Chapter 1
The first step in long-arm quilting is being able to identify a long-arm machine. In the first chapter of our online class, Michele introduces herself, the long-arm quilting machine, and the mechanics of the machine.
Chapter 2
We then need to know the difference between edge-to-edge and custom quilting. In the second chapter of our class, Michele provides examples of each quilting style. She also identifies which designs each quilting style suits.
Chapter 3
The third step is preparing your quilt for quilting. In the third chapter of our class, Michele describes this process and the differences between available quilt battings.
Chapter 4
The fourth step is choosing your quilter. In the fourth chapter of our class, Michele shares some advice on finding a long-arm machine quilter who will work best for you and your quilts.
Chapter 5
We then put the long-arm machine in action! In the fifth chapter of our class, Michele shows some of her free-motion and edge-to-edge quilting skills using her long-arm machine.
Chapter 6
In the sixth and final chapter of our class we view a gallery of quilts that Michele has made and quilted herself. We also view some of Michele’s customer’s quilts with edge-to-edge and custom quilting.
