The Incredible Swirl: How to Create an Intricate Machine Quilting Design from One Basic Shape!

Would you believe it if I told you that you could make an elegant looking swirl chain design from one basic shape? You will……after you watch this tutorial!
Join me, Angela Walters, as I show you how to quilt the elongated swirl meander, a great design to add movement and texture to your quilt. Then I’ll show you how to take the basic swirl shape and turn it into an incredible looking swirl chain design.
Learn how echoing might just be the answer to all of your quilting problems and, most importantly, how to highlight or hide your swirl chain using the filler around it.

I still love watching you quilt on that old Gammill. I still use mine bc I am poor as hell but these old videos are a treasure still! :)

[@little1942]

You make this look so easy! Then I spend hours with a huge chalkboard and chalk trying to copy it before I head to fabric. Believe it or not, it actually helps. Then I have to take the chalkboard outside to clean off all the chalk! 🤣. Thank you so much for these tutorials. I never dreamed I would even get this far.

[@F15mother]

You really make a gal feel like she can do this with lots of echos. You're the best, Angela!

[@patticriss2238]

I’d be embarrassed to show anyone how many times I e tried this design on paper. I have drawn and practiced and just can’t loosen up. I love the chain. I picked the wood grain up in 1 try. The leaves in one try and many others. My brain is not computing for the swirl chain. Back to practicing and thank you for the time you put in on these videos. Your quilting is second to none.

[@marlene1854]

You've inspired me. Thank you for your tutorials! I'm subscribing now and excited to pick up quilting again during this quarantine!

You are the most amazing person ever. You are so talented. I love love the swirl design. I’m doing better, but I have a ways to go. I’m hoping you add this in detail in your next book. Love you Angela.

[@melaniekay3647]

Thank you for your wonderful tutorials! I love how you pause the video and take time to explain each step, it really breaks it down and makes it seem doable! Now if I could only find the time to practice; my 3 kids under 4 keep me pretty busy!!
