Master One Movement and Open Up a World of Design!

Free motion quilting is all about coordinating your movements with the speed of the machine. With a bit of practice, you’ll be able to produce graceful designs with even stitches (get tips for even stitches here).

For quick progress, master one basic motion and build from there. In the following video Carolina Moore demonstrates how to make loops and turn them into eight quilting designs.

Loops are easy to learn and to master. The movement required will allow you to make fill designs, pebbles, and border designs from loops of various sizes and configurations. From there you can go on to feathers and more.

This is a great place to start or to refresh your skills with free motion quilting.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
