WORKSHOP: Layered Walking Foot Quilting – 2 Days

QUILTFEST VIRTUAL SCHOOLHOUSE POP-UP WORKSHOP – 2 DAYS:  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 to six 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 to six 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!

This workshop is a 2-day (6-hours each day) live-stream event, conducted on Zoom, consisting of live instruction (no recording, please). You should have the current version of Zoom installed on your computer or laptop. Guidance for getting started will be sent in advance of the workshop.
