Deb tried machine quilting once, but she made a rat's nest of her quilt top and has been sending her quilts off to a longarmer ever since. Luckily, Deb's friend Georgia showed Deb Craftsy and Deb signed up for a machine quilting class. With the help of Craftsy, Deb stabilized her quilt, but fouled up the tension on her free-motion stitches. So she uploaded a photo and got advice from five newfound friends in her class. A few hours later her instructer chimed in and now Deb is off and running. Now Deb's finished her quilt in time for Christmas and put the money she saved on a longarmer toward more fabric for her stash. Craftsy.com: Never Craft Alone. [music]
