the art of mctavishing: a free-motion quilting technique

In this one-hour course Karen McTavish teaches the “McTavishing“ quilting technique she created. McTavishing is a free-motion background fill quilting technique that features free-flowing lines and shapes. It adds motion and texture to quilts. McTavishing is an alternative to stippling. You can add McTavishing to any quilt or garment, from wholecloth to contemporary art quilts. The technique works with a longarm or domestic machine, or even with hand quilting. Much of this course material was originally published as a companion DVD to the “Mastering the Art of McTavishing, 2nd Edition,” a print book published in 2014 in collaboration with On-Word Bound Books. That book, which sold 89,000 copies, is out of print and unavailable. ____________________________ about mctavishing ____________________________ Influenced by her experience with continuous line drawing, Karen McTavish created the McTavishing technique inspired by the flowing, organic line style in the dra
