I’m a person who has struggled to have an eye for shading. Teri’s method of outlining from the photo seems doable!! I can’t wait to try.

I loved this class!! I just finished stitching a portrait of my daughter’s dog for our guild challenge and will then give it to my daughter. Teri’s instructions were so easy to follow and she quickly answered every one of my questions – and I asked several!! Even if you’re not an artist, you can do this. I used a picture that was texted to me but was able to edit it on my phone and print it – I don’t have any photo editing software and I’m not very computer literate but had no trouble with this. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to try something different. Great job Teri!!

The videos are so easy to follow. And I love all of the “tips”!! I can’t wait to try this myself.

Hello! This says I would be the FIRST to review Lesson 1 but I am really reviewing the entire class. I was very intrigued by the “portrait” idea of machine quilting. Very informative! Easy to follow. I watched it all once and then again as I tried for myself. With practice, I feel this will be a method I will enjoy using for my own quilt projects. Thanks.
