Art & Stitch OnDemand Classes

As a freelance educator I have been contracted by Baby Lock to record a few Art & Stitch Classes.
The following list has the titles and descriptions for each of the classes.


*Looking into the Magic with Art & Stitch-Beginner 
Within the Art & Stitch program there are three different magic features.  Magic circle turns on element into a circle of elements that create one design.  Magic Square transforms an element into blocks or borders depending on your rotation and the design.  Using the Magic Rays you can add a special echo quilting technique around applique or embroidery design.  Join us to see the many styles of magic with Art & Stitch. 
Lesson 1 Magic Circle
Lesson 2 Magic Circle rotating in and out
Lesson 3 Magic Square
Lesson 4 Magic Rays

*TrueType Fonts: Making them More Than Letters with Art & Stitch-Intermediate 
Did you know that there are TrueType fonts that can be downloaded from the internet?  Some of our favorite TT fonts are flowers, butterflies, snowflakes, and even Hawaiian quilt blocks can be found as a TT font.  Be sure to take this class and learn more about what TT fonts can bring to your quilting world using the Art & Stitch software. 
Lesson 1 Making a snowflake design from TT fonts
Lesson 2 Quilt labels making

*Dot to Dot Digitizing- Intermediate 
When we were children we learned to draw with coloring books and dot to dot.  Digitizing is simplified when we learn how to create a quilting pattern using dot to dots.  We will walk you through the process of downloading the dot to dot, bringing the image into your Art & Stitch program and then digitize a beautiful quilting design. 
Lesson 1 Using Dot to Dot basic steps to digitizing
Lesson 2 Computer downloaded clipart to design 


Making Blocks Using Art & Stitch and Clip Art-Beginner
Are you looking to make a design that compliments your quilt block or fabric?  Maybe you have a theme that you are looking to convey and there are no designs to match your thoughts.  Bringing in clip art into the Art & Stitch software will help you to simplify the process.  Learn how to digitize a block from clip art that can be downloaded from the internet. 
Lesson 1 Using Dover Publications and clipart to create a design
Lesson 2 Computer Clipart to design

Designing from a Backdrop with Art & Stitch-Beginner
Take a snap shot of fabric and bring the image into the Art & Stitch software to create a one of a kind design that compliments your quilt.  Almost any image can become a quilting design.  When taking this class you will look at your world from a different perspective.  Carpet, buildings, wallpaper, fabric, and sew much more will be images that you can create your very own personal quilting designs from.  With this class your new window to the world starts today.
Lesson 1 Using scanned images
Lesson 2 Importing camera images


From Block to Border to Quilt—All with Art & Stitch – Beginner
Creating a block can be easy, but have you ever wanted to create a block and border that came from the same element.  We will take you through the process of creating a block from an existing design found in the Art & Stitch library.  Then we will take the block and turn it into a border, corner and other designs that you will be able to quilt and will complement each other.  They will be similar designs but very different. 
Lesson 1 Edit an existing designs from library
Lesson 2 Creating the block to border
