Stitching Machine satin stitching with an open-toed appliqué foot is the "traditional" way to finish the edges of your fused machine appliqué designs. I've done it for years, but I always hated having to stop and pivot, stop and pivot, turning the fabric each time to change direction. What a drag! So, I've come up with this unique and "painterly" way of finishing the edges of fused appliqué. Learn tips and tricks and my special "exercise" to help you gain "free motion control" and just have a good time with this very "freeing" technique! Level: to get the most out of this workshop, you must be comfortable with the operation of your well-adjusted sewing machine. Even beginners can do this!

This informative, amusing and entertaining slide show/lecture will prove that it's true! Maybe that problem you've been having with your quilting isn't your thread, or your machine, or even your skill level -- maybe it's that needle you've been using . . .

Her quilt creations are beautiful, and her ability to translate what she sees in the world into her quilting was eye-opening... Elizabeth's website has many examples of her work, and is well worth a visit. We were so pleased to see many of her famous quilts first hand, including African Ladies, Fat Ladies series, Strawberry Fields Forever ... to mention just a few." Empire Quilters Guild, New York, NY "I just viewed your website for the first time and I must say "It's fabulous." ... I would love to take your class "Quilting Upside Down" .... I have already taken two classes with you, and you are a true professional. Educational chairs ... are you listening?" Kathy, Northern Star Quilters Guild, Somers, NY "You surely deserve great success, both for your designs and for your excellence as a classroom teacher. There, you manage to combine high standards with patience and understanding for those of us struggling to master concepts or skills. You have been a fine influence on my quilting efforts." Sharon, Providence, RI "I enjoyed your class and (want to) thank you for all the encouragement and inspiration I have received from you. You're the greatest!" Degen, Stamford, CT "You have opened up new vistas of possibilities -- your class was truly inspirational. You are a great teacher (I'm a 29 year veteran, so I know greatness when I see it) -- combining knowledge, patience and humor." Melanie, Yorktown Heights, NY and my very favorite . . . "I was an attendee at your free-motion quilting class last fall. Over the years, you have inspired my daughter (now ten, and also named Elizabeth) with your work. She first saw your work at the Northern Star Quilters show three years ago and asked me to take a picture of your quilt. You encouraged her to take a class, which she did. Just recently, I took her to (The Heritage Quilt Show in) Lancaster. Among all the quilts, she picked out "The Blue Lady" and asked me to take a photo. I smiled when I saw who had created it and asked my daughter if she knew who had made it. Excitedly, I told her that "her Elizabeth" made it. She was so pleased! Thank you for being such an inspiration!" Mary Helen, South Salem, NY

Looking for
a versatile way to incorporate decorative threads, braids and ribbons into
your surface embellishment or quilting? Bobbin quilting is the answer!
This workshop will take the mystery and fear ( -- don't be afraid!)) out of the
"underside" of your sewing machine as you learn to literally
quilt "up-side down!" Create an original wall hanging as
you explore the many exciting effects that can be achieved with thick
threads through the bobbin. In the two day version of this workshop,
students will have more time at their machines to explore different
threads, tensions and techniques. 
Discover
a whole new side to your sewing machine – Did you know you could use it
to embroider without adding any fancy or expensive attachments? Just
drop your feed dogs, and with nothing more than your own machine’s
straight stitch and zigzag capabilities, you can create textures and
designs that can add depth and interest to your quilts. Learn the skills
you’ll need to master this fascinating technique! In the full day
version of this workshop, you will create a small quilt to practice your new
skill. Elizabeth’s original pattern
will be distributed in class. The two day version of this class allows a
more thorough exploration of different uses of thread painting, and a
mini slide presentation, too!
Machine
couching is adapted from a hand-embroidery technique — and it’s so
much easier with a sewing machine! The variety of materials that can be
couched is astounding; you can couch anything from ordinary thread to
narrow ribbons, decorative serger threads, and interesting knitting yarns
— learn the secrets of couching in this informative and fun class.
In
the art world, "Line" with a capital "L" is used
to create depth and shape. In the quilting world, it can be used
the same way, and you don't have to be an artist to understand how! In
this interesting, informative and personal slide presentation, Elizabeth
will take you on a quilting journey to show you how a flowing line can transform a "blah"
design into one with a sense of excitement and motion. There will also
be an opportunity to fondle quilts afterwards!
Yes, I realize
that most people think sewing machine needles are not necessarily the most fascinating subject around .
