C&T Publishing's At Home With The Experts Series Offers DVDs from your favorite authors. Watching Ann Fahl Teaches You Coloring With Thread DVD, will make you feel like you are having your own private workshop with Ann.

There are demos on how she embroiders on the machine; free-motion using both the straight and zigzag stitch. Ann shows some of her most recent quilts, gives you tips on successful embroidery, and talks about her work.

A short tour of Ann's studio will give you a peek inside where all her quilts are created. She begins the lessons with: information about fusing; thread and embroidery; talks about good lighting; and demonstrates various free-motion techniques. She explains directional stitching; zigzag free-motion; color blending; threading the machine; bobbins and tension; quilting; quilt blocking; and lots more!
