An art quilt is a perfect project to practice your free-motion quilting! As you work towards completing your art quilt, see how I prepare and decide how and where to quilt my project. This is also a great opportunity to play with techniques like thread painting. You can free motion quilt on a longarm or domestic machine, but today we will focus on using your longarm machine. Come quilt along with me and check out the rest of our art quilt series to learn how you can make your very own art quilt.
