Written by quilter Julie Plotniko, you don’t want to miss her tutorial on wholecloth walking foot quilting. The definition of a wholecloth quilt is a quilt made of a single length of extra-wide fabric. The quilting stitches themselves form the design of the quilt. I’ve loved the look of wholecloth quilting before I ever knew the name of this technique. It’s the kind of quilting where the quilting is the star of the show, without being muffled by color and patterns. I love the texture the thread creates. A star at teaching the many facets of the exciting world of quilting, Julie will walk us through the supplies, how to prepare the fabric, and explaining what a walking foot is and how to thread the machine for successful quilting, and so much more. If you want a head start and follow along, here are the supplies you’ll need to be ready.
