Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this quilting class:

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)

  • 3 quilt sandwiches, approx 16-20" square each, made with solid fabrics. You can pin baste or glue
  • 50wt cotton thread in a color that contrasts with the quilt sandwich fabric color
  • Small scissors or thread snips
  • Notebook and pen/pencil
  • Quilting gloves (optional)
  • Marking tool (optional)

    Yvette was great - very talented, friendly, patient and clear in her instruction. I would have liked for the class to be a little faster-paced.

    I had such a good time and I learned so much in this class. Though I was terrible at it, our instructor Yvette was patient and encouraging. She gave all of the students attention, shared amusing stories and gave context to concepts we learned apart from an entire project. I have a long way to go but working with Yvette really made me feel like I can do this with lots of practice. Lol! I will be taking more classes with Gotham Quilts.

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...
