QUILTCON 2025 WORKSHOP: Layered Walking Foot Quilting
QUILTCON 2025 WORKSHOP: Break free from traditional machine quilting using your walking foot and a domestic machine. Leave behind previous notions of stitching in the ditch or overall quilting. Approach machine quilting in an improv style, with a little planning!
PREPARE IN ADVANCE three small quilt sandwiches from provided abstract designs: these will be the canvases for your machine quilting artistry!
TAKE INSPIRATION from the piecing to stitch an initial quilting motif.
OVERLAY a new machine quilting motif, using a different thread color with new positioning, and allowing the motifs to overlap.
LAYER additional modern motifs using a third and fourth thread color to add more texture and depth. Ramp up the texture with some big stitch hand quilting.
With a very simple supply list and a little pre-prep of three small quilt sandwiches, you will explore new ways to approach walking foot machine quilting. I will also show you how to gusset join your workshop samples into a finished mini quilt!
IN PERSON: This workshop is debuting at QuiltCon 2025 in Phoenix, AZ.
