Marge Tucker

Unmarked – Contemporary Walking Foot Quilting

Two day workshop August 14 & 21 – 10am to 1pm each class

Marge Tucker

You can do so much innovative quilting JUST with your walking foot!  I will show you my method of quilting with your walking foot that involves little or no marking but still results in spectacular quilting. I start with the basics, such as batting choices, thread, needles and how to secure the quilting stitches. Then, we start quilting with straight lines and move to curved quilting lines and spirals on your practice quilt sandwiches. For both the straight line and curved quilting, I will show you many designs and variations you can use to great effect. I will also have some of my quilts as examples, including “Burst” which received the award Best Machine Quilting (Frameless) at QuiltCon 2019. This class will change the way you think about your walking foot!

Marge received “Best Machine Quilting” at QuiltCon 2019 as well as “Best Sewing Machine Workmanship Award – Modern” at the Pacific International Quilt Festival in 2019 as well as numerous other awards for her quilts. Marge teaches throughout the United States and also from her studio in Rockland, MA. 

The Cost for the workshop is $35 for PVQA members, $55 for non-members.
