If you are talking about Free Motion Quilting, take a look at the website www.patsythompsondesigns.com as she is an awesome teacher of the art of FMQ. She has 7-8 minute snipets of her DVD's that you can watch to see if it is what you might like. The other lady who has a website and books is www.dianegaudynski.com who wrote the book "Quilt Savvy" which I highly recommend. Check your local library and see if they have a copy.

That is the link to a thread on this site about learning to machine quilt. It might be helpful too.

Welcome! I am learning machine quilting through books and am about ready to pull my hair out but I practice every day and get a little better with each try. I drew patterns on paper and sewed the paper with my machine unthreaded, and that helped. I have to sew very slowly to get anything right. I am doing a stitch in the ditch quilt throw today and have to rip out a lot. The book I am using says it takes about 52 hours of practice to get it right so I have about 45 more hours to go. I am sure you are more coordinated than I am. I am not giving up, the results are too gorgeous to quit. My advice is to practice and practice until you get it right. :lol:

Her directions are clear and the pictures wonderful. It just started. I think she'll include machine quilting when it is time to do so.
