You are the first person I've seen who uses the Coats and Clark thread. Makes me feel much better about using it. It's something I can afford. I really enjoy your videos and your great explanations. Thank you
What I love about you and your quilting videos, is you are so relatable, and down to earth. Like the majority of us quilters out here. You prove you don’t have to have high end quilting tables, and equipment. You use what you have and made it work. I so enjoy watching you!
I have been quilting for probably close to 25 years, I appreciate you sharing the marking tool! I have tried many types of markers, chalk, pencils, love this method with no 'ink'. I also love straight line quilting. Great tips.
Love quilt. Your walking foot should have quilting bars with it which would allow you key off of your first marked line. I agree that preferences are just that. However, I would observe that 30Wt thread on complex blocks with seam convergences might add unnecessary bulk.
Just discovered you today. And what a game changer this and the glue basting video are. I am one happy camper indeed. I have more than 150 quilt tops ready for quilting, but felt they would always be just quilt tops because of the high cost of a long arm. I feel very blessed because of the work you have shared. Thank You
Love your video on glue basting and straight line quilting. You are a natural at teaching! Love your rebellious nature. Looking forward to see all of your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience and skills.
Omg i didnt think i would like straight line quilting. It is so beautiful on this quilt. But now i dont know if i like the back or the front more. They are both so fun and stunning. But that backing fabric is simply gorgeous Miriam. I would love to just slap front and back with this and do straight line quilting on it. I dont get excited much about fabrics but that backing is somethin else. Hugs and much love
If a few of the blocks are a little bit “off” or wonky, should I follow the straight line or follow the middle of the tiny blocks until it gets back to the middle again? Love your videos!
From one quilt instructor to another…YOU are a fabulous teacher. I am new to your tutorials…and after 35+ years of quilt making, I have learned some technique I have never tried! I look forward to enjoying future tutorials! Do you have a video where you tell your viewers a little bit about yourself?
Oh my goodness! What a HUGE compliment! Thank you SO much! I don’t have a video like that, but maybe I should make one ☺️ thank you for the suggestion! 💖
@StitchObsessed oh yes I would love to know more about you and your quilting world. And your kitties of course. Lol you make me feel so comfortable when I'm watching you. Like it's a friend that has come to quilt with me and laugh and tickle the kitties
Hey, watched you run out of bobbin thread and it reminded me: when I get ready to sew, I load up like 7 bobbins, and stack them on the second spool pin on the top of the machine. They are ready to go and don’t have to wind them later!
Just found you by initially watching your glue basting technique and then plundered thru all your vids, opening this one. Humm, what a coincidence! Yep, old lady here & the floor method just can't happen anymore for me either and your "real home" methods are becoming my go to helpers. So glad I found you Miriam, btw Congratulations, seems your caring & sharing has elevated you to a higher calling...nice job LadyBug! The pattern for this quilt ready yet?
Thank you so much, Deborah! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! And yes, the Tiny Checkers pattern is ready! It's available as a PDF or physical copy. You can check it out here: stitchobsessed.myshopify.com/
I’ve a really done a few FMQ tutorials you can find in this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLISoQM_sp_XYdgZ7N_Quilting Tutorials ruclips.net/p/PLISoQM_sp_XYdgZ7N_Wv9yy8AILT4ue9b And I’m actually going to be releasing a new FMQ tutorial later today! So stay tuned for that! 💖
I have two Hera markers. One is quite old, my mum in law gave it to me. And, I haven’t used either! I am inspired to try it. And I may try your pattern, too!
I love the way you explain things. When you show your hands going back-and-forth to show how an even feed foot works was so literal but I think I could be mentally challenged and still understand it. I also like the little giggle you add in once in a while it is very endearing. It takes a rebel to think outside of the box. I really love your glue basting technique.
This is the most informative straight line quilting video I’ve seen. Thank you, I always want to see exactly how it was done. You are a great teacher. Also, love, love, love the pattern.
