Intimidated by free-motion machine quilting? You don’t need it to beautifully machine-quilt your own tops. Well-known teacher Mary Mashuta’s classroom-tested methods guarantee quilting success. Mary teaches you to use heavier-weight threads on the top of your machine, rather than in the bobbin, so that all your stitching is done on the right side of the quilt.
