Welcome to Sew-N-Girl Needlecrafts home on the web. My name is Cindy Farrell and I am a certified instructor for Cotton Theory™ Quilting and offer classes throughout the state of Maine. Cotton Theory™ Quilting is reversible quilting, giving you two products in one! Unlike traditional quilts, Cotton Theory projects are quilted first, one segment at a time, and then assembled using Betty Cotton’s fold-and-finish procedures.

The Cotton Theory method makes quilting easy, no matter what size quilt you’re making! You quilt each piece individually before you construct your project, so quilting becomes just as enjoyable as piecing together the design. You are able to quilt pieces creatively and accurately to produce reversible quilts with decorative stitches and optional machine embroidery.

During the assembly, you sew the raw edges of your quilted pieces together, leaving seam allowances that are folded on the outside of your quilt and then stitched in place using one or more Cotton Theory techniques. This adds extra dimension to the surface and the result is a reversible quilt that combines sewing, quilting, and embroidery, if you choose. All the quilting is done with a sewing machine so there is no need to do handwork!

I offer classes teaching Cotton Theory™ Quilting throughout the state of Maine. All of my classes are intended to be fun and informative. It is my goal to teach every student how to create beautiful quilts, handbags, table mats, and other products using the Cotton Theory™ Quilting procedure. Visit my Class page to see my class schedule and if you are a store owner or are interested in having a private party class, please contact me for class requirements.

Quilting that is fast, fun, and gives you two products in one! I also offer quilting products such as books, patterns, notions, and batting. Visit my products page for more information. Click here to view my Cotton Theory Quilting Certificate.
