Stack & Whack Workshop
Instructor: Ann Czompo
This fun and unique technique, taught over 2 sessions, creates kaleidoscope-like blocks by stacking and cutting fabric!
Join Ann as she teaches us the Stack & Whack technique by Bethany Reynolds. Ann says this “… is easy with interesting results. You won’t know how it will look, or specific yardage requirements until you have completed the process of block construction. Each block will be different.”
The 2nd session is 2 November 2024 from 1:30PM - 4:30PM.
Supplies:
Fabric suggestion: select a fairly dense design with a variety of colors, without large patches of background. Angel at HALO Inspirations can assist you, or you can wait until the first class and Ann will help you select an appropriate fabric for the blocks. DO NOT WASH THE FABRIC!
Choose fabric with a medium to large print and little background
The design in the fabric should repeat at least every 11/12 inches
It's a good choice for using pretty fabrics that you don't want to cut into small pieces
Sashing and corner squares
Borders
Binding
Neutral thread for construction.
Flat head pins and regular pins
Seam roller/presser (optional)
Rotary Cutter with fresh blade 45-60
Mat 18” X 24” If you have a rotating mat, it’s handy for trimming blocks (optional)
Rulers: 12.5” square, 6.5” X 24.5” rectangle
Sewing machine (with cord, foot pedal, bobbins, manual, presser feet: straight stitch, quarter inch foot). Lubricating the machine and a new needle (12/80 or 14/90 Microtex, sharp, or topstitch) recommended.
