Do you have quilt tops piling up because you're not confident about what to do next? Or perhaps you've quilted some tops, but not been as happy with the results as you expected to be?

The success of the machine quilting on a given quilt can have as much to do with the preparation beforehand as it does with the quilting step itself.

I'm here to help!

I'll share my favorite tips and tricks as we dive into the pros and cons of the many options we have as quilters.

BONUS: Exclusive printable handouts will be available for handy reference after class.

The demos and live discussion in the class will include the following:

• How to easily and accurately square up as you go.
• Avoid wavy borders.
• Understand when & why backstitching and staystitching are recommended.
• Press to make quilting easier and smoother.
• Prepare the quilt backing.
• Choose batting with confidence.
• Determine the basting method that's right for you.
• Learn step-by-step, how to spray baste, pin-baste, or use fusible batting.
• Choose a safe marking tool (if needed).
• Understand how you can use different top and bobbin threads for machine quilting to achieve the look you want.
• Match your needles to your thread for trouble-free stitching.

And as always, I will be available for questions and follow-up afterwards. :)
