Even free memberships at TQS can have fun. Check out the free videos, plus their blog for great tutorials, inspiration and fun. And, if you didn't see their blog post about the new Magic Stitch Eraser, definitely take time to check out this amazing new tool. SewCalGal highly recommends the Magic Stitch Eraser tool for quilters of all levels!
While every quilter should belong to TQS, there are a lot of reasons to become a Star Member of TQS from getting unlimited access to shows released during your membership that you can watch at your leisure and watch again and again, even if your subscription expires!
{above} There are pages and pages of FREE Projects, including this cute "Bird on a Branch" wallhanging design, by Linda Jenkins that all Star Members get access to.
And, Star Members are offered access to a variety of "bonus" tutorial videos. Earlier this year, many participating in SewCalGal's 2013 Free-Motion Quilting (FMQ) Challenge enjoy watching a free video where Libby Lehman shared insights on Threadplay and we've created a FMQ challenge for quilters using Libby's technique too!
Currently, Star Members have access to view three DVDs by Award winning designer, teacher, author Sharon Shamber through June 30th.
Designing for the Quilting ProcessYes, Star Members at TQS can watch three DVD videos by Sharon Schamber for free through June 30th! Not a member? At a minimum, create a free account and go watch show #802- Tips and Tricks for Triangles and Stars, with Edyta Sitar. This episode is currently free to all members (even free membership) at TQS. Just remember if you don't yet have a free account with TQS, you need to take a moment to setup a free account to be able to watch this free episode. But the Star Membership fees are really quite reasonable and you get so much value and fun as a member, I do hope you'll check it out. And, for those that might be wondering - No, SewCalGal doesn't make money if you are a member or not. It is simply a matter that I think TQS is a great value for quilters!
Sharon walks you thru the process of designing a whole cloth quilt. Sections in this DVD cover: Tools and deciding on the scale, Creating the Triangle, Center Medallion, Mirroring, Circles, Feathers, Radiating Lines, Marking the Quilt, Gridlines and more.
Domestic Quilting: Filling the Spaces
Sharon shows the how to get that quilt quilted as she shares nsights on the best basting technique I've seen, Feathers, Square Wreaths, Paisley, Ditch Work, Borders, and various tips!
Domestic Beginning Stippling
Sharon provides a basic stippling class using your domestic sewing machine. Designs include not just basic stippling, but also a Serpentine, Gridwork, Pebble or Circle, Bubble in a Bubble, Woodgrain and various tips.

I have a free membership at TQS and have found lots of neat things. When they had their free weekend awhile back, I watched videos till I was a bit "red-eyed and blurry" but I enjoyed every moment. I've been considering a Star membership but felt the time wasn't right cost-wise. A year free would be sublime and by that time $$ would seem more feasible. :)
I follow with GFC and Reader but also by email - I don't want to miss anything!!
I enjoy watching TQS when they offer their free shows. There's a lot to enjoy, thanks at the chance for the giveaway!
I love TQS! I am a star member but I love it when they offer all their shows for free so I can watch former episodes I don't normally have access too.
I follow on blogger, have a free membership and can watch some episodes from my earlier membership - love tqs :-)
I was following on google reader and now I use Bloglovin. This looks like lots of fun. Throwing my hat in the ring!
