Workshop: Free Motion Quilting on Domestic Machines
November 17, 2023 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Class Description
Would you like to learn how to free motion quilt using your domestic sewing machine? This class is for the Beginner to Intermediate quilter who wants to learn the basics or to expand on their quilting skills.
I will share different design techniques to get you started, such as feathers, crosshatching, pebbles, and more. Keeping the design smooth and making even stitches can sometimes be a difficult task, but with practice and my guidance you will feel much better about your quilting.
The big questions I get:
Where do I start?
How do I come up with a design?
I have been quilting and teaching for many years and I want to make your quilting experience less stressful and more enjoyable. So let’s get started!
