Extension Cord

This class will provide you with the knowledge and skills to have more confidence in your FMQ abilities. We will focus on basic stippling, but will discuss other FMQ patterns and how to apply those to the basic principles. Free Motion Quilting is a skill that only gets better the more you do it. It can be intimidating to jump in, but if you know the principles, you can apply them to just about any project. At the end of the class, you should be comfortable enough to go home and FMQ your first project with confidence!

Sign-ups for this class are now closed.
