Learn the basics of free motion quilting in a hands-on, supportive class. We will cover sewing machine set-up, strategies for success, and five basic designs that do not require marking. Leave with a completed quilting sampler, new confidence, and the urge to quilt a whole quilt yourself! In this fast-paced class, you will learn to set up for free motion quilting, control tension, learn your directional preference, make design variations, control speed and scale, make compound shapes, and begin to build your personal style.
