If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have started free motion quilting. My stitching was just as bad, if not worse. I’m now two quilts in and I’m still working on my stitch length and controlling my hand motions. You’re right that you need to start somewhere. I love my quilt and my daughter loved it so much she asked that I make one for her too. So glad I started. Thank you for this video. ❤❤

This is by far and away the best how to video I’ve EVER seen on free motion quilting!!! Other presenters just seem to assume you can see inside their head. 😂 The details you included are exactly what newbies need! Yes, details!!! And I’m not a newbie, but I can always learn stuff and I did appreciate the info on needle and thread and hv been hvg some issues myself in switching from cotton to Glide thread. I like your idea of finding one kind that works and sticking with that! Our heads are too full of problems, these days, to hold a bunch of extra stuff. Unfortunately, I bought a whole bunch of colors of glide to use on some projects, so I’m committed to figuring it out! 😬 Re: burying thread tails: I always used to bury all my thread tails. But it took so long and was so tedious that it took all the fun out of quilting! Then one day it dawned on me: (if you’ve ever had to remove some quilting stitches, you know how hard it is to get those stitches out!) If they’re that hard to get out when I’m TRYING to remove them, what are the chances they’re going to come out by themselves? Zero! I highly doubt they will EVER come out by themselves! So now I don’t worry about burying the tails. ❤ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great video. I am at about your level of FMQ. I don't bury my thread ends either. BUT, I just learned something that makes cutting the bobbin thread easier by not having to turn the quilt over to the back. When you lock stitch (back & forth) at the end, snip your upper thread. Place your fabric so your needle will be in the same spot as you ended. Then do as you did in the beginning to pull of the bobbin. Drop needle and lift. Pull the clipped thread to pull up bobbin and now you can clip bobbin thread without turning quilt over.

“if you feel like things are getting out of control just stop “ that’s advice that should be on everyone’s personal top 10 guidelines to live by list. This video went by so fast. I did learn plenty of things I didn’t already know. The thing with the bobbin thread and pulling it to the back was perfectly explained. When I was just learning to sew and use my machine I did not understand that. I read it in the manual and a few books. Until this video I never saw it in pictures or a video. In my mind pulling it to the back just meant to the backside of the needle. The problem that caused took me years to figure out. It never occurred to me that the bobbin thread was causing the problem. Years and tons of frustration and two trips to the repairman that I didn’t need later he observed me sewing because he couldn’t reproduce the problem I was having. He immediately saw it and after he stopped laughing he explained. I don’t bury my threads. Ever. I’m still probably not going to do free motion quilting. If I change my mind I have an idea how to and I know where to find you. Excellent video. Your knack for patiently showing and explaining not only how but why is unrivaled. TFS.

Thank you for the reminder. I stopped quilting for over 20 years and I have restarted and found that I had forgotten how to free motion so I have been using my walking foot and doing line designs on my quilts. I want to get back to free motion because I remember how much fun it was. This video reminded me of things that I had completely forgotten. Thank you so much. I agree it is like doodling with thread.

@carolg.6838 9 ай бұрын

I find it hard to re-learn after years of not quilting and also learning new things. But usually with deadlines for a gift 🙄. Realized my machine needed to be serviced and the tension was not my fault. Even so, I needed the walking foot for piecing. I just picked out all the quilting on a quilt to gift. Just stitch in the ditch, a friend told me I had to hold my hands mor like Traci to avoid puckering. Also did not follow other necessary tips for success because I was impatient. I am not sure if I will quilt this one again, tie it, or pay for quilting. But I think I will practice free motion on small quilts perhaps of ugly or sun faded fabrics for my cats or me. I wonder if FM can be used on potholders with Insulbright and batting.

Oh thank you for showing how to stop and start. I use my walking foot when I do free motion. I guess you would say I walk my way around my quilt. I can use the other foot I suppose. But I haven't tried the other foot as of yet. The walking foot and I are getting along fantastic with what I am doing anyway. But, as I was saying. Thank you for showing the start and stop that you did right up close so it could be seen really well. I always did fairly well starting by guessing what the other channels said to do. But they never said how to stop. So my quilting was a mix match of pulling the thread up or taking the tail of the thread and hiding it inside the quilt. I did this both starting and stopping. Sometimes I just messed up. But the end. I always had to hide it with hand sewing inside the batting. Wow what a game changer. Nope, never plan to compete with my quilts. I just like playing around and owning my mistakes. My quilt my way. Ha I really enjoy your channel.

Holey moley girl! Why on earth would you be embarrassed by the quilting on that first quilt for your daughter? It looks intricate and deliberate. Don't tell anyone it has mistakes, and they'll never know. I love your videos. Even though i don't have funds to support you financially, I can be a cheerleader! ❤❤❤

TY! TY! TY! for sharing your journey with the thread and learning FMQ> I was also told I MUST use 100% cotton thread, on 100% cotton quilt shop only fabric and wool batting if I wanted my quilts to last more than a cpl years. Well I knew that wasn't so bc I have used walmart fabric most of my quilting and garment sewing life... bc it was what I could afford. I now have a quilt that is 32 yrs old made from walmart fabric, dual duty thread and poly batting. AND it is an amazing. I DID hand quilt all my quilts till recently but have now jumped into the FMQ pool... very cautiously lol. TFS your video it was very informative.

Hi Tracy. I absolutely love this video. Thank you. Makes me want to go try FMQ tonight. Honestly, the only thing I would do in this video is to say give the FMQ foot spring a drop of oil, along with the needle bar. I only say this because the first time I gathered the courage to FMQ, the foot was squeaking and felt ... tight, I suppose....that was about ayearr and a half ago. I recently serviced my machin, and I very quietly asked the sales person where am I supposed to oil and what am I supposed to oil. Thu, I learned a month ago where to oil my needle bar, and, the spring on whatever FMQ foot I was experimenting with. But, as always, thank you so much for your very informative videos. I love them all.❤

Soooo sorrry!!! That I didn’t get back to you about your tutorial. I got so busy with a difficult quilt that I’m doing QAYG. It took me 1 month just to put the 8, 20” blocks together. Now working on the sashes. Loved your presentation…but I love just about all your work. Thanks BJ. PS I have now way to show you what I’m doing 😢

I think all the little mistakes and bumps along the way are what make a quilt special. I looked at the quilt you thought was done not so perfect and I thought it was absolutely beautiful!! It was something I would have bought at a market and been excited to get it home!!

You’re such an honest and amazing teacher. No frills, no upsales pitches…just truly what works for you Miss Tracy. This is why so many people love your channel. Even though I have a long arm, I learned more about needle and threads in this video than I did the past 3 yrs of quilting. So thank you for that. 😊 by the way, your granddaughter is just adorable. What a beauty. 😌 Have a most marvelous weekend. It’s Friday…wahoo. Now to finish the strawberry challenge top…these hour glasses aka broken dishes do not like me. 😝 but I shall conquer!!! 🤪 hubby is loving the color combo so far. He says you made a great pattern. 🤗

Awe Debbie...you are sweet❣️ It really is amazing once you understand the basic thread/needle knowledge how it changes the way you look at sewing in general. I think too many always talk about so many threads and needles at once that it confuses people🤷🏻‍♀️ YAY it's the weekend❤️
