Many beginners think they need a massive long-arm machine or complex free-motion skills to finish a quilt. The truth? Your Walking Foot is the most powerful tool in your sewing room. In this 2-hour intensive Zoom workshop, Sarah will show you how to use this "even-feed" foot to create professional, modern, and perfectly puckered-free quilting right on your domestic machine.

What We’ll Cover:

Hour 1: The Setup & The "Big Three" Techniques

 * Walking Foot Secrets: Why it works, how to attach it correctly, and Sarah’s tips for managing tension.

 * The "Nudge" & The "Glide": Understanding how to feed your quilt through the machine without the dreaded "shove."

 * Stitch-in-the-Ditch (Done Right): The secret to invisible, stabilising seams that hold your quilt together forever.

 * Modern Matchstick Quilting: How to create those trendy, professional-looking parallel lines using your foot as a guide.

Hour 2: Beyond the Straight Line

 * The "Soft Wave": Think your walking foot only goes straight? Think again! We’ll learn how to create gentle organic curves that are incredibly forgiving for beginners.

 * The Grid & The Diamond: How to turn your quilt into a geometric masterpiece using simple marking tools and your walking foot's guide bar.

 * Navigating the Bulk: Practical strategies for "rolling" your quilt to fit through a standard machine throat without breaking a sweat.

Why This Class Works:

 * No "Darning" Required: We aren't dropping the feed dogs here. We are letting the machine do the heavy lifting.

 * Precision Focus: You’ll learn how to keep your layers perfectly aligned, eliminating those annoying ripples on the back of your quilt.

 * Small Scale, Big Skills: We’ll practice on a 12" to 18" "quilt sandwich," so you can master the movement before tackling a King-size bedspread.

Is This Class For Me?

If you’ve ever had your top layer "push" forward while sewing, or if you have a pile of quilt tops waiting to be finished, this is your breakthrough moment.
