Start Quilting NOW!
Are you still on the fence about free motion quilting? Have you been waiting for divine intervention to take over and suddenly make sense of the mystery? Do you only dream of pretty stitches and finished quilts?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: The best way to learn is to stitch 1 design. I’ve put together a great beginner tutorial over at Sew Bittersweet Designs stitching a giant, super simple version of stippling over this little quilt:
If you want to start free motion quilting – stop waiting! Go read this post at Sew Bittersweet Designs, then go cover a 1 yard quilt with this giant, super simple stippling.
Let’s go quilt,
Leah
p.s – Yes, I will be sharing a video on this next week as well as another review of the Janome HD 1000, the machine it was quilted on!
Thanks for this post. It was very helpful to me. I am a VERY reluctant quilter. Now my question is,how do you get those pins out without making your hands become too uncomfortable? =!=
Love the post! I am going to start practicing next weekend after I get my house back to myself!
this is wounderful Leah. As much as I read and re-read and watch, I am on the fence and it's time for to get off (before it rots under me and I fall off!!!)
winter months goal: LEARN TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN DOING MACHINE QUILTING……..
I've quilted every quilt I've ever finished. Unfortunately those have all been in the ditch. Time to move on and try this. Thanks Leah.
Yes everyone … give it a go! You may be as pleasantly surprised as I, on how easy and fun this is to do. Thanks Leah, can't wait to try some of your designs.
Thanks for this Leah. It's more timely than you know!
