Free Motion Quilting

In this class, we will get ourselves, our materials, and our machines ready for successful free motion machine quilting. Two designs will be offered and practiced each month. Some people will choose to come once, some will want to come a few more times, but there's no limit, so come as many months as you'd like! Once you have several practice pieces done, we can teach you how to assemble them into a table runner, wall hanging, or a whole quilt!
