Reflecting on Our 2023 Quilts & Planning for 2024
Great tips! Thank you!
Can you clarify the centering of the quilt top with one side larger than the other? I’m not understanding what you mean by that?
Great video thanks so much. You do such wonderful helpful videos.
How do you get a backing straight when it is 108 inches square? When I bought my frame the leaders weren't centered on the poles so how does a person get the leaders centered on the pole? A lot of the tips don't take into account that a person may not have a large space to do things. Hints for small spaces are a good thing! Excellent info here thanks!!!
Maybe discuss thread size & needle size for your demos.
Rather than a pin, I mark my leader with water soluble marker. One less pin to poke me. Also I use safety pin to mark centres. They don't fall out
Thank you. Lots of help.
Great video, thanks❤
I use red snappers, and I love how fast I can get a quilt loaded straight and true. I do make a lot of effort to keep my blocks square and the top square as I assemble the top. I use 2 quilter's laser levels on my quilt wall, one vertical one horizontal to stay true during the quilt top assembly process, it's works well for me.
Great tutorial!
Many great tips. Thank you!
Safe
This was very helpful! Thank you!!
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
tell me about the table frame that is older that these. do the new roller handle kits fit?
Great job, ladies! As always 😀
Thank you for making this video. You guys are so easy to follow.
Thank you so much. I don’t have the Handi-Quilter long arm but I do have the Tiara III sit down long arm machine, I am just learning how to use it and found these videos so helpful when there is a problem. I was stitching just fine the other day, the tension was perfect when all of a sudden it started stitching very tightly, pulling and bunching the fabric as I stitched. Then I noticed the thread had come off the antenna that sits at the top of the machine where I first place the thread from the spool to thread it . Fixed it problem didn’t correct itself. After a very long time spent threading and rethreading, tension adjustments, checking the bobbin for lint, etc, I gave up. Today I pulled up this video I have watched before--I placed the bobbin in the case wrong! I even had gone as far as getting a new bobbin case, which arrived today, so I laughed at myself when this video talks about getting a new bobbin case! I didn’t need one, but, yes, now I have an extra one which is just fine with me! And I didn’t know what that piece in the bobbin case was called until today! I thought I bent it from when the fabric was pulling so much, as it was raised up some in the case. It seems to be ok though, so i guess I don’t need to worry about it. Thank you for sharing all this good information for the Handi-Quilter as it is helping learn about my machine as well!
Yes, I was really looking forward to seeing the finished blocks to see how they turned out, side by side, so I cd decide if I liked either well enough to try it on one of my quilts. I feel like we got cheated out of seeing the finished product. And I agree that we quilters like to watch the quilting because we learn from that. We don’t care if the video goes longer; this is what we came to see. Yes, watching you guys draw it out ahead of time is helpful. But the quilting process is the most important. Please don’t rush through that part, and don’t cut out parts of the quilting. We need to see how you get around the block. Thank you. 🌷
Thank you for your valuable input. We will discuss that with the filming team so that we can improve in the future!
Awesome inspirational video. I’ll be re-watching this one and hopefully get to my two bins of stuff from grandmas, aunts, great aunts mother and mother-in-law!❤
Don't forget to look between the backing and batting each time you advance, especially if you are using a light colored backing ... it is a pain to end up with a bright or dark thread trapped between.
So true!!!
I think it would be cool to use the red thread on the green side and the green thread on the red side.
That could be interesting!!!
Great ideas. With the straight lines on the first block, to reduce the amount of thread on each line, stitch the line to the first point, stitch in the ditch along to the next point then stitch down. You are then only stitching on eachline once.
Excellent suggestion.
Can't wait to see rest of the blocks in this series. Very helpful for learning design
Please show us the finished blocks.
The finished blocks can be seen in the American Patchwork & Quilting magazine that just came out!!
@@HandiQuilter seriously? I invested 25 minutes of my time watching this video and now I have to buy the magazine to see the ending?
Please give more consideration to the viewers.That rapid jerking of the camera played havoc with my brain . As a QUILTING channel we actually want to see the quilting. Kim and Kristina are a good duo that work so well together so let us see them quilting and the FINISHED results not a view of the back bar. A great idea but the camera angles need more work to give their efforts the emphasis they deserve.
