By the time you’ve finished this training, you’ll be comfortable with the technique and have the knowledge to quilt your own projects. Click on the button to get more information about the course.

You’re on your free motion quilting journey and have learned the “basics” (hopefully in the “Get Started in Free Motion Quilting” course). It’s time to practise and build your confidence in your free motion quilting skills so you can prepare to apply this technique to your own quilts. In the “Build Confidence in Free Motion Quilting” course you’ll learn new quilt motifs and complete a project that lets you apply all the knowledge that you have learned.

• Learn how to get your mind and your body ready to ensure that you have a pleasant experience when you are free motion quilting. It is not just your tools that need to be set up: you have to be ready as well so I’ve included a whole chapter on how to get yourself prooperly prepared.

• Learn designs to add to your free motion quilting motif stable that you started building in the “Get Started in Free Motion Quilting”course.

• Make the Table Topper project (pattern included) to help your apply your new quilt motifs. Applying what you have been taught in a simple but useful project is the best way to “lock in” that new knowledge.

  Remember there is no improvement without practice.
