    Red face Longarm videos and books

    I am new to long arm quilting (still waiting for my machine to arrive!). What videos or books do I need to watch and read? Free is preferred but if the resource is worth the money I would certainly purchase!

    thanks!

    Patsy Thompson quilts on a domestic but she has great videos. She breaks the designs so you really learn. I also like Kimmy Bruner's videos.

    Books that I would highly recommend are Hooked on Feathers by Sally Terry, 365 Free motion quilting designs by Leah Day and any book by Angela Walters. There are other good ones, but these are the ones I refer to the most.

    You could do a couple of the craftsy classes. You usually can catch a time when they are on sale for 19.99 or less. Also look up Jamie Wallen, Angela Walters, Leah Day, Christina Cameli, Patsy Thompson, Linda V. Taylor and APQS on Utube and via Google. All have free tutorials that are good.

    my fav to recommend to newbies is The Pajama Quilter. Her web site says they are sold out, but I found it on Kingsmen

    http://kmquiltingsupply.net/shop/boo...er-rethreaded/

    I have both of her DVDs. LOVE them both. Easy designs that look great.

    No affiliation with Pajama Quilter or Kingsmen.

    This is a free craftsy class. I bought Angela Walter's class, also on craftsy and it is very good, especially if you are more of a modern quilter.
    I also watched several videos by various quilters on utube and on Handi quilter, since my machine is an HQ Avante.
