The heart shape is a core shape for Free-motion-quilting. We use it on it's own and in combination with other shapes.

Our tutorial shows lots of different ways to create and extend the heart shape in many directions. The Line Dancing tutorial will get you doodling and stitching in all directions. You'll see some great thread tips too.
There are some fun ideas for Valentine projects.
