This class will teach the basics of hand quilting from the beginning, focusing on but not limited to: fabrics, needles, quilting threads, marking pencils, templates, patterns to trace, basting, batting, backing, frames vs hoops and more.
If you can thread a needle, you can hand quilt! (If you can't I will teach you!)

Catherine has been crafting for many years and will pass on her experience of using needle felting techniques to produce a personalised greeting card.

Learning Techniques 6
Tutor: Tootie MacKenzie
Location: West Church Hall
Day: Sunday 13th March 2022
Time: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Cost: £35.00
Skills required: Suitable for beginners
Tooty MacKenzie is an all-round crafter but has focused on knitting since taking over Travelling Yarns with her sister, Frieda Matheson, a few years ago. Though Tooty lives in Inverness she is a regular visitor to Inverasdale, near Poolewe, where Travelling Yarns is based. Travelling Yarns can be found in the Social Club and stocks a wide range of yarn, knitting supplies (including Jamiesons of Shetland) and sock yarn.
In this class you will learn how to knit a trainer/ankle sock in cotton/polyamide. You will be using circular needles, rather than the usual double pointed needles, and because it is a short sock you will quickly get to turn the heel! You will also learn to knit with elastic to create a snug rib.
Materials supplied include a ball of Regia cotton/polyamide yarn, knitting elastic and 2 buttons.
Please bring stitch markers, tape measure, scissors and 2 sets of 3mm x 40cm circular needles (available to purchase on the day if necessary)
