Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Beyond Basic Machine Quilting »

Instructions

Thoroughly enjoyed Ann's course and although haven't got to doing her panel, I created a cushion using piecing technique and wanted to do some of the sample quilting stitches from Ann's course on the reverse. Am ready to try and create the panel now.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Casual


Materials

Hand dyed cotton fabrics, YLI thread

What was your inspiration?

I am trying to improve my free motion stitching and gain confidence to do an all over panel. Ann's course was really easy to follow.

What are you most proud of?

That I have control over my stitching, practice, practice practice

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This was an easy way of trying out different quilting stitches before I embark on a larger panel.
