So many quilters are missing out on a really creative part of the quilting process because they are reluctant to try free motion quilting. While these are all ways to learn free motion quilting, I believe the best way to learn is in an online membership and here is why.
Free motion quilting is a journey that never ends
The free motion quilting journey starts when you decide you want to break free of “the ditch” and do something more creative. Free motion quilting has lot of variations and a huge amount of room for creativity. Striving to master those variations and use them creatively is what motivates most free motion quilters and also what makes it both scary and exciting when you first start.
Free Motion Quilting is Easy … if You Practice
Free motion quilting is like making music. You learn the basics (scales) and practice the piece (motif) then one day the rhythm takes over and you are making music on your project. Just as you can’t learn the piano by just reading a book or watching a video, you have to actually practice your free motion quilting to develop the “muscle memory” that you use when working on your project.
You Are Wasting Money If You Don’t Do Your Own Quilting
You are wasting money if you don’t do your own quilting on your projects. A little math will show that you could save hundreds of dollars by doing our own quilting.
