Hi, Everyone! So, today's tutorial is a GREAT one (in my humble opinion, of course, haha!) I'm going to show you how to make gorgeous straight line quilting on ANY size quilt. This is my tried and true method for getting perfect straight lines every time I quilt, and I hope you enjoy the process. Beginner quilters, you CAN do this! With a little practice, you can make modern, professional-looking quilts. Let's do this!
You also get a "not so sneaky" peek at my new quilt pattern that I will be releasing later this month! Feel free to ask any questions or just chit-chat in the comments below! Sending you lots of love and happy stitches!

Love quilt. Your walking foot should have quilting bars with it which would allow you key off of your first marked line. I agree that preferences are just that. However, I would observe that 30Wt thread on complex blocks with seam convergences might add unnecessary bulk.

Just found this today! I have a quilt top ready to quilt or TIE- I usually tie quilts. Anyway- it is a blue jean stained glass window quilt, irregular pieces, all squares or rectangles on 2" increments. I do not have Elmer's school glue. I have the backing and the batting. (got to get the glue). btw- Need this for SUNDAY- it's a raffle prize for my family reunion on Sunday. I didn't want to go around EVERY piece (lots are 2" squares), but I thought I'd just sort of randomly go around some of the squares/rectangles. it's various shades of blue jeans with black Kona cotton being the "lead" - which shows 1/2" wide. I think I'm going to quilt black right in the middle of the Kona Cotton "lead" in a random fashion. Wish me luck. :).

I comment this everywhere: DO NOT USE FRIXION PENS!! They are not actually erasable. They are thermo-sensitive. The color/dye of the ink merely turns white when in heat. In cold it comes right back. Ask me how I know. Also, there are a number of videos about these pens.

I have been quilting since the 1990's. I enjoy your channel and your fun way of explaining techniques is refreshing. My go to marking tool for visible lines is a sliver of soap. I keep small pieces of soap in white for most fabrics and green for white fabrics. It is always guaranteed to wash out, never fades away or disappear and does not brush off like chalk. If i may make a suggestion, it might be helpful for newer quilters to mention your stitch length setting as this is a question that is often asked. I personally have the same machine as you and use 2.5 for piecing and 3.0 for quilting.

I have been quilting since the late 1970s, (I was a teenager at the time) and still primarily hand quilt my projects, but this video is inspiring me to give machine quilting another go. I was looking at your stitches to try to figure out what you set for your stitch length. Was your machine set at a 3.5 or 4.0? Oh, and btw, I love the jazz. It reminds me of the music used in “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Thank you for sharing such great content. And all the best with the debut of your new quilt pattern!

I believe this quilting is easier because you have a juki TL sewing machine. Which has a higher throat space, then most home sewing machines. I know my juki HZL LB5100 that I have does not have quite the throat space that you have on this machine. And I struggle trying to do even twin size quilts. Because of less throat space on my machine. Than the one you have, but I'm likeing your quilting method used.

Great tutorial! I also love straight-line quilting, however, when going in the opposite direction (across previous stitching) I sometimes get puckers or the fabric has shifted. Any suggestions how to avoid this? Would love to hear your comments. Thank you.

@StitchObsessed 5 ай бұрын

Hi, Liz! So, I found the best way to avoid those annoying puckers you need to press your quilt top and backing so they lay as flat as possible. Then when basting, making everything again, is perfectly flat. I really like to use glue basting because that holds the layers of quilt together very well. Also, when quilting, make sure you don’t pull or stretch the fabric at all. Your feed dogs should be doing all the work. I also recommend using a walking foot if you are quilting a larger quilt. I hope all this helps! Let me know if you have other questions! 💖

Two comments. First, I love to mark straight lines with a hera. I have found that even though they are made of plastic, the sharp edge of a hera can become a little dull. That makes the crease less precise. So replace a hera as needed. Second, I recently saw a KZfaqr mark her quilt top with a hera before she made her quilt sandwich. I have no idea how a single layer of fabric could hold a crease deep enough to see after the quilt sandwich was basted. That might work on flannel because the nap could show the crease, but I would never mark a single layer of regular quilting cotton. Question: Do you quilt only in one direction in order to avoid puckers, or do you switch with every other row or for each half of the quilt?

@StitchObsessed 7 ай бұрын

Oh wow, yeah I wouldn’t think the Hera marker would make a noticeable enough crease on a single layer of fabric…interesting…BUT if it works for them, then okay! 👏🏻 To answer your question, I do all the lines in one direction first, as I showed in the video. I do one half of the quilt, and then the other in one direction. Then do all the lines for the 2nd direction. This is easiest for me. The way I avoid puckers is in the basting phase when I glue baste. I get the fabric as flat as possible to avoid any puckering or pleating. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching! 💖

Would I be able to make this quilt with 2 layer cakes instead of jellyrolls?

@StitchObsessed 6 ай бұрын

Well, the way I wrote the pattern is you use 2 1/2”x 21” strips of fabric instead of cutting out the individual squares. So yes, you could use layer cakes instead of jellyroll strips. Though, for a king size quilt, you’ll need more than 2 layer cakes.

@maryhollenbach4966 7 ай бұрын

You didn’t address the problem I often have with tuck or little pleats where the new stitches cross perpendicular to the first ones. Do you have any good ways to prevent this? Thanks

@StitchObsessed 7 ай бұрын

The key to avoiding those little tucks or pleats is in the basting step. You want your quilt top to be as flat as possible. I like to glue baste with Elmer's School Glue. I did a full tutorial on how I glue baste, which you can watch here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6iild2lrd3MXXU.html Your quilt top should be pressed (ironed), and then if you glue baste, as I show in that tutorial, you shouldn't have the pleat issue. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching!

@CatyW-zu9ip 3 ай бұрын

Haven't tried it yet but this scenario just came to mind. If one of your straight lines didn't match up exactly with the center of the white blocks what would you have done? For example, the piecing was a little off and therefore would you have sewn the line a little off so that the line still went down the center of the white block. Otherwise the line would be perfectly straight but the error would be more noticeable

@StitchObsessed 3 ай бұрын

I would probably try to find a happy medium between the two options. I'm of the opinion that you are the only one who is going to notice your mistakes. The person you are gifting the quilt to won't notice if one of the lines is slightly off. I hope that helps!

I was wondering why you don’t just use the quilting guide you can attach to the quilting foot. Is there an advantage to marking as opposed to the guide set to the right amount of space between lines?

@StitchObsessed 26 күн бұрын

Well, I have a few reasons why! First, I don’t have the guide that works with my walking foot 😂 it’s sold separately and I’ve just never ordered it. Second reason: It allows me to see what the lines will look like before stitching, and if I decide I want a different distance between my lines, I can make that change before doing any stitches. And thirdly, I just plain enjoy the process lol
