This is an on-line training program designed to be run at your own pace, on your own schedule, without the normal interruptions of live or zoom classes with multiple students. Once purchased this course will be accessible for unlimited access by the purchaser for additional study and refresher purposes.
Each Module consists of 5 or 6 lessons, handouts, design downloads, and accompanying videos.
Module 1
We will get more familiar with some “behind the
scenes” things such as Preference settings, Configurations, and Terminology.
Beyond Basic Pantographs - We will start with a refresher and build to making advanced set ups or “maps”, Clipping blocks, Border to Border, and the scary “Saving” of quilts to finish at a later time!
Module 2
Pattern Editing and Design Creation – In this class we will spend
a little time on the editing tools, split, smooth, distort, shape shift
and magnet tool. The main focus will be to teach you how to use tools
incorporated in the IQ to Create your own designs, such as Pearls, a
blanket stitch, feathered wreaths, etc.
Module 3
Conquering the No Sew Zones – In this
class you will learn different approaches to the No
Sew Zone and how to handle the draw-in that occurs,
so that your block placement will be precise.
We will also touch on clipping block and fan
patterns.
Module 4
Borders – We will start off with simple “Dead end” borders,
progressing to borders that turn the corner, Symmetrical or Mirror
Imaged borders, and finally, those dreaded wide borders that need extra
fill. We will work with pattern repeat and path pattern. I will show you
how to stitch the sides without having to “turn the quilt”. You will
learn how to deal with the draw in (shrinkage) and make your designs
match up perfectly. (Stitch out will be done in custom class)
Module 5
Custom Quilting - We will stitch out a sampler
quilt and put into use all of the techniques you have learned in this
workshop. Along with using background fills, echoing, SID, and Line
pattern. This is also a great time to ask those questions you may have
to help you move from only doing Pantos and use more of the tools in
your IQ toolbox!
