Getting Started with Machine Quilting
One of my quilting goals this summer is to learn to machine quilt, but I'm not sure where to start. Should I learn how to use a walking foot and start with straight lines or should I try free motion first? I have several completed tops for table runners and wall hangings that I thought would make good projects to learn on. I'll be using my Brother 270D machine. (I bought this machine 6 or 7 years ago to try machine embroidery. Now I have an embroidery only machine so decided to try the sewing part of this one. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much I enjoy sewing with it!)
Are there tutorials or books you would recommend to get started? I've seen a lot of videos on FMQ but wasn't sure if that's where I should start. Besides a walking foot, what else might I need?
I enjoy hand quilting, but I think I would complete more projects if I could also quilt by machine.
Any advice will be appreciated!
