This class will cover quilting design: how to quilt different genres of quilt tops & tackling different styles of quilts and how to design the quilting that works best for the quilt. We will cover how to breakdown a quilt & take the mystery out of designing the quilting. We will navigate the amount of time dedicated to the quilting, current trends, tricks & quilting tips for success in quilting and all the tools you will need to achieve your quilting design goals.
