Learn to Make This cushion Facebook Live sessions
Hey Everyone!
So Tomorrow the 5th June 2020 is the start of a new sew along.
We will be learning the how to make this cushion, with the added bonus of how to do basic free motion quilting.
I will explain everything as i go and how i quilt ( I'm no expert in quilting but i have been free motion quilting for about 15 years and learnt a bit as I've gone along with my 20 years quilting adventure)
Trust me its really easy with practice.
How ever if your not wanting to do the free motion quilting that's OK, i will hit a little on straight line quilting to.
There will be 2 sessions for this sew along, one starting the 5th June and then another on the 8th June.
