Hello Fellow Quilting Friends!,
We
have some fantastic news we want to share with you! We have Jacquie
Gering coming to Victoria on Thursday, May 25th. We managed to snag her
up prior to her visit to Vancouver on the 26th. Now I do apologize to
West Shore Quilt Guild as I know this is your regular meeting night. In
order for this opportunity to work out for us we had to change the date
of our meet to a week later. We do want to extend and open invitation
to all of your members to attend if they are wanting to sit in on
Jacquie's trunk show. We do have a $10 fee for MQG Victoria members and
a $15 fee for visitors. We do have limited seating and are offering it
on a first come first serve basis. We have included all of our special
instructions in the email above/below. I hope that you will forward
this information to your members or customers, so they can join us for
this special evening. If you have any questions in regards to this
event please feel free to contact me and I will answer your questions
that you may have.
Thank you very much for letting me share this with you!

Free motion not for you? How about some "forward motion"
quilting with the walking foot? It's time to get that walking foot out
of the ditch, take it for a drive and see what that baby can really do!
Jacquie Gering will be your guide as you work your way from walking foot
basics to intricate marked designs as you master machine quilting with
your walking foot.
Jacquie shares a comprehensive set of walking foot quilting basics that
provide a solid foundation for quilting with ease, quality and
creativity. She guides you through a series of test drives with your
walking foot, allowing you to get acquainted with its features and set
yourself up for success with your foot and your machine. Then you'll
learn how to prepare and mark the quilt, prevent puckers while quilting,
and manage large projects.
Jacquie teaches over forty walking foot friendly designs including
channel quilting, matchstick quilting and quilting with decorative
stitches. Thought that your walking foot could only be used for straight
line quilting? Learn to use the walking foot with traditional designs
including cables, clamshells, and orange peels or finish your quilt with
intricate point to point designs like the boomerang and nested
diamonds. Quilt graphic, innovative radiating designs. Learn to spiral
and quilt concentric designs or use your newly developed skills to quilt
unique designs with reserve.
You too can achieve the textures shared in Jacquie's vibrant, graphic
quilts. With a toolbox of simple to complex designs you'll have the
options you need to quilt on your home machine with designs that will
support your piecing and create a harmonious marriage of piecing and
quilting. With a walking foot, you'll find a level of control and
success you never thought possible and you'll become as excited about
the quilting as you are about your piecing.
