Piping Hot Curves-Macaroni, half-day class with kit *** Please note this description and supply list is different from the full-day version of this class. In this half-day version, students work from a pre-cut kit. In the full-day version, students bring their own fabrics. *** Accent curves with piping! This technique is wonderful for traditional curved patterns and great for contemporary designs. In class, students will learn to make perfect piping and add that piping to the curvy macaroni block. Piping adds pizzazz!
