What is the best Free Motion Quilting Video Tutorial ??

[RiverMomm]

Ok, I am going to try FMQing again. I tried and tried about a year ago and finally gave up. I have a different machine to play around on now, so maybe I should try again.

So, I need a good video (I am a visual learner) but I am really a newbie at FMQing. A newbie, newbie.

What video online do you suggest?

I can't wait to see the opinions on this one. I'm going to try again too.

Many people enjoy Leah Day's videos. I haven't tried her out yet, but I intend to.

There are so many, not sure about best ... Leah Day comes to mind, but then she shows you on small sandwiches, not full sized quilts. I watched what I could find, read what I could find and finally just said "I've got to try it to learn." I think one of the best things I did that really gave me the confidence to finally put one of my quilt tops at risk was to sandwich about a yard or yard and a half of fabric with batting and an old sheet, a good sized sandwich to work with and just go for it. I was able to learn on a larger piece, feel what it was like to shove more than a placemat size piece of fabric through my machine, etc. The bonus - my dogs have a new quilt that they love.

Leah Day has a really good video on modifying a darning foot for FMQ. This modification does work....I tried it.

Patsy Thompson's videos are helpful.

Sewcalgal.com has a lot of FMQ info from a year or two ago featuring different FMQ people each week.

Many people refer to Leah Day's tutorials, but I have yet to see anyone recommend Patsy Thompson's. In the YouTube search box enter "free motion quilting." Patsy has 4 beginner tutorials which are easy to follow. She also offers free downloads of her various loop-d-loop patterns on her web site. Check out her info. JCY

Hi,
I can't recommend highly enough the Craftsy class by Wendy Butler Berns called Machine Quilting: Free Motion and More. I am a complete FMQ beginner and have been working through this class, and it is excellent. Wendy comes across as very encouraging, helpful and patient which is just what I need!! Well worth the $!

Can't beat a 'live' class if you can do one at your LQS. I did one with a popular and talented quilter from South Australia and learnt so much in 4 hours. After that I caught up with Leah Day's online free classes for more ideas.

She's won many prizes and is exhibiting at Paducca this year.

Here's what I did after just one lesson (and plenty of practice)
