Join Pauline for a one day hands-on class featuring her Quilting Is Sew Simple (QISS) System!

Perfect for seasoned quilters and complete beginners, this class is for anyone who has felt intimidated by quilting or struggled to get results. You'll learn a simpler, more enjoyable method of quilting one block at a time - no free-motion skills required.
Pauline will teach you her unique 'Controlled Quilting' technique to create a range of designs that you can quilt on your domestic machine. You’ll learn to quilt with even stitches and perfect control, giving you the skills to achieve a beautiful, professional-looking finish on every block.

Come and experience a fun, supportive atmosphere where quilting is made simple and enjoyable!

Machines will be supplied for the day.

Please note: Some preparation work is required before class, and while you won’t leave with a finished project, you will create valuable samples to guide your future quilting.

Pre-Class Instructions

Please complete the preparation below before class to ensure you can successfully complete all the steps within the class timeframe. Note: Using Hobbs Double Sided Fusible Batting is essential for achieving the best results. I cannot guarantee you will get the same outcome from other batting.
Cut fabric for your blocks:
• From plain cream or white fabric cut 2: 12 ½” x 15 ½”

o This is for the top of the blocks to allow your quilting designs to stand out
• From all over printed fabric cut 2: 12 ½” x 15 ½”
o This is for the back of the blocks, so choose a busy print that isn’t directional
• From Hobbs Heirloom Double Sided Fusible Batting cut 2: 12 ½” x 15 ½” (this batting is essential)

Sandwich the three layers together for your blocks as follows:
• Lay the backing pieces out onto the ironing surface with the wrong side up
• Lay the batting onto the backing pieces
• Lay the white/cream fabric on top of the batting with the right side up
• Use a hot dry iron and with a slow steady movement press till the batting sticks to the top fabric. Turn the block over and repeat till the backing sticks to the batting.
Note: If the fabric appears to be a bit wrinkled, please don’t be concerned as this will not quilt into the blocks, it is just what happens when pressing.
• Please keep these blocks flat to bring to the class.
See you at the class, Pauline