I adore Miriam. She can teach a professor of quilting. Her work is awesome and any other fabulous adjective I can come up,with. BEAUTIFUL FABULOUS QUILT MIRIAM
I have been quilting since the 1990's. I enjoy your channel and your fun way of explaining techniques is refreshing. My go to marking tool for visible lines is a sliver of soap. I keep small pieces of soap in white for most fabrics and green for white fabrics. It is always guaranteed to wash out, never fades away or disappear and does not brush off like chalk. If i may make a suggestion, it might be helpful for newer quilters to mention your stitch length setting as this is a question that is often asked. I personally have the same machine as you and use 2.5 for piecing and 3.0 for quilting.
Very nicely done. As I could tell the quilt and batting never shifted. Great job. This makes me want to do a small square quilt. Hopefully after I finish the 2 I've got to do. 😊
I’ve not been quilting for long but I’m about to quilt my first HUGE quilt. You’ve just saved me!!! Sending my many thanks and appreciation for your fabulous tutorials. ❤️❤️
I love that quilt!! Am drawing lines on the quilt I just glue-basted per your instructions in the first video of yours I watched. Thank you for all your work!!
Hey Damaris! 💖 I like to use a stitch length of “3” for straightline quilting and I just use a universal 90/14 needle for quilting! I like to keep it simple 🤓
Your cute helpurrs need to meow when the bobbin is close to empty. 😺 You did get very skilled help stabilizing the end of the board for the second marking...and keeping it weighted down was a plus! They are so cute! I really like the quilt pattern and the way you quilted it. I enjoy you and your videos so much!
I'm actually piecing a quilt right now that would work really well with this method. Thank you so much for sharing with us! ❤😊 PS. Your fuzzy assistants are ADORABLE.
The quilting turned out amazing! Such a simple design, but looks much more complex due to the squares and how the lines intersect! Beautiful quilt! Thanks for the very helpful how-to!
I’ve not tried that thread for machine quilting, but I will! Want to recommend, though, that when I do English Paper Piecing, I use 40 weight hand quilting thread (Gutermann). It is so much stronger, and also doesn’t seem to get weak or snap.
I'm so happy to have come across your channel. I know nothing about quilting & I'm intimidated about starting a project (starting off small with a wall hanging) Your down-to-earth tutorial has given me motivation that I should just dive right in. No need of studio frills & things. Thank you so very much. You have great teaching skills and your quilts are beautiful.
I just recently found your channel and have learned so much from watching a few videos. I’m inspired to start quilting again! You do an amazing job teaching!
Oh my goodness, yay! Thank you so much! I’m hoping to have it out by the end of November! Just waiting for the physical copies to be printed and delivered! 👏🏻
I've been told to always start in the center of the quilt. I am getting ready to quilt a big trip around the world quilt with my domestic machine. I was going to do short runs from the center out...but your method looks a lot simpler. This will be my first machine quilting.
Since I glue basted, I don't really need to start in the center. If you pin baste, I would recommend starting in the center. The glue holds the layers together so there isn't any shifting while quilting. I hope that helps! You've got this!!!
When I first started straight line quilting, I used painters tape. I know that struggle all too well 😂 so glad you found this video to help! Thanks for watching! 💖
I would love it if you could show us how to free motion quilt using your Singer patchwork! I have the same machine and have only been able to do straight line/stitch in the ditch. Trued to use the free motion foot that the machine came with and it was a mess! Also tried to use those quilting guide ruler things ..that was a no go because I couldn't put my presser foot down ..HELP. love all your tutorials ❤
I am completely new to sewing and have had no interest in quilting whatsoever. But after watching this video and your video using Elmer’s glue for basting (didn’t even know what basting was before watching that), you’ve made me want to learn to quilt.
I really like the Hera marker but my old eyes not so much. Just finished up several lap size quilts for Christmas gifts and did straight line quilting on them. So much faster! I used the Mark b gone so no worries of it coming back… Thanks for another great video
Hi, Just recently found you. Following your shed progress. I'm jealous. Wondering what stitch length you use for quilting? Love your teaching style. Very thorough and enjoyable.
