I spend most of my time machine quilting and am always learning more about it. I've read Pat's book through several times already, and I know it will live on as a reference in my sewing room. She presents excellent information about preparing your quilt top for quilting, basting, thread choice, tension, and so much more!
I spend most of the winter quilting in front of my fireplace and I have picked several projects from Pat's book to keep me busy until spring arrives!
Pat teaches how to practice quilting using decorative stitches.
I think I hear a few jelly rolls are calling my name!
She teaches how to free-motion quilt:
Pat also teaches some fun techniques like spiral quilting with your walking foot as well as combining quilting and applique:
Martingale is giving away 5 copies of Pat's book (ebooks for non US residents). Click HERE to enter the giveaway by December 1, 2016.
