I ❤this. I’m ready to hand quilt for the first time and this was a wonderful tutorial!

@stitchwishes499 9 жыл бұрын

Oh that crossed stitch is just what I've been looking for! I'm working on my first quilt after practicing and learning on smaller projects. I've been pondering how to quilt it and think this will be lovely. I'd not heard of Jen Kingwell before, thanks for introducing her to a new audiences!

My Great-Grandmother used to lap quilt and has done the cross-stitch method seen on here for one of her quilts. It’s an gorgeous, dad and easy method. I love that this is being shown on an tutorial as my grandmother is no longer here to show me these things and so I am trying to teach myself and it’s been a lot of hit and miss with the videos...people have their own way of doing things and some people aren’t very descriptive. Thank you die this helpful video. The quilt is gorgeous 🤩 the one in the background is beautiful too. 💜

I'm so glad I found you! I keep looking for quilts and keep finding machine quilts and I learned how to do this for my grandmother but it's been years. I want to make a quilt the way she did so we are doing the running stitch or the crosses if I'm feeling a little less inclined to do this forever

Seriously! I don’t know how this even popped up lol I never would watch something on hand quilting! I tried it ten years ago and thought it was for the birds, but this seems so doable !!!! I never thought to try NOT in a frame or with a large needle and just doing slightly larger stitches! I wouldn’t call this big stitch but doable stitch lolol yes!

@ciqineq 8 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this. I never hand quilted before but I was struggling with a lap quilt backing that I just could not get taut enough to machine quilt without puckering. When I saw the little cross stitch option in this video I knew that it would work well with my quilt pattern and design - and hand quilting is more forgiving so I don't have to worry about the puckering issue. It's going well. Thank you Jen!

How wonderful was her quilt . Thank you for sharing I think I’m to apply the tag gun technique and the cross stitch I’m excited I almost finish a top quilt so seen this video at the perfect time for me .

Fantastic! I love how this looks, I can't find the right words to describe it, earthy, homespun, heirloom, bottom line it made me instantly feel like there was a spirit connected to the quilt vs a quilt totally done by machine. Which shocked me because I have always preferred the machine quilted look more. Thanks for showcasing this method and having this wonderful quilter on your show. I can't wait to give this a try.

@Quilter1977 5 жыл бұрын

Lovely video! I've recently taken up the technique with cross stitching, only I use fly stitches instead, so you get a little V. I plan to try cross stitches too. It's nice to see 12 wt demonstrated. I've been using perle #8, but wondering about the 12 wt as well.

Do you always start in the center of the quilt or does it matter where you start??? I am trying to teach myself how to do this. I have my quilt frame BUT still not quite sure on attaching my fabric's and batting, I know that backing fabric, batting and then the top. I have watched several tutorials but I have seen anything on how to center all the fabric.

Love the little crosses. I have large quilt to hand quilt so I am going to use that method. Can you please tell me how thick the thread is that Jan used please? I quite like 'Jeans thread' for quilting by hand as it is quite thick so it shows up well. Is this thread similar? Thank you.

Thanks for this great video. I had a question. Jen doesn't mention Spray Basting. Is that method not recommended for hand quilting?

@FatQuarterShopTX 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Barbara! I asked Jen for you and this is what she said, "I don't personally use spray baste for quilting but if you prefer this method of basting by all means go right ahead. Just spray lightly so as not to "clog" your needle." Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
