Happy Saturday everyone. I'm sure you're like me and have several quilts to finish before the holidays. Here are some fast and easy patterns to just get it done. Grab your coffee and let's get quilting
Thanks to you I found that my old Pfaff -inherited from my Mom- has a built in walking foot. On one of my small practice quilts I found it DID eliminate the fabric creep! Instant improvement. Thanks for all the tips and gentle teaching.
As a perfectionist, I have trouble letting go and just being free with my quilting. I think we all see such intimidatingly perfect quilting in show quilts but they are often done by a computerised machine or by a quilting expert who has several years of practice. It is foolish for us to compare our quilting with those, but it's a natural inclination. I tell myself that the purpose of quilting is to hold the layers together. As long as it stays together, it's good enough. Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
Oh so right. After about 2 yrs of playing quiltmaking, I was at a guild where a mate was showing off her FIRST quilt. It REALLY was perfect. Turned out to be a good thing. I never fret bc I know it's not my forte and also it's highly unlikely I'll live long enough to make it mine. So I make quilts w themes like 50th anniv of Apollo and Woodstock and nobody looks for matched corners !😁
I used to consider myself a perfectionist, but now I believe I’m simply conscientious. I care about how my work looks, and if my name is on it, I want it to be right.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I just finished my first quilt top for a grandchild I’m expecting in a month and I was totally at a loss as to how to finish it. Now I know what to do. I love that your video is short to the point, nothing is more frustrating than trying to find a solution to a problem on RUclips wasting 30 minutes watching a video that is no help at all.
Thank you! I’ve named my quilt “Picking Up the Pieces of My Sweet Shattered Dream” the opening line of Carefree Highway by Gordon Lightfoot-shattered glass will be perfect! Totally out of my organized comfort zone but 100% right! Thanks for the idea!
What a breath of fresh air!!! I've been watching lots of videos on machine quilting, but when I tried, it wasn't good! Your ideas for quilt patterns look like a great in between: between regular sewing and free-range quilting (I like to call it that!) I've sewn for years so am really tied to a presser foot and the feed dogs! I think I can actually do what you do in your first several designs (I think in the walking foot section; I've used a walking foot quite a lot). Thank you for making this seem so doable!!!
I love the quilting part best even though it's hard on my body due to osteoporosis. I can't free motion or do ruler work but I have machines w hundreds of stitches & I just got an embroidery machine so I make patterns w decorative stitches,, add embroidery and applique. It's all so fun and my quilts are always interesting to see even though they aren't perfectly put together. Thanks for the vids. I learn a lot, esp since I don't know all the right ways before I start and bc you always say why things dont work.
I have watched this video at least five times. Today I watched it and got up the nerve to actually quilt your big loops as I muttered wax on wax off. I am so pleased with the table runner. Thank you 🙏
What fun! I think the hardest part is just getting the quilting started. I’ve been waiting for a few months to finish two quilts for my granddaughters and VOILA! I’m starting right now. THANK YOU!! Please keep these fun and encouraging tutorials coming! You are terrific!
I love the title. Just get it done! Stop stalling and being scared and just take a stotch or two and start and have fun. This is the advise i learned from you!! Wonderful fun enjoyable and possible to get done!!😄
thanks so much Karen… I learn a multitude of good ideas for my quilting ..every time I come over here.. your good old common sense approach to everything is so inspiring, because it looks easy enough that I think I might be able to do that also !! BEST… CHERYL🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Sorry! I accidentally hit the thumbs down. I changed it to thumbs up. 👍 This was exactly what I needed to decide what quilting pattern I need to choose for my first ever quilt. The top is done, now on to the sandwich and quilting. Thank you so much!!!! ❤ Loved the video.
You are the best, it honestly made me not want to sew anymore, now it's all done and given away by an admiring recipients. Many thanks from me in wintery Auckland New Zealand xxxxxx
thank you. I am a beginner quilter So many ways to quilt are so appealing to me. when I made a baby quilt with teddy bears on it. I just made squares around the bears. It turned out cute and made the bears pop up. Loved that.
Greetings from Tasmania Australia, I've just finished a table runner ,my first quilting attempt. With a few faults its made with love !Next to finish my baby quilt sandwich!
I found your website and videos in March -you got me through the lockdown here in Uk and showed me so much about quilting!! I have wanted to quilt for many years but have never had the time or found the teacher. And i have to say the title 'Just Get It done' was what drew me to you -patience is not my strong point. Many thanks ad keep up the good work!
I have 2 baby quilts to make before the babies are due in August. I was trying to figure out how I wanted to finish them and this gave me some inspiration.
Thank you so much. I was the beginner who tried quilting in the ditch! I abandoned machine quilting and hand quilted instead! It is so difficult to find the information you gave in this video. You have now given me the courage to try again! A million thank yous!
I'm a hand quilter and at almost 79 years old machine quilting feels like such a hurdle to me. I do enjoy your videos, you make it look less complicated than I thought. Maybe some day I'll get the gumption to try.
Good morning Karen. Its 8.30 Sunday morning here in Sydney, Australia. Very, very hot day ahead for us 40+. Yesterday the same temperature. Good days for sewing indoors. Great, easy quilting designs. Thanks. Enjoy your day in cooler weather.
Will definitely save this to watch a few times and begin to experiment. For the life of me, I cannot manage to FMQ! And I worry so much about ruining my quilt tops, as they turn out so nice. Just will have to take the time and practice, practice, PRACTICE! Thanks for the simpler technique ideas until I get better! You're the BEST! 😊💕
Wonky lines are great! As someone who just started playing around with machine piecing/quilting, I find that the wonky lines quilting really helps mask my many less-than-perfect piecing attempts. Thank you for suggesting this technique.
