Foundation Workshops

Foundation Workshops run at our Pinhole Quilting Showroom and are usually included as part of the purchase of your Handi Quilter machine. We understand how important it is that we don't just sell "boxes", but instead provide a solid foundation in the new skills, techniques and tips that will set you up for maximum enjoyment of your new hobby or business.
