Free Motion Quilting and Finishing Weekend in Hampshire
Once you have patched and pieced your quilt top, the quilting and finishing come to the forefront of your mind. Over the weekend you will start your Free motion quilting journey. Anita will take you through the set up for FMQ. Starting you off with a variety of designs that you will be practicing on 10” blocks, as the key to FMQ is practice. And taking you through hints and tips for quilting your quilts.
You will also be learning the finishing techniques to complete your quilt using a variety of binding and finishing methods. Creating quilt labels and the personal touches that give your quilt the love it deserves.
The 10” blocks can then either be kept as a reference for future quilting or put them together using the QAYG (Quilt as You Go) method to make a quilt.
