I know that it’s been a little quiet around here, but that’s just because I have been putting together my newest Free-motion Challenge Quilting Along….and I am thrilled that I finally get to announce it!
What is a Free-motion Challenge Quilting Along?
A FMQ challenge is a video series where I teach a machine quilting design or technique, and we work through the designs together. I think that it’s so much more fun to practice when you can participate with others!
My newest FMQ Challenge is going to include nature inspired designs.
We will be learning how to add beautiful texture to our quilts with the woodgrain design, pebbles, flowers and more!
The best part is that it’s completely free to participate! To learn more, click here to watch this live chat where I explain everything about the upcoming challenge!
I have also designed exclusive products that go along with the challenge..including a panel, coordinating fabric prints and a thread assortment. While not required to participate, it can make the quilting experience more enjoyable!
I can’t wait to go on this Free-motion Quilting Journey with you! See you soon!
did you give instructions for quilt design in the borders? I’m quilting on long arm so the borders are the first element to quilt
Can I join now and follow along on utube?
Yes you can! The videos will stay on my youtube channel for you to watch at your convenience!
I just got my new Moxie, I am very new. I think I put the panel on upside down ,probably have the woodgrain in wrong place. Is there a picture of the whole panel quilted so that I can figure out what I did and make adjustments to where every thing goes? Im kind of confused.
I love the learning process but find it difficult to figure out where to start on the long arm.
I wish this was geared a little more towards this
I’m having a glitch on YouTube when I try to get the additional tips. When I click the link, it doesn’t take me anywhere. It was like that last week as well. I’m not sure if it is just me??
While I have not been able to start the quilt panel yet (work commitments), I have been following along with the weekly videos and chats. You are an inspiration to me and I can hardly wait to get started! Thank you so much!
I have purchased the panel and thread pack for the challenge. What thread colors should be used in the bobbin? Do you use one color or switch? Do you use glide in the bobbin? Thanks
I just wanted to say. I love that you are on your own now. Your programming on YouTube is excellent. I have watched you for years . But being able to have control of your content is so much better. Please continue to do your YouTube channel. Your quilting tips for a longArm quilter are so helpful. Such a need out there. Thank you
I just finished the first FMQ woodgrain, was terrified at first, but I have to do it right? Because I bought the panel. Now its done wheyyy ! I loved it, not as perfect as yours Angela, but I did it. Now Im excited for the next class.
Are there free PDF instructions for this challenge? The ones I found are not free..just checking. thanks.
Can I use a big dream panel for this challenge?
Where is the time of the live chats for this challenge?
The live chats are at 3pm central time. You can find them on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0pG03YOX2DSwn8Se32TnNQ
I am using warm &natural batting which is rather flat; are 2 layers of batting ok with home machine?
Yes, you can definitely do that!
Are there instructions on how to put together the panel? I got my quilt and found a piece of paper that said (step 6) but nothing for steps 1-5 I’m sure I can figure it out but I’d thought I’d ask. Lol
There are instructions on how to add the borders to the panel. But since the quilt panel is preprinted, there is no assembly required. Here’s a link to the instructions: https://quiltingismytherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/FMQAL4-borders-instruction-copy.pdf
I cannot find the list of threads we will be using for each area of the quilt. I would like to have bobbins wound for Wednesday.
I have received all materials we will be using and am excited to start.
Here you go! https://quiltingismytherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Thread-Placement-Diagram.pdf
I got my panel and very excited to start learning more quilting designs and practice them with this panel..
What Aurifill colors would you use
Looking forward to receiving my panel and materials! What a beautiful project to start the spring season! Thanks Angela for inspiring us all.
I got the Flora panel….it’s modern, beautiful, and will be fun!
Yay! I am so glad that you like it!
So I just received my kit and I just realized I somehow missed clicking the option for the border. Is there anyway I can order the border for the Flora and Foliage challenge?
Than you!
Looking forward as this is my first challange and I love the panel and learning some new techniques.

Thank you for all of the pre-prep info. As usual, you make it so easy to just relax and let the stitching begin! Looking forward to this challenge!
I am so glad you find it helpful!
Is this only for folks with longarm machines?
It’s for machine quilting on a sewing machine and a longarm!
I ordered the whole kit yesterday! I am excited. I love the rose design. Your videos are so helpful and you seem so sweet! God bless you Angela and your family.
Aloha Angela, I just ordered my panel! I’m excited to get started. It looks like so much fun. I’ve completed two of your challenges and loved the results. I have the ruler panel, but haven’t gotten to it. But, I have time now to start the Flora and Foliage Quilt. Thanks so much for making free-motion quilters of us!
