They were allowed to use whatever else materials they wanted, but the Volcano Print needed to be a focus. Help us decide which of these projects should win the challenge!

We’re happy to have Annette Juilly coming to our Hilo store this July and August to lead some interesting classes on garment construction!

Here’s a bit about Annette:

Fashion Design has been in Annette Juilly’s life from a young age. Her grandmother was a
Fashion and Jewelry Designer who came from Oahu to California in her teens. Annette spent a
lot of time with her Grandmother growing up. Her grandmother brought her Aloha with her to
California, as well as her love of colors, design and people.

Quilters: LEARN HOW TO ATTACH PERFECT  BINDINGS.

Teacher Viv Smith

Cost: $20 & all inclusive kit $15

If you wish to learn how to bind your quilts, table runners or oven pads with perfect bindings, this is the class for you.

This is a hands on workshop, with all sandwiches, binding fabrics and written instructions provided to maximize your learning time.

1)     Learn to start, attach and finish perfectly, a double fold French mitered binding to a quilt sandwich.  We not only apply it to 90° corners, but other angles as well.

2)      Learn to attach different binding widths from 2 ¼” to 6” wide.

3)      Learn to finish your binding with both the hand stitching technique and the quicker machine walking foot technique.

4)     Learn how to add a narrow phalange to the edge of a quilt, before binding, to add some sparkle.

Supply list:      Sewing machine with additional walking foot. (Unless you are booking a DFW machine.)      Bring a few basic colored machine spools of threads.      Hand sewing machine needle, pins and scissors.

If you wish to use a store machine rather than bringing your own, please let us know when you register for the class.
