Creative Free Motion Techniques (Lori Kennedy), love the way she builds motifs that i would have thought that i needed to draw or stencil before i took her class
Ultimate Free Motion Quilting (Patsy Thompson), could just quilt the fabric and never piece anything with her ideas, lots of colour
machine quilting with templates with kimmy brunner- not on your list but this class was very helpful to create designs with rulers (she calls them stencils) - she works on a long arm so it is about the designs you would need to know how to use the rulers with your machine already
I agree with this list and would recommend adding Christina Camelli to the list. I just love her approach to FMQ - very supportive!
Ones I would recommend to NOT take is Wendy Butler Burns and Angela Walters. Wendy is too much into herself - she loves to hear herself talk. Angela is talented but a little loosy-goosey for my taste. "Close is good enough" does not work with my work ethic.
As for a step-by-step FMQ, Debbie Brown is also excellent. She is a hand-quilter teacher.
Can you tell that I've taken a lot of craftsy classes?
