\t\t\t\tCuddle <\/a>fabric (sometimes referred to as Minky<\/em> ) is a special type of plush fabric that is often used to make baby blankets, baby clothing and baby accessories. The high quality of Cuddle fabric prevents its colors from fading and its warmth from decreasing over time. Produced by Shannon Fabrics<\/a>, Cuddle fabrics have become their signature collection.\"\"<\/a>\nWhile Cuddle fabric is a super soft and plush fabric, it can be very tricky to sew with until you are familiar with it. Road 2018 is offering three classes by a Cuddle expert, Sheila McKay, to help take the mystery of sewing with this type of fabric.\nAlong with her two daughters. Sheila owns McKay Manor Musers<\/em><\/a>, a place for all things crafty. Their tagline is ‘Inspiration is everywhere … unleash your inner artisan’<\/em>\nThe three classes Sheila will be teaching are:\n\n\n

Thursday Night 4063C\u00a0 Fun With Painters Tape\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Friday Night 5066C \u00a0Diagonal Sew and Flip\"\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

A quick and easy way to build a quilt right on the batting, and on<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Sunday 7008C\u00a0\u00a0 Mixing Gauze, Knit and Cuddle\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Tips and tricks to sewing with these notoriously difficult fabrics<\/p>\n\n\nWhy does Sheila like to teach? Because she loves watching \u201cthe light bulbs come on.\u201d Sheila shares that most people really don’t enjoy sewing with Cuddle fabric or with gauze and even knits. She is looking forward to giving enough tips and tricks so that most people can walk away with lots of new ways to make sewing on Cuddle and these other fabrics so much easier.\"\"<\/a>\nWhat is Sheila\u2019s favorite sewing tool? \u201cBy far, it is the needle threader on my sewing machine!! I am lost when it doesn’t work. Apparently, I need to admit that I need glasses.\u201d\nHer favorite sewing tip is one she picked up from an instructor that taught a class at the Houston Quilt Festival. She showed her how to make a perfect mitered corner when you are doing binding by just using a sticky note folded in half to make a triangle.\nIn addition to teaching her classes, Sheila and McKay Manor Musers <\/em><\/a>will have a vendor booth. Look for them to be selling all of their full-size patterns and template packs.\u00a0 Sheila and her daughters have designed almost everything in their booth.\u00a0 The template packs are appliques that can be put on the top of the quilts or anything else like purses, pillows or backpacks.\u00a0 They also offer kits for many of the patterns so customers don\u2019t have to go out and find their own fabrics.\u00a0 Most of all, Sheila adds, \u201cWe offer a smile – stop by and see us.\u201d\n \n \n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
