I've got a bunch of online classes sitting on ice over here and the next one I am releasing is called Free Motion Graffiti! This class is perfect for those who took Beneath the Surface or for those of you who have overflowing collections of scrap fabric!
Free motion graffiti is a term that I started using a few years ago to describe the process that I often use when sewing. Inspired by graffiti it is the concept of using fabric and the sewing machine to layer, create expressive stitching, be messy, make marks and create fiber surfaces that have a graffiti vibe. I briefly touch on the concept of free motion graffiti in my new book- Sew Wild- but in this class I will dive into greater detail about free motion sewing techniques and concepts- mark making, doodling and drawings, how to use and create lettering, utilizing scraps and more!. This class is sure to get you inspired to think outside the box!
Here is a peek-
A few important facts about Free Motion Graffiti-
It is great if you are a beginner but would be VERY helpful if you are a little familiar with basic sewing.
You will need a sewing machine and eventually a free motion/darning foot for the class- don't worry this information will be covered.
Keep in mind- sewing can be challenging (especially if you are a beginner) but with time and a little practice it becomes super fun!
Registration for Free Motion Graffiti opens today and the class goes live on Friday, September 23rd!
The structure of this class is a little different from my others and it is reflected in the price- $40.00
(It is not large enough to be a 5 lesson class and not small enough to be a mini class- it is somewhere in between!)
Also different from many of my classes- the lessons are posted all at once and ready for you to dive into. And just like the rest of my online classes you have unlimited access to come and go as you please for as long as you want.
For all the details and to register hop on over to my online shop-
GIVEAWAY!
And last I will be giving away 4 free spots in the class!
Leave me a comment
I will pick and announce the winners on Friday!

I love to sew and this class would help me add a personal touch to my art quilts!
The images look great. I have always loved the look of free motion sewing. I would love a spot in your class.

LOVED the Beneath the Surface class and would love to be able to take this one too. To win a spot in this class would be wonderful!
I have a quilting foot but have not really used it much. Would love to learn more about this technique!
This looks like it will be a great class! Thank you for sharing.
OH MY GOODNESS! I am soooo excited.
I would LOVE to learn a some tips and tricks from you! YAYAYAYAYAY!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for this one! Thanks so much for the chance to win such a wonderful prize Alisa!
YAY!
Your video is mesmerizing! I watched it twice already! I have always wanted to take your classes but couldn't quite afford it! I'm hoping to win this one! :)
Best wishes with the baby!
This class looks like so much fun! My sister gave me a sewing machine five years ago...and I have never used it...I guess I should blow the dust off of it and try this!!
I love sewing already....would be so fun to learn the ins and outs of free motion
Oh, how fun!! I am scared of my sewing machine. You make it look so easy. I would love to learn.
I'm inspired by the graphicness of graffiti just like you. I ordered your "Sew Wild" book twice by accident, because I was so excited for it to be released, and forgot I had originally ordered it weeks earlier. Oops! The video you created to promote the class is very enticing. I know I'd have a blast as a student and would enjoy the artistic camaraderie of my classmates. I really hope you select me as one of your four winners. p.s. I sew on a Bernina too!
This is so generous of you. I would love to take this course!! I'm on a really tight budget right now and need some new inspiration. Fingers crossed!!!! I love your work!!!
Hi Alisa! I sew want to win a spot in your new class! I received Sew Wild on Friday, watched the DVD just now, and now this class is perfect after taking Beneath the Surface! I've only tried my free-motion foot once without much luck! I would love to continue adding to my surface design skills! Thanks for the chance to win! Hugs!
Oh wow this looks so fun! I would love to win a spot in your free motion graffiti class! I just ordered your new book and it should be arriving tomorrow. I can hardly wait!

Just visited your online site to see details abut class. I am thinking seriously to get into this.
YOU just keep pulling me in and i'm thrilled! xoxo
thank YOU for leaving the classes up. life happens with all of us and we forget things too. loving all your classes!
Hi Alisa
with your book on it's way to the Netherlands, this would be a TERRIFIC addition!
After watching the video, I see what the secret is...that music just makes you want to keep stitching. Don't stop, don't stop, I found myself wanting to jump up from the computer, thread up some black thread and get to stitchin. I have already left a comment for the class opportunity, I just wanted you to know I "like" the video!

Lots of people before me, but its always worth go, especially for such a fun project.
I want a free spot!! I love your style so much! Uncontrolled and messy... but beautiful. I cannot wait to get your book in the mail!! You're such an inspiration.
I just looked at all of your Vimeos. I love the choices of music and your free spirit art style. My style is similar and I love to mix it up and make things fun. I check in to your blog often and wanted to wish you a happy and safe delivery of your new little one. How exciting! You two will be wonderful parents. What a lucky baby.

