Hoop classes by brand. Positioning in the hoop is a bit different between brands, so classes are split. These are group owner’s lessons for which there will be no fee if you purchased the hoop from SWN. Please keep your ideas coming so classes meet your needs.Another request was for quilting classes to teach skills, but not necessarily a whole six-part series. This month there is a bargello class in El Paso and a class using Triangulations in Las Cruces. Watch for the flip-flop next month!Sew many specials and new opportunities to learn and organize.

Mitered CornerBlocksOur mitered corner designs are just what you need to join your confetti blocks and paper piecing blocks together to make the perfect pillow. These corners are so easy and quick, you will be adding extra flair all over your home in no time!

Paper Piecing BlocksPaper piecing gives a fun and unique twist to any design. Using the folded fabric technique and an assortment of scrap fabrics, you will be able to create this stunning look on clothing or on home decor.

Confetti BlocksThe confetti blocks use a unique three-step appliqué technique that incorporates yarn, ribbon, thread, fabric or any other texture you wish to trap under a layer of tulle. With these exclusive designs, saving your scraps has never been more useful. Use the assorted confetti to match the color of your flower and the end result is simply beautiful. This technique works great when making quilts, pillows, or with embroidery.
