So happy to see someone else quilting in the hoop with Nested Blocks, as opposed to End to End Designs. I just don’t like the 2 ugly ties on top of each other, that we see with End to End QITH. I am hoping that most embroiderers will eventually see how easy this technique is. My technique is slightly different than yours, but it's also very similar. I also use a Ghost Template that I created in Embird Embroidery Software, and then printed on Template material using my Cricut Maker. Here is Part 9 of my Quilt in the Hoop series. It's on a Janome Mb4, but the hooping concept is the same for all machines. At 22 minutes is where I hoop the Quilt: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcl7q8h20822qoU.html

Why are you starting at the bottom corner? Many videos starts the stitching in the top corner or centre.

can u put heat n bond lite on back of fabric for appliques

would have been nice to see you sew the pieces together.

Your link is broken

Thank you so much! I was at a loss as to making the template. Genius, as I have been flying by the seat of my pants. Lol

Where can I purchase this meander design? It's hard to find rectangle quilt designs!

How did you make the template? You just said "stitch out a template". Did the machine memorize the free-form stitching you did so it can repeat it over and over??

This is a really good tutorial. I did have a couple of things, though. You totaly could have used your J foot and done the overcast and seam at the same time to save sewing around the 2nd time, or what about the flat feld hem to keep everything enclosed and laying flat. I really did enjoy your video. You explained everything very well.

I've been sewing/quilting for decades, and I've watched a LOT of tutorials, and this one is very good. Love that you quilted the fabric first. Your voice is calming and you didn't overkill us with unnecessary jibber-jabber, you just got down to business. Well Done!! I got your pattern, (super easy) and I'm getting busy today! Thank you, and Happy New Year!

Do you starch fabrics before cutting? I wasn’t sure if it would be helpful or detrimental since we are sewing curves

Salve grazie per il video mi puoi dire se il filo della bobbina (il filo di sotto) è uguale al filo di sopra,oppure,hai usato un filo sottospola come quello che si usa quando si ricama? Grazie

Ugh! Hooping ANYTHING with even a little thickness can be SO difficult. I prefer magnetic hoops, and use them whenever I can.

Hello, i adore the Star quilt in your Wall. What is the Name of the pattern? Greetings from germany

Can you do this with 5x7 hoops?

Where did you purchase the large eyed needle you are using to hide your thread ends?

Thanks so much. I will be making this soon. Have you thought about a spinning mat? It's challenging to cut upside down! Maybe some grips on the back of the template so they don't move while you cut? Likely all things you know. :)

Great Job, Ashlee! I got my templates and digging for fabrics!

Thank you. I have been afraid to try this but you made it make sense.

This is exactly what I wanted! Thank you

Thank you so much! I hate trying to line up the start and end stitch on edge to edge. This makes so much more sense!

Thanks

Thanks

I would like to know where you bought your clear sewing table that fit your Sapphire 85. I would like to purchase one. Thank you.

Thank you for doing this, I've had my HV Sapphire 85 since December 2021. I have not found many videos showing how to use this machine. I like it for sewing, but the embroidery part escapes me. I would love to see more tips and uses for the Sapphire 85. Thank you again.

I am a quilter, not a garment sewer so I do have a couple of questions... one is, can I draw the line longer than 30" to make this a bit longer, like say 32"? And, if I add two more inches to that measurement, I assume I just add two more inches to my line for the front piece, so instead of 27" as stated in the tutorial, it would be 29", correct? And last, can you tell me what batting you used?

Great tutorial! Thank you so much. It is difficult to find a quilted sleep sack tutorial so I was grateful to find this.
