SUMMARY:QSeries Quest
DESCRIPTION:This event is for all our QSeries customers and anyone interested in trying one for themselves! Are you a Q Series owner? Join us Friday evening for a customer appreciation reception and meet other Quilters and share your experiences. \nSaturday\, during the Qseries open house\, pop in and try a Sit Down or the Q24 on a frame from 12:00pm-2:00pm. Bring in your quilt top for our ‘How do I quilt this’ discussion with Gail Berry-Graham from Bernina Canada. \nHow Do I Quilt This? The piecing is finished\, and though it’s a great feeling\, we are often left with a  “What Now?” feeling.  How do I quilt it?  Overall?  Custom?  Modern? Curvy lines?  Straight lines?  Stipple?  The choices are endless and can be overwhelming.  Bring your unfinished quilt top to this session\, and we will walk you through the questions to ask yourself before you choose your quilt design.  A discussion of basic quilting principles will be discussed and applied.  This is a fun\, interactive class that will help you tackle that stack of quilt tops. \nSunday\, March 16th\, we will be offering an education and discussion-filled day exclusive to our existing Q series owners.
