Free Motion: Next steps (4 month series)

Class Description

This free-motion series is designed for people who have some experience with free motion and want to learn to quilt with rulers. This series will begin with straight line rulers and designs, and then we will move on to curved rulers and techniques using multiple rulers as well as free motion fillers. You are not required to take the Beginner Free Motion series prior to this series as long as you have some experience with free motion. Note: Quilting with rulers does require a ruler foot. Please be sure to invest in a ruler foot for your machine. Start this 4-month series any time you want.
