Have you ever wanted to create a highly complex quilt design with an appliqued look but just can’t bring yourself to have to do all that fine handwork? Well this technique is a fabulous way to achieve an applique look without having to do any hand stitching at all.

Instead, you get to doodle on the surface of a quilt sandwich using your sewing machine and free motion foot. Then, just like back in kindergarten, you get to color in the lines!

In this class, art quilter, Heather Thomas will provide you with tons of ideas, drawings and skills to create some truly amazing quilts.

First she will help choose a great design to work with and show you how to transfer the basics of that design to fabric. Next, she will dispel the myth that free motion quilting is difficult as shows you how to stitch out your chosen design.

Then she will introduce you to the world of fabric paints and inks and instruct you on how easy it is to achieve delicious shading and bold luscious color as you fill in your stitched motifs and finish up your unique quilted and colored work of art.

As part of this class you will have access to downloadable assets including a complete list of supplies needed and over 60 of Heather’s designs for your use.

NOTE: You’ll receive this Class video instruction in two forms: As on-demand streaming video (in your NQC Account); and as a physical DVD, mailed to you.
