Thank you so much, easy simple but beautiful design, I have been watching so many beginner free motion quilting videos and have not seen this, almost looks like a feather as an overall design, which I love feathers but they are tough for beginners, I know what's going on my next quilt now, thanks again!
Dear Jess, Your quilting is just what I've been looking for. Just finished a quilt making swirls, my second swirls. Your quilting is just what I wanted! Keep those videos coming
I love this. As a brand new quilter, I have been looking for something easy I can do on a quilt I'm making for my mother. This looks easy enough to do. I was just going to do lines with my walking foot because the only free motion design I've tried so far is the figure 8, which I'm doing pretty well, but, I have difficulty making a nice loop whenever I need to stop to move the quilt. I'm practicing on some muslin and the cheapest batting I could find. I think I can handle this pattern without getting freaked out in the middle of it. Thank you so much for sharing this great idea.
Thank you so much Jess, you have made this not so intimidating. I have been stressing over free motion quilting and have only used my walking foot and done either stitch in the ditch or straight lines. now that I can see what happens when you get yourself a little boxed in and what you did to get out, it was like a light bulb going off!!! thank you thank you thank you!!!
I enjoyed this video on FMQ. Lots of great tips, so I've subscribed! I've been so scared to try this, especially getting consistent-looking stitches but now I'll have another go at it. PLEASE tell me which sewing machine you're using in this vid? That quilting foot looks awesome (w/red light?) - so easy to see where the needle's going. You mentioned stitch in ditch quilting to secure quilt layers (which means no pins to get in the way...that's another fear). Could you PLEASE do a video showing this 'no-pin' method. Where do you start doing SITD on each quilt? I think a vid on this would most helpful to many of us domestic machine quilters! Pretty please, with sugar on top...:)
Thank you for the great tutorial. Very well done and si encouraging. Please rell me about the quilting foot you are using and where it can be purchased. Thanks!
Nice video, thank you! I was wondering about your stitch in the ditch. Is this basting, and if so, will it be difficult for you to get it out? (The stitches seems very close together)
I love you video. Question....I see a straight line in the quilt block...was that intended to help stabilize the fabric for free motion quilting or just part of the design?
Kathy and Thomas Thank you! Yes, the straight lines are ditch quilting in the seams. I don't always do this, but it certainly helped fir the purpose of these videos, not having to stop and remove pins so often.
Andrea Grimes I almost always start in the centre, even though it's the hardest part. It means you can smooth out any bumps in the backing as you go - plus it gets progressively easier as you work around the quilt.
Great tutorial Jess. looks like you have your quilt machine basted. Did you do that on your domestic machine or did you have a long arm quilter do that for you? If you did it was it difficult. I hand baste mine because of cost but would love to know how to machine baste them. Thanks in advance. Sarah
I pin basted, and then I ditch stitched with my walking foot using a long stitch. Ditch stitching worked really well because it meant most of the pins were out of the way for FMQ :)

Mary Donovan oh that's great, thanks for the feedback! I'm hoping to get back to doing more of these in the not too distant future!
thank you for this- it will be very helpful to me, a beginner, with lots of "free motion anxiety"
Thank you for the great tutorial. I like that foot. It is great to see it being done to get the idea. We can see perfectly what you are doing.
Thanks for posting this video. You made this look so easy and I think I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
Not a problem Susan! Thanks for your lovely feedback.
Thank you for sharing your first video. Your quilting is amazing and it is good to see the technique close up.
Thanks so much Catherine! I'm glad you enjoyed the video - there will be many more to come I hope!
Thank you so much for your tutorial.

Bees I'm so glad it's given you confidence! This is definitely one of the best beginner friendly designs, I hope you've found it fun to do 😀

Thanks for a great tutorial X

Beautiful. Do you have a stitch regulator on your machine? I love this pattern.
Thank you for the great tutorial. Very well done and si encouraging. Please rell me about the quilting foot you are using and where it can be purchased. Thanks!
The quilting foot I use is called a Bernina Stitch Regulator or BSR, and it's Bernina specific. Your local Bernina dealer should stock them :)
It's called an echo foot and i had bought mine from Sewing Machines Plus out of San Marcos,CA
Nice video, thank you! I was wondering about your stitch in the ditch. Is this basting, and if so, will it be difficult for you to get it out? (The stitches seems very close together)
I have never used the clear circular foot, what is the advantage of it, rather then the open toed darning foot?
You make it look so easy hehehe! Hope more to come as I am useless at it at the moment. Love your foot, is that for a Pfaff?

What is the foot called that your using please
I would like to try this on a big quilt. Where should I begin stitching on a big quilt?
Andrea Grimes I almost always start in the centre, even though it's the hardest part. It means you can smooth out any bumps in the backing as you go - plus it gets progressively easier as you work around the quilt.
