I'm so enjoying this quilting time and the learning of FMQ that is going with it. I am however going to cheat and share two of my favorite tutorials. My first is by Lori at the
"In Box Jaunt" where I have learned so much about the different Free Motion Quilting finishes available . She is making this fun for me, when it used to be so stressful. It's like, no more fear of ruining my quilt and instead, what can I do next. It's all about the learning curve for me and the ones I have found here are not steep.
This Particular tutorial is what I have picked out as the FMQ pattern for one of my quilts for H2H.

I have found Lori to be inspiring and helpful. She is a beautiful quilter. You will want to check her tutorials and blog out.

My second tutorial is for a flanged binding that will finish my second Hands 2 Help quilt.
I found this so easy for me to do the first time I tried it. This binding gives anything you put it on that extra "umph". Potholders, purses, mini quilts, place mats, you know "anything'.

Have a safe and blessed Easter Day.
Both of these are great tutorials! I have a lot of catching up to do now that we are back from vacation but I'll get on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Hello, I wish I knew how to quilt, as soon as I learn to play the piano, quilting is on my list...
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Roxy
Very helpful tutorials. 'Will definitely check them out :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always telling myself that I've got to learn to FMQ, but for some reason I just don't take the time. I do like looking at Lori's tutorials, though!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely check out the FMQ tutorial. It is stressful to me also. Is the second Susie's Magic Binding? I love that method too.
