Beginner Quilting

Service Description

At Hollis Threads, we know that making a quilt can seem like a daunting task. That's why we've created our "Let's Make a Quilt" class. In just three class sessions, we'll teach you how to make a beautiful quilt from start to finish using the Villa Rosa Designs Biscotti pattern. Class one focuses on making the quilt top, class two covers quilt sandwiching and basic quilting, and class three is all about finishing touches. Whether you're a beginner or just looking to increase your confidence, we've got you covered. Join us at Hollis Threads and let's make a quilt together.
