Are you tired of stitching in the ditch? Learn to utilize the power of your walking foot (or dual feed) to stitch “near” the ditch instead! It’s much faster and easier, yielding results that are very forgiving and more fun to stitch! Students will be empowered to embrace the beauty of imperfection as they learn to quilt their own quilts. See how a simple straight stitch or machine decorative stitch can yield so many different possibilities. Christa will also share her best practices for successful walking foot style quilting. Sewing machines generously provided by event sponsors!
