New updates make it EVEN EASIER to learn FMQ with
Free-Motion Mastery in a Month!

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 three teaching elements: Tracing, Drawing and Quilting.

Free-Motion Mastery in a Month is designed to be a self-guided course, guiding 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:

I already have the 1st Edition. Is there a way to get the updates?

Yes. For a limited time -- until June 30, 2022 -- you can purchase the update only. It is a downloadable PDF and includes instructions for where to insert the new pages into the 1st Edition. Click here to purchase the update.

Are the tracing sheets in the book?

Yes, but you will need to copy them out and laminate them.  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.
