Hoffman Dream Big QAL
Do you have a dream Big panel… or 3? Not sure where to begin Free motion quilting it, or what designs to use and where to accent the 3-D nature of the panel? What about how to work from the center out and handle the shift of the quilt as your work?
This class not only covers the designs you see here, but comes with a full map-out for how to quilt your panel just as I have quilted mine in the photo, petal by petal you can do the same designs a I have. Not to worry, you would work on designs first by watching me draw them, then by drawing them on your own, then you will practice quilting them and FINALLY… you will be able to quilt your panel with the confidence, that you have all the skill you need to handle this project. Once you start quilting these beauties, you won’t stop!
This is a project Based course so what you see is what you will learn and can work on a specific project till completion.
Skill Level: Beginner to intermediate
