    I loved the video! It was so helpful! I’m just getting started with quilting. Thank you, Sherri, for showing several different patterns. I’m a lot more confident to try free motion quilting!!

    I’m a beginner. Picking up my free motion quilting foot tomorrow. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. Can’t wait to try all these stitches! To be sure, this video will be right by my sewing machine when I do.

    Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I’m new at quilting and needed to learn a few easier free motion designs and this was the perfect class! The quilts at the end were absolutely gorgeous as well.

    There is no free motion quilting on this site. It took me to a Saudi Arabia travel site. I have decided not to continue my membership. Please cancel my subscription.

    This is the first video I’ve seen on the site and it does not meet my needs. Perhaps you can recommend a different one. I am just now attempting free motion quilting so I need clear steps to setting up the machine tension and any other prep. I have a free motion foot installed and know how to drop my feed dogs. When I tried this I end up with a mess on the back of the quilt.

    When I have tried to free motion quilting, the needle tends to hop when I stop to adjust the material. What am I doing to cause this?

    Very informative with good explanations. I am new to using a sewing machine and free motion stitching. I will be rewatching this frequently.
