Take the fear out of free motion quilting. Learn how to stitch 6, beginner-friendly, background fill designs that you can apply to your quilts. You’ll leave with a sampler of designs and confidence to quilt your next project. These designs will add beautiful texture to your next quilt. Skill Level: Beginner Learning Objectives: Students will learn how to set up their machine for free motion quilting and stitch six foundational designs with smooth movements. Machine: sewing machine or sit down quilting machine

There is no kit – but I will provide a printed handout/workbook which contains each design and tips for drawing/stitching. That will be approximately 7 pages at a cost of $5.00

Other Equipment: I will demonstrate how to draw the designs first. I’d like to have an easel/paper pad at a minimum so that the whole class can see.
