Imagine this...

After a few weeks of practice, you're standing in front of your guild showing off a quilt you made from start to finish. You didn't have to send your quilt top to a longarmer because you learned how to semi-custom quilt your own quilts.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Loopy meander
  • Switchbacks
  • Wishbone
  • Bowtie

My proven technique to teach free motion quilting has helped dozens of quilters take control of the creative process by finishing their own quilts.

I want that for you too!

There's just one problem

No expensive machine. No fancy tools.

No problem. If you have a sewing machine that can lower the feed dogs and install a darning foot, you're well on your way to free motion quilting success. Here's my proven three-step method:

  • Explain: I'll tell you about each design, how it's constructed, and how to use it in your quilts.
  • Doodle: Let's build muscle memory by doodling the design so your body knows how it should be done.
  • Quilt: Now it's time to go to your sewing machine and quilt the design into a practice sandwich.

I'm with you every step of the way, so you never quilt alone!

Here's the truth

You. Can. Do. This.

This is the exact method I've used to teach dozens of quilters who came to me full of doubt: in themselves and in me. By the end of the class, they are confident, love their quilts, and are eager to quilt some more.

"This was exactly what I needed to take my quilts from zero to finished with a lot more variety and confidence."

Meet your teacher

Hi, I'm Joni

I've been quilting for over 20 years, and the only thing I love more than quilting is sharing what I've learned with you. Quilting is my favorite step in the process, and my courses teach you how to FMQ in quick and compact lessons. From getting your quilt ready to go under the needle to developing a quilting plan so you never approach your machine with doubt, I have a proven method of learning that ensures you can quilt your own quilts on your own machine.

But it wasn't always this way...

My entry into quilting was a disaster! I started with the ugliest fabrics and a cardboard cutting mat. I had no idea what I was doing, and it was the grace and patience of a mentor to get me through my first two quilts. By then I was hooked and tried to learn as much as I could about this craft I loved so much.

If I can start with this as a first quilt, surely you also have it in you to learn and master the art of quilting on your own machine. I'd be so honored if you let me be your guide on that journey.

I guarantee your happiness
