Welcome to the world of Cotton Theory Quilting where you will find three-dimensional seams, quilted embroidery and reversible binding. No more trying to fit a bulky quilt into your sewing machine. There is no Hand Work! This lecture will also include a Trunk Show.

Bobbin Work
Cotton Theory Quilting gives you three-dimensional seams. How would you like to add three dimension to your quilting? Bobbin work allows you to put anything too heavy to fit through the eye of the needle, in your bobbin. Betty will showcase several samples using floss, ribbon and even yarn using decorative stitches along with embroidery. It doesn't matter if you have a rotary hook bobbin case or a drop-in. It will work!

Cotton Theory Quilting with traditional blocks Part II
Enlarged seam allowances are needed in order to construct your quilt using Cotton Theory Quilting. There are four different ways to go about using traditional quilt blocks that only have a 1/4" seam. You will love quilting your blocks first, then assembling them into a reversible quilt.
