Great video! My favorite parts are EVERYTHING up to creating the quilt sandwich which I really hate. I don't even mind the quilting as much - it's just wrestling with the batting and the backing and the basting! I don't even mind the binding. I'm like you - I love cutting, piecing, squaring, and creating the quilt top. I have a LOT of tops folded up, waiting for the quilting process. If a quilt is one I really love, or is special in some way, I'll send it out to the long-armer, but to keep this hobby (which can become expensive) a little more managable financially, I do most of my quilting myself on my domestic machine.
@sewbeitquilts 5 ай бұрын
Yes the quilt sandwich is such a difficult part of the process! I agree with you about choosing which quilts to send out for special quilting! I do the same! I send ones I really love or that is just very special for some reason, perhaps an important gift!

Hi. Instead of gaging where to turn on expanding square use a cross drawn lines to the corners and the filling in 1/4 at a time use a middle drawn line each direction. These lines are where to stop needle to change direction. Lovely designs.

This process is portrayed well. Its not just awkward but tiring on the arms. However, thats how it goes! Ive moved fom making large uilts ti making mini quiltetttes. These are more challenging as far as the piecing goes, which is goid at raising ones game. Quilting is then another challenge in other ways! 😅 But this us why I do it..to meet challenges while creating beautiful things. As do all patchworkers and quilters! Great videoexpressing a lot of what lies behind the quilts we make add give away. Or sell, in some cases. Even leaving our quilts to those working the large longarms requires their very different skills that need to be acknowledged. Thank you for this video.

@sewbeitquilts Chatterbox Quilts on youtube. "Make Quilt Basting Spray" is the name of the video. I have used washable school glue also. When I used the school blue I only quilted a sample and then I washed and dried it to see how well I would like it and it turned out well also. I think the homemade spray base is more economical and it is easy to apply. One recipe was enough for a queen size quilt and a thirty" by forty" wall hanging.

To help with drag, I like to have the side to your left rolled up as I quilt. I find it easier to move and it's easy to unroll as you go. I have used clips like Dritz Quilter's Roll Clips to clip the rolled portion. (Sorry, I couldn't post an image.) Sometimes I will also roll the part that's on my lap/over your shoulder, although not clip it. My favorite part is doing the top; although I also like hand-quilting I don't have the stamina or patience for it anymore.

This video is right up my alley! I could probably send my quilts (I make only a few each year) out to a long armer, but I'm one of those people that feels it's made by me only if I've done every step, piece, quilt, bind. I got the book you mentioned and do find it a great inspiration. I hadn't done the V's but I love the way yours looked. I happen to be making a table topper block that looks a lot like yours. I'm totally going to use that technique on it! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I just hit subscribe too! 👍

My favorite part is probably piecing but if I’m being honest I love all of it. I do sometimes struggle with my OCD when it comes to quilting on my domestic machine. I’ve mostly done straight line quilting and some with decorative stitches but if my lines aren’t perfectly straight I get frustrated. I watched this video a couple times and hearing you say, ‘I’m not going to stress about it.’ and ‘I’m good with that.’ Made me really think about what I was doing. I guess every now and then I need to hear others say the things that I forget to say to myself! Thank you for another awesome video that allowed me to finish a quilt today that I walked away from several days ago!💞😊

My least favourite part of making a quilt is sandwiching and basting, basting is a bit better since I discovered 505 spray. My favourite part is sewing on the binding. I do one side by machine and the other by hand. I quite enjoy hand quilting even though I’m not the best, I find it very relaxing. I always practice for 5-10 minutes on a scrap to get my rhythm going before I start on the actual quilt. When machine quilting I like to use the metal seam guide bar that slots into my walking foot to measure the spaces between quilting rows. It means you only need to mark one or two stitching lines, you can even use it on curves or wavy lines and you can get the space exactly the size you want. Like you I always start at the same side when machine quilting lines. I find it stops puckering and pulling on the back of the quilt, which I get if I go up and down. This year I’d like to try and get the hang of FMQ, my new machine has a stitch regulator so my stitches should be the same length and that was what always put me off. I hate uneven stitches.
@sewbeitquilts 5 ай бұрын
I hand sewed my first binding on recently and it was so relaxing! I may not do that for all of them but I think I will again from time to time. I do have that metal bar too, but mine is held in place by a tiny screw and it never gets tight enough to keep the bar even. Maybe there is a trick to it but mine hasn’t worked for me. I can see how it would be really helpful if I could keep it even!
@sallyfrickey6001 5 ай бұрын
My bar was not tight on my machine so my husband cut a piece of plastic straw and used about a quarter of the round of the straw in the space with the bar. Now it stays in place. Hope this helps someone.
@janemuir3546 6 күн бұрын
Basting is my least favorite as well. I use the 505, however haven't found a method that I can get the backing tight enough. I only sew across, never across and down, because the backing will pucker. I have found that I do like straight line or a wavy line or wavy interlocking random lines. If doing straight lines, I use the guide that came with my walking foot.

