Күн бұрын

Would you believe it if I told you that you could make an elegant looking swirl chain design from one basic shape? You will……after you watch this tutorial!
Join me, Angela Walters, as I show you how to quilt the elongated swirl meander, a great design to add movement and texture to your quilt. Then I’ll show you how to take the basic swirl shape and turn it into an incredible looking swirl chain design.
Learn how echoing might just be the answer to all of your quilting problems and, most importantly, how to highlight or hide your swirl chain using the filler around it.
Need a little more help with the design? Click here to get the PDF resource sheet with tips, quilting diagrams and quilty eye candy: quiltingismytherapy.com/produ...

I still love watching you quilt on that old Gammill. I still use mine bc I am poor as hell but these old videos are a treasure still! :)

I've been longarm quilting for customers for almost 9 years, and I still learn little tips from your videos! I have all of your books and have taken your Craftsy classes. When a new longarmer asks me for advice...I send them directly to you!!! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the inspiration!

You make this look so easy! Then I spend hours with a huge chalkboard and chalk trying to copy it before I head to fabric. Believe it or not, it actually helps. Then I have to take the chalkboard outside to clean off all the chalk! 🤣. Thank you so much for these tutorials. I never dreamed I would even get this far.

I love watching you quilt! Quilting is my favorite part of the process. I do use a water soluble marker to create guidelines to get me started. It makes it easier for my eye to judge balance of the shapes I’m making.