Just found this today! I have a quilt top ready to quilt or TIE- I usually tie quilts. Anyway- it is a blue jean stained glass window quilt, irregular pieces, all squares or rectangles on 2" increments. I do not have Elmer's school glue. I have the backing and the batting. (got to get the glue). btw- Need this for SUNDAY- it's a raffle prize for my family reunion on Sunday. I didn't want to go around EVERY piece (lots are 2" squares), but I thought I'd just sort of randomly go around some of the squares/rectangles. it's various shades of blue jeans with black Kona cotton being the "lead" - which shows 1/2" wide. I think I'm going to quilt black right in the middle of the Kona Cotton "lead" in a random fashion. Wish me luck. :).
Thank you so much for the tutorial I’ve never done this kind of quilting before. But I’ve always wanted to do it just never knew how I really appreciate this lesson I’m excited about my next quilt because this is the way I’m going to quilt it and now I know how to do it thank you so much❣️🧵✂️🪡💗💕💖💓❤️
I found this very helpful. I purchased my hera marker Elmers Washable School Glue and I intend to try it. My goal is to quilt more and send quilts to a longarm quilter less. Thanks for showing the entire process. I noticed you did not use quilters gloves. Have you ever tried them?
Yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful! It's a lot of fun quilting your own quilts! And yes, I have tried quilters glove, and they do help. I just personally don't like wearing them very often! haha! But they do give your fingers a better grip. It wouldn't hurt to try them out!
Hi, I’m watching your video on straight line Quilting. My question is would it be easy for a beginner to not use the ruler or the stick and just lineup your stitching from corner to corner of the blocks. Basically free handing free stitching. Thank you for your videos
What a comprehensive video on straight-line machine quilting! I have been quilting since the late 1970s, (I was a teenager at the time) and still primarily hand quilt my projects, but this video is inspiring me to give machine quilting another go. I was looking at your stitches to try to figure out what you set for your stitch length. Was your machine set at a 3.5 or 4.0? Oh, and btw, I love the jazz. It reminds me of the music used in “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Thank you for sharing such great content. And all the best with the debut of your new quilt pattern!
Hello! I always straight line quilt with my stitch length set at “3”. 💖 and yes! I’m a fan of jazz so I like to throw some into the videos! Thank you do much for the well wishes 💖
When you started your stitches after your bobbin ran out do you pull the bobbin thread up to the top before continuing? I have a problem with getting a bird’s nest on the back of the quilt whenever I start in the quilt top. Any tips greatly appreciated. You have a very welcoming channel, thanks for your tutorials and your encouragement to as questions.
First off, thank you so much! I’m so glad you’ve found my channel welcome and helpful! That’s the goal! 💖 so to answer your question, you certainly can pull that bobbin thread up, I usually don’t. If I do get that little “birds nest”, I just undo the little nest and trim the excess thread. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching and good luck! 💖
Just found your channel. Love how you have developed your process. At the beginning of this video, I am interested in the marking tool you are using. I kept hearing "hero" marker LoL 😆 So, that is what I searched... still came right up on top in the results. 😮oh... that says HERA marker. 🤦♀️
I believe this quilting is easier because you have a juki TL sewing machine. Which has a higher throat space, then most home sewing machines. I know my juki HZL LB5100 that I have does not have quite the throat space that you have on this machine. And I struggle trying to do even twin size quilts. Because of less throat space on my machine. Than the one you have, but I'm likeing your quilting method used.
I am straight-line quilting a large lap quilt now, using masking tape. Gonna buy a hera marker, it looks easier! Also, what stitch length do you choose for straight-line quilting?
I used to use painter's tape when I did straight-line quilting and let me tell you! The Hera marker saves SO much time and my lines look way better! haha! I hope you like it! And I use a stitch length of "3". Thanks for watching!
Haven't tried it yet but this scenario just came to mind. If one of your straight lines didn't match up exactly with the center of the white blocks what would you have done? For example, the piecing was a little off and therefore would you have sewn the line a little off so that the line still went down the center of the white block. Otherwise the line would be perfectly straight but the error would be more noticeable
I would probably try to find a happy medium between the two options. I'm of the opinion that you are the only one who is going to notice your mistakes. The person you are gifting the quilt to won't notice if one of the lines is slightly off. I hope that helps!