I really like the wavy line quilting technique and use it especially on bigger quilts. I do have problems with forgetting which direction I was heading in when I need to stop to adjust my quilt.

I have a 16" block that I just finished. I think I will use your "V" technique on that one. Just to practice on. 😉 And I have done the wavy lines only one time. That too was also very nice quilting and very fun to do so.

Isn’t it! My goodness it is so nice to not have to rethread every time!

I completely dread making a quilt sandwich, especially if I've had to piece a backing! Ohhh how I love 108s! I've done a wavy type matchstick on a table runner that came out awesome! I'm hand quilting a lap/twin quilt and a table runner with almost big stitch straight line quilting. Other than that, it's straight on my domestic,but trying to follow peaks and simple straight lines with a variation of widths and / or directions. But when I can afford it, I send them to a local longarm quilter! Thanks for the great video and book informatio!

The quilt sandwich is exhausting! It is also frustrating when I feel like I did a good job getting it nice and flat and even then it bubbles when I quilt it! I have two quilts I started hand quilting. I need to get those finished this year! We both have two of those projects too! How fun!

It is really interesting to me how simply varying the spacing on straight line quilting can add such depth to a quilt.

I love these line quilting ideas. Thank you. I like to use the serpentine stitch on my machine to quilt wavy lines.

I love that! I’m sure it turns out beautiful each time!

I loved watch8ling this! I have been hand quilting, but thumb arthritis is making this harder. I am also using a standard sewing machine and have been so scared to try my bigger queen size tops. I need to just do some table runner, place mat and smaller sizes to try this out and get brave! Thank you!

I tend to like the creation and piecing process as well. I can go through that part of the process pretty fast. I'm more than happy to take it to a quilter. However, 2024 is a different year and I need to cut back on my quilting budget so I'm going to have to learn to quilt some of my larger projects. I don't mind quilting table runners or table squares which I typically use the straight line method varying spacing. I love the clean look it gives them. Being a novice at actually quilting my projects, I would have liked to hear about the set up, i.e. stitch length, type of thread, sandwiching / basting a larger quilt. Fallon, loved these easy quilting designs! It gives me confidence to do my own.

I hear you on the longarmer piece…it could add up! I’m trying to get mine done this year too, but am paralyzed with ideas. This is helpful, even for quilting on my longarm!

It’s so hard to come up with quilting ideas! I envy the quilters who can see the vision and details on each quilt!
@katherinephillips8952 5 ай бұрын
I think in Piecing. I don't think in Quilting. These lines ideas take away the Thinking blocks!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you...I have half a dozen or more quilt tops and others that just need to be pieced together. I NEVER know how to quilt them at the end. I do not want to ruin the quilt by picking the wrong pattern or technique, so I just play and then fold and put away. This gives me so many ideas on simple endings. Now to get busy.

Designing is my favorite part

I have quilted most of my pieces with straight lines using walking foot and the little bar that you push into it's side. The bar rides along your last line and fits on both sides of your foot. I've also used a wavy line on my small Brother (computer) machine. My fav part though is piecing the top!
@sewbeitquilts 5 ай бұрын
I can’t get the bar to work on my machine. I can’t get it tight enough so that it doesn’t move around. Any tips?

Love these ideas. I'm definitely a "linear" person (free motion scares me). Can't wait to try your ruler instead of the tape I usually use.

It’s really hard for me to come up with free motion designs. I am trying to practice but I get paralyzed trying to think of a design for the quilt.

I bought this ruler and I love it. I wanted 1 inch space, so I put blue painters tape on the ruler to mark where I needed to line up.

My go to is stitch in the ditch I’ve used painters tape for cross hatch I’ve also have used chalk roller do my version of candle stick stitch inside shapes free motion on larger quilts is a nightmare with small throat space love your tips. My favorite part of quilting is designing patterns picking out fabric and piecing them together the yucky part is pinning my sandwich together lol😅
@sewbeitquilts 5 ай бұрын
I love using chalk rollers too! Basting is such a pain! I agree!

Fallon, love LOVE your ideas for quilting your own projects. I've just done straight lines or meander stitch on my small things. The throw quilts are just sitting in a large basket... just waiting for me 🙄
