Ruler Work
Grab your favorite ruler, or one of Darla's suggestions, and get started on learning how to free motion quilt with a ruler! You will be learning how to plan and quilt with straight-lines, how to "echo quilt" with your favorite ruler, cross hatching, and other filler motifs to help you fill in different blocks using a ruler. Straight and curved rulers will be demonstrated.
Free Motion Fillers
Want to create an organic design with ease and beautiful texture?
You will learn how to use basic designs to up level your quilting with swirls, McTavishing Swirls, shells, rainbows, and pebbles to help you create your own organic quilting fillers! These are techniques used to create amazing texture and can fill up blocks or negative space fast!
Fun and Frilly Feathers
Feathers are a fun and elegant way to elevate your quilting! You will be learning Victorian Feathers, Funky Feathers, and Double Feathers! After class you will be able to fill a border or sashing, a square, and a triangle with these beautiful feather motifs!
Imagine being a quilter who:
...knows what kinds of designs you like for different shapes!
...knows simple designs of Free Motion Quilting to use on a top - and knows how to use them (with a panel quilted to look back at and to show off what you like!)
...creates classic or fun quilted feathers!
...knows how to use those fancy rulers that are gathering dust on your shelf!
...can choose whether or not to pay another quilter to finish your quilts - or being able to communicate what you want on a quilt with your longarm quilter (you know, for those few to-big-to-handle quilts!)
...(for those in business) finally offering custom quilting using your unique style! Creating a truly unique product for your customers.
