Meeting Schedule
We generally meet the second Saturday of each month from 9:30 a.m. until noon. Meetings are held at various locations in the Nashville area. We invite you to join us. Non-members may attend two local chapter meetings with no additional charge prior to joining. While there may be an occasional kit fee (depending on the program), our meetings are generally free to attend. There are small fees for our sewing retreats and any program with a national teacher.

How to Successfully Select Fabrics Online When shopping online for fabric have you ever wondered, "What is an ITY knit?" or "What is a cotton voile?" The fabric world has some very interesting words and we're here to demystify them for you! Join Julie Brown, co-owner and fabric buyer for Fabric Mart, as she shares fabric knowledge with us in this fun and informative presentation. The January session will concentrate on the basics of cotton, rayon, linen as well as silks and special occasion fabrics. The February focus will be on wool and suiting fabrics and knits. In addition to the virtual class you will receive a printable notebook that you can use to follow along with the class as well as a recording of the class. There is an optional swatch fabric book that you can purchase via our website. |
