This class is for beginners or for those who are stuck in stipple mode and would like to move beyond. The basics for getting started will be covered. Straight line and ditch stitching will be shown, needles, threads, tension, basting and marking your quilt will be discussed. You will free draw, stitch a simple marked pattern and learn a variety of designs, some easy, some more challenging, depending on your skill level. Lots of tips and notes for you to take home. Free motion is not difficult to learn but it does take practice to become proficient.

Rachelle will also bring a small 'show and tell' of some of her quilts.