Just discovered your channel and I've been binge watching all of them today. Love your perspective and knowledge. Do you school glue your binding and will you be doing a video of the process. Happy stitches to you 😊
Hello! Thank you so much! I actually haven’t tried gluing the binding! I should; and definitely make a video about it! Happy stitches right back at you! 💖
Just found your video today. Loved the tutorial and found the information very informative. My question is what stitch length do you use for straight line quilting on your domestic sewing machine? I will certainly be looking for more videos as you do them.
I was wondering why you don’t just use the quilting guide you can attach to the quilting foot. Is there an advantage to marking as opposed to the guide set to the right amount of space between lines?
Well, I have a few reasons why! First, I don’t have the guide that works with my walking foot 😂 it’s sold separately and I’ve just never ordered it. Second reason: It allows me to see what the lines will look like before stitching, and if I decide I want a different distance between my lines, I can make that change before doing any stitches. And thirdly, I just plain enjoy the process lol
I’ve been hesitant to crosshatch because I was scared I’d get those little “pinches” of fabric where the seams meet while quilting the second set of lines. Any tips for avoiding that?
The key to avoid those pinches or puckers, I have found, is in the basting process. Glue basting can ensure that your quilt top and backing are laying completely flat on the batting. Also, when you are quilting, make sure you aren’t pulling or stretching the fabric at all.
@@aprilroberts7131 no problem! I actually did an in depth tutorial on glue basting! Here is the link if you’re interested: Glue Basting 101: How to Use School Glue to Baste a Quilt of ANY Size ruclips.net/video/9BrbztHwh-A/видео.html
Great tutorial! I also love straight-line quilting, however, when going in the opposite direction (across previous stitching) I sometimes get puckers or the fabric has shifted. Any suggestions how to avoid this? Would love to hear your comments. Thank you.
Hi, Liz! So, I found the best way to avoid those annoying puckers you need to press your quilt top and backing so they lay as flat as possible. Then when basting, making everything again, is perfectly flat. I really like to use glue basting because that holds the layers of quilt together very well. Also, when quilting, make sure you don’t pull or stretch the fabric at all. Your feed dogs should be doing all the work. I also recommend using a walking foot if you are quilting a larger quilt. I hope all this helps! Let me know if you have other questions! 💖
No, you don't have to stitch in the ditch if you're planning on doing straight line quilting like I show in this video. Good luck on your quilting! You're going to do great!!!
You are the first person I've seen who uses the Coats and Clark thread. Makes me feel much better about using it. It's something I can afford. I really enjoy your videos and your great explanations. Thank you
Yes! I’m all about using affordable but good quality products when I’m quilting! Bonus when you can find it on sale!! Thank you for watching! 💖
I use it to, never tried any other brand. Works fine for me
What I love about you and your quilting videos, is you are so relatable, and down to earth. Like the majority of us quilters out here. You prove you don’t have to have high end quilting tables, and equipment. You use what you have and made it work. I so enjoy watching you!
Thank you so much 🥹💖💖💖
Very nice quilt. Love the design.
Thank you so much! 💖
I have been quilting for probably close to 25 years, I appreciate you sharing the marking tool! I have tried many types of markers, chalk, pencils, love this method with no 'ink'. I also love straight line quilting. Great tips.
Thank you so much, Darlene! The Hera Marker is a game changer!
going to have to look for one at my local JoAnn store, next time I get out
@@StitchObsessed
I’m looking forward to this pattern release. I have SO many jelly rolls!
Yay!!! Yes, this pattern is awesome for those! I’ll be releasing it soon! I’m basically just waiting for the printed copies to be delivered 🤓💖
Great video! Now to try a small quilt using Elmer's glue. Old time quilter but always ready to try new things.🥰
Yay! Thank you for watching, Linda! 💖
Love quilt. Your walking foot should have quilting bars with it which would allow you key off of your first marked line. I agree that preferences are just that. However, I would observe that 30Wt thread on complex blocks with seam convergences might add unnecessary bulk.
