This past two months, I have been quilting up a storm...while using my walking foot. Yes, I feel terribly guilty for cheating on my free motion quilting foot, but it's for a wonderful cause as I've been whipping up class samples for my new "Walking Foot WOW!" workshop.
In this workshop, you will create a walking foot sampler as you learn how to create beautiful, modern quilted texture--all with your walking foot!! We'll move beyond the basic stitching in the ditch and explore decorative stitches, repeat patterns and even gentle curves to create drama and eye catching quilting designs to your unfinished quilt tops!! In this jam-packed workshop, we'll start with some walking foot basics to set you up for quilting success, before moving onto four groupings of designs:
- Walk the Line (lines, stars, rays and starbursts)
- Hot Lines (matchstick, grids and chevrons)
- Fancy Lines (decorative stitches)
- Spinning Lines (spirals)

Love your array of samples and seeing all that can be done with a walking foot. As someone who is still only getting to grips with free motion quilting as my home machine is quite small and really does not lend itself to easily fmq on larger quilts it's always interesting to see lots of different ideas for walking foot quilting. I find that inspiration for this for this type of quilting is often very lacking when I go looking for it so it's lovely to see these ideas.
ReplyDeleteAwww...thank you Paula. I wish I had known about these designs much earlier in my quilting career...as they add so much beautiful texture and aren't as intimidating to learn as free motion quilting!! I hope you can join me for one of my Walking Foot WOW! workshops.
DeleteThese look great! I especially love the square spirals. I'll have to show these to my son. I think he'll especially love the "fancy lines" he used some decorative stitches when he quilted Rainbow Swift.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah...I am rather fond of the spirals too. I can't wait to see how your son incorporates some of these designs into his future quilts!!
DeleteThese are beautiful, Mel!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pauline, I certainly hope you can join me for a Walking Foot WOW workshop!
DeleteWalking feet don't have to be boring! These look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just keep pawing at them, as I just love the texture and design!!