Thank you for your feedback. We are always striving to provide better quality videos so we will definitely work on this. Thank you.
Love love love techniques and ideas of both of the blocks and awesome thread to match the quilt blocks❣️🧵🧵🪡❤️💓💕💖
When Angela Walters was doing jer Midnight Quilt Show she called these two the "turn in early" for the simple version -or- the "up all night" for the complicated version
✌️🙃🫶
Thanks, that was very helpful to us that spend more time away from our machines than we would like.
Love the demo of both machines!
How do you know the circles will end with whole full circles? When I try circles by the time I get to the end there’s only room to make a half circle and it looks terrible.
That is the tricky part. If you want to make sure the circles will fit, you will need to do some marking to make sure the spacing is accurate.
I love the holes, I can hang on my peg board!
Love the one that makes a chicken wire look.
Fabulous!
When you use Microquilter in the top for SID do you use the same thread in the bobbin?
The bobbin thread does not need to be the same weight or type of thread. It best to have a matching color though! For this video, a 60W thread was in the bobbin.
With a larger quilt, do you "float" your quilt or roll it on the belly bar?
We recommend rolling on the bar but there are many quilters that prefer to "float". Whatever works best for you!
I always seem to have trouble with the sides of my quilt staying straight. After a row or two of the pantograph, the ending side has either gotten wider or narrower, usually narrower. So I am stitching into the batting and backing even though I am following my ruler mark of the edge of quilt side. Can you offer any tips to deal with that? I start with a square backing and have rolled the back and top on squarely.
I would suggest getting a longarm centering tape that you can attach (I used double sided tape) to your idle pole. It will help you make sure that the quilt top is actually in the position you need it to be in. You can also double check that your laser isn't moving by lining it up with a previously stitched position and then checking that the laser is still matching the pantograph at the back of the machine.
@@HandiQuilter Thank you so much for your response. I have the centering tape. But double sided tape is a better idea than the painters tape I have been using 😜. I just finished a whole cloth quilt using rulers. I still have the same problem. The top rolled on evenly. But as I progressed, it became narrower, until I got to the bottom where it was still the original width. I don’t understand how it can go from being stacked evenly at the edges to shrinking in almost an inch on both sides in the middle of the quilt.
Thank you, thank you! I wish I would’ve known this earlier! It’s very scary when you lose your place for one reason or or another. I have to save this video!!
Glad it was helpful!
Piano keys add alot to a border. The diagonal looks INTERESTING!
Can it be used for grid work around designs? Is there a bigger version?
I am wondering if this comment was meant for this video? It seems more in line with the Line Grid ruler that you were watching. If it is the Line Grid, the 1/2" is the largest size currently. I am sure you could use it around designs depending on what exactly you are planning!
@@HandiQuilter Thank you. Sorry I did not realize I posted to the wrong video. Yes my question was for the Line Grid. Thank you for responding. 🙂
Hi, Carol from Missouri
Love the technique and the ideas and helping us get back to where we were
I would love to see how your quilt turned out, you never showed the end result😢
You are correct!! If you would like to see a picture of the finished quilt, email hqevents.com and we can send it to you!
You showed some great techniques and shared many helpful tips. Thanks so much! I have problems trying to hear when my bobbin runs out and usually have gone another 6-10 inches past. I start checking my bobbin before I start a new row, depending on the size of the quilt, after 3-4 passes to see if I need to change bobbins so I don't run out during a pass.
Wow,just thinking, why didn’t I think of this. Pro-stitcher is so much fun to use and the possibilities are endless. I am so glad to have this program on my long arm. Thanks again ladies for such a great video. My quilting friends who use other programs are always marveling at the beautiful work the program does on my quilts with such ease. I have even been asked to quilt some of their special quilts on my machine because their programs cannot do some of the things mine does.
This was very helpful...
Enjoying your videos. Learning a lot!
needle hit the ruler and shut down. I changed the needle but it now hits the bobbin case and shuts down. What can I do?
THANK YOU! Finally explainations to things I just couldn't find answers to. Great job.
