This may look like all we did was watch Gail Mitchell draw on her board but, trust me, that's not all we did. In these two pictures she is demonstrating how to locate your grid, where to start your pattern and how to proceed so that it flows into a continuous line.....ALL important points to know when free motion quilting. Once we got the information from several different patterns it was sit at your machine and sew, sew , sew. It was sooooo much fun , especially when you could see the possibilities. Now, let's face it, we did not expect to be as fluid in our sewing with curves and shapes as Gail (not me, the teacher Gail) was but you know it takes practice, practice, practice. Eventually, we will get there.
Just a little note about Gail Mitchell, ...she is a wonderful teacher. Stays on track, gets the relevant points out there and is very tactful when she comes across someone (not to mention any names, but one starts with G and ends with an L) making a lot of booboos. She gets them back on track with helpful hints and is very encouraging.
We had a great day...and here's Gail posing her
model type pose for a giggle. I don't know for sure about the rest of the class but I learned so much today. I just wish I didn't get tired and have to stop and rest up.......look out UFO's , you're gonna get done!!!!
