Today Tiffany made impressive progress with her T shirt quilt. This being her first day of the free-motion stitching portion of the quilt, and this being her first free-motion experience, I did not expect that much progress would be made today; however, after putting together a small practice piece which she mastered quickly, she declared herself ready to begin--although with some apprehension. By the time she put the quilt back in its bag to wait for the next day of quilting, she had completed nearly one third of the free-motion stitching on the inner block designs--and this with rather frequent thread changing in order to keep with the color of the blocks. Oh, and I should not neglect to mention that her stitches were much more consistent than I would have expected from one doing this for the first time. As I said, I'm impressed.

The younger my students were in the machine quilting classes, the easier it was for them to pick up free motion quilting. They don't have the doubts that we have as we get older.
