The Tutor will adjust the course content of our regular Intermediate course to make it suitable for beginners, though some experience in sewing is an advantage. You must be a QBG member to enrol. See New Member Sign Up on the website. Country membership costs $50 and will last until early June 2025. It is not included in the course cost.
The Course Tutor will be Darryn Schneider and the Assistant will be Ken McKeon, both experienced Guild members.
Course Content
After folding and sewing the text block you will round and back it to create a book that is longer wearing.
