![]() It not only shows you several versatile meandering designs including swirls, leaves and even improv quilting. I already mentioned that this is in my newest book, “Free-motion Meandering”, but I have to tell you that I couldn’t be more proud of it! This book is the product of all the classes I have taught. (don’t you wish that was the case with other things in life?!?) Free-motion Meandering The moral of this story is, if you make a mistake….just keep quilting until you can’t see it anymore. But when the whole area is filled, you’ll see that the overall texture can hide any imperfections.įor instance, if I make a mistake (as I prefer to call it, “an unintentional customization”) it’s going to be very obvious….such as this “oops” I quilted on this sample.īut after filling in the whole area, you’ll notice that it starts to blend in with rest of the quilting. When your face is just a couple of inches away from the quilt, it can be so easy to spot all your mistakes. But most importantly, it will help you see what the overall quilting texture will look like. You’ll learn how to maneuver around an area as well as how to deal with corners. Well, I would argue that it’s not “if” you make a mistake, it’s what you do “when” you make a mistake!įilling in a defined area teaches so much more than just learning a particular quilting design. Here’s the kicker, what happens if you make a mistake. Try doing quilting 5 minutes a day….or 20 minutes a week…whatever you think is manageable for you! What if you make a quilting “mistake”? It isn’t really about how long you practice, it’s about consistency. Now that you have a goal in mind, repeat the steps and practice until you are ready to start working on a different goal. When it comes to machine quilting, achieving small goals can help prevent you from giving up! 5. Setting just one goal gives you the ability to see improvement. But it’s very, very important to only focus on one aspect of your quilting to improve. If you are a perfectionist, it may be difficult limiting yourself to only one thing.
