About Me
Hi! My name is Bethanne Nemesh and I am a classically trained artist with degrees in Art and Art Therapy...but more importantly...I've been mastering the art of free motion machine quilting for over 23 years! I have extensively shown my quilts and have been honored to win many major awards in all levels of national and international quilting. My deepest love though, is teaching. I have taught quilters all over the world to love quilting and find their own voice of creative expression through the stitched line. And now...I'm thrilled to be able to bring that experience into your own home digitally! Whether taking a 3 month 1:1 feedback masterclass with me, or a shorter quilt retreat, helping you on your creative journey is my most important achievement!

Bethanne classes are just great! She not only has the ability to create beautiful projects and designs, she also has the knowledge on how to present to students in the easiest to understand method.
I have enjoyed several classes with Bethanne, and I go back and review from time to time, depending on the project I’m working on. Being able to keep the classes, is a huge benefit.
If you take a class, I’m quite sure you will then be looking forward to what she will present next. A wonderful teacher!
This was my 3rd class with Bethanne, AMAZING. The most professional and inspiring teacher ever. The classes ,videos, handout notes and best of all the 24hr feedback( this lady never seems to sleep ) and help and guidance when asked for via the facebook group are second to none. I would ( and constantly do to people that ask) highly recommend anyone that is thinking about doing it just to invest in themselves and do this course .
I have taken three classes from Bethanne- Blooming Botanicals, Feather Fiesta and Breaking Boundaries. They are all amazing. Her pre class notes, explanations and then demonstrations on all types of machine are guaranteed to help each student succeed. Lifetime access is a treasure- any aspect of a design you are struggling with can be reviewed as many times as needed until you are able to master the skill. I hope she developed a new class soon so I can sign up.
The very best class I ever taken. She is such an amazing teacher. I have taken the Fiesta Feathers and the Blooming Botanicals. I have learned so much and just as importantly, I am gaining confidence . I can do this.
I can’t recommend these classes highly enough.
Thank you Bethanne
I love the way Bethanne teaches her classes. There are visuals for drawing, and lots of ideas to build quilting designs. It is helpful that you can see the designs as she quilts them, and she does them on various machines for different quilters. My favorite part about the way she sets up the timeline for the classes, is that you have time to practice between classes. If you practice, you will definitely improve. And you can watch the class over and over again! I love it.
I have been longarm quilting for a while and I love taking Bethanne’s classes!! She offers so much information and ideas that taking her classes is well worth it. She is willing to take the time to go over every step that you need. She is also encouraging in her critique. I have recommended her classes to experienced and beginning quilters.
