Free Motion Quilting an Entire Project for DIARY OF A QUILTER

Описание: #freemotionquilting #machinequilting #stitchedbysusan

Pattern designers need quilts to be quilted too!

Amy Smart is the force behind “Diary of a Quilter”, and she’s sent me this sweet starry Christmas quilt for a freehand quilting finishing touch.

I plan to quilt my Crazy 8s design - free motion, of course! - and it’ll be done as a live stream from my studio. As always, I'll be quilting in real time. No edits, or speeding up.

I'll chat through:
loading the backing
choosing the batting (and I’ve got a treat in store for Amy!)
the actual freehand quilting, and squaring up the quilt as I go
my favorite (rather magical) marking tool

Amy’s a great quilt piecer, so this quilt has no particular challenges. It’ll be fun to have plenty of time to chat with viewers when I know all the seams lay flat, etc 😉

So bring your comments, questions, and stories - and your own project, if you like.

Make yourself a snack, and let’s have us a virtual quilting bee ❤️

The quilt pattern is available on Amy's website right here:
