Unmarked – Contemporary Walking Foot Quilting
All levels, $700 (6 hours)
You can do so much innovative quilting JUST with your walking foot! I will show you my method of quilting with your walking foot that involves little or no marking but still results in spectacular quilting.
I start with the basics, such as batting choices, thread, needles and how to secure the quilting stitches. Then, we start quilting with straight lines and move to curved quilting lines and spirals on your practice quilt sandwiches. For both the straight line and curved quilting, I will show you many designs and variations you can use to great effect. I will also have some of my quilts as examples, including “Burst” which received the award Best Machine Quilting (Frameless) at QuiltCon 2019. This class will change the way you think about your walking foot!
“I just want to thank you so much for the walking foot class-I used some elements in a baby quilt.. I hadn’t been able to envision what to do in parts of it! I also know how to quilt 6 lap quilts for our comfort quilt program! It was so nice to meet you. I taught PreK-8th grade for 38 years so I know what a wonderful teacher you are. Thank you! ”
“After taking Marge’s class you will have the opportunity to figure out how to use your machine’s hidden super powers while using your walking foot. So happy that this technique is so much easier to master than FMQ with beautiful results. I highly recommend this class!”
“Marge, this class was fabulous. You were clear, informative and allowed a good balance between the ‘information, the demos, and the practice.’ It absolutely restored my ability and confidence to quilt. I have been so discouraged with free motion, but these techniques have provided me with great ways to quilt and also great, ‘take offs’ with quilting. Thank you so much.”
