Are you a free-motion quilter who is looking to increase your skills? This project-based retreat takes you to the next step! We’ll explore how to create a quilting plan and execute it using many different free-motion techniques, integrating great tips and tools from the Studio Educators. You’ll go home excited to tackle your next quilting project.
*Attendees need to be able to load, thread, and tension a longarm machine.
This retreat is taught on Amara 20s (one person to a machine). However, the techniques are applicable to all HQ longarm machines.
Join us for a great overview of Pro-Stitcher Premium, including how to start, open and save designs, and navigate menus. You’ll explore areas and how to fit designs using skew and align as well as how to repeat, resize, and rotate. We’ll finish off with the ins and outs of edge to edge designs.
After this introduction, you will have the confidence to move forward with your Pro-Stitcher quilting journey.
Be sure to put “North Salt Lake” for the city.
