Are you looking for a fast and easy way to finish a quilt top?
Perhaps you’ve just completed a baby quilt and don’t want to spend a lot of time or money finishing the quilt…
Here’s the perfect solution—Tie the quilt with a simple free motion quilt motif in every square or corner.
The most common way to tie a quilt is to use yarn and a large needle to hand tie a knot every 4-10 inches in the layered quilt.
For the free motion method of hand tying a quilt: choose a simple free motion motif (or several) and stitch the motif in place of a yarn knot.
This method is perfect for baby quilts or any quilts that you would like a little fluffier.
It’s fast, fun and a perfect way to gain confidence with free motion quilting…
Try The Sailboat, The Tulip, Tommy the Turtle, The Shamrock free motion quilt motifs
