Hi ,

Our video workshops are just like real quilting class at a guild or local quilt store. I demonstrate each technique step by step for you to watch and follow along.

In fact, these video workshops are actually better than a real class because you can watch the videos over and over, pause, and rewind as many times as you need to! There's no limit to the number of times you can watch the videos and the workshop will never expire. 

So if you've always wanted to take a quilting class with me, this is your best bet!

We have five video workshops for you to choose from and for this week only, they are on sale for just $12.49 each! 

Free Motion Quilting Basics for Beginners - The best way to learn anything new is with the basics so in this class I cover all the most simple issues and questions about free motion quilting. Learn how to set up your machine, basic tools and materials to get you started, and quilt along with me through a very simple starting project so you can get the feel for free motion quilting on your home machine.

Beginner Free Motion Quilting Fillers - This is a terrific class for beginner quilters looking to expand skills with more free motion quilting designs.

We've also included thirty practice worksheets for you to practice drawing each design before you quilt it. Click Here to learn more.

Quilting a King on Your Home Machine - The #1 question I hear from quilters is this "Is it really possible to quilt big quilts on a small machine?" The answer is definitely yes! In this workshop I demonstrate exactly how I tackle big quilts from basting it in sections on my dining room table to quilting from the center with a combination of free motion quilting and walking foot quilting. A beautiful king sized quilt pattern is included for you to quilt along with me step by step. Click Here to learn more.

Waterfall Bargello Workshop - Bargello quilts are very distinctive in their intense piecing design, but they're notoriously difficult to quilt. How do you pick a design to quilt over all those tiny pieces? In this workshop I break down all the steps to piecing the Waterfall Bargello Quilt, then two methods for auditioning your quilting designs, and finally how to quilt it with a combination of walking foot quilting and free motion quilting. You'll also learn how to add some bling to the surface with decorative bobbin threads! Click Here to learn more.

Heart and Feather Wholecloth Quilt - If you've ever wanted to stitch your quilting skills up a notch and learn about wholecloth quilting, this is the class for you.

Last week we learned how to piece this beautiful Diamond in the Sky Block and this week it's time to machine quilt it together.

I decided to fill this block with an easy combination of designs: Sharp Stippling, Pebbling, and Matrix with a pretty marked sun motif in the center.

Do you have any questions about how to machine quilt this block?

Crazy as it sounds, I do respond to every question posted on the blog and on my YouTube channel. Sometimes I'll even create a brand new video to just to answer your question in detail.

I've been on a roll creating new free motion quilting designs this week and last Wednesday I shared this cool stacking design called Brick Stitch.

Now where will Brick Stitch work best in your quilts? Because the bricks stack together so evenly, I think this is a great design for the background of a quilt.

If there's a lot of complicated shapes to hop over (like applique vines or pieced star points) then I would mark lines to help you keep the bricks even across the space.

I'd love to see how you machine quilt this design! Make sure to tag LeahDayQuilting if you share a photo on Instagram or Facebook so I can see what you've quilted with Brick Stitch!

Let's go quilt,

Leah Day
