Thank you! I think they look so good together! 😍 Thread haul video coming soon!

Great question! I actually did not use a hoop. This was my first time hand quilting so it never even crossed my mind. Haha! It might have come in handy though because sometimes it was a chore flipping the fabric back and forth. Perhaps I'll try a hoop the next time around! Thank you and thanks for watching! It's a rather fast make so you could knock it out in a day for sure.

Hehehehe! Thank you so much!

They say great minds think alike. 😉 Hahaha. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 😄 In this video is Dazy, pronounced like Daisy. But we also have her sister Callie, she just wasn't in this video. 🙂

You totally should! It's an easy make and depending on how large you make it, you should be able to knock it out in one day! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching! That's a tough question! I think it really comes down to your level of expertise in that the more experience you have, the more you can charge. My thought is more experience means a higher quality product (although that's not always 100%). Something else to think about is you'll be working with someone's memories (the shirts) that are almost guaranteed to be irreplaceable in the event of a mistake. While stitches can always be removed, cuts can never be undone. But if you don't do this for a living, and the person is a friend or a relative and you're not trying to make a profit per say, I would just charge for materials and a tiny bit of my time. So maybe like $150. That being said, I do this for a living so my cheapest quilt STARTS at $325 for a 44" x 44". You can see my prices here: www.segoviaquilts.com/pricing.html#/ I hope this helps a bit!

@@SegoviaQuilts Thanks so much for the reply. I sew alot and make the Memory Bears and Pillows.

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!

Great question! Yes, the fabric gets added in the center prior to sewing down the curved edges. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!

Thank you sew much! And thanks for watching! It really is a simple runner to put together. And the perfect project to try some hand sewing with, if you're feeling adventurous!

Thank you very much!

Great question! Yes, I add my binding to the back first, then pull around to the front. When sewing the binding down on the front, I match my top thread to the binding and my bobbin thread matches the backing fabric. When I'm sewing, I only go about 1/8" into the binding fabric on the front and my bobbin thread is ALWAYS on the backing fabric, it's NEVER on the binding on the back. I know some people try to get the bobbin stitches to be in the binding ditch on the back, but not me. I could NEVER get it right. So I just stopped trying and did what worked for me, which is to have my bobbin stitches on the backing fabric, not the binding fabric. I can do a video showing what works for me if you'd like. Just let me know! :D

@@SegoviaQuilts I would Loooovveeeee a video on this but please only do it if you have time and when you are bored. I am in no rush. I never even thought to use two different colored threads 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's a fabulous quilt pattern! And it goes together so quickly you could knock out the top in one day in just a few hours. Buy it and get sewing! Hehehe!

Thank you! 😊 And thanks for watching!

You are so very welcome! I know it can be a bit daunting to try to quilt a larger quilt on a smaller domestic machine. But it can be done! Thank you for watching!! And good luck on your quilting project. I'm sure it'll come out amazing!

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Great question! I looked at the manual for your machine and it looks like you're able to do it with out a foot entirely! This is honestly very surprising to me but if you look at page 35 of your manual, it talks about monogramming and embroidery. For embroidery, it says to install the Darning Plate and then remove the presser foot and the presser foot assembly. Then you just get to sewing. Of course for the embroidery, they are using a hoop and wouldn't need that for quilting. You can try doing some test quilting this way and see how it works out. You can also try this three pack of feet I found on Amazon: amzn.to/4cXyhcj These are low shank feet, which is what your machine is. I'm not 100% sure these will fit your machine as these are universal low shank feet. Worst case, they don't fit and you can send them back. If these feet do fit, you'll still need to put the Darning Plate on as there doesn't seem to be an option to lower your feed dogs. Let me know if all this makes sense of if you have any questions!

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

I've seen this recommended before and haven't been able to find filters on my phone. Until yesterday! I found the black and white filter and tried it with a new quilt, and it's great! Wish I had found it sooner!

It really is! Thanks for watching!

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you're asking if after finishing sewing a seam, if you can just go back a few stitches and that's the end, instead of finishing a seam, going back a few stitches and then finishing the seam again essentially? If so, then yes! You can finish a seam and go back a few stitches and then be done. There is no need or requirement to finish, backstitch, and finish again. Great question! 😀

You totally should! Try everything at least once is what I say. So for this project, I just used what I already had on hand which was a package of 6 colors or Pearl (Perle) Cotton thread. I don't even remember when or where I got this package from! The package didn't list a thread weight but from Googling, pearl cotton comes in four weights, #3, #5, #8 & #12. The most common size is #8. So while I'm not 100%, I'm thinking it's an #8.