Love your videos Karen! I am a beginner quilter (been sewing garments for decades) and I’m drawn to the very dense free motion quilting styles. Now that I have 3 smallish quilt tops pieced I’m kinda unsure about how to quilt them. This video gives me inspiration to “just get it done”!! 😍 I check my subscription button frequently for all your new content; so thank you for sharing your talents! ❤️
Karen I Love your quilt videos. I especially rewatch the ones on layering, machine quilting and binding every time I get ready to finish a quilt top. It just reminds me and makes it so much easier to finish. Thanks again.😊
Hello Karen Thank You so much for your time and energy you put into your channel. I know I’m not the only one who appreciates you 👏👏👏👏👏 I’m a newbie and enjoy all the info you give ❤️😀
I’ve found a lovely way to use batik fabrics. I’m presently making a quick quilt with 10 inch squares. So some are batik and some are white and some are a pale coloured linen. I find batik next to batik can either be too much or they actually look dull. I’m putting my 10 inch squares in a diagonal pattern going down. Ive noticed that using white and pale linen makes the batik (and I’m using different ones) really sing out. Each batik square looks like a jewel! Of course it’s all a matter of preference! I haven’t decided on the back or after quilt yet!
I have two sandwiches I've been putting off quilting, but you've inspired me! Especially love the wave idea. Time to get stitching. Thank you and Happy Quilting!
Thank you so much for your information on walking foot techniques. I am so comfortable on using it and I am not so much comfortable with my free motion foot just yet. I am working on two quilts at a time and I totally enjoyed the techniques you have went over. I am even more eager on putting them both together. Thank you again for your video.
Thanks for this timely video! After 16 years of making quilts, I'm finally venturing into the actual quilting on my domestic machine. Great tips and suggestions for patterns!
OMG! I cannot master quilting in the ditch. I have done on the diagonal and also used the masking tape as line markers. Still not wonderful but better. Did I mention I’m a fairly new quilter? So many frustrations in quilting. Thank goodness for videos to watch! Thank you, Karen.
Needed to do a quick I Spy quilt for a sick child so I tried the "Wave" method. It turned out well & was easy & quick to do. I will definitely use this method again. Thanks so much Karen for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you for your calm reassurance in this video. With your video and Lori Kennedy's 25 Days to Better Machine Quilting, I know I can finally make these quilt tops into FINISHED quilts. 😊
The timing of this video is perfect as I have quite a few quilt tops to finish...The one I have been pondering how to finish is a crumb/scrap large lap sized quilt with no lines to follow/ditch to stitch! Thanks! This is great!
Oh how funny, DH, me too! I just finished my first crumb quilt and got stuck on how I should quilt it. I think I’ll try the shattered glass idea. Good luck with yours!
Thank you Karen for such wonderful tutorials on quilting! It’s been many years since I have quilted and your videos have peaked my interest again and I’m so excited to try all your ideas and get back in the game!
Oh my goodness I have usually done stitch in the ditch than I did quarter inch to half inch size of the seams. But I have found that doing diagonal lines is better for me. My quilt doesn’t come out as wrinkly or punchy. When I use straight lines, it doesn’t look as nice. I’m not going for perfection. I just want to get it done! I like the options you have shown me here. Why have I not seen you before?
You must have been reading my mind! I am stuck on a baby quilt. I love the design of the quilt, but could not come up with an idea of how to quilt it. Love these ideas!
Love all your straight line ideas. I think I can do straight sewing! LOL! The free motion really intimidates me, though years ago, I gave it a go and did fine...must build up confidence.
As always such a great video Karen. I’ve quilted a few of my own quilts when I started a few years ago, all but one of them were queen sized quilts. Realized that this step was my least favourite in the process. I then moved onto having a long arm artist take over that step for me. This past week I finished up a baby quilt that I quilted myself and actually really enjoyed the process. My new plan moving forward, quilt small quilts myself to build my skill level and have a long armer continue to quilt my large quilts until (if ever) I feel ready for that challenge again. The techniques in the video will be added to the growing list of Karen Lessons I’ve been applying to my quilting obsession🌸
Waves and Wonky lines are my favorites for doing machine quilting. Then, straight lines, then straight lines with angles. I use a walking foot, so I don't do any of the loopy lines, even though I like the look.
Hi, just what I needed to watch today as I was in a bit of a quandary as to what quilting to do in the border of a baby quilt for my grandson; loopy free motion it is. Thanks for the inspiration.
Just completed my first "shattered glass" quilting project. It was so easy -- I used painter's tape to make my lines straight. Thanks for the great tutorial and tips!
Good refresher for all quilters. I'd like to think of myself of "pro" level but reality says otherwise. I agree with you that some little mistakes won't even be noticed when binding is on...It's all part of the process. Thanks for providing such nice videos!
Thank you Karen for another great video. You always have such great tips but your "it doesn't have to be perfect" resonates the most. I have one questIon - when using 40 weight thread do you use it in the bobbin as well?
Happy Saturday everyone. I'm sure you're like me and have several quilts to finish before the holidays. Here are some fast and easy patterns to just get it done. Grab your coffee and let's get quilting
Thank you I’m trying
Thank you. Learning to use a mid arm. This will be easy for me to do as I try to get my first quilts quilted quickly.
Thank you
Love your ‘Can do’ approach Karen.
Thanks to you I found that my old Pfaff -inherited from my Mom- has a built in walking foot. On one of my small practice quilts I found it DID eliminate the fabric creep! Instant improvement. Thanks for all the tips and gentle teaching.
As a perfectionist, I have trouble letting go and just being free with my quilting. I think we all see such intimidatingly perfect quilting in show quilts but they are often done by a computerised machine or by a quilting expert who has several years of practice.

