June Guild Meeting

Featured Artist:: Diane Henry

Program: Demystifying Thread

Diane Henry, former Handi Quilter International Educator, certified Superior Threadologist, and accomplished custom long-arm quilter, will share her knowledge and insights of using various types and sizes of threads to get the effect you want on your quilts when using a domestic sewing machine or long-arm machine. Topics will include preparing your machine for success; needle and batting selection; adjusting tension; and the many choices of threads on the market today.

Diane Henry has been working with fabric since her grandmother taught her how to hand piece her first nine-patch block at age four. A blue-ribbon winning hand quilter, she discovered machine quilting in the late 1990’s and has never looked back.

Diane loves sharing her passion for machine quilting with others around the world. She works with quilting groups and shops leading classes for beginners and advanced quilters. She also organizes workshops and conducts lectures, classes on-line and demonstrations at quilt shows on topics ranging from hand quilting, free motion machine quilting, and supporting Pro-Stitcher owners and Pro-Stitcher Designer users.
