She begins by exhibiting a sample book, what she calls a machine-quilting stitch book. She made it as inspiration and as a reference of the variety of machine stitches available for consideration. She will demonstrate the steps you can take to make your own sample book.
The second technique she teaches in this Learn, Make, Create! episode is called tie tacking. This is done on a domestic sewing machine. Sherry discusses how this technique is useful for machine quilting.
