Quilt As You Go on Your Long Arm

Join Tia Curtis as she teaches you how to use your long arm quilting machine for more than just traditional quilting. Learn to pieces and quilt projects all on the long arm. Totally skip the monotony of piecing at the domestic machine and do all the work in style from your long arm. You can make small quilted pieces in this manner or make enormous bed sized quilts. Just like with any quilt making method there are a hundred different ways to do quilt as you go on the long arm. Over the past several years I have been trying out several different techniques with varying success. The easiest and best looking method is to just use strips of fabric in varying widths to make long cabin type blocks. The technique that was the most fun and mesmerizing for me was to just dump out pile of scraps and put them all together like a puzzle while I quilted them down. I have put together two different packing lists (I am a Free and Easy quilter or I prefer order) think about how you function best and pack accordingly. I will have a couple little sewing machines set up in class in case you get stuck and absolutely must resort to old fashioned piecing before quilting down.
