Here’s a little video I put together a while back about some basic free motion quilting skills and information. Okay, let’s say you want to machine quilt your quilt yourself (sorry, I’m not into hand quilting, so you’re stuck with machine quilting). You can see last week’s post “Basic Quilting Skills for Beginners: Batting, Backing, and Preparing a Quilt for Quilting” to help you with your preparation. Next, are you planning to quilt it yourself? Or pay someone to quilt it for you? Depending on your answer here, you may need to prepare your quilt differently. The first thing you need to consider after you complete the quilt top is what kind of quilting are you going to do? Machine quilting? Hand quilting? Or even tying/tacking?
OPEN AIRY LOOPING MEANDER QUILTING STITCHES HOW TO
If you’re a beginner, how are you supposed to know what to quilt or how to quilt your quilt to finish it?
On our Villa Rosa Designs Rose Cards, we take it a step further and say “Quilt and bind as desired.” Gee, that makes all the difference, doesn’t it? NOT! But what does it really mean? It’s a designer’s way to say quilt your quilt any way you want to. If you’re new to quilting, you might have seen the phrase “quilt as desired” at the end of some of your quilt patterns. Needless to say, I look forward to the cooler fall months when I feel more productive in my studio and I get excited again about new projects. Yup, here’s my dungeon! LOL! Cue the creepy music, please! Second, my Sewing Dungeon, er….Studio, is not air conditioned, so for a couple of months out of each year, it’s hard to sew with sweat dripping down into my eyes and onto my projects. First, of course, it’s summer and I want to be busy doing other summer-y things and going places. I don’t know if you’re like me or not, but I tend to quilt less in the summer months. Here’s hoping we all have a productive autumn season - especially with our quilting. Happy Thursday to you! Leaf Background Image by on Freepik
