A Recap of Quilt Canada 2025 - Day 2



Inspired Free Motion Quilting

Fridays, full-day workshop at Quilt Canada 2025 was “Inspired Free Motion Quilting”.

Students learned how to use straight-line quilting (stitched with either a walking foot or ruler foot and template), to divide negative space into sections that add areas of calm to accent their free motion quilting.

They chose their favourite design from a variety of stencils to quilt the center of a table runner, then learned and stitched a simple background fill to quilt the area around the stencil.

To complete the runner, they learned how to stitch four of my exclusive, free motion quilting designs.

Everyone made wonderful progress and went home armed with the knowledge of how to complete their masterpieces.

Thank you to Husqvarna VIKING Canada for providing the beautiful TOPAZ 50, sewing and embroidery machines for my classroom.
