***We are teaching feathers in this class. We will not have time to address individual tension issues or individual machines acting up.  There are situations where your machine might not be able to free motion quilt with rulers.  If you have not done any free motion with rulers we recommend you bring in your machine to try with one of our open Handi Quilter rulers.  Jackie is available for private Zoom classes on specific issues at a rate of $50 an hour. There is so much to learn about feathers and we need to stick to the curriculum!
