Fabulous Free Motion - South - Amy Domke
Have you ever looked at a beautifully free-motion-quilted quilt and thought, “I could NEVER do that!”?
Well… I’m here to let you in on a little secret:
YES. YOU. CAN. ????
I’m Amy Domke, lifelong quilter, professional longarm quilter, pattern designer, teacher, mountain hiker, and occasional dog-wrangler (Olaf, my four-legged assistant, would like you to know he takes his job very seriously).
My quilting adventure started more than 30 years ago when a college art project sent me searching for an “unconventional” medium. With a little help from my neighbor, I made a quilt. I was hooked!
These days, I love nothing more than exploring new quilting styles, trying new techniques, and—best of all—helping other quilters discover that quilting magic is often much less complicated than it looks.
FAST, FUN & FABULOUS FREE MOTION QUILTING
Ready to ditch the fear and have some fun with free-motion quilting?
In this class, we’ll break free-motion quilting down into simple, manageable design elements and learn how to connect them into beautiful, flowing designs. We’ll talk about drawing, muscle memory, spacing, scaling, and how to travel across your quilt without getting yourself (or your thread!) tied in knots.
We’ll cover:
-
Building your own inventory of free-motion designs
-
Scaling and spacing designs for beautiful results
-
Edge-to-edge free-motion quilting
-
Adjusting your quilting path to create your own unique designs
And here’s the best part: this class is for both domestic sewing machine quilters AND longarm quilters!
I’ll demonstrate techniques on both types of machines, so you can take what you learn and put it to work on the machine you love.
Supplies: a paper and pen/pencil for note taking
