Is this Heaven or what?! I have been passionate about Esther’s quilting techniques for years, even with the limited videos available back then! What a joy and thrill to have all of these videos at hand! I absolutely love hand quilting and hand piecing too, Esther’s quilting technique is the way to my heart’s delight!! A BIG THANK YOU!!

What a dear lady. Quilting sure does “connect more than three layers of fabric “.

Omg protect this woman at all costs! I want to see up a block just to practice hand quilting now!

Amazing! REAL knowledge like this is rare on KZfaq. Thank you.

One of the memories I have of my grandmother quilting was the pliers in her basket.

You’re right about the stitches not being worn out, but the fabric. That’s what happened with the quilt my grandmother made me. She had the tiniest stitches!

Thank you for this playlist. Just what I've been looking for: learning proper techniques of hand quilting so I don't have to unlearn poor practices later as well as recommendations for helpful tools.

Can none Amish people come and take a class with these ladies?

You are an absolute delight. Oh how wonderful it would be to spend an afternoon with you and mentor under you. Thank you for these video's and sharing your talents. What a gift and a blessing.

Love your small stitches of your quilts it really helped me with the tools you used for quilts. 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us!

Thank you so much for your help. I am just a beginner and I appreciate your teaching

Thank you so much for this. I was recently involved in helping to catalog old quilts and I was dumbfounded at the level of stitching in some of those quilts. They were beautiful and the best for me was what was stitched on the front (the pattern) also showed up on the back. I have no words to describe the beauty and when you think of what conditions people were quilting back 100 or more years ago. All I can say is astounding.

I'm glad to know there's a thimble that does this. I grew my left index finger and thumb nail an extra cm long and use two or three layers of top coat nail polish to do this.

Such helpful information! Thank you so much!!

I am enjoying learning your way of hand quilting and, I look forward to being able to put in my stitches in without injury to my fingers, hand and wrist. I learned in one afternoon how to do the rocker method years ago but am always pricking my finger that is underneath the quilt. You are a lovely lady and have such a peaceful way about you. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing this information gave me a great idea. For the quilts.

You are so passionate on quilting

Thank you. I have been using these thimbles for years and 11 Betweens needle and would not be able to quilt without them.

You are awesome. I can lap quilt with tiny stitches but I didn’t know the proper way to hold a needle to angle different designs-which is why i couldn’t use a frame. I also couldn’t get the same size stitch on the front as the back and I have never found a thimble that works for me. I am thoroughly enjoying this series.

Your voice is very soothing.

I have just discovered your videos and am fascinated. You share such wonderful information. I have several quilt tops from the 1930’s that I plan on finishing. There is something magical about finishing something someone began and worked tirelessly on so many years ago. I am excited to watch more of your videos and learn from you. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I am trying to learn hand quilting!!

I loved it . Thank you so much

Thank you, grateful 💗!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Lovely. Thank you for sharing. I’ve done one quilt hand quilted but I wasn’t happy with it. Now that I’m learning from your lessons, I’ll do better and maybe go back to redo the first quilt.

I have larger fingers, and my hands swell so I bought a leather thimble, and it works well.

You are the best...

To pull the needle after having quilted, I use a finger cot on my thumb, it doesn’t let the needle slip

Lovely! Thank you!

I've had a hard time with metal thimbles fitting and being comfortable. A little over a year ago I tried out a leather thimble, and it is the best. Not as protective as metal, but better than the bandaid or duck tape I used before.

Have you thought of making and selling that thimble that you modified? I be would definitely be your first customer. I'd take about 4 of them (to put in every room in the house). Thank you for your tutorials. They are wonderful.

Awesome video. Thank you.

I just can’t do it that way. So I like the old poke and stab method, it works best for me. But my average is 11 to 14 stitches to the inch. I like John James needles the best. I like size 10 for quilting and size 11 for hand piecing. I also have a Hinterberg Fold Away Quilt Frame.

❤❤❤

I am very anxious to learn how to hand quilt in the method you are teaching. I have recrived an email but it is in German but I need it in English in order to understand.

Do you loosen the tension overnight or only if not quilting first a few days?

There seems to be a problem with the link to the shop. I get up a notice that it can be breached and won’t patch me through. Would love to try her special ceramic thimble.

I must order a needle slide for hand quilting! Should I email your company?

I tried to order your needle slider and I couldn’t fiqure out how to measure my finger I use a sm thimble and a 3 1/2 Roxanne thimble.

What is the navy blue & metal thing on your right hand (I’m not referring to your thimble worn on your middle finger)?

Where can I find the needle glider? I've looked on line and can't find one. Also, thank you for such a great video!

Hi. Thank you for your classes. I have one question. I have needle number 11 but is not strong, it's bend pretty fast. I have different brands and I have the same problem, what is your suggestion?

Where can we find the porcelain thimble for purchase? I can't seam to find them any where. Is it called something special? Thank you for the amazing videos.

Where would one be able to find the porcelain thimble tool you use for your underhand? I've been using a spoon, but I would love a better, more ergonomic tool!

Where can we buy the thimble and other things she is using?

It’s would be nice for a Christian retreat for woman 🥰
