Tuesday Tutorial ~ Quilting Helps

I currently have two quilts basted and three flimsies in need of basting.  Since I have a lot of free motion quilting in my future I thought I’d share a few tutorials with tips on quilting your quilt. I really love big stitch on quilts. It takes a little more time but I love the impact it has. Sherri has a wonderful tutorial on this method.

It I’m going to be repeating an image in my quilting I like to cut it out of contact paper. This allows me to repeat the image uniformly throughout my quilt.

This method works well with baptist fan. To learn how to cut your arcs check out this link.
