Absolutely the best instructions I have seen. You even beat Angela Walters.

You are the Bob Ross of quilting-so laid back.

Dear Sir, you have erased my free motion quilting inhibitions (based on my fear of imperfection) and I THANK YOU!! Your tutorial is wonderfully detailed, I feel as if I’m standing in the room in real time. I’m ready to dive in! It only took 45 years to get here 😂. Bravo to you and your fabulous presentation and instruction!

Best explanations about free motion I have ever seen !Thanks a lot for this video

Hi Alain. Thank you so much for your video. After 45 years of sewing I decided to start quilting. I watch videos and quilt something. Your video is the best 🙂

Love the way you explain it in a calm voice. No extra silly stories i here some do which are so irrelevant. Thanks

This tutorial was brilliant. I have 6500P so it was marvellous to see how she can be used. Have had her for years. Thanks again. Dani in UK.

Thank you so very much! You have an awesome teaching style! I look forward to working my way through each of your videos! Your website is amazing too!

I am so glad to have found your channel. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. Keep up the good work. Love the Patriots shirt.

I am totally fascinated with this art. I love that you have taken the time to teach us step by step. Thank you, I really appreciate you! Blessings ☺️

I have to say that I really enjoy your style of teaching. I think it is great that you explain each design as you are drawing it out, and again you talk us through it as you are quilting it. You are a great teacher....

You’re the first instructor that broke through my fear barrier! Thank you. I have played with free motion but now I believe I just need to practice. Thanks again.♥️👍🤓

Thankyou so much...I just finished episode 1 of this series and intend to start practicing. You covered a lot so clearly and comprehensively. BRAVO !!

very good instructions, really hope every new quilter sees this . thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the great tips & ideas. Just started FMQ and drawing helps immensely. I put a piece of card stock in a sheet protector to make a cheap dry erase surface. This provides lots of beginner practice without using a lot of paper. Once I get the hang of it, I switch to paper. Thank you again

I have been so scared to try free motion quilting. You have given me courage to give it a go. Thank you.

Thank you enjoy the tutorial awsome teacher

You are a excellent teacher...thanks for sharing

I appreciate the challenge. I have avoided practicing and learning tips. Thanks

You are excellent teacher the best tutorial I have seen thank you and please do more

I agree with others, your style of teaching is calm, straight forward and complete! It is the best I have seen so far. Thank you.

I like your approach. Calm, simple, slow very non intimidating

Thank you for this tutorial. I just learned free motion quilting today and it is so fun and addictive. As a newbie, I realize I have to start from the basic and not to rush to make complicated design. So I search and here I am. Your tutorial really give me ideas where to start and I'm going to do it right away. Thank you.

This was awesome! Thank you! ❤️

Working with sandwich squares seem easy but rotating a whole quilt seems intimidating. Love your videos.

OMG! I found this video this morning when it popped up in my KZfaq feed and am I happy, I subscribed to your channel immediately. I'm a seamstress but have always, always love quilting.Your detailed tutorial is exactly what I need. I have bought all the rulers, templates designs that I like, all the feet for my domestic machine and books. I use my industrial machines to do my regular sewing. Your explanations and showing how it's done is totally out of this world. I thank you so much, keep up the good work because I'll be watching all of your videos.

That was great!

Looking forward to learning

Ooh just found your channel I’m so excited.

Thank you for the series. I love your style of explaining and teaching! I am here for all your videos!!

Great! very comprehensive video for a beginner like me to learn free motion quilting. A good confidence booster. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.

Great video looking at free motion in a whole new way. I especially like the way you say start with a pencil. Love all the videos, have learned a lot from you guys and I've been doing this for 30 years.

Such a gentle teacher.x

Great instruction!!! I am going to implement your teaching to my free motion quilting.

Great tutorial, have just ordered my Teflon slider, can’t wait to start

Your video is great. Thank you for the detailed instructions. I will need lots of practice!

Thank you so much for the video, Alain! I appreciate the time you spent… very well done! I’m now looking forward to learning FMQ!

Hi, I just found your first FMQ video and am enjoying your style of teaching. I am not a true beginner but still have lots to learn. I am a strong believer in pen and paper "doodling" to build muscle memory. When learning a motif that way, you are better prepared to do it at the sewing machine. OH, you and I have the same Janome sewing machine. Although the model has been out for many years, I was able to purchase a new one that came with a great bundle a few years ago and I love it! It has more than enough features for me. I upgraded to this machine and love having the 9" throat space. I am excited to learn from you and love how you explain things in detail without you rushing through something. (I also am a Angela Walters fan). Thanks again.... Jackson

I am so glad this popped up! I am making a tee-shirt quilt for a granddaughter and I've been practicing FMQ, I've bought all the accessories, and this video is a fantastic help! I made another t-shirt quilt for my oldest granddaughter 4 years ago and it was a huge success, but I have forgotten so much of the techniques I used. Thanks

Amazing tutorial! 🎉 Thank-you so much for your detailed instructions and samples!

I had a Janome 6600P. Really liked it. It was an amazing machine.

Really enjoyed your tips

Thanks for the challenge.

