Hi Angie, I have just finished quilting using the zippers that you sent to me. What a game changer. I love them very, very much. I've followed along with this video on how to attach the binding to the quilt and how to attach the 2 end pieces on the frame and I'm telling you I had to press pause a few times but wow I was so happy pulling that quilt off my frame and it was completely done. (Except for the binding stitching, which I love to do watching TV in the evenings). Thank so so much!!!!!

Now that I have my own machine and watched how you do the binding I think I will give it a try on the longarm. Because I don't like hand sewing, I will finish the last seam on my domestic machine. Thank you for your great instructions. Someday could you show us how you finish the other side of the binding process using a domestic machine.

You explained and showed that so well. Just so I understand, your motors were engaged, but you did not have the ProStitcher channel locks selected? Thank you!

@angiesanswers91 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! That’s is correct. My favorite way to do this is with the Pro gears down so the crosshairs are orange but no channel locks engaged. If you don’t have a Pro, you can use the white hold tight clamps and that will create resistance in both directions to make it easier to sew straight lines. Thank you for watching!

Hi Cathy! I use the channel locks that are built in to my Pro-Stitcher computer. This will lock the machine so I adjust the fabric to meet where the machine is stitching. I create all my 90 degree corners with the channel locks. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

I have just one question. Do you square up your quilt top prior to putting it on the longarm? If not how do you make sure it is square before sewing on the binding? I am a newbie at this so any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA

@angiesanswers91 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Martha, We use the channel locks on the longarm to square the quilt. So we start on the top edge and sew from the middle out with a channel lock. Then we also use channel locks to keep the vertical edges square as we are quilting down the quilt. We do have a video on this whole process on our website called Load it, Square it, Quilt it! stores.longarmconnection.com/classes/ Keep a quilt square can be tricky and the more comfortable you are with basting the edges the easier putting binding on will be!

I charge $.07 per inch around the quilt at attach to only 1 side. If they want it completely attached and finished I charge $.21 per inch. Say the quilt is 90x108 so I add 90+90+108+108 = 396 then multiply $.07 or $.021 I have another video that shows how I machine bind to close it up and finish it.
