Using your domestic machine to quilt beautiful background fillers and designs.

It is always so rewarding when you enhance your projects with free motion quilting. A simple repeated design can give lots of texture to your quilt. By lowering your feed dogs and gaining confidence with moving the fabric under the needle, your patchwork and appliqué projects take on a whole new look. It is a skill that improves with practice. An excellent way to gain confidence is by quilting fabric panels. Here is a panel that incorporates very simple quilting, mainly stipple, loops and curves. With practice you can combine these elements into smooth flowing designs.
