Mastering Border-to-Border Designs with Intelliquilter
How to plan and execute a border-to-border design in the center of your quilt! This course will guide you through using the Intelliquilter system to design and stitch a pantograph pattern that fits perfectly between the border seams of your quilt top.
We will work on a stunning medallion quilt where the outer three borders will feature custom quilting, while the center is filled with a beautifully coordinated pantograph design, as requested by the customer.
We will take you step-by-step through the process of creating balanced border-to-border quilting in a single area that is larger than your throat space. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and confidence to:
