When and Where

The summit runs from April 22–24. Each day you’ll have access to a variety of workshops 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 workshops from our lineup of machine quilting educators who share their perspective on walking foot, ruler, and free-motion quilting.

Your free ticket includes 24-hour access to each workshop during the summit. This gives you focused time to watch, be inspired, 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.

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. 

Participation is completely optional — but the opportunity is there if it speaks to you.

Scholarship

I am dedicated to helping you finish your quilts with creative edge to edge designs and making the process as easy as possible. To help, you’ll hear about my Motif Builder Academy Program here and there throughout the event.

On the final day, one lucky (and engaged) attendee will be selected to win a full
scholarship and have instant access to hundreds of video trainings, stitch outs, resources, and community to make finishing your quilts with your own E2E designs easy. 

Stay tuned for details and your chance to apply!

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.

AND THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WOVEN INTO THIS EVENT.

We’re introducing an optional Small Quilts, Big Impact – Stitch & Give element. This invitation encourages you to practice your skills on a small project while giving back through preemie quilt donations.

This piece is deeply personal for me. I’ve created and donated many quilts over the years. 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.

This optional element is about practicing your skills in a meaningful way and remembering that quilting has the power to comfort, connect, and serve.

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.
