Ready to level up your quilting game? Join our Free Motion for ALL class where the goal is to empower yourself to choose and execute quilting motifs that enhance the piecing on your quilt. Discover the magic of background fillers—sometimes the secret sauce to elevate your quilt with that extra flair. Learn the basics of selecting, drawing, and stitching various background fillers, from grid-based classics to those perfect for the modern quilt style. Bring your fabric and let Nelly guide you through making your free motion quilting truly extraordinary! Check the supply list for details. Bring your own fabric; see the supply list for details.

Note: Two students will share a machine, so sign-up with a friend or make a new one in class when you join the fun! You'll be surprised at how much you'll learn between turns at the machine.
