Pam Smith Karr
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. I will be using some of your ideas/designs very soon on a somewhat abstract pieced quilt for my son. I am currently piecing it as I watch the presentations this week. Thank you so much!
Joanne Menzel Blair
I will be watching this over and over and over. Thank you!!!!!
Delora Dixon
Enjoyed your session very much.
Gail Connelly Pape
Great design, learned a lot! Thank you!
Donnita White Cook
Awesome class!!! I can’t wait to try it!
Laurie Young-Chappell
This was very interesting and I love that it was done on a regular sewing machine I will be trying this as soon as I get some of my other projects done.
DK Barnes
I think maybe I can do it - thank you! Love your style of teaching!
Maureen Martinez
Loving this class!
Karen Pack
I did not expect to love this class so much. But now I am certainly going to give it a try. Thank you, Jen!
Janet Kemp Meeks
Wow! This was so informative! I’m anxious to give it a go. Thanks so much.
Peg Curtis
Wow - what I loved most was that you provided ideas to help some of the wonky lines. My quilting never seems to be perfect and this helped me feel a little more confident.
Sue Hart
Thank you for sharing your expertise! I will have to try this.
Karen Balduzzi
Loved how clear her instructions were, plus watching her demonstrate is an additional plus!
Sabrina Myers
Great job and inspiration. I look forward to working on the different designs that are possible. I really need to slow down when free motion quilting. I can see how that would be helpful to the straight line areas. Thank you.
Dixie Katzung-Bradbury
This was wonderful. Thank you.
Irene Garcia
I have only done straight line crosshatch quilting, but I'm now looking forward to trying the free motion straight line quilting. Thanks for the great class!
Lisa Brooks
I really enjoyed your class. I feel like this is something I could really use.
Lori Keltesch
I loved this course. It was so informative. Also, your little thimble self-sitter is adorable.
Theresa Kellner
This is going to be a great method for me especially quilt as you go blocks.
Jean Brink
Wonderful and very helpful. I learned to use the hopping foot as well as to use washable crayons for marking fabric. also love the suggestion of using a window to trace the design. Also love your designs. thankyou
Florence Joyce McGee
Jen.. i took lots of notes.. so since i am just wanting to learn free motion ... this session was very beneficial thank you!
Dianne Savage
New to this but what I need to learn. Good to see the hopping foot working. Definitely want to do this reference piece for my work.
Jane Morrow
Great class! thank you.
Vicki Zumwalt
Jen, thank you for demystifying this topic, you were great! Your class has been the most valuable for me thus far. One question; do you put the stitch regulator on your machine when doing this or only the hoping foot? You made this seem manageable and I'm going to practice your technique. Thank you again!
Jan Jeffreys
Your tutorial was awesome! I learned so much. I am just starting out on my FMQ journey and with practice I feel sure I can recreate your designs on my projects as you explained everything so well. Thank you for sharing!
Jana Marie Dittmeier Stankus
This was a very informative class. I am looking forward to using some of the designs "the straight cross hatch especially" in the future. Thank you.
Lorinda 'Reinhard' Black
Now I feel silly for never realizing you could draw your pattern before quilting it. As someone who overthinks everything, that’s a game changer. Crayons washable markers… I will have to steal some from the kids art supplies. (It’s ok, they’re all adults now. lol)
Loronda Schuler
Thank you for the free course and templates.
Sandy Toussaint Savage
Thank you so much for these tutorials. My question is; These examples that you are showing are done on a plain clear fabric. So if and when you want to now do these designs on a quilt that you have made are you quilting on the back of the quilt where generally the fabric is plain and doesn’t have blocks or are you free motion quilting on the top of your quilt?
Robyn Becker
Fabulous presentation. And you are so generous with the free pattern and course. I can actually see myself doing this successfully with your guidance. Thank you Jen.
