Do Awesome Things with Your Walking Foot

Published: Wed, 04/15/20

Hi ,

Walking foot quilting is a great way to quickly and easily quilt a lot of basic but beautiful designs all over your quilt. Learn everything about the humble walking foot in my book Explore Walking Foot Quilting.

For this week the walking foot book is on sale for $10.00 off its normal price of $29.95!

You'll learn all the basics and beyond and be ready to quilt real quilts with walking foot quilting on your home machine.

But isn't walking foot quilting boring? It's just straight lines...

That might have been what your grandma used her walking foot for, but in this book you'll learn how to quilt so much more than just straight lines.

In Explore Walking Foot Quilting I've created seven beautiful quilt projects, including a wholecloth quilt I am quite proud of, to prove you can create amazing quilts with walking foot style quilting.
