Level Descriptions
We offer a variety of workshops for quilters and sewists at all skill levels. Each workshop is marked as Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.
- Beginner workshops are geared towards participants with some basic sewing skills. These workshops will provide instruction for more technical skills.
- Intermediate workshops are for sewists and quilters who have solid skills on basic cutting, piecing, quilting and sewing techniques. Participants should require little to no instruction on sewing machine operation.
- Advanced workshops are for experienced quilters with solid skills on a wide variety of quilting techniques, including piecing, appliqué, handwork and more.
If you have any questions about what workshops would be best for your sewing skills, please email us at info@quiltcon.com.
