    Thanks for such a well thought out video for us newbies at quilting. This has given me a positive attitude to 'go for it' and stop putting myself down for having a basic machine or not the right skills to achieve my goals of making a quilt for each of my five children. You are appreciated, Patsy!

    Fabulous tips! I found you first through your free downloads of free motion stitches and I am delighted to follow it up with your tutorials. I have been free motion quilting for a few years now and feel like I'm getting better the more I practice. Thank you so much for all the great information and for your fun sense of humor too!

    I have free motion quilting for over 25 years and taught it in my fabric shop. wish I had had your videos to show my students.

    i have made quilt tops for over 20 years and only did stitch in the ditch for the tops I have finished, practicing with free motion & will be finishing 4 placemats this afternoon, I'm really thankful for being able to rewatch your beginner toots. The last 4 placemats I did some echo stitching around my embroidery motifs, that was a lot of fun and my Mother was thrilled to see that I crossed over my comfort level to work a new technique. I am 63 and ready to go to a new level. She will love these

    Okay, so you answered more questions than I had on FMQ...I have been looking for a sewing table...thanks for the file cabinets and door idea! I have been trying to find a way to trace patterns...and then you throw in the light under the table...so simple yet...you nailed it. THANK YOU! YOU ROCK!

    Patsy I have just watched your beginners free form quilting 1 to 4. I have not done any of this so far and would just like to say how wonderful you explained everything you didn't rush but took things nice and steady for me to understand. I will now source supplies as suggested and cannot wait to get going, thank you so much. Maureen Palmer, Coventry England.

    My Mom and Grama were both very talented crafters, knitters, crocheters, cross-stitchers, and my Mom was a seamstress for 50 years. I've dreamed of being a talented seamstress like my Mom, and I've always wanted to be a quilter. My sewing machine died yesterday and I'm going to buy a new machine. Watching your 4-part tutorial was inspirational and helped me in so many ways. I know, now, what I want in a new sewing machine, and I know once I get it that it's ok to take my time, to learn, to practice, and your gentle, encouraging manner is so helpful. I learned a lot from your tutorials. Thank you!

    Patsy...You rock! I've been afraid to try free motion and drop feed dogs, etc. I am now going to give it a try. I'm excited...and yes..a bit leary, but with the test blocks, I'm going to make it work. Practice...practice and I'll practice till I get it right. thank you so much for the great beginning videos. I watch them over and over. Keep them coming.

    I've just made my first quilt, and it's quite large. I practiced Free style quilting on a few fabric leftovers. They looked pretty bad. After watching you I can see that I really need to practice on small squares before tackling the large quilt. Thank you for all of the creative ideas, and your patience.

    thank you so much for your tutorials. I have been searching for some for a tutorial that would be more than 2 minutes long not one is as concise as you are-thankfully I came across yours. You're so informative and detailed, thank you again for the info on quilting, I am just beginning to quilt as I have been a sewer of garments for years now and I just am hooked on quilting(never thought I would be lol) Now I know it can be done &I don't have to spend the earth on a quilting machine :-)

  • @auntbeeje1231
    @auntbeeje1231 10 лет назад

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I am a new quilter and have been reading/viewing everything I can find for FMQ techniques. So far most everything has been all about materials, setup, posture and designs, leaving me trying to figure out on my own how to actually move the fabric and my hands. Your 4-part tutorial has provided me with so much helpful info in just about 30 minutes. I love the analogy of learning to write using a paper/pen, so along with simple shapes I thought I'd try quilting some letters to help me understand how to properly move the fabric under the needle. Can't wait to try some more - thanks again!

  • @jewelbates
    @jewelbates 12 лет назад

    Patsy,
    First I must say thank you for putting these videos together.I have been quilting for years. However I am a hand quilter because I could never figure out how to free motion properly mainly because of the basting problems I faced. I will be buying 505 basting spray asap. Also the idea for the light under the acrylic table is fabulous idea!

    Now I am going to practice before I start my granddaughter's twin size quilt. I am retired and also have a PFAFF an Expressions 4.0 which was recommended by a fabric store owner. I have a cataract taking over one eye I can't get fixed until next month so I am going to use this time to practice. Good thing I have a lot of patience. Kaylee's quilt is lying on the table pinned together and will be soon taken apart. I do have a quilt basting spray. I chose your tutorial to find out how and where to begin my project and learned so much more. Thank you, thank you.

    I really love your video's Nicole. I had my husband make me a table that my sewing machine fits into. Like your extra table however mine is covers the whole table top. I then covered the wood with the suppository metal I could find. It works great. I also liked the way you used the ironing board to hold the metal. These are great video's thank you so much . I'll keep watching .

    Thank you for this info. I just did a twin size quilt on my home machine and it was horribly difficult. I did roll it because I thought that would be helpful but it wasn't. And I probably need a larger bed. My machine came with one but it's not nearly as big as the one you suggested.

    Thanks, Helen. I have to laugh when you ask what my favorite thread is because you would probably freak out if you saw my thread stash! I love many, many different types of thread and use a wide variety of threads. The main needles I use are Microtex Sharps, topstitch, and embroidery needles. If I could only have 1 type for the rest of my life, it would probably be a topstitch needle.
