Free-Motion Quilting Frames: No Fancy Software Needed

Free-Motion Quilting Frame: A design or template that provides a structured space for free-motion quilting. Used for planning, practicing, and perfecting quilt motifs, it serves as a guide for stitching with confidence—no fancy software or artistic skills required!

Do you ever sit down to free-motion quilt and freeze up, unsure where to start? You’re not alone! Many quilters struggle with planning their designs, leading to hesitation, uneven stitching, or frustration. But what if you had a guide to help you map out your quilting motifs with confidence?

In this class, Jen Eskridge teaches you how to create free-motion quilting frames—simple, structured templates that help you plan, practice, and stitch with ease. Even better? You’ll use software you already own, like MS Word or Google Slides, so there’s no need for pricey design programs or advanced tech skills!

Discover how to design, print, and scale quilting frames to fit your needs. Learn how to adjust your designs for different sizes, use the Tile Pages feature for fabric transfers, and gain the confidence to stitch without hesitation. While this technique pairs perfectly with Jen’s book, Free-Motion Framework, it’s also a game-changer for any quilt block or wholecloth design. Whether you're a free-motion beginner or a seasoned quilter looking for a fresh approach, this class will give you the tools and confidence to design and quilt like never before!
