When people see Judi's quilting, they often ask, How does she do that? Find out from Judi in this informative class as she walks you through both traditional and modern free-motion quilting. One quilt design (included) gets quilted in two different approaches in this amazing class by Judi Madsen. The traditional approach includes feathers that are full of flow and design. The modern approach utilizes straight-line designs filled with fabulous details. Drawing the design is the first step, then marking the quilt so it is ready for free-motion quilting. Judi demonstrates exactly where and how to begin, walking through each step of the quilting. Learn how to make not-so-ordinary feathers, loops, double loops, a circle in a circle, swirls, pebbles, and other fills to enhance your quilts. Create one traditionally quilted piece and then one with a distinctively modern edge all in one class!

Dimensional curved piecing is an innovative process that makes it possible for quilters of all skill levels to do straight-line patchwork piecing with curved results. Learn how to add curves to your quilts the easy way by inserting folded pieces between seams, and gently peeling them back to reveal shaped secondary designs. The author has always been fascinated by curved designs, especially when combined with angular quilt blocks. Her diverse quilt patterns are arranged in order of difficulty, so that quilters are gradually introduced to this new technique. You will be intrigued by bed and wall quilts such as Patriotic Stars, Beaded Primrose, and Enchanted Rose Garden. Annette's techniques require no more than accurate cutting, some folding, and sewing 1/4 inch seams, so anyone can achieve attractive flowing design elements. You will appreciate the author's clear instructions, allowing you to make complicated-looking designs with easy methods.
