Walking Foot Quilting
Design & Technique
Monday, March 16, 2026
9:30 am to 4:30 pm MST (Arizona Time)
$50 for members
It's time to get your stitching out of "the ditch" and learn to enhance your quilt tops with beautiful geometric shapes as well as straight and gently curving lines you can accomplish using a domestic machine with a walking foot!
Learn to create both modern and traditional quilting designs on your domestic machine using only a walking foot in this full-day class. We'll start with the basics of walking foot quilting, then move on to learning to create and combine original designs you can use to enhance pieced, appliqued, and even wholecloth quilt tops. Learn lots of tips and tricks to make walking foot quilting fun, and practice developing unique designs utilizing straight lines, gently curving lines, and even decorative machine stitches if you like.
In the afternoon, put your new skills into practice, creating a small "Walking Foot Quilting Sampler" entirely with walking foot quilting!
This workshop will be held at the
Martin Auto Museum
4320 W Thunderbird Rd
Glendale, AZ 85306
Feel free to bring your lunch or make your own arrangement. We can order lunch from Angie's Prime Grill (located in the parking lot in front of the museum) and one of us can pick up the lunches for everyone. Cost is about $10-20 and covers pretty much every type of diet.
