Don't know where to start when custom quilting? Let's make a custom plan! In this class, we will discuss where inspiration comes from and the process of deciding what to quilt where and why! We will look at several quilt tops that are begging for custom stitches and discuss the process of drawing, marking, and deciding on what designs will help make that custom quilt ever so special.