That's great! I'm so glad you like it! I'll be doing more this way for sure. I feel like it's easier and everyone can see the good, what I'm working on, and the bad, the mess from said work! Hahaha! Thank you for watching!

I'm glad you found this helpful! Yes, exactly the same thing can be done if you run out of space at the top or highest point. So long as you have space in the machine throat, you can use this technique to adjust your panto in either direction. 😃

That's a great question! And you can totally do that! You can cut your interfacing square and put it on the shirt either before you cut out the block or afterward. I don't do it that way because trying to line up the interfacing square with the square I'm going to cut seems like a chore and also applying it all over saves me time because it's faster and I use left overs from the shirt to fill in empty spots in my layout. You can totally do it! Do a tester quilt first. Get shirts from Goodwill or yard sales and make a whole quilt from start to finish. By the time you finish, you will have the kinks worked out, and you'll be more confident. And if you do mess something up, the shirts were tester shirts, not precious memories. A win-win!

Great question! So I ordered 1/2 yard of each of the eight fabrics. This left me with about 5" x WOF left over from each of the eight fabrics. You can get 6 of the 6.5"x6.5" blocks from one fat quarter. So, if you ordered the fat quarter bundle of this collection, you would be able to get 108 of the 6.5"x6.5" blocks and you would have 18 strips measuring about 5"x22" left over (one for each fat quarter). If you wanted to try to use up more of the fabric and have less left over, you could shrink the blocks down to make them 5.5"x5.5" (your white strips would then need to shrink down to 2.5"x5.5"). Then you could get 12 5.5"x5.5" blocks from each fat quarter and you would only have a strip of about 1.5"x22" from each fat quarter.

@@SegoviaQuiltsthank you so much!!! Love this quilt!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thank you for watching! It's a super simple pattern. You could knock one out in a day! 😁

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching! 😄

Thank you so much! And thank you for watching!

Thank you very much! And thank you for watching! Oh, that's wonderful! I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job! 😊

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching! It's a neat design in that it can look complicated, because of the staggered rows, but it's super easy to put together! And it really comes together quickly. Have fun making it! If I can answer any questions, or if you every need a longarmer, I'll be here! 😄

Thank you for watching! I'm so sorry about the curve. I use a wide angle lens to film from above and yes, it gives it that fish eye look. :( I'm looking for new lens that will film wide but without the curve. Fingers crossed I find something!

You're so right! It was a small enough project that if the hand stitching wasn't my thing, no problem because there wasn't much to quilt! Hehe! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thanks for watching! It really is super easy to make and if you have 2 or 3 hours, you can knock out the top in no time! And that includes the time to cut the fabric strips. Using the strip piecing makes it go so fast!

I can see how that would be much easier than worrying about stitch size! I might have to try that my next time hand stitching.

It really is! My client made two of these, one for each of her daughters. She quilting pattern she picked was so cute! It's called Cupid from Urban Elementz.

What!? That's not right. I'm not sure who you spoke with but try calling back and ask to speak with Glen Nelson. He is who I worked with from Support. I gave him my machine serial number and he told me which two boards I needed to replace. One was the Main Controller Board and the other was the Motor Drive Board Assembly. He also emailed me a PDF with directions on how to replace the boards. If they still tell you no, send me an email to SegoviaQuilts@gmail.com and let me know. If I don't hear from you, I'll assume everything was taken care of. :)

Oh my gosh Peggy, that's so awesome!! I'm so glad I was able to help you make these wonderful gifts for your family! :D And making the booklet for how their quilt was made is such a great idea! I might have to add that for my client quilts! I'm sure they will love and treasure their quilts forever! I'm sure you're a pro at them now. Usually by the end of the first quilt everyone has a good rhythm and flow going. If I can help with any future projects, or if you ever need a longarmer, I'll be here! ;)

Oh wow! I'll have to go check that out! Always nice to be able to save some time. Thank you and thanks for watching!

Well I'm glad you found my video! Better late than never. Thank you for watching!

You are so welcome! And thank you for watching! I love this machine and while don't use it anymore (due to getting another machine with its' own table) I still have this one ready to go if I ever need a backup!
