Quilters, the ice is in the the wind, and the new year is fast approaching! If there’s ever been a time to learn to streamline your quilting process, it is now!
That’s why this December 12th and 13th, I’ll be hosting an extra class before the holidays! Ambitions Quilters will learn everythign they need to know about Pro-Stitcher Premium in order to create beautiful, elegant quilts with a minimum of mess and time investment.
We’ll begin our journey with an overview of the features, setting, shortcuts, and pending updates available in PSP. You’ll learn how to download and install program updates, how to use designs you’ve purchased, and how to use the program in Simulation mode.
After getting our bearings, we’ll dive straight into the heart of the quilt: design. We’ll create a variety of Edge-to-Edge layouts, including wrapping, and learn a simple method for advancing the quilt – Drag-and-Drop. I’ll teach you how to skate over interruptions such as bobbin changes, thread breaks, and tension issues, without losing unnecessary time.
After mastering the essentials, we’ll move on to techniques allowing us finer control of our space. We’ll learn to stitch seamless borders with corners, set accurate and effective areas for our custom quilting, and work with irregular spaces and quilt layouts. We’ll round out our knowledge with a short introduction to with PSP’s sister program, Pro-Stitcher Designer.
Finally, students will have an opportunity to ask any questions they have about material we’ve covered during the course, or that they’ve encountered during their own quilting journeys.
If your art can’t wait ‘til the new year, this class was meant for you!
