A polished edge-to-edge finish begins before you quilt the first row!

In this Quilter’s Playground session, we’ll explore how to measure your entire quilt and plan the size and spacing of your design so it fits from top to bottom and side to side. Because quilting on a hoop frame requires repositioning the fabric, we’ll also discuss how to account for that movement and keep your design aligned throughout the quilt.

You’ll Learn How To:

• Measure the full quilting area before you begin

• Calculate how large your design needs to be

• Plan your spacing so the design fits the quilt evenly

• Account for the sides of the quilt when working on a hoop frame

• Reposition the fabric while maintaining alignment and consistent spacing

• Finish your edge-to-edge design with a balanced, polished look

Perfect For:

QMX quilters who want to take the guesswork out of sizing and spacing designs, especially when quilting edge to edge on a hoop frame.

You’ll Learn How To:

• Plan the placement of free motion quilting designs

• Explore different methods for positioning designs

• Adjust the size and shape of a design to fit the available space

• Make small corrections while you’re quilting
