Inset Circles & Oval Shapes
3-Hour Workshop
12 pm - 3 pm EDT, Thursday, June 25
In this 3 hour workshop, students will learn how to sew inset circles and oval shapes with their sewing machine! All shapes are sewn in and not appliquéd, everything is sewn by machine, no hand sewing. Lisa Hofmann-Maurer will show you different ways to use her technique by overlapping shapes or setting a circular shape into another. Students will learn how to inset any round shape and are able to use this skill in their future quilt designs. With the knowledge from this class, you will be able to sew almost any shape in a quilt design without fear.
All Levels
Students to Provide
Fabric requirements for the Inset Circles & Oval Shapes Workshop: It’s very difficult to give exact fabric amounts and measurements when everyone comes up with their own design. A good selection of different fabrics is very helpful; you might want to use a mix of prints and solids. You can use scraps or fat quarters from your stash in coordinating colors for accents and contrast. We will only use a small amount of fabric in the class, and the final amount needed will depend on the quilt top you want to make. The background fabric is the biggest piece you’ll need and should measure at least 20 x 20 inches. As we’ll work on two different designs, please bring two pieces of background quilting cotton fabric. Please also bring at least 10 pieces of larger quilting cotton fabric scraps (at least 8 x 8 inches) and smaller quilting cotton fabric scraps in many colors (at least 5 x 5 inches). In this course, we will not complete a project. If you want to, you can complete your project later at home by practicing what you have learned in class.

-Sewing Machine
