‘Quilting Between The Lines’
Have you seen the new amazing teaching program Deborah Louie has put together? I’m so excited by it that I can’t help writing a post about all the details!
It’s called ‘Quilting Between the Lines’ and is a program of domestic machine quilting based on a one inch grid! I think it’s a fabulous way for people to learn about free motion quilting in a structured and really importantly…. bite-sized way!

About the lessons and the project quilt
The series of lessons and the project quilt builds on the DVD Deb developed for Quilter’s Companion Magazine #85 in 2017 and features the use of the Full Line Stencil’s 1 inch grid stencil and pounce powder and pad.
Do you know these products? We stock the pounce pads and refill powders in white, blue or pink and a number of different stencils including the 1” grid. Call in to the shop and pick one up if you’d like to give it a go. White powder is good for dark fabrics and the pink works well on light fabrics. Blue is best for medium or patterned designs.
My experience
Deb’s ‘Quilting Between the Lines’ project really appealed to me because I’ve never really managed to get into free motion quilting. Mostly because while I can make good progress on training sample sized pieces I always feel like a whole quilt is too big. It’s such a clean slate that I never know where to begin.
And this is where the grid comes in.. Each square is only 1 inch in size so after you’ve ditched and pieced your quilt you only have to decide what to quilt inch by inch! I really feel like learning this way could warm me up for more ambitious free motion quilting projects.

Don’t despair though… If you’re not near Berry and can’t get to classes, keep your eye on Deborah Louie’s wonderful online learning platform and website. ‘Quilting Between the Lines’ will become an online class there very soon in sure.
