DSMQ003 - Take your Free Motion Quilting to the Next Level

NOTE: Materials fees are required for some workshops. These fees are paid directly to faculty and are not part of your registration fee.

Seats Available?: Sold Out

Required Supplies:
- Thread (please use thread for machine quilting – not “all purpose” thread). A color slightly lighter or slightly darker than your fat quarters should be fine – a little contrast is nice but a lot of contrast can be visually jarring for beginners. Christina recommends Aurifil or Wonderfil Konfetti.
- Quilting gloves (Christina uses Fons and Porter quilting gloves)
- Curved basting pins (or your preferred alternative, to use below when making quilt sandwiches)
- Small scissors - shared scissors will be provided but you may wish to have your own to maximize class time
- Temporary fabric marker or fabric pen or fabric pencil
- Notebook and pen for sketching (the larger the better)
- 3 fat quarters about 18” x 20”(solids are best for these exercises to enhance visibility)
- 3 pieces of batting 20” x 24” each
- 3 pieces of muslin or waste fabric 20” x 24” each

Optional Supplies:
- Sometimes quilters need to sit up a little higher for comfortable free-motion quilting. Bring a firm cushion (or a folded up quilt!) to sit on if you would like this option.
- Book: Free-Motion Combinations by Christina Cameli

Prep Requirements: Before class, use the above fabric, batting, and muslin to make and baste three quilt sandwiches. For each, use a fat quarter on top, batting in the middle, muslin on the back. You can baste the way you prefer – I use curved basting pins, about 10-12 pins per sandwich.
