Description
Learn how easy and satisfying it can be to write in beautiful cursive or script on the surface of your quilts. Whether you simply want to sign your quilts in the stitching, tell your personal story or share your world view, writing on your quilts using easy-to-master, free-motion stitching techniques will give you the opportunity to add very personal touches to your work.
In this class, quilt artist, Heather Thomas, will teach you:
– How to determine the size, scale and spacing of your lettering
– How to fit your selected words on the surface of your quilt
– How to use a four-pass method that will yield tidy results with tight edges, fancy curls, areas of thread painting, and lots more.
After stitching through this class with Heather, not only will you be able to write beautiful sentiments in the borders and body of your quilts, you’ll be able to stitch out beautiful monograms, too.
This class is for any skill level and any stitchers who want to add more pizazz to their work. Included with your class is a sample alphabet lettering guide for your next project using free-motion script.
