If you have ever shied away from quilting on your own (who hasn't), this book is the right tool to give you the confidence to free-motion quilt from on home machine. The book starts with the basics, thread selection, required tools to free-motion quilt on your home machine and assembling your quilt.
Once you are prepared to begin the quilting process, Natalia takes you from simple to ornate. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Natalia has deemed quilting a family affair and I couldn't agree more. My journey as a crafter started early. I grew up living in the country with little to do and not much TV to watch. My granny taught me to crochet the chain stitch at Christmas when I was five years old. I would sew skeins and skeins of thread in just the chain stitch. When I was seven she taught me to do the single crochet and by 10 years old I was reading patterns, making afghans, stockings and booties for anyone that would let me. I took a sewing class in middle school but didn't get the hang of it quick enough. I was finally able to muster the patience to embrace quilting at 25 and have been hooked since.
Quilting is a family affair both off and online. The rich online community of crafters and quilters inspires my business and has sparked friendships across the country and the world. This industry is a unique one and I'm so glad that Fat Quarter Shop is a part of it.
Be sure to follow along with the rest of the tour for more fun. There will be a giveaway on each stop, so don't miss out!

ReplyDeleteI've tried FMQ on my machine at home! I just need to practice to get better at it!
ReplyDeleteI have done a small simple quilt but I would love to try something larger. This book would be a great help!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready to start learning FMQ.
ReplyDeleteI am DYING to try FMQ on my machine. I've just finished my first real quilt top and I'm going back and forth about buying a free motion foot for my machine.
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to do more FMQ on my machine...I need to learn a bit more though. Thanks for a chance to win.

ReplyDeletethanks for this chance
I tried a couple times - but am not really happy with the results. I could use any help or advice :)

ReplyDeleteOh man do I NEED this book!! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletePaulette
I would love a copy of this book. Yesterday I finally branched out from stitch in a ditch and machine quilted a few spider webs on my Halloween wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks amazing!
Yes, I've got the itch, big time! Have been working on it this year by way of SewCalGal's FMQ Challenge. This book looks like the perfect guide.
ReplyDeleteI have only been quilting for a few months and I love it. I have done stitch in the ditch using a walking foot and now have mastered the stipple well enough to take the plunge. It's not perfect but you have to dive in at some point. I now need to try other stitches and this book sounds wonderful. I bought the darning foot and walking foot for my tiny domestic machine and it is perfectly possible to do small pieces. The larger ones will present a bigger challenge.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in learning to do free motion quilting on my own machine. I have attempted a few things so far but nothing too significant and I have a very long way to go.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I really want to learn how to machine quilt on my home machine. I am spoiled for longarm quilting as one of my sisters does it for me. Wishing all a great day and Congrats to the winner.
ReplyDeleteI would love to become more confident on FMQ!!! Three tops are waiting to be quilted and I am procrastinating this... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would really love to win this book! I have been wanting to learn to quilt on my machine but just don't know the first thing about it! What a help this book would be!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I tried it once and it was a disaster and I've been scared to try again so I haven't. Some actual guidance would be fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI bought a free-motion quilting foot for my machine years ago, but have yet to brave enough to try it. It would be great if Natalia's book bolstered my courge!
ReplyDeleteRight now I have two small quilt tops that are finished and waiting to be quilted. They would be a great place to start free motion quilting. So far I have only stitched in the ditch.
ReplyDeleteI feel comfortable stippling on my home machine but would love to learn how to do some other cool fmq things!
ReplyDeleteOh I want to learn to FMQ so bad. I played around a little bit one time and was scared to death. I don't know why it freaks me out. I guess I am just to scared to mess up my whole quilt that took so long to get togehter. Thanks so much for the give away hope I am the lucky one!

Hi Natalia, I've been quilting for over 18 yrs and taught myself to free-motion quilting on my trusty Janome machine. I was lucky at the time that the feed-dogs dropped. lol Anyway, I've taught myself how to stipple, meander and quilt in the ditch. I would love to learn to do feathers and learn how to use fillers to fill in the empty spots. I've just not come across the right book or tutorial UNTIL I was reading about your book "Beginner's Guide to Free-Motion Quilting" and right underneath that on the Jolly Jabbers blog I saw 3 photos of 9 patch blocks and they were quilted with a feather motif leaving the center block of the nine patch unquilted!! It's like DUH why couldn't I have thought of that? But then again I've been terrified of feathers! lol Anyway I'll quit babbling and pray I win your book and if I don't I hope it goes to someone that really needs it. Thank you for such a great give away! God Bless, Maria Carroll
ReplyDeleteI definitely NEED to try this! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting to learn FMQ... this book looks like an incredible reference! Thanks for featuring it and for the chance at the giveaway! :-)
