The Free-Motion Mastery in a Month system draws on my 25 years experience as a piano teacher to bring you the simplest, most effective method ever for learning or improving free-motion quilting skills.
The FMM30 system combines four teaching elements: Movement, Tracing, Drawing and Quilting.
Begin with Quilting Yoga, then trace designs with the Master Trainer and Tracing Sheets to build muscle memory before you go to the sewing machine. Next, draw the same designs in a sketchbook to train your "mental map". Finally, quilt one block a day to bring together all these skills for successful quilting in record time!
The video class includes 30 units -- one for each daily lesson -- showing you exactly how to do each exercise and quilt each pattern. 5 additional lessons show you how to set up your sewing machine, select fabric, and more. Over 7 hours of instruction are included, and downloads provide the written materials for the class. This bundle also includes the Free-Motion Mastery book.
Non-US Warranty: 30 days parts and labor.

Features
The Express Bundle gives you all the tools you need to learn free-motion quilting on any type of machine - domestic, sit-down longarm or frame-mounted longarm. Just add your favorite fabric, thread and batting and start quilting!
Learning to quilt is not just about learning patterns: you also need to learn the movement of quilting. FMM30 uses large-body motions and tracing with the Master Trainer and Tracing Sheets -- before you go to the sewing machine -- to teach you patterns AND the movement to quilt them. Then, when you go to the sewing machine you can quilt because you already learned what to do BEFORE you got there!
The Master Trainer also functions as a measuring ruler, a cutting ruler for joining strips when you assemble your practice blocks into a quilt, and a machine quilting ruler (ruler work is introduced as a bonus at the end of the book).
Non-US Warranty: 30 days parts and labor.

RaNae Merrill FMM30-TR-LONG Free-Motion Mastery in a Month Master Trainer
Our Price: $32.00 Prices are subject to change, and only current prices will be honored.
Availability: Usually leaves the warehouse in 2-3 business days. Condition: New In Box
Features
The Master Trainer is the essential tool for doing the Tracing exercises in Free-Motion Mastery in a Month. Use it to learn patterns, develop muscle memory, and coordinate your hands together in parallel motion -- all before you go to the sewing machine to quilt!
Buy the Long size if you will be quilting on large domestic machine, a sit-down longarm or a frame-mounted longarm.
The Master Trainer is actually four tools in one. In addition to using it for the muscle-memory building tracing exercises, use it for:
Joining Strips & Binding: Use the guide lines to cut strips & binding for assembling your practice blocks “quilt-as-you-go” style into a completed quilt.
All-Purpose Ruler: Measure anything with the ruler on the straight edge.
Quilting Ruler: Use different sides to quilt a variety of shapes. The straight edge does straight lines, the C-curve end does small curved grids and block outlines, the S-curve end does wavy lines and the bumpy bottom does clamshells, circles, rick-rack and more. Instructions are in the book and the video class. The ruler is 1/4" thick, which is standard for most ruler work feet.

Ever since the Free-Motion Mastery in a Month book and tool kit came out, people have been asking me for a video class. I'm excited to say that it's here!
Working with one of the top producers of quilting videos (she's worked for Craftsy and iQuilt) I created this amazing class! It contains 30 individual mini-classes - one for each daily lesson - with demonstrations to show you exactly how to do each tracing and drawing exercise and how to quilt each pattern.
It also contains 5 stand-alone lessons that you can refer back to at any time during the course. These will take you step-by-step through:
How to select fabric, thread and batting
What tools you'll need
How to set up your sewing machine for free-motion quilting
RaNae Merrill FMM30 Free-Motion Mastery in a Month 10" x 11" Square Up Ruler
Our Price: $40.00 Prices are subject to change, and only current prices will be honored.
Availability: Usually leaves the warehouse in 2-3 business days. Condition: New In Box
Features
When you're ready to assemble your FMM30 quilt, the first step is to square up your blocks to 10" x 10" (or 10" x 11" if you want to squeeze the max out of your block). Then, cut them into pieces and reassemble them with joining strips to create your design. (I call the process "Quilt First, Piece After.")
The Free-Motion Mastery in a Month 10" x 11" Square-up Ruler is specially designed to:
Square up your blocks to any size between 8"x 8" and 10" x 11"
Perfectly center panel blocks and diagonals - holes at center points let you put a pin or mechanic pencil point through the ruler
Cut the blocks into halves, thirds, and quarters
Cut the blocks into 1/4-square triangles, 1/2-square triangles, or centered triangles
Cut the joining strips to assemble the pieces
Cut the binding to finish your quilt
It is designed to work equally well for left-handed or right-handed cutting.
