FMM30 Teacher Training gives TEACHERS a plan to succeed!
The FMM30 approach to teaching free-motion quilting is unlike any other. Focusing on body mechanics rather than patterns, FMM30 uses specific exercises to accelerate your students' learning process and get them to success fast!
The FMM30 Teacher Certification Program enables stores to have a trained Free-Motion Mastery in a Month teacher in-house. Using prepared lesson plans and projects, you can present classes any time, in the way that best suits your store and your customers. You can create a strong, ongoing free-motion education program that will build your customers' skills and loyalty, and build your profits.
There are 3 ways to get certified:
Who can attend?
Attendees must be owners or employees of a quilting-related business. You will be asked to provide your Tax ID number or business license when you create a wholesale account in order to enroll.
Upcoming Dates
Please note: These events are for quilt-related businesses and their employees; they are not open to the general public. A wholesale account is required to register. Click here to create or log in to your wholesale account.
Why Get Certified?
FMM30 Certified Teachers have access to a wealth of materials that make teaching free-motion quilting easy, fun and profitable.
What materials does FMM30 Teacher Training include?
What’s in the Teacher’s Manual?
Add the Project Pack for a variety of projects to teach in classes
Each Project Pack includes 12 different projects: 4 that use 1-3 quilted blocks, 4 that use 5-9 quilted blocks and 4 16-block quilts. Include the complete Project Pack (all 12 patterns) with your Teacher Certification at a bundle discount, or purchase individual patterns in the FMM30 store as you are ready to use them.
Are sewing machines provided at the regional seminars?
We encourage you to bring your own domestic sewing machine if possible, so you are as comfortable as possible with the machine you are sewing on. If you are coming by plane or other public transportation we can arrange to have a sewing machine available for you for a nominal charge.
What about longarm machines?
The FMM30 learning system works for both domestic and longarm machines. Seminars are taught on domestic machines while explaining adaptations for longarm machines. Where a longarm is available we will provide instruction and practice time on the longarm machine.
How do I enroll?
You must have a wholesale account with RaNae Merrill Quilt Design in order to enroll in a Teacher Certification Seminar. Click here to create or log in to your wholesale account. Once you have logged in to your account, open the Quick Order Form and select the seminar you want to attend. You can pay through our online store.
