Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Free Motion Quilting a Sampler »
Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Funky, Mod

Materials

Various quilting cottons, silk, poly and cotton decorative threads, cotton/poly batting

What was your inspiration?

The quilt top was constructed for another non-Craftsy class but the final instruction was "quilt as desired." It sat for 2 years since I had no clue what to do with it. It was difficult to construct and I didn't much care for the result. My inspiration was Leah Day, the FMQ Project and this course.

What are you most proud of?

I am proud that it is no longer a UFO. I am proud that I found the courage from Leah to choose bolder threads. I am proud that there is no stippling!!! I am proud that I didn't stop to rip out every mistake.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I consider this a FMQ project and I would advise anyone who takes Leah's course to just go for it.

The quilt is beautiful, but the FMQ is absolutely gorgeous. Leah is fabulous I am really excited about this class. I have finished my first 3 blocks, and hope that I can improve with each one. Thanks for sharing with us.

Merci beaucoup. Mon franais n'est pas bon, mais j'ai pu lire votre commentaire. J'ai un Bernina 830 et je n'utilise pas le BSR. Je l'ai chang revenir mon revendeur pour d'autres pieds de biche. J'utilise le pied-de-biche n 24. Je crois que j'ai plus de contrle. Je utilise le Supreme Slider et mis ma longueur de point 0. Le 830 n'a pas correctement avec le feed dogs vers le haut. Je fais ce que suggre Leah et essayer diffrents rglages jusqu' ce que le point est satisfaisant.

I love your quilting, it is very precise and very nicely done. Whitch kind of sewing machine do you have ? If it is a Bernina, are you using the BSR ? I have myself a Bernina QE440 I did not manage with it. I prefer to quilting with Leah settings ; stitches lenght 0 and feedogs down or up, I did not notice a big difference after few days of quilting (J have translated in english my message in french because the message went through in a funny way, with many mistakes. thank you

J'aime beaucoup votre quilting, c'est trs prcis et trs rgulier, Quelle machine possdez-vous ? si c'est une Bernina, utilisez-vous le BSR ? J'ai moi-mme une Bernina QE 440 et je n'ai pas russi l'utiliser correctement, je prfre quilter avec les recommandations de Leah ; c.a.d. longueur de point 0 et griffes d'entrainement en haut ou en bas, je n'ai pas constat de diffrence significative aprs plusieurs jours de quilting. Vous pouvez me rpondre en anglais, j'ai prfr crire en franais pour une meilleure comprhension. merci