I am stealing that washi tape tip!
Also, I've been quilting for 10 years. And I never what a walking foot was. Haha. I gotta get one now. 😀
Haha! Oh yeah, you've got to get one! It really makes a huge difference!
Just discovered you today. And what a game changer this and the glue basting video are. I am one happy camper indeed. I have more than 150 quilt tops ready for quilting, but felt they would always be just quilt tops because of the high cost of a long arm. I feel very blessed because of the work you have shared. Thank You
🤯 150 quilt tops?! Wow! You’ve been a busy camper too! That’s fantastic! I’m so glad my videos are helping you! That makes me SO happy! 💖

Thank you so much 💖
Love using the corner rod as a 'ruler'!! I have 3 helpers (cats) btw...never a dull moment for me with my quilt on the floor!! ha ha
Haha they keep it interesting, right? 😂🥰
A butter knife can also be used. Ise the backside
I bought a Hera marker because you mentioned it in an earlier video. I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Yay!!! It’s a handy little tool! Thank you for watching! 💖
Love your quilt and the cross hatch quilting! Enjoy🎄♥️🧵

I am completely new to sewing and have had no interest in quilting whatsoever. But after watching this video and your video using Elmer’s glue for basting (didn’t even know what basting was before watching that), you’ve made me want to learn to quilt.
😱 this is so awesome!!! A new convert!!! Haha! It’s a very fun and rewarding hobby; you can do it! 💖
I love the idea of using molding. I never thought to do that. Thank you😊
You’re welcome 😊💖 thanks for watching!
I've learned to wind many bobbins, so they're ready when I'm doing a big project.
Yes, that is an excellent idea! Unfortunately, I don’t think that far ahead most days 😂
I really like the Hera marker but my old eyes not so much. Just finished up several lap size quilts for Christmas gifts and did straight line quilting on them. So much faster! I used the Mark b gone so no worries of it coming back… Thanks for another great video
Awesome! Thank you for watching! 💖🥰
Thank you for the video! I'm just going to try my first quilting of a small quilt top so this came in so handy and helpful. Easy to understand.❤
Yay! I’m so glad! Good luck and have fun! 💖
Beautiful!!!! Love your channel. You're a great teacher. Thank you!
Thank you so much 💖
Really pretty pattern!
Thank you! 😊
Hi, Just recently found you. Following your shed progress. I'm jealous. Wondering what stitch length you use for quilting? Love your teaching style. Very thorough and enjoyable.
Thank you so much for watching! I use stitch length of “3” when doing straightline quilting 💖
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Looking forward for the pattern. Love your quilt, it is beautiful.
Thank you!!! 💖💖
Just found this today! I have a quilt top ready to quilt or TIE- I usually tie quilts. Anyway- it is a blue jean stained glass window quilt, irregular pieces, all squares or rectangles on 2" increments. I do not have Elmer's school glue. I have the backing and the batting. (got to get the glue). btw- Need this for SUNDAY- it's a raffle prize for my family reunion on Sunday. I didn't want to go around EVERY piece (lots are 2" squares), but I thought I'd just sort of randomly go around some of the squares/rectangles. it's various shades of blue jeans with black Kona cotton being the "lead" - which shows 1/2" wide. I think I'm going to quilt black right in the middle of the Kona Cotton "lead" in a random fashion. Wish me luck. :).
Oooo sounds like a fun project! Good luck! You’re going to do great! And I hope you have a wonderful family reunion! 👏🏻💖
Love your videos. Found you this weekend and started watching as many as I can. Always love learning new ways of doing things. Thank you
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos, Carolyn! Thank you so much for watching 💖💖
Thank you so much for the tutorial I’ve never done this kind of quilting before. But I’ve always wanted to do it just never knew how I really appreciate this lesson I’m excited about my next quilt because this is the way I’m going to quilt it and now I know how to do it thank you so much❣️🧵✂️🪡💗💕💖💓❤️
You are so welcome! You can do it!!! 👏🏻👏🏻💖
I assume you had spray basted your quilt? I didn’t see any pins, but thought I’d ask
I actually glue baste using Elmers School Glue! It's a lot cheaper than spray baste and its non-toxic.
