Free Motion Quilting: How to use Holly Leaves Template By Dabline

Simple steps of how to use the holly leaves and berries template for free motion quilting:

1. To begin practicing use a practice quilt and place the grip on top of the practice quilt.
2. Place the template inside the grip and line up your FMQ foot with the start position of the template.

Tip: You can practice moving with the template either with your sewing machine off or you can practice with it on by removing the top and bobbin thread. This will allow you to figure out what speed you want to go with the needle and not have to remove any unwanted stitches.

3. When you are ready to practice the movements, slowly start moving the grip and template, following the curve of the template with the edge of your FMQ foot. You want the foot to always be touching the edge of the template. Take the movements nice and slow. Also make sure you are moving smoothly, not hurky jerky.

4. When you reach the stop position…Stop!

5. You are now ready to flip the template over so it is a mirror image of what it was for the first movement. Now follow the curve of the template down till you reach the bottom of the template at the next stop position.

Once your practice leaves look great, then you are ready to start sewing on your quilt project!
