If you are a quilter who: 1) already feels comfortable straight line quilting with a walking foot, or 2) has previously taken “Quilting With a Walking Foot,” and 3) is ready to expand your home machine quilting skills, then this workshop is for you!
Students will learn how to free-hand (without following drawn designs) free motion quilt, and methods for marking drawn designs to quilt a particular pattern. Instruction also includes how to start/stop quilting - what to do with those thread tails - and options for controlling the movement of the quilt under the needle.
It’s expected that students are already familiar with various types of sewing machine needles, fabric markers, battings, and threads.
Students will need to bring to the workshop a sewing machine that has:
1. a free motion quilting foot or darning foot
2. the capability of lowering or covering feed dogs.
3. an owner’s manual
4. been recently cleaned or serviced.
The instructor does not provide tech-support for your sewing machine, so make sure you are familiar with the basics of your machine, and have the appropriate quilting foot (see your dealer if you are not sure).
A complete supply list will be provided by the instructor.
Students do not need a quilt top for this workshop.
A 45-minute lunch break is allowed.
