Four longarming classes are offered. Longarming 101 is required to take the advanced classes.

Longarming 201: This class is for people who have taken Longarm 101 will focus on free motion, ruler work, and how to combine the two to create interesting designs.

Longarming 202: Students will learn how to create and combine designs and improve their control of the longarm. We will cover ideas for borders, motifs, background designs, and drawing with the longarm.

Longarming 203: Students will increase their skill with rulers. You will learn how to use types of rulers that were not covered in Longarming 201.

This course is specifically crafted for quilters who have never tried foundation paper piecing and desire to have a basic enough understanding to start using beginning-intermediate fpp patterns. This engaging course will guide you through all the steps involved in creating a small quilt top. You will start by learning the concept of fpp as well as the tools required and then will be guided through step-by-step tutorials that start with simple quilt blocks working to more complex.