I found this very helpful. I purchased my hera marker Elmers Washable School Glue and I intend to try it. My goal is to quilt more and send quilts to a longarm quilter less. Thanks for showing the entire process. I noticed you did not use quilters gloves. Have you ever tried them?
Yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful! It's a lot of fun quilting your own quilts! And yes, I have tried quilters glove, and they do help. I just personally don't like wearing them very often! haha! But they do give your fingers a better grip. It wouldn't hurt to try them out!
I'm wondering the same thing someone else said, where's the bar that comes with the walking foot to set off a distance?
My walking foot didn’t come with one! 😂🥴
Panels? They intimidate me. Love the quilt. I’m a scrappy quilter. Love the backing fabric. Have it in many colors.
Ooo yeah panels can be tricky! I should do a video on some past quilts I’ve made with them. Thank you for the suggestion! 💖
Love your marking method and adore your kitties! I must find one of those marking tools.
Thank you! 💖 and yes! You should try it! It’s so nice!
Hi, I’m watching your video on straight line Quilting. My question is would it be easy for a beginner to not use the ruler or the stick and just lineup your stitching from corner to corner of the blocks. Basically free handing free stitching. Thank you for your videos
Oh yeah, you definitely could do that! Just take it slow at first so the stitches don't "get away from you." 💖
What a comprehensive video on straight-line machine quilting! I have been quilting since the late 1970s, (I was a teenager at the time) and still primarily hand quilt my projects, but this video is inspiring me to give machine quilting another go. I was looking at your stitches to try to figure out what you set for your stitch length. Was your machine set at a 3.5 or 4.0?
Oh, and btw, I love the jazz. It reminds me of the music used in “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.
Thank you for sharing such great content. And all the best with the debut of your new quilt pattern!
Hello! I always straight line quilt with my stitch length set at “3”. 💖 and yes! I’m a fan of jazz so I like to throw some into the videos! Thank you do much for the well wishes 💖
When you started your stitches after your bobbin ran out do you pull the bobbin thread up to the top before continuing? I have a problem with getting a bird’s nest on the back of the quilt whenever I start in the quilt top. Any tips greatly appreciated.
You have a very welcoming channel, thanks for your tutorials and your encouragement to as questions.
First off, thank you so much! I’m so glad you’ve found my channel welcome and helpful! That’s the goal! 💖 so to answer your question, you certainly can pull that bobbin thread up, I usually don’t. If I do get that little “birds nest”, I just undo the little nest and trim the excess thread. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching and good luck! 💖
Great tutorial. That is a big quilt for quilting on a domestic machine. I am interested in finding out how you do that.
Great video ! I encourage you to try quilting gloves ... they are a game changer for me when quilting and machine sewing my binding
Thank you! I’ve tried gloves before. I personally don’t like wearing them, though they can help with FMQ. 💖
This is beautiful!! I’m excited for the pattern ♥️. Question- do you have a tutorial on how you sandwich your quilt layers prior to quilting?
Thank you so much! And yes I do! You can check out my glue basting video here:

Just found your channel. Love how you have developed your process. At the beginning of this video, I am interested in the marking tool you are using. I kept hearing "hero" marker LoL 😆
So, that is what I searched... still came right up on top in the results. 😮oh... that says HERA marker. 🤦♀️
HA! Yes, it's the "Hera" marker! It works so well to mark lines for quilting, it's all I use now! Thanks so much for watching!
I believe this quilting is easier because you have a juki TL sewing machine. Which has a higher throat space, then most home sewing machines. I know my
juki HZL LB5100 that I have does not have quite the throat space that you have on this machine. And I struggle trying to do even twin size quilts. Because of less throat space on my machine. Than the one you have, but I'm likeing your quilting method used.
It may take a little practice, but I feel confident you can do just as good a job with your machine! You can do it!!!
I am straight-line quilting a large lap quilt now, using masking tape. Gonna buy a hera marker, it looks easier! Also, what stitch length do you choose for straight-line quilting?
