This is the online version of my class
that ALWAYS sells out at shows!



Want to learn to do free-motion quilting but don’t know where to start?
Are you getting nowhere with "Practice, practice, practice"?
Have you tried FMQ and failed? 
Did you just get the FMM30 book and tool kit, and want help getting started?
Are you wondering if FMM30 will work for you?
Do you just need to stop procrastinating?

This is the class for you!  

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 you already know -- motions you do every day that are the foundation of free-motion quilting. Then it uses my unique movements and specialized tools to guide 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

Do I need the Free-Motion Mastery in a Month book and tool kit for the class?

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. Click Here to purchase.  Make sure to add this class to your cart before you leave this page.
