New Sulky Sew Exciting™ Seminar “The Quilted Home”

A new Sulky “Sew Exciting™” Seminar based on the new Sulky book by Joyce Drexler Weekend Quilting with Sulky is now being presented in independent retail stores across the country. Two of the hottest trends in sewing today, quilting and home dec, come together in this inspiring new program.

The Sulky “Quilted Home” seminar is perfect for beginner, intermediate, advanced and even non-quilters. Attendees find out how to use Sulky Decorative Rayon, Cotton and Metallic threads to enliven quilting projects and express their own personal creativity. They’ll also find out why Sulky stabilizers are very important for quilting success. 

Quilters love Sulky Totally Stable and Super Solvy Stabilizers as a topper for patterns. 

Sulky Paper Solvy has made foundation piecing painless, and Sulky Tear-Easy Stabilizer is the first choice for appliquéd quilts. Seminar attendees learn a myriad of tips and techniques and will be delighted with the project ideas that they can incorporate into their home décor.

In this fast-paced new seminar, there is something for everyone. Attendees will have the opportunity to:
• Learn how to use their favorite theme fabrics that they’ve been hoarding for charming quilt projects.
• Discover the simplicity in using outline embroideries by machine or hand for the center of pillows.
