Good Morning, Quilters!
Welcome to the 2021 Free Motion quilt-a-long based on my book, 25 Days to Better Machine Quilting, and featuring motifs from my books, Free Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3 and More Free Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3. (I’m proud to report ALL of the books receive the highest, five star rating!)

Last year’s quilt a long was a HUGE success!
Thousands of quilters from all over the world participated!
While I’m not sure how many quilters finished all 25 weeks, I know everyone had fun and are better quilters. So let’s do it again!
If YOU were unable to finish all 25 weeks, this is your chance to get started again.
If YOU finished all 25 weeks, congratulations! There will be extra challenges for YOU!
It’s always good to review the basics of a new skill, and this is your opportunity to take your knowledge and skill to the next level.
2021 Free Motion Quilt-a-Long Format
Each week we will start with a lesson. The lesson is the theory part of the class. Topics will include everything from machine use /care and understanding materials to choosing motifs for better quilt design.
The lesson will be followed by a small project to reinforce the theory and to practice the skill of free motion quilting.
And because I think it is so important, most weeks will include a Doodle Lesson!
Learn-Doodle-Quilt
This is a very comprehensive course! And it’s ALL FREE!
Please tell your friends and quilt guilds about our quilt-a-long. Quilting is even more fun when you have a quilt buddy to share materials and ideas.
