Just in time to help you finish your quilt show projects, FCQ is offering a virtual workshop on walking foot quilting!   Registration is now open for Sheri’s virtual workshop on Saturday January 15 from 10am – 5pm.  The cost will be $50 ($60 non-members) and class size is limited to 16 students.

     Do you find yourself asking “How Do I Quilt This”? In this workshop, learn practical strategies for how to plan your own quilting design along with the nuts & bolts of walking foot quilting. The first part of this program will include a presentation and trunk show of Sheri’s award-winning quilts. She’ll describe how she decides on a quilting plan that will enhance the design of her quilt top, rather than compete with it. From there, she’ll review and demonstrate how she prepares for quilting and her tips and tricks for walking foot quilting. Following the demonstration, students will practice their walking foot quilting on small quilt sandwiches. This workshop also includes a group design discussion— a show & tell of one quilt top by each student and a conversation/consultation on how to quilt it with a walking foot.  Students will walk away with skills, strategies, inspiration and confidence to complete their quilts using a walking foot.

 A sewing machine with a walking foot or dual feed foot required. Students should be comfortable with the sewing machine they will be using in class.
