C&T Publishing sent us a great book First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting by Christina Cameli.
I have to say, I’ve reviewed lots of free motion quilting books. Of all the ones I have seen, I rank this one in the top two.
The thing I like so good about this one is that it walks you through the stitches and free motion quilting then the author offers some great fun practical projects that will allow readers to practice those very stitches. Most of the projects are small and are great confidence builders.
Here’s an example. This chair cushion is easy to construct yet gives great opportunities to practice a few of the free motion stitches.
Small successes on projects like this will give quilters the boost to try bigger and harder projects.
This little purse is my favorite project. I can see me making this for a little someone. I can also see me making it for a baby present and filling it with little fabric fish…so cute!!
Can you believe that are 24 projects packed into the book??
I’d love to show you more projects but I got mine as an ebook and it’s virtually impossible to take pictures and show the projects off.
This is great for beginner wanting to learn to free motion quilt. It’s great for intermediates who want to add a few more stitches to their repertoire. It’s great for expects as the projects are just plain CUTE!!
I’ve done quite a bit machine quilting and there were a few stitches in there that I hadn’t seen that I want to give a try.
C&T Publishing has offered to give a free ebook copy to one of our readers..want a chance?? Just leave a comment here and we’ll pick a winner next week.

This book sounds perfect! I hope I win because I want to share it with a friend who is learning to FMQ.
This book looks great. I’m just starting to explore free motion quilting and would love to see what this book could teach me. Thank you for the chance.
Thanks Jo for the chance to win.
FMQ is something that is on my bucket list to refine. I can do some but need help, looks like the perfect book to get me motivated.
This looks like a great book. I have been practicing my FMQ, and this would help me!
Thanks so much for the chance to win this book. I have been wanting to get a quilting e-book (all of mine are paper) as my husband travels for his work and I go with him from time to time. He’s very patient about taking my sewing stuff (I’ve learned to pack light over the years), but when it comes to books, I have to be VERY selective. Since I take my tablet anyway, an 3-book wouldn’t take up more room! I love FMQ but am definitely still in the “I need more practice/ideas” stage. Thanks again! paula in utah.
Thanks for offering the opportunity to participate in the drawing. I am just starting to learn to quilt and free motion and need all the help I can get.
I am just trying to get brave enough for FMQ. This would be a great help.
I love free motion quilting and can always use fresh ideas. I have troible convincing my quilting pals that it’s really not hard, just takes practice.
