Free basket weave quilt pattern
Hi ,

Last week we shared the new Basket Weave quilt pattern and over 3000 quilters downloaded this pattern from around the world!


But piecing the quilt top is only half the process. How do we quilt it?

This week I have a brand new video to teach you exactly how I quilted my Basket Weave quilt with a super easy design.

The best part of this video tutorial is I used both walking foot quilting and free motion quilting to machine quilt the surface quickly and simply. Click Here to find this new video now.
What Helped Me Quilt This Quilt
Affordable Sewing Table
While watching the video, you may notice how much I had to shift and re-position the quilt, especially while walking foot quilting. I was able to move the quilt quickly and easily because of the flatbed sewing table I use for machine quilting.

* Flatbed sewing / quilting surface makes sewing and quilting SO much easier!

* Easy adjustable flatbed surface ensures any machine will sit flush with the table top.

* Super large cut out accommodates all home sewing machines, even the Bernina 830 and Janome Horizon.

* Rubber wheels for easy transport to workshops.

This small, sturdy table will get your machine on a flush surface and make machine quilting feel so much easier, no matter what size machine you have! Click here to learn more about this Affordable Sewing Table.
Beautiful Quilting with Matrix
Matrix Quilt
Our feature machine quilting design this month is Matrix, a super easy, wiggly grid design.

Yesterday I got a ping on my Instagram feed from a quilter called Ktigger2 who used Matrix to machine quilt her latest quilt, pictured at left.

This is so awesome! Matrix was the perfect design to quilt over this scrappy quilt and add movement and interest over the surface.

Not only is it a gorgeous design, it's also super easy to quilt with your walking foot.
