In this workshop, you will learn how to custom quilt blocks and borders continuously throughout the whole quilt, enhancing the piecing and making your life easier -all at the same time!

Let's tackle that quilt top with fun, easy, and beginner-friendly custom quilting!

We know "beginner friendly" and "custom" do not go together very often, and you'll be even more surprised when we add that: even experienced professional quilters love this method at a jaw-dropping level!

Oh, I know "method" does not evoke "fun," but if the method does: 1. allows you to enhance the patchwork of your quilt; 2. accommodates your skill level to an ever-beautiful quilting finish; and 3. makes free motion quilting easy, fast, and fun. Well, I'd say: give it a try!

So bring your quilts, may they be modern, traditional, or anything in between and abroad, and let's Skip the Ditch with the easiest custom quilting ever!!

Beginner to advanced free motion quilter: have to be able to load the backing/batting/top to the longarm machine, move and use it to do (basic) free motion quilting, and prepare a quilt top previously class.
The class will happen on a longarm/framed machine but all the concepts, ideas, designs, and strategies can easily be translated to domestic/sit down machines as well.

Have you ever had the most fear of machine quilting? Or even put the finish of that quilt “on hold” because you don’t wanna ruin it?

Do the machine sounds make you shiver?
Every attempt to FMQ you ever had turned out to be blorbly lines and despair?

Fear not, we have the perfect solution: Let’s quilt monsters!
Let your moves break free and start having fun with free motion quilting!

You’ll gain control of your movements, lose that fear of every.single.aspect of quilting, and get home with a cute crew of new friends!

Understand proportions, placement, scale, and other design elements while having fun!

In this skill-builder workshop, you will leave the class feeling confident and joyful about free motion quilting and ready to kick off your free motion quilter career!

😍"Thank you so much for your simple, yet wonderful designs. Each one I view makes me want to go try them out. I quilt for others and am so excited to give them a try when I can :D"

😎"I love the idea of quilting in a way that flows through the quilt while accenting the blocks and making it look really special."

🤗 "My favorite thing from Orbital Quilting is the innovative approach that takes away the fear of FMQ"

🤩 "I like the friendly way you explain the designs and make it easy to follow, your enthusiasm is contagious"

😍 "I like how you explain and show how to create the design first on the Orbital Board and then show how to stitch it out. Helps to see the components of the design to understand how you'll be stitching it out."

👌 "Natasha's extremely clear instructions as to how the design was drawn and her slow actual quilting on various types of machines. She stressed the importance of fun in machine quilting which it has become with what I learned in your course. I can't wait to get to my quilt and try the designs."

🔥 "I LOVED seeing the back of the quilt when it was done. It was so beautiful and it was a clear and concise design by itself. Each block was unique. A feast for the eyes. A bonus whole cloth quilt on the back."

🤩 "The two of you and your way to teach your method. Additionally that it is possible to quilt a quilt “in one continuous seam”. Oh and the board to draw on real size quilt block *wow*"

👏 "I enjoy the personality of the girls so much; they make it all a fun experience. It still amazes me that they just picked up the quilt machine and taught themselves all this beautiful orbital quilting"
