365 Free Motion Quilting Designs has been inspiring quilters to finish their own quilts since 2009. This fourth edition from award-winning quilter and teacher Leah Day is the most comprehensive version yet, featuring two brand new quilt patterns designed to help you practice all 365 designs in real quilts.
For the ultimate quilting challenge, follow the pattern to make the 365 Free Motion Quilting Sampler. Stitch one design a day in a 4-inch square, then connect all 365 squares together using a simple Quilt-As-You-Go technique to create a stunning 76 x 76 inch sampler quilt.
Prefer to quilt on a frame? The Fun Filler Quilt Pattern is a throw-size quilt pieced from a single pack of 10-inch squares that gives you plenty of space to practice 66 designs on a larger, softer scale - perfect for longarm and sit-down machine quilting.
Inside this fourth edition you'll also find:
- 365 meticulously stitched filler designs photographed in full color
- Quick tips on machine setup, tension, and thread selection
- A brand new section on body care, ergonomics, and building a sustainable daily quilting habit
- Guidance for both push quilting on a sewing machine and frame quilting on a longarm
- Video tutorials for every single design at LeahDay.com/365
This edition also addresses one of the biggest challenges quilters face - caring for their bodies over years of quilting. Leah shares her personal journey from sewing machine to quilting frame and why investing in the right equipment matters for your long-term health and enjoyment of the craft.
Whether you're a beginner breaking out of the stippling rut or an experienced quilter building an entirely new repertoire, this book will inspire you to pick up a quilt every single day.
Quilters have called this book 'an amazing resource, ' 'just what I needed, ' and 'the best quilting book ever.' See for yourself why this collection remains the largest and most beloved treasury of free motion quilting designs ever published.
