Join Judi Madsen as she demonstrates how you can advance your quilting skills by adding detail quilting in a progressive manner. Using the same quilt top pattern for three different quilts, sew along with Judi and complete a simpler design, a more complex design, and then an advanced design. As she sews, you can see how she builds the quilting detail on each piece. The completion of each quilt design builds your quilting skills and gives you inspirational ideas for adapting these techniques to your own quilts! Everything is presented in easy-to-follow, step-by-step lessons so you can achieve the quilting success you desire. Quilting layouts included with class downloadable materials. For your convenience, this class can be purchased for online viewing or purchased on DVD.

What will I get with this class?You will get the Serendipity pattern and directions for the quilt top Judi uses in the Progressive Detail Quilting class. This is an original pattern by Judi. So, make three quilt tops using this pattern and you are ready to watch the class and sew right along with her! It’s a great tutorial and the camerawork allows you to see everything close up, so there is no guessing about what Judi is doing at any point. You’ll enjoy Judi’s easygoing style and will be delighted with the quilts you have completed! Best of all, you can then adapt these quilting skills to the quilts you are working on and feel confident about how to proceed.
-
Is this a class for longarm quilters only?This is a class for anyone who wants to learn how to add amazing depth to their quilting. While Judi does quilt on a longarm, the same techniques can be adapted to home sewing machines and even hand quilting. The focus of this class is quilting design, so the skills learned while watching Judi are valuable to anyone who desires to create their own stunning quilting designs.
-
What if I have questions?We recommend that you watch the class in its entirety and become familiar with any downloadable materials. At that point, if something is unclear, go to the tab that allows you to ask a question and Judi will get back with you.
-
What will I Iike about this class?The cool thing about this class is that you use one pattern and learn to quilt it three ways. Judi’s show-stopping quilting designs are the result of adding detail to create amazing dimension—the more detail, the more dimension! In this class, you’ll learn to do just that by creating three quilts that have progressively more detail.

There are excellent examples of how to progressively add just the right amount of quilting to achieve the results perfect for your quilt. A bonus is the opportunity to learn more free motion fill shapes and strategies to deal with dilemnas we all encounter. I hope Judi and iquilt have more great classes to come…

I actually like the 2nd quilt best, but I loved how Judi really started to shine when she was quilting *her* favorite.
The 'how to' instruction was top notch, but I would have liked to have seen a little more instruction on determining *what* to quilt, and the music drove me bonkers (probably exacerbated by binge watching the course 😉 but all in all a good class for someone looking to step up their quilting game.
