There is nothing more gratifying for a teacher than to see your students succeed! That's what is so exciting about teaching Free-Motion Mastery in a Month classes -- students leave the classroom having succeeded far beyond what they ever thought possible -- in just a few hours.

What makes Free-Motion Mastery in a Month different from other approaches to learning free-motion quilting? While other approaches focus on patterns, Free-Motion Mastery in a Month goes deeper to focus on body mechanics -- teaching the body how to move to quilt a pattern.

It's something so basic and simple that it gets overlooked. But when you guide your students through the experiential exercises in the Free-Motion Mastery system, the fundamental movements of free-motion quilting come easily and naturally -- and they succeed at free-motion quilting almost instantly!

The FMM30 Teacher Certification Program lets you bring this uniquely effective teaching system to your students and customers. Using prepared lesson plans, projects and videos, you can present classes any time, in the way that best suits your students, your customers and your store. You can create a strong, ongoing free-motion education program that will build your customers' skills and loyalty, and build your profits.
