Free motion mastery in a month (4-3 hour classes)
ReNae Merrill has developed a technique to help you master free motion skills as you work on a quilt-as-you-go project. Using ReNae’s book, this class will meet once a week for four weeks. The first week you will choose the fabric for your finished quilt and learn to use the “trainer” tool to help you learn 6 basic shapes needed for most free motion quilt designs. You will be expected to spend about 15-30 minutes per day at home getting materials ready for the next week and practicing with the trainer. The second week we will spend some time learning to outline designs on Your large motif fabric and practicing quilting some straight-line designs. Following the plan in the book, you will quilt some of your squares during the second week. The third week will be learning some designs using the other shapes, learning the basics of ruler work quilting, and then quilting the remaining blocks at home during the week. The last week will be spent squaring your blocks.