As long as it stays together, it's good enough. Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
The dense quilting designs are beautiful but they also make a flat shift quilt
Oh so right. After about 2 yrs of playing quiltmaking, I was at a guild where a mate was showing off her FIRST quilt. It REALLY was perfect.
Turned out to be a good thing. I never fret bc I know it's not my forte and also it's highly unlikely I'll live long enough to make it mine. So I make quilts w themes like 50th anniv of Apollo and Woodstock and nobody looks for matched corners !😁
I used to consider myself a perfectionist, but now I believe I’m simply conscientious. I care about how my work looks, and if my name is on it, I want it to be right.
@@jennifermartin5974That’s a great way to rethink perfectionism. Thank you for sharing! I’m going to try to remember that myself.
I know this is an old comment, but this really helped me. I try not to think too hard about it, and it's going better now.
I sincerely hope you love making these videos as much as I enjoy learning from them! Wish you were my next door neighbor!🤗
Hi Karen! I am a new quilter and find your videos so helpful. Thank you for being here for us. I hope to meet you someday.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I just finished my first quilt top for a grandchild I’m expecting in a month and I was totally at a loss as to how to finish it. Now I know what to do. I love that your video is short to the point, nothing is more frustrating than trying to find a solution to a problem on RUclips wasting 30 minutes watching a video that is no help at all.

