I love looking at all the pretty quilts!🧵
Geez, you made the whole quilt for her. Her quilt! What does she have to complain about! For the love!
It’s just people 🥴😊🤓it’s just people.
Your a great service provider. The lesson learned here is written orders. You were blessed to have them. And you are correct when we take an item in to someone for service we want it right and we want to be valued. I think your customer knows she’s valued. As always your work is great 😊
Thank you Lorena for your great example of being gracious. Win, win! Your client is happy and you have retained your client. It is most likely that she will recommend your service to others also. Great lesson.
Your attitude is so good! Good idea to have work orders in writing! I’m so glad you were able to find a way to give the client what she wanted…very creative solution!
Hi Lorena, I love your servant’s heart! If I didn’t do my own longarm quilting, I would send all my quilts to you❤️
My sister is a dressmaker. She learned, from my mother who was a very experienced dressmaker, as well as from her own experience to alway make notes, ask many questions to clarify and get the client to read her notes. And still, there were sometimes problems because the garment came out differently or the client had a different idea of how it would look.
You crack me up! I love that fabric - I actually bought a yard of it and I'm going to do the same thing your client had you do for my Granddaughters. 🙂April
Yes ! Love the Lord❤️🙏. Great job!
I love your message today about staying peaceful~ the quilts are fantastic! The colors are so cheery- you are very talented
I like the patches a lot, I think you are very patient.
Whew! I'm so glad you resolved that with your client! It's so interesting that I saw this video because we're about to become LA's and was just pondering this scenario. ;) Grace. Such a beautiful word! God bless!
I have to say you do A LOT for your clients… No long arm quilter I’ve ever been to trims the quilt batting, that’s such a sweet thing to do! Also, the services you provide are amazing, you bind the quilts too!!! I honestly wish I had a place like that around here.
I live in NC and the local quilter does trimming and binding.
@@sewmeonekenobi639 wow! I feel like I'm being cheated 😭 When I get my quilts back I have to do the trimming etc, it's not offered as a service...not to mention batting and backing as a service that would be lovely!
I've had to same long arm quilter since I began quilting and never knew this was offered as a service. Her shop was where I went to learn to quilt "properly", I needed help with some blocks etc.
Thanks, now I know that it's what's expected!
Nicely done with grace and dignity
You are so nice and so funny! Love your positive attitude. Customers can be difficult but you handle it with a great attitude!
Great video. You are alway calm and positive and willing to work it out. Lesson learned … Always confirm changes in writing.
You’re such a beautiful person Lorena. Hope to see you at Festival again this year!!!
I would love that
You are amazing with your customer service. One of the most important lessons I learned, believe it or not, while working at McDs is ‘the customer is always right’. Even if it’s their mistake. You went above and beyond. I so love your graciousness towards your clients and how you strive to stay calm in an awkward situations. You gained me as a follower due to this!
Thank you so much ..
Such a relief. Glad you had those texts. But that patch - looked sooo cute! Would love to see what you did on the back.
Time saver suggestion - have two cones of each color so one is on the machine and one is on the bobbin winder, and run only the bobbins you need so as not to waste thread. (Then piece quilt tops with leftover bobbin thread on your domestic machine!) 10 year Gammill Statler longarm quilter here.
Cool idea.. I was so annoyed with myself
Yes, I always buy 2 cones for that very reason, not to mention if you run out of thread on a quilt.
Love the batik fabrics!!!
She was very lucky to have you - I actually think it looked nicer with the patches on - clever you 😂😂
My goodness you are sweet, I need to learn to cultivate this attitude.
Thanks for sharing this story and the happy resolution what a great solution to the problem!
Beautiful quilting!!
Either way is beautiful
Truth is... It's easier to see the embroidery on the solid colored background (patch), than on the printed fabric (the quilt top). Personally, knowing kids, I would have removed/unpicked the "wrong" stitching even though I was going to cover it up with the patch. After several washings a lot of the signs of the old embroidery would be gone and if that patch was ever to come off most of the evidence of a mistake would be gone.
This is the first of your videos and I must say I am impressed!! You’re so cute and very gracious!
Thank you so much Cindy
Great video. I do the same in my business. Even though the client made a mistake I redo the order for them. You want them to be happy because they have ordered before or may order again.
Right some people don’t get that..
You have a lot of patience girl.
My thought too :)
Love your videos and your positive attitude. Keep them coming. 👍
If a potential client cancel several times this is a red flag. You might not want the headache.
Yes!! That’s definitely a warning sign :)
You are so stinkin’ cute, adorable, & very transparent! Pretty wise too! Love your videos, I haven’t watched in a while as I’ve gone full time! Oh, I forgot to mention full of it….. the gifts of the Holy Spirit 😊 Love you!
Thank you so much for being so sweet.
I think she should have written down or talked to you in person. Explained what colors went where. You are not a mind reader. Such a shame and you work so hard doing what you do. You are amazing. You have to do what is in your heart. If she is happy its good advertisement for you too. You did what was right to keep her happy. God Bless
I feel your pain, usually I prewind a lot of bobbins for a particular quilt job, but sometimes it's just not enough.
