Free motion quilting allows you the freedom to quilt various shapes and designs on your projects by stitching in all directions. When free motion quilting, you are in charge of moving the quilt under your presser foot, rather than allowing the machine feed dogs to move the quilt. This method of quilting can be difficult to master at first, but one thing that can help you better achieve the lines and shapes you want to quilt is a template.

Before you start quilting any circles you must first lay out your undulating lines. Undulate means to move in a smooth, wave-like motion, which is how you want your lines to look. Quilting lines in this manner is much easier than trying to quilt straight lines or a grid pattern because you don’t have to do any measuring or marking before you start quilting. Heather shows how she starts at one edge of her quilt and stitches a gentle wavy line across to the other side. Quilting Classes, Start Quilting, Quilted Purse Patterns, Hand Quilting Patterns

Heather Thomas explains what a good stitch length should be, shows you how to achieve it as well as shows examples of stitch lengths that are too long and too short. Getting a consistent free motion quilting stitch length can be difficult in the beginning because most quilters are used to their machine determining the stitch length for them.