❤ just found your channel and thank you for very clear instructions. Have been putting this off for to long.

new subscriber i have only watched two videos and i have learned so much. Thank you....🙏🙏🙏🙏

From Chile, thank you so much!

Jan 3 2021: starting to FMQ with your indepth tutorial. Thanks for the upload

This is such a good tutorial best yet! and I’ve watched many. The only thing I do find difficult is the noise your machine makes like it’s catching and about to snag or break the needle.

Thank you so much!! Hoping to FMQ my first quilt this month and hoping it goes well 🙏🏻 very thorough and straight to the point, hope to see more instructional from you guys!

First time watching. I like that you are a Patriots fan, let's wish them good luck!

Thank you. Your teaching style is really helpful. I have seen plenty KZfaq lessons. Glad this popped up.

Great FMQ video, thanks!

I also have been very reluctant in trying the FMQ but now I feel like I can probably do this!! Thanks so much!

This is such a great tutorial! I’m new and have a T SHIRT QUILT I’m quilting for a friend and I’m so nervous. This gives me confidence. Thank you!

Great video. You make it look so relaxing.

Ohhhh where have you been ……. My absolute fear of free motion quilting has been quelled … love what you are teaching … you make it so easy ❤ question, what type/s of tracing paper do you recommend? Is baking paper OK…. I am from Australia ❤

Awesome videos. I am about to try FMQ for the first time and so glad I found your videos first!!

for the first time free motion on a machine I did the pebbles and I master free motion I was so happy and my grandson quilt came out amazing

Excellent video. Great demonstration of FMQ. Easy to follow and understand how to get yourself out of traps. Made me feel like I can FMQ. Thanks.

I love your method of teaching. I'm going to try quilting again. Was not to successful first time round . Thanks you.

Thank you!

This was very easy to follow along with. You made the process of learning each technique very simple and low stress. I really learned a lot about how to approach learning the circles. Thank you. Look forward to #2.

I purchased both of your informational booklets. Waiting for them to come so I can start trying out your techniques. You are so easy to understand. I don't understand about what kind of needles you are using and where you can purchase them. I just ordered the teflon sheet you said you used. Can't wait to get started.

Thank you so very much!!! I am that person with the hope of learning to FMQ this year. Over the last week or so i have watched a lot of videos abd tried 3 test blocks but oh boy..... Lots of squares i.s.o.roundings..but i was not turning the block around to sew in a different direction,i also did not draw the motive on the block which i am going to try right now! This was by far the most informative video i have come ascross so thank you once again. Kind regards from sunny South Africa

I started watching your video cause you look a lot like Sam Heughan... Outlander actor... but I kept watching because I learned so much on free motion quilting. Thank you.

Merci pour cette vidéo d’apprentissage. J’essaie d’apprendre car je n’ai jamais fait de quilting machine. Milles merci 🙏

The drawing exercises are effective: I use the same technique/process before painting on a canvas or watercolor; sketching first creates a memory that allows replication to occur much more easily.

Ive got the closed darning foot it works good free motioning

Very helpful

I'm sorry if you've already stated this, but what brand of clear extension table do you have?? I love the edges on yours!

Great educational video on free motion quilting! What brand of water solvable pen do you use? I may try that for new designs. I can meander and loop de loop but want to build and expand my skills this year.

Greetings Alain, I have been watching your videos and am waiting for the new videos, when will you get back to posting new videos and designs?

Still on episode 1 practicing the patterns.

Very good video.thank you for sharing valuable ideas. I am going to start quilting using my home machine. kindly tell can I do the machine quilting using zigzag machine. If yes what kind of adjustment needs to do?

How do you move the fabric when it’s a queen size quilt and not a sample?

Thank you for very useful information only thing I would like to recommend is stop using autofocus on your camera it’s created noise and blurry pictures

Great video, thank you. Do you have a video for the appliqué rooster on the wall behind you ?

Oaow!!

Do you drive with the pedal or the button ? The speed is so even =) I have only tried a tiny little and didn’t have this smart tips

I have a question about swirls: When you are finishing one swirl does it matter which direction you go for the next swirl?

Where do you look when your are free motion quilting? At the needle or where you are heading?

I apologize if this has been answered but where can I find the ruler foot you used?

Love what your teaching but is your camera on auto focus?

The foot with the tiny hole is not a free motion foot, but a darning foot.

I forgot to ask, what type of Teflon do you use??

Where can I find an adhesive Teflon sheet? I’ve googled it but unable to find. Thanks.

At the 29:00 mark approximately, did you put the feed dogs down?

How can you see where you’re going with that thick, closed foot?

Not to get off the topic but....You’re a Pat’s Fan!!! Subscribing to your channel now became more special. LOL.

I am not clear as to why you draw a template first? And then you drew free hand the same pattern on the sample quilt square.

Question …I followed your instructions on how to set my machine for free motion quilting .. I have the same Janome Mastercraft 6500 sewing machine … however, with your settings, I was getting eyelashes on the back of the fabric … I was using quilting thread … maybe that’s what was wrong? I changed to regular polyester thread and changed my settings back to normal and no more eyelashes!

Go Chiefs!

Boughten??
