Click Here to check out the Qzone Hoop Frame for $1299. This version of the frame is very simple with no back table or additional accessories included.

Click Here to check out the premium Hoop Frame PRO for $1599. This version of the Hoop Frame includes a solid back table to support pantographs, a dual track with double the wheels for a smoother movement, and Hoop Frame Leader Cloth to make loading quilts faster and easier. This is the system I'm personally using for this series!

This is why I quilted my loopy line rows up a notch and transformed this design into Seashell & Waves.

To quilt this design, first stitch the Loopy Line as it's printed on the practice panel.

Now for the transformation! Echo this starting line with a new line of quilting. Swirl around the circle / loop shape as many times as you like.

This is a messy echo, which means it's okay if you don't quilt perfectly and the lines get closer together and sometimes further apart.

Keep quilting more lines, echoing your foundation Loopy Line, until the entire row is filled. You will get a LOT more practice quilting this way and will likely begin to see and feel more control over your machine moving on your frame, or your hands moving your quilt on the table top.

I'm really enjoying this practice panel from the Free Motion Quilting Starter Kit. If you'd like to join in the fun, pick up one for yourself and follow along as we share new videos each week.
