Average Review:
Awesome!! Truly enjoyable
I've done some free motion quilting and with this class I know now the possiblities are endless. I know all my quilts will now have new designs when free motion quilting,,,,,, just loved the class.... THANKS!!!
Exceptional Class
I have owned the book Free Motion Quilting with Anglea Walters for a while, and as good as the book is the class is even better. Angela covers all the points clearly and in a relaxed, no pressure manner. I watched the entire class in one go, and I cannot wait to watch it again, but this time in front of my LA. Great class!
Another Excellent Craftsy Class!
This class was really enjoyable. Definitely geared to modern quilting rather than traditional, heavily pieced quilting but I think that you could certainly adapt these designs to what you need. Some reviewers have commented that there was repetition and lots of drawing on paper. There was, but it was demonstrating the movements and encouraging muscle memory. I didn't have a problem with this.
I quilt on a domestic sewing machine and have been able to put the designs here to good use . ...
Great Class!