You are amazing!
Well handled!!
I made a quilt for a coworker who wanted his granddaughter’s name embroidered on the quilt. He gave me the wrong name and tried to blame me. But the text with the name saved me. I made a second quilt for him with the correct name. Unfortunately he only paid me for the one quilt. I felt bad for him because he got the name wrong so I didn’t insist on getting paid for both quilts. I still had to ask him to pay me though. If I hadn’t asked, he wouldn’t have paid me. I don’t love making quilts for money. But the last time someone asked me to make a quilt, I told them they needed to go buy the fabric or kit and I would do it for them. I never heard from them again. Which was fine. It didn’t hurt my feelings. I know how it is. People don’t realize how much fabric costs. And they don’t realize how long it takes to make a quilt, especially if you have a regular job too. I quilt because I love it. It’s a lifestyle.
You are the best!
Very good… & Amen
I got to a point where special orders just weren’t worth it because they either didn’t want to pay the price, didn’t like the color, etc. I wouldn’t have gone out and bought the fabric, etc. if she wanted it bad enough she would have done the shopping and done a personal netting. Thank goodness you had the text. Hope she does end up being a wonderful client and not a constant problem.
I think she will be okay.. or I hope so. but just in case it’s easy to say no..🥴😊🥸
A very sincere video🧵🪡✂️🌹
Another reason I cannot be a professional long arm quilter, I need to be more gracious to people. Thank you for sharing that story. You did the right thing and I need more examples of that in my life. It feels like there are so many selfish people around me that its refreshing to hear a story of service and grace.
By the way, I might have a template cutting challenge/job for you but I'm not on facebook. Where can I find your contact information?
"I'm not gracious, please take my order"
Dude. 😑
I will message you on you tube my information
@@thaliacrafts407 just keeping it real. I have more grace for small businesses trying to make it in this crazy world than I would have for demanding customers. Being a business owner and being a customer are 2 different things. I've been both and an employee doing customer service. I don't want to be a business owner again. Its a tough job and I have a lot of respect for them. I can be a gracious customer because I've dealt with ungracious customers and don't want to be a difficult one. I'm working on finding those areas in my life that I can improve on and the places where I could be a better person. Years of working retail have jaded me and I could learn to have more grace with people who I serve.
Batting mountain hahahahaaaa ♡
Lorena. Thanks so much for sharing so much with us. I've learned so much from you.
Will you please tell me which bobbin winder you use? I have a Gammill Statler as well, but I am having trouble with the bobbin wonder I bought when I got my machine from Linda's. Thanks. God bless you.
It’s the innova bobbin winder ruclips.net/video/QjhW_iUJc-0/видео.html
Well done!
Lesson learned. tyvm
Classy
Hhhmm personally I'd like the embroidery on a patch that gift recipient could later remove if they desired. I totally understand the purchaser has their own ideas.
Oh you did patch... i must admit i loved the colours and design on the printed fabric.
Yes! I added it for her to fix it
In Houston’s Meyerland Mall a brand new JoAnn’s Fabric just opened a couple of days ago and they are going to have a Long Arm machine for customers to rent and use in the store. You have to know how to use it there will be no one there to help you. Izzy
I am super lazy. I buy 2 spools of every thread so that I can wind the bobbin while the quilt is quilting. I hate to have to re thread the longarm and waste that thread. We need a spool holder as a bobbin!!!!!
Me tooo it was so dumb of me! But we’ll it happens
Me too!! 😆
You are so entertaining!! Thanks for keeping it real. Love the dance moves in between rows 🤣🤣 I just get the biggest kick outta you!
So did you have batting in between the Emma and Avery quilts? It didn’t appear to be any. If not, do you adjust your tension on the top or bobbin thread for this? I’ve never tried to quilt something without some sort of batting in it. Now ya got me thinkin. 😝 Thanks for the great video today. Have a marvelous weekend! 🤗
Yes I placed batting i between.. it makes it a bit beefier
What does it cost to quilt a quilt?
.02 square inches .
Are we supposed to tip our longarm quilter? How do we figure that out? I don’t want to upset anyone, but I never heard to tip the quilter. What’s a good guideline?
No.. my client just gave me extra money for the extra work despite me not charging her.. what ever your longarmer charges you is the price you pay the only reasons she gave me a tip is for fixing the quilts for her.
Why do you sew backings onto your leaders? Why not pin them?
Pins take too long.. sewing the leaders with a basting stitch takes less than 2 minutes .. the back fabric is even throughout the whole leader. When you at end of quilt you also don’t get pinned or garments get caught by the pin when moving around the quilt. Also pinning creates puckers throughout the back fabric . But the main reason is time. . It can take 30- hour to pin a back fabric right. I don’t have that kind of time when I’m quilting 4-5 quilts a day
@@ToniNov25 Makes Sense. It was just a question. I pin my backing fabric to my leaders, but I've done it enough that I'm pretty fast with it. We all have something that works for each of us, right? More power to you!😊
Mistakes are merely pauses and resets.
Love this .. Kylie
