Large freestyle curves can seem daunting, but with a few mind shifts, a willingness to let go of complete control, and some concrete engineering basics you will be improvising grid-defying curves in a snap!

This is your opportunity to OWN YOUR CURVE in this BIG CURVE construction primer!

NOTE: Bias Strip Piecing on the curve, taught in October, is not necessary for the Curve Construction Primer. If you want to embellish your freestyle curves with curvy bias-strips, then please sign up for Bias Strip Orange Peels & Petals class and learn the skill.

More About the Improv Curve Primer Series

From my sewing room to yours…

I am inspired to offer this comprehensive trio of Improv Curve workshops this fall. I’ve thought carefully about all of the possible curve classes I have taught and could teach and chose these three as a balanced and connected curriculum that will build confidence and flow, advance your curve skill set, and key your mind to think in curves (not squares).

In September: Refine your signature curve. Rhythmic Improv Curves will build your confidence with color, rhythm, and basic technique, and teaches a reliable method for making curves that flow and soften the grid.
In October: Learn bias-strip curve piecing to create Orange Peels & Petals. As your technique expands so will your imagination and ability to realize your vision.
In November: Making organic freestyle curves may seem hard, but once you learn how curve piecing works, composing off‑grid and on the fly gets easy. Freestyle Curve Engineering is a construction primer designed to help you grasp the basics of curve piecing and composition.

Join me for one, two or all three Improv Curve workshops in this thoughtfully curated series.

I can’t wait to see what you create!
