I took a class for $25 at a quilt shop. Brought home lots of samples and ideas. I believe the main thing about quilting on a sewing machine is PRACTICE so you can learn to regulate your stitch length and move smoothly. There's lots of info on the internet if you just search a while. And I have gotten books from my public library. Also, I've bought them at Half Price Books very reasonably. By the way, I've not machine quilted a project yet. I'm still PRACTICING, but I'm going to try it on some placemats my daughter requested (soon, whenever that is).
