Kaye Wood does a nice job with this video on Free motion Machine Quilting. It is 26 minutes long but it is well done. If you don’t need more demos on Machine Quilting, you should still watch the first 5 minutes. They give a great tip for keeping your fabric from getting all twisted up in the wash. Click HERE to watch the video.
