Description

This collaboration brings together experts from three trusted industry leaders, SCHMETZ, Hobbs, and Aurifil, for a visual exploration of the perfect stitch. Sharing inspiring quilts, projects, and stitched samples, the panel demonstrates how needle, thread, and batting choices work together to influence stitch quality, quilting texture, and successful results in sewing and quilting projects. Machine needles, batting, and thread form the foundation of every stitch, yet many makers struggle to understand how these components work together. Through practical guidance, product insights, and real-world experience, our panel of experts will help attendees make confident choices and elevate their results.

Product giveaways include:

  • Queen-size batt of Hobbs best-selling Heirloom Premium 80/20 Batting

  • 12 large spool "Brights" collection of Aurifil Cotton 50wt Thread
