Free Motion Quilting Design #38 – Flame Stitch

This Flame Stitch free motion quilting design should have been the first design I shared on this blog. I’ve been saving it up just in case I had a bad day or struggled to find inspiration. Since I woke up with a cold today, I think it’s high time you learn how to quilt Flame Stitch:

This should have been the first design I shared here  because it was the first one I created! I designed this back in July for Release Your Light and this is what gave me the idea for starting this blog in the first place. I hope you enjoy learning how to quilt it with me!

Difficulty Level – Beginner. If you can Paisley, you can flame stitch. The only difference is changing the curves for nice long pointy flames.

Design Family – Echoing.

Directional Texture – 2 directions. This is one of those designs that you will start along one edge and then work your way in rows to the opposite edge.

Suggestions for Use – Got a sunshine, sunflower, or fire quilt needing a good free motion design? Here’s your perfect stitch!

Feel free to use this free motion filler designs in your quilts, and Click here to support the project by visiting our online quilt shop.

Let’s go quilt,

    Thank you so much for this blog. I can only quilt in the ditch and basic straight lines and want to try free motion. I am watching all your videos and psyching myself up for trying something new.thanks again for the inspiration.

    What a neat blog you have. I have added it to my bloglist and maybe with your blog I can learn to do free motion.

    I can't tell you how much I love your blog! I love that you include a video and everything. I'm feeling more brave about trying something other than loops and stippling. Thanks!
