Free Motion Quilting doesn’t have to feel complicated or intimidating. Once it’s broken down into manageable steps and easy-to-achieve patterns, it becomes fun, creative, and incredibly rewarding!

In this class, I’ll show you how to use your darning foot to “draw” with your sewing machine and build confidence in free motion quilting, one design at a time. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who has been sewing for years but never quite mastered free motion quilting, this class is designed to help you feel relaxed and successful.

We’ll begin by exploring how the darning foot works, why it behaves differently from a standard sewing foot, and the wonderful effects you can achieve with it.

The day is then divided into two practical and inspiring sections:

• First, we’ll work through ten versatile quilting designs — the patterns I use most often in my own quilting projects.
• Then, we’ll start combining designs and look at real quilt examples, exploring which patterns work best in different areas of a quilt.

By the end of the class, you’ll leave with the confidence to start applying free motion quilting designs to your own projects and the skills to continue developing at home.

The class also includes access to the Complete Doodle Challenge Video Set featuring over 80 doodle designs, plus a printable Doodle Reference Guide — giving you plenty more inspiration and designs to try when you’re ready!

Come and discover just how enjoyable and achievable free motion quilting can be! This is an Online class delivered using up to three cameras so you can clearly see what and how Gill is drawing and sewing out all the designs.
