Do you want to join me in all the fun? Great!!
How about “the sew mama sew” giveaway day!!
How about the chance to win a Free Motion Quilting Kit!! I am having so much fun with my 30 days of FMQ practice, that I thought I would share a FMQ kit that I put together (Kit also includes the Supreme Slider, not featured in this picture).
- Beginners Guide to Free Motion Quilting. A great book with plenty of examples!!
- Simplify Aurifil Thread 50wt. I love Aurifil thread when FMQ, it makes all the difference.
(Picture Source: Camille Roskelley Blog) - Machingers Gloves. I have tried three different types of quilt gloves and these are just in a different league. Wonderful!!
- Supreme Slider. This sheet reduces friction and allows the quilter to move the quilt easily.
This whole kit is worth ~$85 USD.
I will choose the winner at random using random.org. This is open for everyone; USA based and internationally (shipping will be covered by me). The giveaway is open until May 16th @ 5pm PST.
So, to enter just leave a comment telling me “What FMQ technique do you like or want to learn”. If you are a follower, you can leave a second comment letting me know.
Have fun!!
*Note: I usually try to reply to all comments but may not be able to do so due to the volumes of a giveaway.

And the winner is:
which is Pauline Perry….I will email you tonight for your details. Congratulations!!

101. I’ve only FMQd one quilt, and that was because I was forced to do it. I think the thing I understand least is where to go. As in, where to go next, in an overall quilting pattern like loops. Thank you for this giveaway — it would surely be useful to me!
102. I follow you via Feedly, thank you!
103. I’d love to learn the basics of FMQ… I tried it once and got so frustrated with how my stitches turned out on the back of the quilt that I never tried it again. But I secretly want to learn!
104. I want to get pebbles that are round instead of jagged! And finally master the art of getting my tension right so I don’t get loopy backs.
105. I’m a beginner to free motion quilting, but I would love to learn to do leaves and vines.
106. Following on Feedly!
107. Oh, and I follow you, so while I’m at it, a chance to get geometrics a bit more evenly spaced.
108. I want to learn how to FMQ, period. I’ve always been a little intimidated by it!

110. I would love to learn how to FMQ feathers!

123. My bernette machine has only about a seven inch throat space, so I favour doing designs which I work on going backwards and forward rather than moving sideways. Maybe a supreme slider would make it easier for me to do horizontal designs?
124. Long time follower on bloglovin. Thanks for the giveaway
125. I would just like to be able to do it. Last time I tried it, I sewed through my finger!
126. Also, already a follower. 🙂
127. I want to get better at stitching words into my quilts. I can make the script but have trouble filling in space in a way that does not make it difficult to read the words.
128. I want to learn how to make my stitch lengths even! They always end up looking crazy!
129. I am a follower via bloglovin!
