How to quilt free motion swirls - HQ Sweet Sixteen Sunday

Swirls have been one of those designs that I really struggled with... I just couldn't get them to look good, so I gave up and moved onto something else.

But lots and lots of drawing I think I have finally worked it out.

I put together this video to show you how I draw swirls. I'll put up a video as soon as I can to show you how I quilt them on my Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen. :)

I'd love to see some pictures if you give this a go, or if you need any help or want me to show you a particular technique, please send me an email... paula.storm@gmail.com or drop by the Facebook page for lots of inspiration! https://www.facebook.com/sewlittlefabricbyPaulaStormDesigns

How to quilt Free Form Feathers on the HQ Sweet Sixteen

On Last weeks 'HQ Sweet Sixteen Sunday' I showed you how I draw out free form feathers on paper for practice. Here it is again if you want a quick refresh.

This week I wanted to show you how I actually stitch them out on my Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen.

Edit: Because of the Queens Birthday long weekend and the amount of visitors and tourists in our town, I had a lot of trouble uploading this video, I had to drop the quality down really low just to get it to upload. I have tried to get the better quality video up ever since, so here it is in HD, hopefully you can actually see what I'm doing now :)

I would love to hear if you have had a go at this! Send me some pictures :)
