Let’s Quilt Lima Beans! Design #513
I used to require a lot of incentive to eat my lima beans. Thankfully quilting Lima Beans is a lot more fun!
Quick Links from this free motion quilting tutorial:
Click Here to learn more about my home sewing machine – You don’t need a massive machine to learn free motion quilting. You just need a sturdy machine and a willingness to practice!
Deluxe Foot Set – This set includes two styles of walking feet, a darning foot, and a ruler foot! These are the feet I use for machine quilting on my Eversewn machine.
I’m also quilting on a Janome 1600 set up on a Grace Hoop Frame. This makes quilting feel so much easier because the machine is moving on wheels instead of the quilt being pushed over a table.

Difficulty Level – Intermediate. You’ll need to be able to travel stitch, hit exact points, and echo quilt. Because these three skills take a bit of time to master, this is an intermediate design. But that also means it’s a great skill builder for learning these three techniques!
Design Family – Pivoting. Designs in this family are like Paisley and have a beautiful flowing texture and slight thread build at the base of the design. Just watch out you don’t travel stitch over the same spot too many times or your thread may break. Well, unless you’re using my favorite thread of course!
Where to Quilt It? – Lima Beans will surprisingly work everywhere on your quilts! I think this would make a pretty all-over quilting design as well as an accent design in your borders and sashing. It’s so nice the design goes with anything and everything, unlike the food!
