Keaton Quilts @ 150 W 28th St, New York, NY
Join us for a hands-on exploration of traditional and big stitch hand quilting techniques at our workshop. Discover the art of layering, basting, marking designs, and executing quilting stitches with both traditional and thicker threads. Whether you're seeking advice on a project or honing your stitching skills, bring your quilt in progress or practice on a small sample under expert guidance.
Free motion quilting allows you to quilt impressive-looking designs that go beyond straight lines.
We’ll cover basic techniques that make free motion quilting fun to do on your machine, and teach 3 versatile patterns that you can use as all-over designs or as "custom" quilting on your projects.
Please note: This class ONLY covers the free motion quilting technique, it is NOT a "learn to quilt" class. If you're a complete newcomer to quilting, take the Patchwork and Quilting Basics class or Intro to Patchwork & Quilting class to learn all the steps in making a quilt.
Pre-requisite: Must know how to use a sewing machine. No quilting experience necessary.
Supply list: (supplies are available for purchase at the store)

Gotham Quilts was born out of the friendship of two fabric nerds in Manhattan.
We met years ago in one of Andrea’s quilting classes, when Ivete fell so hard for quilting she finished three quilts during a 6-week class!
We’ve been great friends ever since, and always talked about the store we thought...
