DVD - Patsy Thompson: Free Motion Fun With Feathers!, Volume 1

If you’ve ever admired machine quilted feathers and wished you could stitch them yourself, then this instructional DVD is for you! Beginning with a tutorial on marking the quilt sandwich, this DVD guides you through stitching freeform feathers, feathered hearts, whimsical feathers, and feather embellishments with decorative threads. The tutorial then turns to feathers with a stitched spine and curley-cue feathers with a stitched spine, and then a discussion on ThreadPower…the use of thread as an additional design element in your quilts. It rounds out with a final discussion on uses for feathers in traditional quilts, contemporary quilts, and in art quilts. With such a versatile design element, what quilter wouldn’t want to learn the art of machine quilted feathers?!
