Quilting at the Beach | Myrtle Beach, SC

Introducing The Pillow Finishing Series!

Have you ever finished stitching a beautiful needlepoint canvas and dreamed of turning it into a pillow, but weren't quite sure where to begin?

I'm excited to partner with Quilting at the Beach for the first class in our new Pillow Finishing Series!

We'll begin with the fundamentals of constructing a classic knife-edge needlepoint pillow, including learning how to create and apply custom fabric piping for a beautiful, polished finish.

This hands-on workshop is designed to help you understand the process of pillow construction, become more comfortable using a sewing machine, and develop the skills and confidence to finish your own needlepoint pillows.

What You'll Learn

  • How to prepare your stitched needlepoint canvas for pillow finishing

  • How to measure and prepare backing fabric

  • How to create custom fabric piping

  • Techniques for attaching piping to your needlepoint canvas

  • How to assemble and construct a classic knife-edge pillow

  • Tips and techniques for achieving a professional-looking finish

What to Bring

  • One completed, stitched needlepoint canvas suitable for a pillow

  • Backing fabric of your choice

  • Coordinating fabric for your custom piping

  • Your own sewing machine, if you prefer to use it

  • Favorite sewing scissors and personal tools, if desired

Don't own a sewing machine? No problem! Students are welcome to bring their own machines or use one of the sewing machines available during class.

Quilting at the Beach has a wonderful selection of fabrics, making it a great opportunity to find the perfect backing and piping fabrics for your project!

The Beginning of Something More!

Pillow Finishing 101 is the first class in a progressive series designed to help stitchers build their finishing skills one technique at a time.

Future classes will explore more advanced construction techniques, including Pillow Finishing 201: Boxed Pillows & Zippers, along with additional pillow finishing methods.

A Few Important Details

This is a hands-on instructional workshop. Our focus is on learning and practicing pillow construction techniques, and completion of your pillow during class is not guaranteed.

Class size will be limited to allow for individual guidance, hands-on instruction, and plenty of opportunities for questions.

Registration Policy: Class registrations are nonrefundable. If you're unable to attend, your payment may be applied as credit toward another class or finishing services.

Come ready to learn something new, explore beautiful fabrics, and discover just how rewarding finishing your own needlepoint pillows can be!