Deborah Miller
Thank you ! You make it look so easy, so I will try it lol
Rhonda Burnett
Fabulous Class love having a drawn design to help with FMQ
Penny Shalosky
Loved this class!
Regina Puetz
Now that was an eye opener. Should ease me into free motion quilting, as I find loops and curves very difficult to do, and with a walking foot all that turning gets very frustrating. Since you don’t drop your feed dogs, I might even attempt this on my small machine I have with me, never could do free motion quilting on it since the feed dogs don’t drop…. I am very excited to try this!
Jessica Greni
Wonderful teacher!!!
Rita Moore
Great course
Sylvia Wagner
Thank you for the nice presentation.
Cheryle Jones
Love these designs! Very doable with your directions on how to accomplish and move!
Marjorie Collings
Very well done! Thank you.
Sandra Cypress
Great class.
Karen Hunt
Thank you! Like the use of the washable markers and work gloves. Also, the designs are really nice and hope to use them. 😀
Donna Sammis Barnett
I have been terrified to try this! Now I am ready to take the plunge! Going toorder some Crayolas and work gloves. Thanks for your clear instructions!
Sheila Brown Russillo
Fantastic! I've never seen a jagged meander done like this- opens possibilities!
Darlene Payne Kopta
Wow! This class clearly shows how to create a custom piece, making it seem doable. I’m excited to go back and try this soon. Thank you!
Jeanne Klay Ebner
Thank you Jen, love the 5 motif's.
Debbie Baker
Loved this! And in checking out your website I saw you book “Deploy that Fabric which I have ordered. As a veteran and retired military spouse, I will put that to immediate use! Thanks!
Elizabeth White
Jen, you pleasantly surprised me, I didn’t think I would be interested in whole cloth quilting as I usually do piecing. However, this was all about the quilting being the “Design showcased”! I loved it! I can see myself using these techniques for sure! Thank you so much 💐💖 for excellent teaching!
Rhoda Boyd
Great class. Thanks! The tip on Crayola markers is also a big help. Some sites have said that washable markers can show up later, even after being washed out. Sounds like Crayola works better.
Shoshana Vogel
what a wonderful class, your teaching style is fantastic and very encouraging. thank y ou so much
Joanna Stadler
I certainly learned more than I thought I would! Didn't think the "whole cloth" subject was for me but many tips have helped me to feel I can do this without needing the walking foot. However, it will take practice on getting a slow, even pace throughout. Good to know about the Crayola markers. Thank you for precise directions and a great presentation!
Lynn Voliva Davenport
Awesome! Can't wait to try to do this.
Lee Hively
OUTSTANDING CLASS!!!!!! GREAT EXPLANTIONS + PRE PLANNING FROM YOU !!! SO MANY USUABLE LINES IN ONE CLASS! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EXPLANATIONS AND INFORMATION. HOPE TO GET YOUR BOOK
Pat Finley
Enjoyed your presentation.
Reva Lee
I have never done quilting on my machine. You gave such good information I am now planning on trying it and not so worried about messing it up. Thank you!!!
M Kathleen Darden
Oh my goodness....this is exactly what I have been looking for!!! Thank you...outstanding!!
Lucy Maitland
Thank you for the tutorial! Really got me interested in trying more FMQ.
Rebekah Wilson
This is a fantastic class. I love the finished project. Thank you for sharing your pattern.
Louise Roth Hower
Your presentation is just awesome!!! and your instructions are so complete. I'm new to quilting, less than a year so this is something I will definitely be trying.
Charlotte Calkins
I totally enjoyed your presentation and your free mini whole cloth course. You gave me so much to think about. Your presentation made my day!
Peggy Foster Matthews
I am looking forward to trying this free motion quilting. You make it look so easy.
Brenda Kay Pedrotti
Jen, you are so talented. Thank you for a great class. I hope to try some of your online classes soon. For someone who people laugh at my stickmen drawings, I am really out of my comfort zone free-motion quilting. You made it look easy.
