I recently purchased this Dream Big floral panel (in Vanilla) and now I can't wait to get started! It might seem unusual to see men who can quilt, but really...they're among the best designers and tailors in the world, so this video shouldn't be a big shock! To have the patience and creativity is certainly to be appreciated and complimented. This project is a work of art and this gentleman gets a standing ovation from me!
I saw this for the first time today and all I can say is " wow". Beautiful work and at least I learned how to do the binding this way which I had been wanting to do. Thank you very much for the opportunity to see your work.
So talented Alain. I have never seen the binding started and then tucked in the way you did it. Very interesting. Sooooooo much to learn!!! Again, great teaching.
Really appreciate you showing how to quilt a large project on a domestic machine! A lot of free motion quilting lessons are done on a very small project and really don't show the challenges of working on a larger project. Bravo!
WOW, For a new quilter, a BABY Quilter, you really are a natural. Very impressive. I did not have the volume problem to the extent some seem to have. I cannot imagine the things you will be doing a year from done. Please do keep posting. You are inspiring me!
Yes, Good News! We have the pattern for these petals and how to instructions available on our website. cottagetreasures.store To hang them on the wall. We just wrapped a piece of dowel with either white or black tape. Then attached the quilt to the dowel with 3 office clamps. Then attached the dowel to the wall with 2 heavy weight 3M hooks.
It is Gorgeous! I do believe you have found your CALLING...or maybe one of your many. So beautifully creative. Thanks for sharing and teaching others. Keep on truckin...probably a 60's saying. I'm old enough to be your maw or granny.
3 Days! I have been trying for 3 years. I just assumed that free motion wasn't for me. But after watching your videos, I am going to try again. I have been binge watching your videos today.😊
Well thank you very much. I will talk to Delilah and maybe we will start number 3. are there any FMQ patterns you would like to see cause I'm open to comments.
Surely you have a gift being able to quilt so quickly! Your panel turned out fabulous and has encouraged me to give it a try in a week or two. Great video!
It actual started very slow. Then Alain would keep one speed as the practice on paper taught him first, where he was going on the fabric. Then he sped up the video in editing so you would not be bored.
By far the best -beginning to end- tutorial of sewing on the BINDING I've ever seen, and I've been quilting for someeee time. The entire tutorial was very well done and I appreciate you sharing. Thank you both. Sarah C.
WOW, you do a great job at that. I'm new and I'm trying to quilt my quilt tops. Going to try your method by making templates and practicing on other Fabrics before I do my quilt tops thank you that is a beautiful quilt that you did
Hi Delilah and André. Thank you so much for making this video. Absolutely love your instructions and the quilt is beautiful. I cannot wait to get started on mine!
What a beautiful quilt! I hope you guys post many more videos/tutorials. The more quilting videos the better as the quilting community is growing and growing. We need more domestic machine quilting videos and tutorials. Again, you did a wonderful job!!
Awe, Thank You. We are working on 3 new quilts next week, the Ivory Panel of Dream Big. A Laura Heine Collage Rooster and a Laura Heine Collage of a Sea Turtle.
Wow. Your are a natural for sure. I love your attitude and confidence in yourself. I struggled for a while, 18 years on my domestic but last year jumped to a longarm. I think you would be fantastic with that. Also I had my kitty, Mytzee with me quilting until she was 20. Love seeing your fur baby. Brings back wonderful memories. Keep up the great work. I just recently bought the panel at MQX in New Hampshire. Can’t wait to get it to the house. They were sold out in minutes. I love feathers and yours look wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see men stepping in to this role. Diane K from Ct.
Sorry, I just saw the question you had regarding my long arm crossover. I enjoy it. It was different to be moving the machine as opposed to the fabric. My favorite way to quilt is using rulers. I do have a ProStitcher on my machine (H Q Avante) however I use the machine manually with the stitch regulator more. The computer is a little over my head. With practice it can be done. I would suggest someone buy the machine and use it for a year before deciding to add the computer. A friend of mine just uses the freehand method and has no interest in computerized quilting. After seeing what you are capable of, I know using a long arm will be much easier for you to get the beautiful detailed quilting you do and much faster. There is a bit of a learning curve but worth it in the end. I watched many hours of You Tube videos to help me. As far as which machine to purchase, I went with a 10 foot table just because of space. I don’t do king size quilts so it’s big enough. Each manufacturer has different features and most have the ability to add the computer later. Definitely test run a few brands. Each one feels and runs different for everyone. Some felt very heavy to me and others felt too light and had some bounce when quilting. I attended MQX shows for 5 years before I made the decision. To save some money, I bought a demo model from my local retailer and the warranty is still valid and transfers to the buyer. Good luck. If you decide to buy, I will be excited to see what you make with it.
Wow, you are a true artist and a natural quilter! I loved every inch of your video! I was putting a binding on today and my machine acted very ugly when I was finishing at the join. I just left it til tomorrow, but you made it look so easy! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! Anxiously awaiting your next video 😊
Great job! I'm glad I watched this cause i have this panel and now I know I can quilt this, love the spray adhesive too! Thank you!!!💜 feeling inspired
I never have quilted much on my sewing machine, just some stitch in the ditch, and echo quilting. I love what you did to this big dream panel. I am going to start practicing. Really enjoy the different ideas here on others that you have posted. The music is a nice addition. but the cats need to go. Besides the cat hair that must be everywhere, that lady talks to them and I am here to watch how to quilt on my sewing machine. Thank you keep up the great work. Only a couple of weeks, that surprised me to hear.
Beautiful. Want to do this. I’m still at kindergarten level of free motion. I love it. I have this fabric and I’m going to quilt it ev3n if it’s just squiggles. 🤩
great video. I was a little anxious when the camera went off center or out of focus, since I wanted to see every second of what you showed. Commentary was great and very informative for us newbies! Thank you! Beautiful job. Love to see more, since this video is nearly a year ago.
Awe. Thanks so much for the wonderful comments. We have planned a lot of new videos over the winter to help. If you hit Subscribe below our video. It's Free and you will automatically get a notice on the side of you tube that there is a new video released that you may like.
at 16:04, i was thinking of a few things to help you, not because i have quilted by machine before but because i have been gathering info and thinking of trying. 1. copy your little pattern so if ruined you still have the original. 2. take thread out of your machine (i like to put in an old BIG needle) and stitch the pattern using the paper only 3. now you have holes in the paper that you can use to mark fabric through. if the dots are too hard to follow, connect them. now you don't have to constantly place the pattern and pick it up. i hope this helps. you are did a great job! keep it up! You have inspired me to actually sit down at my machine and give it a go.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I’m envious of your quick talent! I love the feathers, but I’m scared to even try them. You make it look so easy!! I guess I have more practicing ahead of me.
Practice is imperative on those feathers but once you start to get the hang of it, its like riding a bike. try drawing it first on paper that really helped me.
Great Video, very educational, simple and instructive. cute cat but more interesting in the sewing technique, I need to rewatch, did I see you sewing the paisley without a sewing foot , could be my bad. Sound was fine for me, looking forward to more videos.
Hi Sherry, Thanks so much. Yes, we had a ruler foot on for the paisley's. We have just completed a new quilt and have a second one to FMQ. We should have the video's available in about 5 to 6 more weeks. Alain is in the Arctic circle for another stint. So can't wait to see what he does with this second one when he is finished in another month. Cheers Delilah
I enjoyed your video very much. I am very impressed the quilt is just lovely inspired me to try one myself. I have a longarm hope I can do a beautiful quilt too. Keep Sewing!
Gorgeous!! thanks so much for this great tutorial. Only one comment a bit negative is the photographer was a little out of focus and jittery at times. BUT, you did a wonderful job!
Congrats Alain on your first week of machine quilting! Amazing natural talent. Cheers! 💜✂️🧵🪡🎨, Jo
Great quilting works. I thank you

