Welcome to our comprehensive online course on planning and executing 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:
* Utilise Intelliquilter tools to design, edit, and execute pantograph patterns within defined areas.
* Strategically plan quilting designs to fit a specific section of a quilt.
* Apply these techniques to fill the quilt body or specific blocks, adding texture that enhances the fabrics and overall design.
Whether you're filling the majority of a quilt and adding a cohesive border design or simply adding texture to specific blocks, this course will equip you with versatile skills to elevate your quilting projects. Join us and bring your quilts to life with Intelliquilter!
