Free Motion Quilting - Doodles and More!
Create fun patterns and shapes as you learn to free-motion quilt on your domestic machine. We’ll learn some simple techniques to get your brain trained for free-motion motifs and then we’ll put that training to work learning how to maneuver your quilt sandwich under your machine’s free-motion foot. We’ll talk about looking at blocks – and a quilt – to break the quilting into manageable chunks to make quilting on your domestic machine easier. This is a beginning free-motion machine quilting skills class.
