Free motion quilting can be a little intimidating at first, I’ve been there! Now it’s my favorite part of quilting! Follow along in this week’s Manly Monday tutorial on how to Free Motion Quilt! We’re going to take your skills to the next level!

Hi, Rob, you have clarified some of my problems. Do you use a foot pedal or the machine auto speed and what speed do you recommend. Thank you for your time and the videos. I have made a couple of your projects and my daughters Wheaton loves the ball with the noise inside.:) Will be starting your simple strip scramble soon.. Thank you again Sherry M
How long before it becomes my favorite part of quilting ~ cuz right now, my free motion looks like cartoon drawings! Hahaha! Good thing I have determination and a sense of humor.
Hi! Could you address some of the issues we might have with a low-quality machine? My domestic sewing machine is a hand-me-down, and I’m a poor student, so like a lot of folks I can’t afford a nicer one at the moment. No free-motion accessories are available for it, and the feed dogs don’t even drop! (It does have a cover for darning purposes.) I have done some straight-line quilting that came out okay, but I got a lot of waves despite really dense basting. I even tried a walking foot, but that made the waves worse in some places. HELP!!! (Love your show, can’t thank you enough!)
