Free-Motion Mastery in a Month Book, 2nd Edition

Free-Motion Mastery in a Month draws on my 25+ years experience as a piano teacher to bring you the simplest, most effective system ever for learning or improving free-motion quilting skills. The FMM30 system breaks down the learning process into 30 simple daily lessons that combine four teaching elements: Movement, Tracing, Drawing and Quilting.

One of the things that is really unique about Free-Motion Mastery in a Month is that it focuses on movement. Since free-motion quilting is motion, your body must learn to move in order to quilt successfully. So, each of the lessons in FMM30 begins with body and hand movements that train your muscle memory and rhythm before you go to the sewing machine.

You will learn over 50 quilting designs, from straight lines to feathers, based on 6 Basic Shapes. Learning to quilt the 6 Basic Shapes is like learning to write the alphabet -- once you know them you can combine them to quilt ANY design.

Free-Motion Mastery in a Month is designed to be a self-guided course, taking you through the right steps, in the right order to learn free-motion quilting easily and quickly. Use the book and tool kit (it's been updated and improved too!) with a recorded video class or live online class to get the most out of your learning experience.

FAQ:

How long is the book? 

176 pages.

Are the tracing sheets in the book?

Yes, but  will need to copy them out and laminate them. (Warning: some laminating film does not release dry-erase ink!) Most people find that by the time you do all that, plus purchase and/or gather up the other tools you'll need, the Free-Motion Mastery in a Month Tool Kit is a great value and gets you started without procrastinating!

Is the 2nd edition included in FMM30 product bundles?

Yes. The 1st edition has been discontinued. All bundles and product combinations that include the book have the 2nd edition.
