Just like penmanship, everyone has their own unique machine quilting style. In this workshop, students will learn how to form the basic swirl shape, then branch off in many different directions as they discover their own signature swirl! Ideas to explore include the wonky swirl, the flower swirl, the elongated swirl, the packed swirl, and many more. Combine swirls with other favorite motifs for even more possibilities! Students should be comfortable with basic machine quilting techniques. Sewing machines generously provided by event sponsors!
