Free Motion Machine Quilting Journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teri Lucas began her free motion machine quilting journey working on a project with kids at her Church. That experience led to her making patchwork placemats for her sister and her sister\u2019s fianc\u00e9. While working on those projects, Teri\u2019s husband watched how happy Teri was and suggested to Teri that she \u201cneeded a hobby.\u201d The patchwork placemats led to quilting. A friend showed Teri how to hand quilt and off she went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The aspect of quilting that Teri likes most is free motion machine quilting. She enjoys the whole process: \u201cThe hum of the machine, the designs in my head forming under the needle, seeing the whole work come together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teri says she is actually \u201can accidental free motion quilter.\u201d She had been working on a hand quilting project for several years and just wanted to get \u201cthat quilt done,\u201d so she dove right in to free motion machine quilting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2014, Teri has been an Ambassador for Bernina<\/a>, creating tips, techniques, and projects for Bernina\u2019s WeAllSew blog<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Quilt Teacher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teri \u201cformally\u201d began teaching quilting in 2009. She likes to help her students realize that with free motion quilting, it’s okay to make mistakes, and then she likes to present to them different solutions to move past the mistakes. She also tells her students that quilting outside the lines is \u201ckinda cool\u201d and that wherever they are in quilting is the right place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Quilt Book Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teri calls herself a Chief Creative Weirdo<\/em>. Her creativity led her to publishing her first quilt book, Color, Thread & Free-Motion Quilting: Learn to Stitch with Reckless Abandon<\/em> in July, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Teri explained the reason why she focused on thread for her book: \u201cAs machine quilters know, thread color can dramatically affect the look and mood of your quilt.\u201d  By using color theory and solid design principles, Teri uses her book to explain how specialty threads in different weights can make motifs stand out the most against the fabric. She shares free motion quilting tips and tricks as well as her \u201cImpractical Color Wheels.\u201d Teri\u2019s intent is to help quilters learn the thread choice rules so they can be broken!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Road to California 2022, Teri will have a Special Exhibit<\/strong> where she will be signing copies of her book.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