You are amazing with the free motion sewing - I have tried and loooove the look, but find it very tricky so I'm impressed by you Alisa!
Congratulations on the book!
after purchasing your first book this summer, I immediately ordered your new book about 3 weeks ago from amazon.de. But I still have to wait .... I am already very impatient ....
Maybe your online class could help to bear the waiting better. anyway, sooner or later I will sign up to your online classes.
all your work is great! congratulations!
many greetings from Austria!
love this! Wow, I'd love to win!

i think of all your classes, THIS is the one that i need to take! i've sewn forever, and i've done mixed media artwork for years now, but i don't really combine them. i keep saying that i will, but i really need some sort of push to jumpstart me!
the class looks amazing, thank you so much for the chance!
I have wanted to take one of your classes ever since I saw them. They look AMAZING!!
Alisa, I've just taken your last class and so enjoyed it. This class sounds like a must for me. I love the look of messy stitching on projects but have no idea what I'm doing or where to start!
Look forward to joining you for a new class! Thanks!
Please pick me ;)
Wow. Exciting techniques, thanks for the free spot opp!
What a fun class! I tried to do some free motion sewing before and it never worked out like how I wanted.
Free motion quilting scares me. There, I said it! But I'm sure you'll make it fun like everything else :)
I loved your video! It looks so fun :) Now all I need is to find a free motion/darning foot for my machine...hmmmmm
Thanks for the chance of winning :)
AHHHH ... I would love to be able to participate - this class looks amazing! thanks so much for the opportunity XO

I don't know how I found your blog, but I'm so glad I did! This class sounds (and looks) fun and exciting :0)
Hi, have just discovered your work and loving it. Watching and reading your work is sending me inspiration across the ocean. Thank you
i am really loving sketchbook delight and would gladly take another one of your classes! you rock!!
What a cool concept! I have been looking for a reason to dig out my sewing machine again.
I can't wait for this class!
Thanks Alisa, for all of the gorgeous inspiration.
I've always been somewhat intimidated by machine quilting of any kind, but this looks so fun!

Oh heck yes! I would love to take this class! Free motion is a challenge because I'm so used to patterns. I would love to learn to loosen up in an artistic way.
would love to win your class -- your book just arrived in the mail and I flipped through it last night -- looks wonderful!
This is SO great! I'd love to take that class! (and I love your work!)
This looks so wonderful! I am always so inspired by your blog and have your first book, and waiting to get the 2nd one. Thank you for the giveaway, hope I get a spot!
I found you through Christy Tomlinson and your class looks like it would be so much fun and interesting doing art with material. I think my old 40's Singer Sewing machine would love the workout!! I would love to win a spot in your class.....
I love your classes. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this one as I've not gotten my sewing machine out of the box, but I'd certainly love to try it out some day
I've wanted to learn how to free motion stitch for the longest time!!! This class looks amazing!!!
This class sounds absolutely amazing!!!!
Loved watching the video. It went against everything my strict perfectionist sewing teacher instilled in me! Can't wait to feel the freedom of free motion graffiti!
Thanks Alicia for breaking boundaries and giving me a chance to enjoy using my sewing machine.
Would love to win a spot! Enjoyed GC so much!
I am so excited about this class and the opportunity to learn more. Totally enjoyed all the tips and techniques you shared in Beneath the Surface class. Thanks for sharing all the inspiration!
Oh...I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that mine is the lucky number! Thanks for this awesome opportunity!

Eeeeek!
Probably too late but.....would LOVE to do this and have a tiny bit of experience, but I'm always horrified by the messy look I end up with.
But, maybe if I see it as free motion graffiti........
I'll keep my fingers crossed!

omg this class sounds fun iwould love to take the class so i can get more practice on my new yardsale-find sewing machine!
I'd love to win a spot in this class! And I am aware that it will take [lots of] practice -- despite your video making it look so easy!
Wow! I just bought a new Pfaff machine and made sure to get the free motion foot, but I haven't tried it yet. Love the look of this new class! WoW!
Just found your site off the new weallsew.com blogroll, and was so captivated by your free motion graffiti vimeo! Had to heart it and share with friends before I even reached the end. Awesome fun. This type-A sewist could really use a giveaway spot to learn from your outside-the-lines style!
Can't miss that signed up!
Would love to take this class!
Alisa this looks seriously cool and messy - LOVE your style, so unique. I've got a newfound passion for stitching and free motion since taking one of Christy's workshops - also where I found you. I'm popping straight to see your new book - how exciting.
Very pleased to meet you!
You are crazy talented, this video is amazing.
you're gonna' be a fun mom!!!!
Just wanted stop by and let you know I love your work. I can't wait to take this class! It's on my Xmas list. I am somewhat new to sewing yet free motion graffiti is all I want to do! I love to make childrens boutique cloths And think this is the edge I have been looking for. Cheers!