I used to use painter's tape when I did straight-line quilting and let me tell you! The Hera marker saves SO much time and my lines look way better! haha! I hope you like it! And I use a stitch length of "3". Thanks for watching!
Haven't tried it yet but this scenario just came to mind. If one of your straight lines didn't match up exactly with the center of the white blocks what would you have done? For example, the piecing was a little off and therefore would you have sewn the line a little off so that the line still went down the center of the white block. Otherwise the line would be perfectly straight but the error would be more noticeable
I would probably try to find a happy medium between the two options. I'm of the opinion that you are the only one who is going to notice your mistakes. The person you are gifting the quilt to won't notice if one of the lines is slightly off. I hope that helps!
Thanks!
Thank YOU, Wendy! I so appreciate this! 💖
Just discovered your channel and I've been binge watching all of them today. Love your perspective and knowledge. Do you school glue your binding and will you be doing a video of the process. Happy stitches to you 😊
Hello! Thank you so much! I actually haven’t tried gluing the binding! I should; and definitely make a video about it! Happy stitches right back at you! 💖
Just found your video today. Loved the tutorial and found the information very informative. My question is what stitch length do you use for straight line quilting on your domestic sewing machine? I will certainly be looking for more videos as you do them.
Hello and thank you so much for watching! I always use a stitch length of “3” for straight line quilting. 👍🏻💖
I was wondering why you don’t just use the quilting guide you can attach to the quilting foot. Is there an advantage to marking as opposed to the guide set to the right amount of space between lines?
Well, I have a few reasons why! First, I don’t have the guide that works with my walking foot 😂 it’s sold separately and I’ve just never ordered it. Second reason: It allows me to see what the lines will look like before stitching, and if I decide I want a different distance between my lines, I can make that change before doing any stitches. And thirdly, I just plain enjoy the process lol
@@StitchObsessed Yeah those are good reasons. I just might have to try it.😎
@@livinthedream4479 its fun! 🤩
I’ve been hesitant to crosshatch because I was scared I’d get those little “pinches” of fabric where the seams meet while quilting the second set of lines. Any tips for avoiding that?
The key to avoid those pinches or puckers, I have found, is in the basting process. Glue basting can ensure that your quilt top and backing are laying completely flat on the batting. Also, when you are quilting, make sure you aren’t pulling or stretching the fabric at all.
I hope that helps!
@@StitchObsessedthanks for the reply--I have never tried glue basting🌷😊
@@aprilroberts7131 no problem! I actually did an in depth tutorial on glue basting! Here is the link if you’re interested: Glue Basting 101: How to Use School Glue to Baste a Quilt of ANY Size
ruclips.net/video/9BrbztHwh-A/видео.html
Great tutorial! I also love straight-line quilting, however, when going in the opposite direction (across previous stitching) I sometimes get puckers or the fabric has shifted. Any suggestions how to avoid this? Would love to hear your comments.
Thank you.
Hi, Liz! So, I found the best way to avoid those annoying puckers you need to press your quilt top and backing so they lay as flat as possible. Then when basting, making everything again, is perfectly flat. I really like to use glue basting because that holds the layers of quilt together very well. Also, when quilting, make sure you don’t pull or stretch the fabric at all. Your feed dogs should be doing all the work. I also recommend using a walking foot if you are quilting a larger quilt.
I hope all this helps! Let me know if you have other questions! 💖
I am starting my first quilting this weekend. One question: Do you ‘stitch in the ditch’ the blocks first?
No, you don't have to stitch in the ditch if you're planning on doing straight line quilting like I show in this video. Good luck on your quilting! You're going to do great!!!
@@StitchObsessed thank you!
I might have missed it but what stitch length do you use when you do straight line quilting?
I like to use a stitch length “3” for my straight line quilting 🤓
Could you put a guide on walking foot?
Yep! You sure can!
I did all this and stitched a few lines only to discover the back fabric bunched and puckered. I got frustrated. How can I remedy this?
My first quilt I did spray with adhesive do I still pin
No you shouldn’t have to pin baste if you used a spray baste! Unless you didn’t use the spray for all 3 layers?
