Beautiful!

Very well said! I too took a on line class Free Motion a couple years ago and learned a lot, Practice is the key always!

Susan this video was helpful in stitching in ditch . I was trying to get in too close to ditch and veered to top side.

i also use the shop magnets to float my quilts tops, but have a question regarding the way you place yours as I notice you have yours clamped to the front of the belly bar. Is there a difference, or is it better, to have them clamped to the top of the bar, or to the front of the bar?

I like the pops of darker fabric, and the caramel thread definitely works.

Enjoyed watching the replay while attaching binding to a quilt. My answer to a couple of your questions: yes and yes! Yes, a pre-recorded video of the hexi quilt would be great. Yes, randomly announced L&U videos are just fine. Thanks so much for all you do! 💜

Love the thread color, and the quilting design is beautiful. ❤

What was the name of the batting brand you use? How does it compare to Quilters Dream.

This was so helpful!!! Wish I'd know it yesterday when I was struggling with a Qmatic design that didn't line up. But now I know!

Thank you for this wonderful pattern, I was sitting pedaling, lovin that i can do it while watching the TV, well YT and actually took a photo of the pattern and within a split second you said about the pattern. :) Murphy's Law. I love the sound of Stella while you do your Gorgeous Quilting. I absolutely Love your approach to E2E and your wealth of free knowledge. Thank you Susan and The Producer. Have Fun catering for the Church Camp, my Mum, RIP, used to cater for the church camps too, those were the best of times, God Bless 🙏🥰

Yes, the design is wonderful! Texture is gorgeous, I don't think a custom quilting design would add the same 'feel'. I find the most difficult thing while doing E2E freehand, is the traveling. I wind up getting it to look really nice, but it takes me longer than it should because I get caught in an area, then panic trying to get out and back in the groove. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Love this design. Will use it on my next quilt project.

Love watching you work. I always learn something new and useful. I have the Q24 as well and would love to see more live & unscripted using the computerized function (digitized designs) set up and quilting process.

Good for you. I do try to do my part, but I am not going to use cotton thread. It’s just a pain to work with. I don’t thread is the problem here. BTW, polyester does break down. I just threw a bunch of thread away because it broke when I pulled on it. It was in mom’s thread stash and she’s been gone for 23 years.

Answering your question about Live scheduling, random days/times is fine by me. As I've watched everyone that you've done so far, I now prefer to watch them on youtube so I can fast forward through parts, or watch double speed. Let's me catch all your important comments and tips and still have time to do some quilting! Bonnie R.

Thank you Mr. Producer and Will!!

Thanks again for a great session.

Name/mfr of backing, is perfect for a gift queen quilt I’m working on

Life gets busy with me too, so if I miss I can always go back and view. Do what works for you.

Does bernina’s SW have the ability to ‘record’ a freehand pattern that can be replayed to ‘create’ an edge to edge so you could walk away-ish if u wanted too?

LOL, promise to turn the mic off during break 😂

Love the fabrics and colours of this quilt! The thread colour is perfection!

Yes to wreath custom quilt series

Anna H, my heart and prayers to help you bear your loss. Maybe sewing again can give you time to mindfully reflect kitty goodtimes and it napping while you sewed. Hugs

QQQ can newbies and/or most people do freehand nonstop as long as you can, I’m pretty sure 5 min would kick my butt LOL. In next live (I watch them all) can you do a few minutes of conscious thought out loud … like swirl pedal pedal pedal swirl pedal pedal quick check sizing staying same and any other random thoughts that come to mind. I watch on tv but can’t comment from there … it was Not a mistake having the darker patches … it actually makes the entire quilt blend beautifully! Regarding the metallic comment … me too … yards and yards of white with a bit of thin pop. Caramel thread perfect!

Thank you for that lesson and I love your iron ❣️

Just playing in my sewing room enjoying listening to your podcast. I always seem to come away with some wisdom from you, thanks

Video was very interesting,informative and yes quilt beautiful. Many thanks for sharing 👍❤️🙂

Thank you so much Susan! This video was so helpful to me. Your skills are extraordinary.

We would love to take you to dinner Susan! …and Dave too!

Hello Susan I've watched your channel I love to watch you I'll link your fabulous quilter but I was watching Brenda from Mount scrapmore and she said to give you out a shout so I'm giving you out a shout I love you and I love your coffee whole idea so have a great day bye-bye

I just received mine! The edge on the particular backing I just loaded is a torn edge with some fraying. Had trouble feeding that edge into the slot so came back to find this video. Wondering if the frayed edge will make it impossible. 🤔 these pointers are good so will try again.

I'm so happy to hear you're going to quilt a "pair" differently. I am planning on doing that with a pair I'm currently working on. One will be done with your "Crazy Eights", and the other will be my first done with rulers. Thanks for your Lives!

I love my Laurastar Lift iron too! With small dogs allowed on the furniture steaming the cushions, pillows and mattresses has made a huge difference in how fresh it smells indoors now!

Maybe rub bar soap 0r a thread wax lightly on the ruler. You don't want anything that will stain or leave a residue on the quilt.

Thanks for the video on this. I had made it way more complicated in my mind.😊

💜👋🎉

I always learn so much from your videos. I chain piece my binding this way also!

He he! It as a gift…I didn’t pay $125! 25!

Hi Susan - great video, as always. QQ - I have the 72S foot - but where did you purchase the snap on cup with the slit? I am having trouble finding it. Thanks again!

Enjoyed listening. Way to press on, you two!

I need a link to the cruise

Susan - I'm new to long arm quilting. I've enjoyed watching you quilt! I'm curious, when I load my quilts following your example, after putting on the red snappers on the front and start rolling up the quilt to attach the back red snappers, the backing sticks to the leader cloth and pulls on it. I've tried this many times and don't know how to stop the backing from sticking to the leader. On your example, your backing just slips over the leader. I have "home made" leader cloths made from cotton. I would appreciate any tips you have to keep the leader cloth from moving with the backing when trying to get the backing and leader to square up. Thanks.

I love the red snapper! I made a leader of canvas and I bast the leader to the top of the back. This gives me more wiggle space away from the snapper. I also took the snapper rod and cut enough of it off of one side so I can bring the machine to that side , the machine head is out of the way and I can roll the red snapper under the dead bar and that little spot is not in the way with the machine because it is empty of rod when I am ready for the next section. my other breakage was from oil. I didn't know it was old but every time I used the oil that came with the machine the thread quit breaking, threw the oil that was given to me away! I also started oiling the 2 little wicks just in front of the bar we are suppose to oil. that also made a difference.

Susan could you detail what direction the backing rollers need to be loaded with the fabric? Like right side of backing to either top /bottom side of leader fabric? My machine doesnt have a dead bar.

Thank you for sharing. This was my next quilt to make and you share great ideas. As for Jamie Wallen’s rulers - I absolutely love them.
