Viking Foot Club: Free Motion Quilting
Do you use a free motion Floating foot or a free Motion Spring foot? It is mostly a matter of preference, but come with your machine and try out the different free motion feet we have here (or bring what you own). Joan or Jerry will be on hand to give you technique advise and share some of their quilting expertise. As usual, there is a choice of night or day. Sign up early; you don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn or improve this quilting technique with one of our resident quilters!
Bring your machine, new quilting needles, thread, free motion feet, and several fabric “sandwiches” of top and bottom fabric, and warm & natural (or similar) batting in the middle (about 12″x12″)
