options that enhance the unique character of each quilt.
Drawing on over two decades of professional experience, Tia shares insights gained from working on exceptional quilts for clients around the world. She will demonstrate how to use Procreate to sketch quilting designs directly onto quilt images, as well as techniques for achieving accurate scale using plexiglass tools.
Participants will explore a variety of background fills, ruler work within blocks and appliqué, and feather designs ideal for borders. By the end of the class, students will have a strong foundation in custom quilting principles and a portfolio of design ideas ready to apply to their own projects.
All Levels
Please note: Students will receive a PDF of the class handout (including quilting designs) by email. Please print it before coming to class.
