Skill Buillders! What is a Skill Builder and Why Take Them!
- For many years we watched people attend project focused classes. We found people really didn't know how to cut better, piece better, or press better after taking those classes.
- Many people were working really hard and not achieving the greatest outcomes. Some gave up on sewing and quilting because it wasn't fun.
- About 10 years ago, we decided to focus on making people more skillful so all projects would go together easier!
- Skill builders were born!
- If you are experiencing difficulty with a technique, give Skill Builders a try!
