Machine Quilting for Beginners
Everything you need to know to get started!
I still remember that feeling of complete overwhelm. There I was, staring at my machine and my quilt, paralyzed by all the little decisions. What thread should I use? How do I prevent puckers? What stitch length is best?
It wasn't just about learning to quilt—it was about knowing which of the hundred little choices actually mattered.
After quilting over 1,400 client quilts, I've figured out exactly what works and what doesn't. I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to! This course isn't about fancy techniques or Instagram-perfect quilting. It's about real solutions to real choices that beginning quilters face with every project.
If you're looking for straight talk and practical answers from someone who values results over perfection, you're in the right place. I'm the queen of real-ness, and I'm here to get you quilting with confidence!
