Machine Quilting with a Walking Foot
Explore the basics of machine quilting with your walking foot to create straight lines and gentle curves in this one day class. You'll stitch samplers using a Walking Foot. If a walking foot did not come with your machine, you will need to purchase one separately. Layering, pinning, batting, thread choices and marking tools will also be covered. With a little practice you'll be ready to complete those unfinished quilt tops!
Supplies needed:
Feel free to use fabric scraps since these quilt "sandwiches" will be for practice.

- Walking Foot and quilting guide bar. If a walking foot did not come with your machine, please check with your local dealer or sewing machine company online. The guide bar is an attachment that slides in and out of the back of the walking foot.

- (7 ) 12” squares of solid cotton fabric (these will be the backs)
