Watch the video below to learn how this FREE event will help you move from hesitation to confidence at the quilting stage.
Finishing your own quilts is about turning inspiration into something that feels fun and achievable.
You’re getting a lot of things right:
- You’re piecing beautiful quilt tops.Â
- You’re investing in tools.
- You’re watching tutorials.
- And you’re ready to move from pieced tops to finished quilts....
But…then you reach the “quilt as desired” step… and everything slows down.
Maybe right now you…
Feel stuck at the “quilt as desired” step, staring at your finished quilt top and thinking, “I don’t know what to quilt on this.”
Aren’t sure whether to use your walking foot, try rulers, or attempt free-motion quilting — and second-guess every choice.
Feel afraid of ruining something you worked so hard to piece, so you hesitate to even start.
Doubt your stitch quality, your tension, or whether your quilting is “good enough.”
Have a growing stack of finished quilt tops waiting because you don’t have a clear process to move them forward.
There has got to be a better way!
 You don’t need more random tutorials.
→ You need clarity.
Â
You don’t need more tools.
→You need confidence in how to use what you already have.
Â
What if you could approach your next quilt top with a clear understanding of your options and the confidence to choose one?
You dream of finishing your own quilts with clarity and confidence — without overthinking every design choice or worrying you’ll ruin something you love.
that’s doable with your hectic schedule, and actually works.
How would it feel to…
Clearly understand walking foot, ruler, and free-motion quilting... and know which approach fits your quilt.
Feel confident choosing a design and actually begin quilting instead of overthinking it.
Finish more of your quilts yourself with pride, creativity, and momentum.
This is exactly what you’ll experience at Move the Needle: Machine Quilting Summit!
During Move the Needle: Machine Quilting Summit you'll learn how to move your quilts from pieced to finished with clarity and confidence.

MEET YOUR HOST
Hi, I'm Manon.
I’m a professional longarm quilter and quilting educator with over two decades of experience in the quilting industry. I’ve had the privilege of quilting for hundreds of clients and spent years teaching quilters how to move past the uncertainty of “quilt as desired” and actually enjoy finishing their quilts.
Through my workshops and Motif Builder Academy, I help quilters build practical machine quilting skills in a way that feels structured, supportive, and creative, not overwhelming.
I’m hosting the Move the Needle: Machine Quilting Summit because I see so many quilters complete beautiful quilt tops… and then pause at the quilting stage, wanting clearer direction for their next step. This summit was created to give you fresh perspective, practical options, and the clarity to confidently move your quilts from unfinished to finished. YAY!!
Grab your ticket and join me and our amazing lineup of machine quilting educators for a fun, practical event that will help you build momentum and finish with confidence.
What to expect atÂ
Move the Needle: Machine Quilting Summit
When and Where
The summit runs from April 22–24. Each day you’ll have access to a variety of presentations exploring walking foot quilting, ruler quilting, and free-motion quilting.
This event is entirely virtual, so you can attend from anywhere in the world with internet access. Whether you watch from your sewing room, your living room, or your favourite cozy corner, you’re welcome here.
Expert Sessions
You’ll attend presentations from our lineup of machine quilting educators with trainings across walking foot machine quilting, ruler quilting, and free-motion quilting.
Your free ticket includes 24-hour access to each presentation during the summit. This gives you focused time to watch, learn, and consider how each technique could apply to your own quilts.
Private Summit Community
When you register, you’ll be invited into our private Facebook community where quilters just like you are already gathering.
This is where you can connect with the speakers, ask questions, share insights, and support one another as you take steps toward finishing your quilts. It’s not just about watching sessions. It’s about building momentum together.
Chances to Win
We’ll be playing Bingo during the summit, and yes, there will be prizes.
By participating in sessions and engaging in the Facebook community, you’ll have opportunities to win fun quilting-related prizes, including thread and more. Keep an eye out for your Bingo card and join in for a little extra encouragement and excitement.
Small Quilts, Big Impact – Stitch & Give (Optional)
Throughout the summit, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a special optional project: Small Quilts, Big Impact.
This invitation encourages you to practice what you’re learning on a small quilt while giving back through preemie quilt donations.
This element is deeply personal to me. Over the years, I’ve created and donated many quilts. Later, when my twins were born preemies, we received quilts during that season. The impact of those quilts has stayed with me in a powerful way.
If you choose to participate, this is a meaningful way to build your skills, try new techniques on a manageable project, and create something that brings comfort to someone else.
Participation is completely optional — but the opportunity is there if it speaks to you.
Upgrade for a VIP Experience!
After registering, you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the Move the Needle All-Access Pass.
With the All-Access Pass, you’ll receive extended access to the presentations after the summit wraps up, along with premium bonuses from our speakers and additional resources to help you continue building confidence at your own pace.
You’ll see all the details and a special offer after you grab your free ticket.
