LocoMotion2024B is comprised of six LIVE sessions. This extremely popular course will run from November 20th through December 16th. Although it wraps around the US Thanksgiving holiday, it will be very manageable because the pace is such that you will be able to work easily within the timeframe.
This is Part 1 of Ricky's LocoMotion class and covers the basics. It's based on a unique and accurate no-pins curved piecing technique. You will be creating your own design based on principles that Ricky will outline. Students who complete this class will be offered the opportunity to take MoLocoMotion—an advanced continuation of this course. Please note, LocoMotion is a prerequisite to taking Part 2, which is called MoLocoMotion. Watch the trailer (above) and view the gallery to see the success of previous students.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
LocoMotion has quickly become one of Ricky's most popular classes. Prepare to amaze yourself with quilting creativity that you may never have thought possible.
Break free from blocks and sewing straight seams. Find freedom in curved piecing and learn a precision technique without using quarter-inch seams. This is a design-it-yourself class that is presented with LIVE interactive sessions. If you can't attend live, you will still have full access to all sessions - forever. You receive personal suggestions and guidance from Ricky. LIVE sessions are recorded, posted, and then available forever. If you have to miss a session, no problem—you'll have access to it anytime...forever.
The gist of this class is for each person to create an original, curve-pieced, artful quilt—a wall-quilt—that is innovative and aesthetically pleasing featuring curves, orbs, and other non-traditional designs. It will not feature squares, triangles, etc, which are common for patchwork designs. See the gallery above for examples of what previous students achieved.
The class project is for learning purposes and will inspire you to make something more complex at a later date. Not only will you learn to design using pieced curves, you'll learn Ricky's easy, no-pins technique to accurately reproduce your design in fabric.
It is vital that you enter class with the understanding that you are creating a class project - not your next masterpiece. Simplicity and manageability will be strongly recommended and encouraged. A project that can be created and finished within the class time frame is vital.
As a bonus, you have the option to explore ways to create visual transparency in your design. Set your doubts and fears aside. This will be surprisingly easy and you’ll be going crazy for curves going forward.
A virtual class community evolves during the class. Participants see what the other participants are creating which is inspiring as well. You will receive written suggestions and critiques from Ricky and can expect to draw inspiration from other students for ideas and suggestions.Sessions are via Zoom in a webinar format. No additional software is required. Connecting is easy. If you miss a session, they are recorded. All lessons are available to all students...FOREVER.
Supplies NeededPrior to class you will not need anything. We start with pencil and paper. Your design will dictate your fabric choices (likely coming from your stash), so you cannot plan fabric or fabric quantities until you have created your design. Freezer paper is needed. Basic sewing supplies. A flannel or other design wall for small wall quilt is a must.ScheduleThere will be six LIVE sessions via Zoom on the following dates. Sessions run approximately one hour. Please note that the first three class dates are spaced closely within the first week... and then more time is allotted between classes to allow for sewing progress. Each student will post photos of their progress. The entire class sees everyone's progress and everyone can read Ricky's comments and suggestions on all posts. This is an interactive class and not intended to be self-paced.
The LIVE sessions are presented via Zoom Webinar format - usually run about 1 hour - give or take. Students are not on camera.
