Handi Quilter class
This evening I went to our LQS and took a class on the basics of FMQing on FMQing. WOW is about all I can say! It was so imformative and the instructor was just great! Her name was Debby Brown from Handi Quilter and she was just so great. Of course I have never been to a class before so maybe it was just a big deal to me. lol.. I learned so much and cannot wait to try out the techniques I learned.
Up to this point in my quilting I have taught myself everything I know pretty much by trial and error. I will definetly take another class after this one. If you get a chance to attend one of her classes I would highly reccomend it. Her work is simply beautiful. Sorry just had to tell someone how excited I am about what I learned . lol.. |
Sounds like you had a great time! Which model do you have? I tried out the HQ Sweet 16 at a quilt show and loved it! It would probably be the only thing I could fit in my house (if I ever get my room back). I loved how much visibility I had around the needle. So much better than on a domestic machine.

Gee, that sounds like just what I need. My dealer moved the week before she set up my HQ Avante 18, so I was alone on the learning curve too. I do OK, but knowing more than what I've learned on U-Tube would be helpful. I'll try to keep an eye out on the big cities near me for a class. Please share some of your work with the tips that go with them.

Hi, I got the Pro Stitcher HQ Avante 18 and had about 8 hours of "training" (actually I stood there while the tech guy explained everything) Haven't touched it since. Scares me to death. I'll contact my dealer and see if I can take some classes. I know that once I get going, I'll be ok. It's just the starting.

I have taken classes from Deby Brown; she is awesome, and I have her book. While waiting to take a class, look to buy her book, it is very good for new owners. JMHO

Debby led a quiltalong not long ago with a Flickr group I belong to; she has loads of good information on her blog, http://higheredhands.blogspot.com/. Do a lookup on Stop Drop and Roll to browse her terrifric how-to's.

Debby Brown is Amazing and is connected to the LQS that I bought my HQ Avante from. (She actually lives in my area) The 2 day Long Arm retreat I attended was fabulous! If you ever get a chance to take a class from her... Run... Don't walk and sign up as soon as you can.

Wow, you're getting me excited too, will have to see if she's going to be anywhere close to me!!

Don't be afraid, just jump in. Practice on doggie blanket for the local humain society.

Very cool. Sounds like a great teacher and resource.
