Get Ready to Practice
To practice machine quilting, you have to have something to practice on! If you want to work on the same quilt as I do, you can download the free pattern or you can get the kit which includes the fabric to make the top and binding.
Slanted Squares Free Quilt Pattern
Or you can practice along on plain fabric! Ultimately it doesn’t matter as long as you have something to practice on. Prepare your quilt sandwich using the basting method that you prefer and get ready to practice!

F.A.Q.s
What does it cost to participate?
Nothing, Nada, Zilch. There is no fee to quilt along with me and there are no required products.
Do I have to make the quilt top to participate?
No! If you don’t have the time or inclination to make a quilt top, all you have to do is prepare a small quilt sandwich. You just need something to practice on.
Does it matter what kind of machine I use for the Quilting Along?
Definitely not! I will be filming videos on my home sewing machine, but the designs that I show can be done on any kind machine. Just use what you got and join along!
What kind of machine quilting designs will we be working on?
I have tried my best to include a range of designs and techniques. The schedule is below, it will give you an idea of what we will be practicing.
