Description
Take your understanding of “fill” to a whole new level. We will use simple patterns to create background fills that seemingly flow behind foreground elements. Learn to use a “Master Pattern” to create multiple fills that limit the edge stitching found in more ‘typical’ fills for a fully custom design. Tools and features highlighted in this class include: Boundaries; Fill; Pattern manipulation; Nodes; Relocate; and Pattern properties. This class will be taught in SAM. Your custom quilts will stand out and your customers will be amazed at what you can do.
