I have finally figured out how to use the width of my open-toe free-motion foot to help me gauge a consistent space, but I’m still not really happy. It’s a bit of a revelation to me actually, to figure this out. I’m fully focused and (somewhat) relaxed and I’m swirling away when about four swirls in, I start to get a little bored, so I ever-so-slightly start to speed up and things quickly get sloppy (as you can see in the photo above). And texture hides a multitude of quilting missteps.īut that consistent spacing is my problem. This consistency becomes texture in an overall quilt design. The number one tip that I have heard from Angela Walters on quilting swirls (and quilting in general) is to keep the spaces between the lines consistent. But they just don’t get any easier for me. I practiced on paper, and this is not my first time around the block with swirls. Angela does a wonderful job of showing you how to form them in a very step-by-step way. And they are deceptively hard! Let’s back up here.
This week we are tackling Swirls and Swirl Hooks.
I am finding that even 15 minutes really builds skill, and let’s face it, it often ends up being quite a bit more than 15 minutes once I get going. We would love it if you grabbed a copy of the book and spent just 15 minutes a day building up your free motion quilting skills.

If your machine is listed here you must buy the correct foot. Some machines require a different shank fitting. To determine your shank size all you need to do is lower your foot and then measure the height of the centre of the hole for the screw from the needle plate as shown here. It is important to purchase the correct shank fitting for your machine. To use the rulers correctly you need a true ½ round foot. Leonie West, the Australian designer of Westalee products set out with the aim of making these rulers accessible to as many domestic machine users as possible.
