There's just one problem
My machine is really tiny!
Thinking about moving all that fabric around can really make you feel like you're in over your head. I get it. No matter how large your quilt is or how small your sewing machine is, you're only dealing with the part of your quilt between your hands at any given time. You're more than capable. Here's why:
Managing bulk is hard
You'll learn how to prepare your quilt so it feels small and manageable.
big quilts are overwhelming
I show you exactly what to focus on to make it easier than you thought possible.
beautiful results are out of reach
When you follow my strategies, you'll create a quilt that looks like it was done by a pro.
Here's the truth
You can do this!
I have seen student after student tackle the same frustrations, hesitations, and fears as you and have watched them blossom into confident free-motion quilters. All you need to do is show up to learn. Let me handle the rest.

Meet your teacher
Hi, I'm Joni
It's my mission to inspire you to create beautiful quilts in an uplifting community.
I've been quilting for over 20 years. The only thing I love more than quilting is sharing what I've learned with you. Quilting is my favorite step in the process, and I created this course to teach you to love free-motion quilting, too. From getting your quilt ready to go under the needle to developing a quilting plan so you never approach your machine with doubt, I have a proven method of learning that ensures you can quilt your own quilts on your own machine.
But it wasn't always this way...
My entry into quilting was a disaster! I started with the ugliest fabrics and a cardboard cutting mat. I had no idea what I was doing, and it was the grace and patience of a mentor that got me through my first two quilts. By then, I was hooked and tried to learn as much as I could about this craft I loved so much.
If I can start with this as a first quilt, surely you also have it in you to learn and master the art of quilting on your own machine. I'd be so honored if you let me be your guide on that journey.
This is possible for you too.
