In her class you will learn all the techniques she uses in these stunning quilts!

​

In this class you will learn Vicki’s technique for turned edge machine piecing using a choice of either a slot canyon pattern or a donkey pattern.

​

Vicki uses Floriani Stitch and Wash Fusible water-soluble tearaway stabilizer to construct the entire quilt. It gets soft and stays in the finished quilt. It is easy to sew through and gives lovely stability to the finished wall quilt. This is not applique but a clean turned edge machine piecing technique that can be used for bold landscapes and portraits.
