Final Thoughts And Key Takeaways

What You Will Learn?

  • Free motion sewing uses a basic sewing machine to ‘draw or paint’ with thread. It’s not only for quilting - it can be used for mending, applique, drawing, writing text, etc. This is a sewing technique with endless possibilities - great for learning to use your sewing machine in a fun new way, or if you're an artist wanting to expand your creative outlets. .
  • This class is geared toward anyone looking to get a successful start with free motion sewing, but can be enjoyed by sewists of any level - from someone with only a basic knowledge of how to use their machine, to much more experienced sewists. .
  • In this class, you'll learn:.
  • Every sewing machine is different and every sewist is, too. Much of this technique is learned through trial and error, so keep it fun and keep going with it! I will use a few different sewing machines for demonstration and offer general guidelines that can be adapted to your specific needs..
  • Please share your completed or in-progress class projects and browse the project gallery to encourage others and get inspired! If you have specific questions about your sewing machine, refer to your machine manual AND ask questions. Enjoy!.
