Free motion quilting at home



I just completed a quilt (I hope to share it with you tomorrow) in which I did the free motion quilting at home, on my own sewing machine. If you have been a regular reader of my blog, you know that I have typically rented time on a long arm quilting machine; the picture above is of a quilt I completed in this fashion. But I was really interested to see if I could do it at home, as I had seen it done by a couple of quilters online.

Here are the resources that I used:

  1. Hi again Laurel...I am going over your recent blogs tonight. :) I have never quilted on the machine except straight quilting. I think I'd have get a special foot with a round opening. Is that what you used? I also know you have to drop the feed dogs or cover them up. I tried years ago on a pillow top for my daughter, and the underside had horrible loops..so I never tried again.
