Saturday 1/23/2027

Break free from traditional machine quilting using your walking foot and a domestic machine. Leave behind previous notions of stitching in the ditch or overall quilting.
APPROACH MACHINE QUILTING IN AN IMPROV STYLE, WITH A LITTLE PLANNING!
6 hours: With a simple supply list and a little pre-prep of 3 – 6 small quilt sandwiches, you will explore new ways to approach walking foot machine quilting. I will also showyou how to gusset join your workshop samples into a finished mini quilt!
- PREPARE IN ADVANCE 3 – 6 small quilt sandwiches from provided designs: these will be
the canvases for your machine quilting artistry!
- TAKE INSPIRATION from the piecing to stitch an initial quilting motif.
- OVERLAY a new machine quilting motif, using a different thread color with new positioning, and allowing the motifs to overlap.
- LAYER additional modern motifs using a third and fourth thread color to add more texture and depth. Ramp up the texture with some big stitch hand quilting.
You will leave the workshop with concrete skills for a modern, layered approach to walking foot quilting. Bring your prepared quilt sandwiches and your spirit for quilting adventure! I will provide full hands-on instructions in class. This is an all-levels workshop. Basic knowledge of walking foot machine quilting is helpful, but not necessary. We will learn together!
