You are awesome, this has helped me so much.. thank you. Appreciate the time ya spent putting this together. New quilter here, so this was perfect, thanks again.. be well. Subscribed 👍
Thank you!!!! I have watched dozens of quilting videos, but you have answered all the things I was unsure about. I have just finished my 4th quilt and think I have definitely caught the bug. I really took my time with the quilting and enjoyed the process. I’d love to know how to avoid puckers??? I’m off now to watch the rest of your videos… p.s I couldn’t for the life of me work out how to bring up the bobbin thread to the top…. Can’t wait to try that now. ❤
In my last quilt I had one tiny pucker at the very bottom just where there was 2 seams crossing a vertical and a horizontal. I was using my walking foot. X
@@dawnlaverty3592 If it was on the front of the quilt, then just do a bit of amoothing and pulling on the top fabric to release the pucker when you are quilting. If it's on the back, then make sure you've smoothed and taped down your backing before you start layering your batting and top over it. And as much as I don't like chemicals, spray basting is excellent at keeping everything smooth. Does that help?
Totally agree with you that stitch in the ditch as a beginner isn't the way to go. It's doubtful it is perfectly pieced so then you have to wiggle the line to stay in the ditch. Parallel lines not related to seam lines is more likely to look good on front and back.
I don't agree. :) It does help to quilt a larger grid first before doing a lot of heavy quilting of specific areas (I will mention that the next time I cover this topic - not really a beginner technique though), but not specifically starting in the center and moving outward. If you've basted well nothing should be moving that much to make a big difference. :) You have had different results?
I love how you explain everything so well, I am a beginner and this has helped me so much! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
I’m just starting my journey of quilting a quilt top and you answered several of my questions! Thank you!
Good for you! So glad I was able to help 🙂

Congrats on 4 quilts! Where are the puckers showing up?

@@prettysimplesara . Thank you. It happened when I was quilting. X
I use spray and pins just to be sure to be sure..🤣🤣
@@dawnlaverty3592 Then it's just smoothing and maybe a bit of tugging. :)

I totally agree!
Thankyou Sara,

Shouldn't one start in the center of quilt then sew each quilting line outward? Not mentioned
