    This online workshop will get you started with stained glass applique as you make one of two (or both) fun projects - a Christmas poinsettia or sunflower. These projects can be made very quickly and look completed before any stitching is started! A fun, fast and exciting technique.

    This is a beginner's workshop in stained glass applique and delightful projects for any quilter. There is no quilting required and all stitching can be done with straight stitch. You can make it in no time at all with pre-made bias or make your own original bias with the instructions included - there is many advantages of the latter, all revealed in the workshop. Both quilts are fun easy making either an ideal gift for those you love.

    Note: Once purchased, you can access the class data any time, 24 hours a day and you get immediate access. (if you don't have an account we suggest you sign up for one prior to purchase) 

    Both designs are also available as patterns: Christmas Poinsettia and Stained Glass Sunflower

    Bias Binding:

    This workshop includes instructions for making your own bias binding and fusible tape as an alternative to purchasing pre-made bias. There are two methods, you may choose either or try both.

    Either method requires the following per quilt:

    • 1/2 yd fabric for bias
    • 1yd fusible webbing or ONE 40ft pack of 5mm fusible tape
    • Method One only: requires a 1/4" or 3/8" bias bar
    • Method Two only: requires a 1/4" bias tape maker

    Full discussions about equipment are included in the first lesson to help you decide.

    If you do not wish to make your own bias binding you will need 9-10.5 yds of Fusible Bias Binding OR Bias Binding & pack of 40ft 5mm fusible tape. Recommended: 11 yds Fusible Bias Binding on reel made by Clover.