Maybe that's what's playing through Karen's headphones!
"I wonder how the old folks are tonight..."
What a breath of fresh air!!! I've been watching lots of videos on machine quilting, but when I tried, it wasn't good!

Wax on, wax off 🤣 I love you Karen lol
Thank you, I will try it. Happy quilting.
I loved your use of multicolored thread!
I love the quilting part best even though it's hard on my body due to osteoporosis. I can't free motion or do ruler work but I have machines w hundreds of stitches & I just got an embroidery machine so I make patterns w decorative stitches,, add embroidery and applique. It's all so fun and my quilts are always interesting to see even though they aren't perfectly put together.
Thanks for the vids. I learn a lot, esp since I don't know all the right ways before I start and bc you always say why things dont work.
Perfect timing for me as well. I literally just came home from a free motion quilting class for this video to pop up on my phone.
I have watched this video at least five times. Today I watched it and got up the nerve to actually quilt your big loops as I muttered wax on wax off. I am so pleased with the table runner. Thank you 🙏
Very good 👏👏👏

Thank you! I now realize that I can quilt in one direction, like the wavy lines. Greetings from Tennessee, US!
I am Indian and I watch you are taknic is very easy thankyou
You always give me the confidence to have a go, thankyou from Somerset england
👍
This video is EXACTLY what I needed! Thanks for being there for me! 😍🤩
Thank u VERY much! U’re a natural teacher. Straight & to the point. Excellent editing & chapters are easy reference points. Did i say THANK U?!
You are welcome
Hi I have been quilting and have visited you demonstrating at leat four times for reference and ideas. Love your channel for great ideas ❤❤
thank you. I am a beginner quilter So many ways to quilt are so appealing to me. when I made a baby quilt with teddy bears on it. I just made squares around the bears. It turned out cute and made the bears pop up. Loved that.

Greetings from Tasmania Australia, I've just finished a table runner ,my first quilting attempt. With a few faults its made with love !Next to finish my baby quilt sandwich!
It’s like you knew that I have 2 quilts to quilt and didn’t know what to do.... now I do! Thank you ever so much
Thank you so much for showing quilting ideas you can do on a domestic machine. A longarmer is not in my budget!

You've given me confidence that I can actually do my own quilting. I've been avoiding this step for over 10 years. Thank you so much
Amazed at how well your quilt sandwich behaves while you sew. Small quilts are easy but when you need to roll up, mine always seems to move.
Pacing and patience. The larger quilts are very physically taxing.
Good morning Karen. Its 8.30 Sunday morning here in Sydney, Australia. Very, very hot day ahead for us 40+. Yesterday the same temperature. Good days for sewing indoors. Great, easy quilting designs. Thanks. Enjoy your day in cooler weather.
Oh wow!...I just went for a walk with a wind chill of -5
I'm just starting to do machine quilting. Im going to hold onto your video for a reference. Thank you!
Will definitely save this to watch a few times and begin to experiment. For the life of me, I cannot manage to FMQ! And I worry so much about ruining my quilt tops, as they turn out so nice.

You are wonderful.Why have I not found you sooner
Masking tape!! Love it!
Thanks so much, Karen. Your videos are the ABSOLUTE best! Soooo helpful. Have a great day!
This is just what I need! Thank you for giving us this great resource

Thanks for these easier FMQ and walking foot ideas. I might be able to finish a couple of UFO's with these helpers.
I have two sandwiches I've been putting off quilting, but you've inspired me! Especially love the wave idea. Time to get stitching. Thank you and Happy Quilting!
She gave me the courage to do a wavy quilting design. So much less stress, and it looks good too!
Love it. Loopy lines are my go to quilting design.
Easy and “made for” home machines!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your information on walking foot techniques. I am so comfortable on using it and I am not so much comfortable with my free motion foot just yet. I am working on two quilts at a time and I totally enjoyed the techniques you have went over. I am even more eager on putting them both together. Thank you again for your video.
Thank you so much for these ideas. I was at a loss as I'm not good at FMQ as of yet. I appreciate it!
I am a newbie and after watching other videos was not looking forward to this part. Thanks so much. Love this video. You make it look like fun!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the caution if the stitch in the ditch I was about to do!
Thanks for this timely video! After 16 years of making quilts, I'm finally venturing into the actual quilting on my domestic machine. Great tips and suggestions for patterns!
I love your videos thank you so much for sharing your quilting tips and tricks.
OMG! I cannot master quilting in the ditch. I have done on the diagonal and also used the masking tape as line markers. Still not wonderful but better. Did I mention I’m a fairly new quilter? So many frustrations in quilting. Thank goodness for videos to watch! Thank you, Karen.
Thank you for this great video, Karen! That is the right inspiration I needed. I have to tops that need to be quilted. ; )
It's a race to get them done before they turn into UFO's for 2021
Thank you! Your encouragement is so helpful!
Beautiful techniques, thank you so much for sharing.
Needed to do a quick I Spy quilt for a sick child so I tried the "Wave" method. It turned out well & was easy & quick to do. I will definitely use this method again. Thanks so much Karen for sharing your knowledge with us!

