Needleturn Appliqué for Beginners
Learn the fine art of hand needleturn appliqué step by step. If you’ve never done needleturn appliqué and are intimidated and afraid to try, this workshop is for you. Using my “Vase of Tulips” pattern, which has all the shapes and techniques beginners need to learn, we will cover making a positioning overlay; marking and pinning; concave curves and points; convex curves and points; bias stems; small and medium circles; and straight lines.
Class price includes the pattern.

ABOUT OLD MURPHEY SCHOOL: The classroom is in a restored early 1900s school building, with parking in the front gravel lot. We will take a half hour break for lunch. Please bring your own lunch and drinks/water bottle, as there is no nearby fast food. There is a refrigerator for lunches. The classroom has folding chairs with padded seats; you may be more comfortable sitting all day if you bring an additional cushion. Consider bringing a light sweater, if you tend to get chilly in air conditioning.
