This is the best video I’ve found for teaching a beginner how to load a quilt onto a quilting frame. Thank you so much! I also loved that the video was filmed in real time.
Thanks so much for this video. Going to use this machine later today and although I took a training class this helps clear up a lot of the smaller details that I was unsure about.
Thanks Loretta. You make loading the quilt so easy to remember. I have a problem with that. Also, I put pins in my mouth all the time.......We learned before magnetic pin cushions!
Great video. I can't wait until I have room for a larger frame and can replace my Little Foot (5') frame. Do you plan on doing a video for easier loading of a Little Foot for quilts larger than 60"?
I have a 5’ frame, and found that Handi Quilter’s RUclips channel has some great tutorials (from 5 years ago) showing how to load and quilt a larger quilt on a 5 foot frame. I like to watch different tutorials from several people to see their techniques. There are also Facebook groups for both Handi Quilter Simply Sixteen and Baby Lock Coronet that you can join. There are lots of tips and tricks on both groups from all the people who own these machines. I do look forward to a tutorial from Loretta, as she is always so thorough. Hope this helps.
It holds the top taut so you're less likely to have tucks and wrinkles. Particularly nice with a quilt that has a lot of piecing so that it holds the seams parallel.
Very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you Pat!
Love that you showed this!
Hope it helps Connie!

Thank you for the great video. You answered all of my questions.

Your hack for fixing the slack on the side is genius. It works perfectly as I loaded my first quilt today and used it.
Glad it helped!
This was very helpful for me. Thanks for sharing your method.
Great tutorial, thank you!

what did you call the white clamp, to put in back?
thanks for video,
It's a channel lock
What is the benefit to pinning the top to a leader vs just floating it?
It holds the top taut so you're less likely to have tucks and wrinkles. Particularly nice with a quilt that has a lot of piecing so that it holds the seams parallel.
That did not seem intimidating at all. And no wrestling a bear on the machine. Great job, Loretta.
Thank you Karen!