Nice video, thank you. I am getting into panels, and FMQ so this interested me very much.
And it is good to see a guy do some needlework! lol

One of the best videos on the panel yet!
Yes! More guys that quilt! Great job.
I can't believe you have only been free hand quilting for a week! This is amazing. I love this panel!
Absolutely beautiful. The best video on doing this panel. Well Done!!!
Awe! Thank You so much.
Is there a video on how to hang it on the wall?Also Do you have the patterns for these petals.
Yes, Good News! We have the pattern for these petals and how to instructions available on our website. cottagetreasures.store
To hang them on the wall. We just wrapped a piece of dowel with either white or black tape. Then attached the quilt to the dowel with 3 office clamps. Then attached the dowel to the wall with 2 heavy weight 3M hooks.

Looks fantastic! I have the panel, but haven’t ventured in to quilting it yet. Your video is an inspiration. Thankyou.
What a wonderful video, I feel that I want to get the fabric and try myself. So imprest with all your videos they have helped me so much.
Love it! Patriots hat makes it even better! Your method for finishing the binding is way better than they way I have been doing it
Thanks so much. It's my Luck hat.
Thanks so much. Jolly great to watch you sew and the cats.
3 Days! I have been trying for 3 years. I just assumed that free motion wasn't for me. But after watching your videos, I am going to try again. I have been binge watching your videos today.😊

Thank You so much for the kind word. The cats are always lending a hand in the quilt room lol. Id love to see your quilt when its done.
Thanks so much. We are working on a more advanced free motion Dahlia Panel. Looking into a long arm. How did you like the jump?

Gorgeous quilting! You did such a fantastic job for a newbie. Looking forward to more from you. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Excellent job !
Beautiful. Want to do this. I’m still at kindergarten level of free motion. I love it. I have this fabric and I’m going to quilt it ev3n if it’s just squiggles. 🤩

I tried to machine quilt, I am not coordinated. I do love your video. Wonderful job!
You did an amazing job. Congratulations.
Spectacular.
Thank you so much. we are about to release a free motion series for beginners just editing it as we speak
Absolutely lovely!!
at 16:04, i was thinking of a few things to help you, not because i have quilted by machine before but because i have been gathering info and thinking of trying.
1. copy your little pattern so if ruined you still have the original.

3. now you have holes in the paper that you can use to mark fabric through. if the dots are too hard to follow, connect them. now you don't have to constantly place the pattern and pick it up.
i hope this helps. you are did a great job! keep it up! You have inspired me to actually sit down at my machine and give it a go.
Im definitely going to give that a try thank you!!
Beautiful panel to work on :) Very nice work ! Looks like a fun project.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I’m envious of your quick talent! I love the feathers, but I’m scared to even try them. You make it look so easy!! I guess I have more practicing ahead of me.
