Description

Free motion quilting gives you freedom and creativity with your sewing machine. This class in not your typical free motion class where you do stippling, meandering or echo around the lines, although we will touch on that. In this class you will learn how your quilting and the color of the thread can be used to emphasize or neutralize an area. We will be doing more exercises to loosen up your approach to stitching. Free motion can be used for quilting, thread painting, embellishment or drawing. You will get more out of this class if you also take the Auditioning Thread class.
