FMQ Practice - Morphing

Learning, and practicing, Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) has been one of the most satisfying crafts I have undertaken. We are not limited to straight line sewing! Seeing the thread go onto the fabric in the way you want it to go is a wonderful creative outlet!

You also get to know your sewing machine a whole lot better. Join in on my Spring Cleaning Contest that I have going on until the end of the month. Show me your goo!

For FMQ ideas and inspiration, I keep tabs at the Free Motion Quilting Project and check out the videos regularly. It's fun to share and see the progress with other quilters.

Here are some things I have experimented with on my FMQ practice panel. I thought it would be fun to morph from one design to another. I didn't stress over it or plan it out first, just picked different designs as I went along.

Here's a trapped flower design.

Spring Cleaning Contest

Give me your knotted, your dull, your linty machines needing to be cleaned...

That's right! It's clean-your-machine contest! Get out the camera, defuzz your bobbin housing, take pictures, and share! I want to see the goo that came our of YOUR machine.

The person to have the biggest dust bunny removed from their machine will get a prize! (don't fudge your photos!) The contest will be open until April 14th. Good luck!

I'll go first!
