[Click here for time zone converter]
~~~~~~~~~~~
This SPECIAL EDITION class gives you 5 days instead of the usual 3 --
more time to learn, more time to practice!
AND it includes a new, never-before published table runner pattern
to make with your practice blocks!
I hear it all the time . . . everyone tells you if you want to learn free-motion quilting just "Practice, practice, practice." But if you're practicing the wrong things, you spend a lot of time getting nowhere. Or worse -- you just get better and better at doing it wrong.
I'll teach you HOW to practice so you can learn and quilt a pattern in just a few moments.
The key to practicing FMQ is to remember that is it MOTION. Your body has to learn to MOVE through a design. You've probably been told to draw the design, but drawing is only part of the process, and it does not teach you MOTION.
Free-Motion Mastery in a Month begins with motion: first, finding the motions your body already knows -- motions you do every day that are the foundation of free-motion quilting. Then guides you step-by-step through simple exercises that will get you quilting successfully in just a few minutes -- at any sewing machine (domestic or longarm). You'll be able to successfully do free-motion quilting during the class -- you'll go from straight lines to feathers in ONE class, even if you have never done free-motion quilting before! You'll finish with a practice plan to continue building your skills and the ability to learn and quilt any design. You'll finish class saying "I can DO this!"
In this class you will learn how to:
- Pre-train your hands anytime, anywhere, before you sit down at the sewing machine.
- Set up your machine for free-motion quilting
- Move your hands, your body and the quilt for relaxed, efficient quilting
- Quilt the fundamental shapes that are the basis for all quilting patterns
- Learn to quilt any pattern quickly and easily
- Join pre-quilted blocks to make a quilt of any size

A fabric kit is available for this class - see images above. It contains all the fabric and batting to make either version of the table runner shown. It does not contain thread. If you would like a fabric kit, add it to your order using the buttons above. Quantity is limited. If no button shows for ordering a kit, it is sold out.
They are not absoutely required, but you will get a lot more out of the class if you do have them. If you want to continue the FMM30 lessons after class ends, you will definitely need the book and tool kit.
Yes and yes. The class is recorded and is available for students to watch for 60 days after the class ends.
