Machine Quilting/HQ 16
#1
I have an HQ 16 and live in Southern Oregon. Any suggestions of good classes to go to or books to use in trying to expand beyond stippling and echo quilting. I am very nervous about this but can tell my quilting is improving each time. I would like to eventually quilt for others but need guidance.

Do you have the HQ 16 with or without Pro-Stitcher?
Boy, are you ever in luck. I work for www.quiltcamp.com Quilting in the Desert will be here the last week of January. There will be a series of HQ classes with hands on practice. You can go to the website for more info.
Failing that, Keep looking at the HQ DVD. Make notes if you have to. I have a file of all my notes! Mostly what I did when I messed up. Then practice, practice, practice. It really does take about 100 hours of practice for anything to 'own' the material learned.
HQ does have educators in the different parts of the country. If you call or e-mail them they will give you more info. Ideally, the store where you purchased the machine should be giving you classes. Even if you have to drive there and stay overnite ... it is well worth it.
I love my HQ and intend to go to their retreats in 2011, as they are all filled up for 2010 - darn.
I've been doing a lot of charity quilting. In my quilting groups
there are lots of folk who do the piecing. I get to do some of the quilting. All it costs me is t he thread and my time.