Jeanette Campbell Lage
Hi Jen, I must confess that I wasn’t too keen on watching bc I didn’t like the way the block looked with the white thread. Afterwards, I understood why the color choices and could see the value in having a sampler piece of the different sewing looks. I would recommend watching even if you don’t have a long arm, you can still do this exercise using different hand stitching.
Naomi Burch Smith
you've inspired this new to quilting lady! Thanks for your class!
Glenna Elvery
I absolutely love this design!! It was helpful to know how to hide my “oops” by stitching over it!! Thank you!!
Lea Gough
Excellent session - really demystified and simplified this for me.
Patty Morgan Norberg
So great, learn new things today!
Carolyn Engelen Russell
WOW watched, jumping back and forth, twice today.
Leigh Brown
This was such an amazing class! You are a talented teacher and provided such great details and instruction. I had actually passed this class by, not thinking I would enjoy this technique but changed my mind. I’m so glad I did because you made me believe I can do this! I can’t wait to try it 🩷
Deanne Kruick
This was a very informative class. I enjoyed it.
Sally Bosch Hepworth
Excellent tutorial! Thanks so very much!
Donna Everett
That was a great class.
Karen Keller
Loved this class, I can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing Free-Motion Fills- Straight Line Wholecloth.
Beverly Seffrin
Thank you! I learned so much on how to use that presser foot. I did not know how to make all those lines with my free motion quilting foot. Opened some doors for me
Kathleen Brinker
I was about to give up on free motion quilting too, but your course came along and saved the day - thank you for breaking it down into manageable pieces, Jen!
Km Haefele
Jen, thank you so much for the fantastic lesson, so easy to watch and understand. Your teaching skill is wonderful, steady and easy to watch and learn. Going to look into your classes! This has differently is peaking my interest to try this. Thanks
Victoria Strohmeyer
Jen makes it easy to learn new skills— in little bits without overwhelming beginners. 🙏

Sandy Heisey
Jen has amazing skill! She makes this look easy. I hope she is right!
Cheryl Bow
Thank you, thank you! I wasn't able to stitch as I was watching, but I learned so much. One thing that I learned is that I am way too hard on myself. LOL I will make a sample quilt soon. I learned a lot from you. You explain very well. Thank you again. I can't wait to try a sampler.
Barbara J. Dumler
Thank you. That was wonderful.
Lois Saxberg
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your know
Maren Renz
Thank you Jen for this lovely project. Definitely going to try it out
Diane Catt
Enjoyed this, thank you.
Adrienne Dold
Thank you for the class; it was very informative, even for someone who has done FMQ and ruler quilting on a domestic machine. I always learn something from a class, and your zigzag meander was the thing!
Sue Gatehouse
This is the best tutorial so far, you are down to earth and explain things clearly and even saying about the pen on your hands. 🙌
Carol McGruer
Class was brilliant.
Maureen Martinez
Great! I’ll get some then. Thanks for the great class!
Judith Marie
Excellent class! Easy to understand and looks so easy to do. Thank you
Judy Harrell Brundage
This was a great class! Jen shows you that these are great motifs you can do. Really enjoyed it and am excited to try more free motion quilting. Thank you!
JoAnna Goode
Your presentation confirms my believe that I can accomplish his exercise. Thank you so much💕
Charlotte Cabello
Now this wholecloth concept makes sense to me. I really enjoyed this session.
Diane Pohlig
Very clear instructions. Looking forward to trying this.
Karen Santens Ryan
Wow, that was fantastic!! I'm not a free-motion person, I can't draw, and I'm not sure I'll ever be good at it, but I'm really feeling more comfortable. Your classes sound interesting, too. Nice job. The video was so well put together.
Rita Ni
I was amazed at what you presented! I’m just starting to FMQ and usually stick to meander. My ah-ha moment came when you talked about leaving the feed dogs up and setting stitch length to 0 to provide just enough friction to allow a little more control! Wow! 🤯
Rosita Navarrete-Flores
Thanks for sharing the process step and the variety of stitch patterns used. I can see the endless possibilities.
