Deb Louie

I mentioned the other day that I've been at a 3 day machine quilting/applique course at Amitie. The teacher was Deb Louie. Boy, does this woman know her stuff! Not only is she a fountain of knowledge with all things quilty, but she also knows most domestic sewing machines inside and out. You may remember that my hubby bought me a Janome Horizon not long ago? Well, it's been sitting around gathering dust lately. It's been a bit tough getting to it when I've got 2 demanding sons to deal with. It was awesome to dust it off and learn some fabulous things I can do with it. Here are some pics of my learning curve.

I highly recommend going to her class if you can. Even if you have already done freemotion quilting. She has all the magic tips. Those tips fixed every problem I was having with freemotion. Plus the addition of the machine applique, I see myself sewing up a storm with the stash that I've been accumulating!
