Lets get to making some travel plans, so we can use this outstanding Get Out of Town bag by ByAnnie. Great for traveling, I use it for all my extra sewing items when sewing out and about.

Before class homework:
Quilt your main fabric and lining fabric together! We have a few options for you so we can keep this class to 2 days we are asking for the fabric to be quilted before class. 

Option 1:
Bring your fabric to Wild Oats, or your favorite longarm quilter, and have them quilt the fabric with the soft & stable instead of batting. For this you will want to make sure your lining fabric is about 1/4 yard bigger for them to attach to the frame. 

Option 2:
Free-motion quilt your fabrics at home on your own.
- Cut your main fabric, lining, and soft machine free-motion quilting:
Sandwich your main fabric and lining fabric with the soft and stable. You can do straight lines, loops or whatever your heart desires. 

Option 3:
Join our 1 day class on the basics of how to free-motion quilt a quilt sandwich for a bag or small quilt. Click here!
