8 Stitch Patterns for Creative Sewing (SP#1)| Wall Flowers Supplement | Zazu's Tutorials

PLEASE NOTE: If it is 7-8-2022 or after, my website no longer exists. Any patterns or PDF printouts mentioned in this video are no longer available. Sorry for any inconvenience. Currently I am still on Facebook:   / zazusstitchart  
and here on YouTube:    / zazusstitchart  

In my first free-motion quilting stitch pattern video, I cover 8 stitches that can be used in a multitude of ways, including to stitch the background of the Wall Flowers project we are currently making. As always, I suggest paper practice for new patterns before stitching your beautiful fabrics.
0:00 Intro: Stitch Patterns won on the poll, and I am planning to make my way through these topics:
Fabric color & value
About thread
Machine cleaning, oiling, threading, plus tension
Stitch patterns
Other, please comment

1:14 Paper practice is always a great way to get started, unless you free-motion quilt all the time (such as making potholders).
1:55 1. BASIC STIPPLE/MEANDER
2:52 2. STIPPLE/MEANDER WITH LOOPS & POINTS
3:50 3. MODIFIED STIPPLE/MEANDER WITH ALL POINTS
4:37 Small areas of an art quilt, such as back mountains, look great done with a tiny stipple.
5:37 4. PEACOCKS and 5. RIVERS - Colorwash border
6:37 Free-motioning with a blind hem or other decorative stitches.
Experiment and you may want to stitch sideways or diagonally...
7:52 Colorwash embellishment featuring bird's nests
8:30 6. STRING OF BIRD'S NESTS are fun and cover area quickly once outlined.
9:17 Bobbin drawing bird's nests with metallic thread in the bobbin.
10:10 7. SEAWEED
11:05 8. LITTLE BOXES - This is one of the few geometrics in my quilting, but I tend to mash them.
12:30 A few more thoughts:
SUSTAINABILITY: quilting is repetitive motion
INTERDEPENDENCE: elements play off each other
FLOW OR MOVEMENT: avoid flat and static
ORGANIC QUALITY: biology not geometry
