Good Morning, Quilters!
It’s Tuesday and time for another Free Motion Quilt and Long Arm Quilt tutorial. All of the designs found HERE work equally well on a domestic sewing machine, like my BERNINA 770QE, and on any long arm or mid arm quilt machine!
Today’s motif, The Wagon Wheel, can be used to fill any shape or it can be used as a background fill. It is a Modern motif, but I can easily imagine it on a Traditional Quilt as well.
THE WAGON WHEEL FREE MOTION QUILT TUTORIAL
Begin by drawing any size square–or any shape. In the tutorial below, the square is 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch. Use whatever size fits YOUR quilt!
Begin in one corner and stitch a spiral.
In the center, double back on the spiral line and fill the space with a wavy line.
Continue all the way around the spiral.
After filling in the center of the spiral, use the wavy line to reach the outer borders of your square or shape.
Continue all the way around…
Fill the entire square and then knot off or stitch another Spiral and begin filling the new spiral.Careful, this one is addictive!
Just like always…Doodle First!
Hope YOUR Day is a smooth ride!
