Endpoints and Straight Line Quilting | Quilter's Playground

Описание: In this Quilter’s Playground session, we start with Needle Little Help, our Q&A segment focused on one of the most misunderstood—but most important—parts of quilting design: endpoints.

We’ll talk through what endpoints are, why they matter for professional-looking quilting, and how to confidently handle transitions, travel stitching, and stitch securing so your quilting flows smoothly and looks intentional.
Then we move into our main class topic: straight-line stitching on different frames. You’ll see demonstrations of how to achieve clean, consistent straight lines using channel locks, rulers, and proper setup techniques across multiple frame styles.

If you’ve ever struggled with keeping lines straight, spacing consistent, or knowing when and how to use channel locks, this class is for you!

✂️ In This Class You’ll Learn How To:
• Understand and manage endpoints in quilting designs
• Decide where designs should start and finish

• Stitch clean, consistent straight lines on different frames
• Use channel locks effectively for precise straight-line quilting

Perfect for quilters who want to build both design confidence and technical straight-line skills.
