Special Note From Leah Day - If you're looking for a comprehesive guide to all the BASICS of free motion quilting, this is the DVD for you!

While making this DVD I really tried to think back to the biggest questions and problems I had with free motion when I was first getting started, and I really think this 2 hour workshop will help anyone get started the right way with free motion quilting.

Whether your issue is thread tension or quilting a big quilt on your domestic sewing machine, I really cover it all in this 2 hour workshop.

So join me and let's go learn how to free motion quilt!
