Machine Quilting Workshop in Bangkok by Noriko Nozawa

Posted by Jill C. on March 4, 2011

New class I went to the machine quilting workshop by Noriko Nozawa at Bunka Fashion Design Academy, United Center Building 16th Floor, Silom Road, Bangkok, sponsored by K Line Travel, Janome, Elna, and Bunka Fashion Design Academy. The class was super fun. I highly recommend Noriko’s classes. We learned new techniques and the day was well planned so we completed our projects. The techniques are wonderful and she explains how to do them in a very understandable way. Thank you, Noriko! Thai website Sewing Lover’s Club.
