Free Motion Machine Quilting Winter Session



Bring your sewing machine to learn how to free motion!  This class will familiarize you with how to free motion machine quilt on your own machine.  You will discover how to drop your feed dogs, use & modify tension, thread weight, thread content, needles and movement to create your perfect inspiration!    

Each session will focus on a different "design" or technique for free motion - florals, swirls, etc. Take the series and perfect them all!

For class, you will need to:

- Bring your machine & free motion quilting foot specifically for your machine (have it fitted by our staff if needed)
- Ensure that your sewing machine has the ability to drop the feed dogs
- Ensure your machine has been recently serviced or is in good working order.  

Please bring your own:

- Top stitch needles #12 or 14 (we recommend and sell Schmetz Universal)
- Good quality quilting thread size 40 or 30 weight (we recommend and sell Mettler)
- Darning or free motion foot
- Safety pins or spray baste
- 4 fat quarters (2 or 3 solid + 1 with design/print of your choice that you would like to quilt around)
- 1/2 yard cotton batting

All supplies can be purchased from the shop at a 15% discount!