Deb LaDue
This was awesome! Loved, loved it was on a domestic machine and I learned some details on how better to use the free motion feet I have.
Cheryl Strong
Great video, I've never done this but would love to try.
Sandra Silvestri
Very cool, I love this! I'm thinking table toppers and runners, different designs AND different thread colors 🌈 Thank you for sharing your talents!
Luanne Bowers
This was my favorite class so far! I've only attempted FMQ a couple of times, but I'm inspired.
Jean Lessig
Excellent watching the different stitches go together. Thank you for your time!
Christine Zdybel Groendyk
This was such an awesome design! Loved it. Enjoyed your sense of humor, too.
Kitty Buckwalter
I really enjoyed this class. The way you broke down the different elements in the design just clicked for me. I'm excited about trying out different designs now.
Pamela Klowak
I enjoyed your tutorial. You explained everything so well and although I have used a lot of straight line quilting, I definitely picked up some more design ideas and techniques to use to level up my quilting. Thanks so much Jen!
Patti Kauffman Adair
Jen, your tutorial was fantastic. I learned so much. You are a really good teacher. Thank you for sharing.
Diana DeForest
Thank you so much for your class on how to do this technique with a regular sewing machine. I really want to learn how to finish my own quilts with free motion quilting. This class gave me great ideas on how to practice those designs and end up with a fun whole cloth sampler!
Monica Garrett Emerson
WOW! I can't wait to start a project using your methods. Your tutorial was sooo good!
Susan Wilson
Really enjoyed this lesson - thank you!
Carole Martin
It was helpful to see the process .
Deana Overturf
Thank you! Love the crayola marker idea & the straight meander!
Gretchen Herr
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Great presentation and and outs!
Grace Luaces
Amazing tutorial! Thank you!
Jan Dodd
Trying to decide what design to quilt for me is always the hardest part. I love how you made this easy by breaking it into smaller parts and repeating for muscle memory. Much appreciated!
Cheryl Hagedorn
It turned out beautifully! I am not sure I am ready for all the intricate detailed areas but at some point in time I will just need to experiment with them. I need to get the hopping foot first. Thank you for the wonderful demonstration! I enjoyed watching it.
Liz Bonnell Yates
Jen is an organized excellent teacher. She walks the student through materials needed, and each step of the wholecloth quilting project with tips along the way. Thank you! Can't wait to try this.
Janet Bergquist
I loved your free motion, straight line whole cloth class.
Beth Rowan Excellent presentation and great project for learning free motion! Thanks for the detailed instructions and the video demonstrating the process. Hoping to take some time in the next few days and try this.
Sheila Willis
I'm late with my comment but have been a day late since Tuesday of a very busy week and trying to fit everything in. coming back here to say how much i enjoyed your demonstration, but my biggest take away was how you isolated parts of your designs (like the cat eye) by leaving some parts unquilted. I've always felt i have to have quilting of some sort EVERYWHERE! you've opened my eyes to a different way to use designs, thank you so much.
Carol Kippy Gordon
I enjoyed watching you use various designs to fill in the whole cloth mini quilt. I hop I signed up correctly for the free course you are offering.
Eileen Neuenschwander
You have given me such confidence in my ability to learn this. When it comes to design part of courses to save patterns and things.
Sharon Hill Pearson
I loved your session and how you broke the design into manageable steps. I realized I had bought your Free-Motion Pattern Book before and never used it. I now purchased the book that goes with it. I will challenge myself to move forward with confidence!
Terrie McKinney
Thank you so much for the class. I am excited to try it out
Jay Thayer
Wow this was definitely and Ah Ha for me. I am new to Longarm quilting and just bought the automation. But I've noticed others quilts with all of this fancy design quilting and wish to do some of this in my quilts.
