Walking Foot Quilting - Curved Designs with On Williams Street

Күн бұрын

When we think about walking foot quilting, we often assume it will be straight lines. This doesn't have to be the case though! There are some simple curved quilting designs that can easily be completed with a walking foot. You can maintain the precision and ease you like, while mixing up the possibilities for your finished quilt.
In this weeks video, we share a couple simple walking foot quilting designs featuring curves. We also show you how to easily quilt them on a domestic machine by creating rows and continuous paths to follow throughout the design.
For diagrams of the quilting designs and full instructions, head to our blog post:

This is very helpful. As a new quilter with no extra $$$ for sending my quilt to a longarm-er I like that I can do these designs. What I am not sure about is how to join the blocks once they are quilted. Do you use sashing for them and how do you apply when back and front are sewn together? do you already have a video on this?

Agreed. Quilting on something small, such as samples or table toppers, much different than a big quilt. I’ve done both. My machine is small! I’m surprised at what I have been able to do with it, but it would be helpful to this done on a big quilt on a regular domestic machine.

@zipppyzipppy4795 2 жыл бұрын

if that was a bigger quilt, i see after your first line you did turn entire quilt around with bulk inside the throat. how you avoid that for larger quilt?

@OnWilliamsStreet 2 жыл бұрын

With walking foot quilting, unfortunately some designs are just going to require that you turn the quilt. I would roll up the sides and just unroll extra as I go to deal with the bulk.

@mkpaints 2 жыл бұрын

If you are using fabric/thread combos that don't really emphasize the thread, why wouldn't you backstitch a couple of stitches and then cut with your your threadcutter? (I'm using the same machine; new to machine quilting)

@OnWilliamsStreet 2 жыл бұрын

This is always an option and sometimes blends in, but even with matching thread it can stand out. I've done both and prefer to tie and bury. If it's a busier fabric or something that can hide the backstitch easily, it's definitely an option.

I like being able to use the walking foot, but the lines look hard to see because the foot is so long. Is there a different walking foot that is more like an open toe foot? You did a great job, but did it take a lot of practice?

@OnWilliamsStreet 2 жыл бұрын

When quilting with a walking foot it's just a matter of learning the right speed and how to keep your fabric from dragging and making it too hard for your machine to feed. Just watch that you keep it up on your lap or shoulder so that it moves smoothly through the machine. As far as for the feet, it's all going to depend on your sewing machine. I'd call a dealer for your machine and ask what options you have.

@donnahughes1939 6 ай бұрын
