Free motion quilting for beginners – from a line to an extended swirl – with commentary

with commentary!
Many of us struggled with more complex patterns because we have seen only their complexity but did not see how they are constructed. Or, we have seen how they are quilted but not how to get there. Therefore today, I want to show you how to get from simple wavy line to an extended swirls through a series of shapes of increasing complexity. We will start with a simple wavy line. Then we will exaggerate the shape till we get a loop, then a circle and a small swirl. If you know how a swirl works you can combine it with a shallow wavy line and create an extended swirl. Of course it will need practice, but once you will understand the construction and use of the simple shapes, you can quilt anything!
