I tried free motion quilting all day yesterday and I am in need of a teacher. I want to quilt my own quilts but after yesterday, Id pay $150 in a heart beat to have someone else do it.
I will be moving to Virginia Beach, VA in December. I guess there is no reason for me not to take a class now in Memphis. So Where do I look for classes? |
I've taken quilting classes at local quilt shops. Many of them have websites with class schedule. Check the ones in your area and see what they are offering.
|
check with local quilt shops, joannes, hobby lobbie, what ever is around and any local guilds/sewing groups. also machine dealers at times offer technique classes.
|
I know our LQS does classes.
|
I took a class from a LQS (very good and got me going) later took another class at a different LQS and picked up a few more pointers. There are also some good videos on the internet, and many books available.
The main thing is PPP - practice, practice, practice. It will get easier. |
You are moving to the area that I grew up it. It is beautiful there!http://www.sarahsthimble.com/ClassSchedSpg2010.html
http://adifferenttouch.com/ http://addictedquilter.com/Classes.html - has a class called How Do I Quilt This? might be interesting |
Your Local quilting shop should be of great help there.
|
I'm going to take one at a place that sells machines.

How do I quilt this...does sound like a fun class. PPP made me want to take a baseball bat to my machine yesterday. I had to keep reminding myself that it was me...not the machine. |
