Would like to learn FMQ! How??
How do I get started learning free motion quilting? Looking specifically for something on-line or books that are helpful. i am not sure there is a class in my area - even if there was I don't have the time with my little ones.
I have a machine that I can drop the feed dogs and a FMQ foot. My mom gave me a 10 minute demo - but she has left again. I would love to start on the right foot with some helpful hints and technique. THANKS! |
I used this book to teach myself:
http://www.amazon.com/Heirloom-Machi...dp/1571202366/ It was very helpful. |
Try craftsy site for tutorials also YouTube .

Just jump in there girl! I taught myself by watching youtube too...other than that just make up some practice sandwiches and don't give up til you get it. The first time I tried it, I didn't think I could ever do it just right and after about 5 new tries, did my very first quilt all by myself with leaves all over it...no stopping me now!

Google Leah Day and follow along with her FMQ lessons.
|
Craftsy actually just put this class on sale for Easter; 19.99. You can also check out Leah Day's website. Which by the way is now a teacher at Craftsy.
|
I have taken the Craftsy class and it is pretty good. Now I just need to practice. I really like the Craftsy classes and have taken several including the free ones!!
|
Leah Day is great for free tutorials. Jenny at Missouri Star has a tutorial on the website, free. Just remember to practice, practice, practice!!! Like other posters said google it and you'll come up with a lot of resources.
|
Nancy's Notions youtube videos are great also.
I am also hoping to teach myself FMQ - so I'll be checking back for more ideas and resources ! |
Craftsy classes, patience, and practice....
