Quilting Classes

Addie's has two large classrooms with design walls, comfortable seating and good lighting. The Starter Series is outstanding. We have created a series of small quilts with progressive learning in each. Take the first three and get your tuition paid for in the fourth. All of our classes, apart from the Starter Series, requires that you have the skills taught in the Nines. 

Please make certain your sewing machine is in excellent working condition. If new, please familiarize yourself with all of its functions. Instructors cannot use valuable class time to help a student with their sewing machine.

Students registered in Addie's classes receive a 10% discount on all class supplies.
