Quilting Designs by Machine Learn to do free motion machine quilting for any purpose – filler patterns or feather wreaths! We’ll begin with meander quilting and other free form filler patterns for which you do not need to mark your quilt. Then we’ll progress to more difficult patterns for which you’ll follow a line. We’ll also practice two methods for quilting designs like feather wreaths, one marked and one not. This is a method class – no project will be completed. Some machine quilting experience is helpful, but not necessary. You need to be on good terms with your sewing machine! Click to see a larger image. Date to be determined |
