I am interested in learning how to do free motion quilting with my standard sewing machine—can you lead me in the right direction? Thanks!
Hello Carole! I think the best way to learn is to take a class in person. If you do not have a nearby quilt shop that offers classes, you might want to visit a shop that sells sewing machines. They can show you how to get set up on your machine. You’ll need a darning foot attachment and to learn how to drop your feed dogs. I have an old video that will give you some pointers – https://learnhowtoquilt.com/quilt-tutorials/finishing-the-quilt/free-motion-quilting/ I also have some small projects that you can try while practicing; check out the second video in the quilted bag series. https://learnhowtoquilt.com/small-projects-2/quilted-gift-bags/. Hope this helps! Ann
