Domestic Machine Quilting: Beginning Stippling
In this class, Sharon teaches you how to create free motion stipples using her simple and efficient stipple techniques with the Quilt Halo, which gives you more support and control while you are quilting. Featured Stipples include: Serpentine (aka: puzzle, meander); Pebble (aka: circle); Echoed Teardrop; Wavy Grid; Bubble in a Bubble; and Wood Grain.
Designing for the Quilting Process:
Using graph paper and a pencil, Sharon walks you through the steps of designing a whole cloth quilt. She creates the design on 1/8th of a square and then uses a mirror to see how it will look once it is replicated. Sharon introduces many motifs including circles, feathers, radiating lines, and gridwork. She then shows you how to mark your quilt top.