Wax on - wax off My mind went straight to The Karate Kid from many years ago. 🤣 Good analogy though.
It's exactly that. You need that rotational movement to do the loops.
Thank you for offering all your tips & suggestions, I really appreciate your videos!!!
I do mostly straight line quilting and wavy lines. I like your "wax on, wax off" circles. Thank you 💕
Perfectly Straight is over rated 😎
The timing of this video is perfect as I have quite a few quilt tops to finish...The one I have been pondering how to finish is a crumb/scrap large lap sized quilt with no lines to follow/ditch to stitch! Thanks! This is great!
Wonderful!
Oh how funny, DH, me too! I just finished my first crumb quilt and got stuck on how I should quilt it. I think I’ll try the shattered glass idea. Good luck with yours!
Thanks Karen. I always learn from you. I enjoy your videos.
I so love your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing ❤ 💕
Thank you Karen for this great tutorial. I will keep this on review.😎😉
Love your videos and share them with friends. They are so common sense and easy to follow, making one believe they can do it! Thanks so much.
THANK YOU !!!🙂🎁👍
Thank you Karen for such wonderful tutorials on quilting! It’s been many years since I have quilted and your videos have peaked my interest again and I’m so excited to try all your ideas and get back in the game!

I just tried "gentle wave" on a quilt last night and it turned out great! Thanks for that idea!
You must have been reading my mind! I am stuck on a baby quilt. I love the design of the quilt, but could not come up with an idea of how to quilt it. Love these ideas!
Happy holidays

Thank you! Great motivation for quilting our own quilts!
Your tips are always beautiful and practical. Wish I had found you sooner . Thanks
Thanks for this. I’ve yet to make a quilt but feel more confident about the actual quilting after watching this
Hi, just what I needed to watch today as I was in a bit of a quandary as to what quilting to do in the border of a baby quilt for my grandson; loopy free motion it is. Thanks for the inspiration.
OMG! You read my mind! I've got two lap quilts to finish for Christmas.....time to finish another audio book or two. Cheers!
Else Adams in Colorado
Love your common sense advise.Thank you
Just completed my first "shattered glass" quilting project. It was so easy -- I used painter's tape to make my lines straight. Thanks for the great tutorial and tips!
Almost skipped this because I thought they would be patterns I already knew - nope - glad you shared and that I checked it out 👍.
You are very encouraging, thank you. I never really finish my quilts after I do the top. I have about 8 tops. It's the quilting bit that stops me
You can do it! Don't worry about any wobbles or mistakes. All will be forgiven after you get the binding on
Great information! I actually don’t feel as intimidated! Thank you.
Yay! Now I can approach my sugaridoo quilt with confidence. Thanks Karen!
Wonderful!
You inspire me every time. It’s odd how much anxiety I have about quilting but l love the process. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing great help now to try it.
Thank you so much for expertise 😊
With Christmas right around the corner, your timing is wonderful!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!!!
Good refresher for all quilters. I'd like to think of myself of "pro" level but reality says otherwise. I agree with you that some little mistakes won't even be noticed when binding is on...It's all part of the process. Thanks for providing such nice videos!
Wonderful video! Thanks again for your techniques and confidence building. I may now leave the ditch and venture forth.
Thankyou so much for this video. I have used the wave pattern many rimes now to-get my ufo’ quilted.
Thank you Karen for another great video. You always have such great tips but your "it doesn't have to be perfect" resonates the most. I have one questIon - when using 40 weight thread do you use it in the bobbin as well?
Not always. Most of these quilts had 50 in the bobbin
