    For me, there is no question on "preference" for quilting. I will do it myself, on a domestic machine, because I would not be able to afford to do it any other way. My great grandmother did the quilting by hand....and she made a LOT of quilts. No whining allowed from me when I have so much more at my disposal than she ever did.

      My grandmother, g-gma, great aunts etc did hand cutting, piecing, quilting, and sewing. My grandfather made a quilting frame that I remember having saw horses on each end. It was a family affair. I remember MomMom teaching me a little bit of each and explaining different processes😊. Fond memories.. No treasured... memories 🤍
      Later in life she did use the sewing machine some-why not?
      I would love to be part of a quilting bee.

  • @cynthiamwilson9782

    This video is so encouraging. I have the Juki machine I use for straight-line sewing. I am very intimidated by free-motion quilting. I cannot afford to send my quilts out for long arm quilting. I have always quilted with curved pins and straight lines on my Singer Confidence Quilter machine. I am definitely going to give this a try on my Juki...gloves and all. Thank you for an amazingly encouraging video. I will likely be referring back to it. Right now, I am going to check out your binding video. I have always wrapped the backing around, folded it over, and sewed it down for the binding.

    When I put the 'sandwich' together, I strip my spare queen bed down to the silky top mattress. That is what I use to lay it out and I use HUGE safety pins every 5-6". This works for me and I'm able to pin easily and I don't like the spray. But whatever works for you. I enjoy your videos.

    @renatal1972 6 дней назад +4

    Quick tip. If you start at center of quilt and work in a quadrant, then go back to center, do next quadrant, then repeat for the other two quadrants. So don’t have to struggle with the quilt as much and you never have a lot of bulk under the machine.

    I’ve only ever quilted my own. i really can’t afford to have someone else do it for me. Also, i really want to do it, though I’m not good at it yet. I’ll keep practicing. 😄 What i have found is that the beginner quilting that is so obvious on the newly finished quilt, turns into a beautiful crinkly quilt once washed. I’m telling you, that crinkliness makes “mistakes” disappear! 😍👏🏼

      Anything yiu can do to support the weight of your quilt will help. J keep most of it on the table and I open the drawers next to me to support anything hanging to the left. But mostly I hold it up off my lap. I've seen contraptions to hold the weight even above the label, but I've never used one. You might ask at your local quilt shop.

    How did you know that the bobbin tension was too tight? How could you tell? And do you like your Juki?

      I love my Juki! It just felt off. Sorry I know that doesnt help a ton, I had the thread break and it just felt like the bobbin was unwinding to slowly. I did a video on this machine recently ruclips.net/video/ZcFxfMujxdg/видео.htmlsi=j8ZWeO-YLkDnsFRF

    I have been watching your videos and you do such a great job. I haven’t been able to find a white cutting mat, where did you get yours? I have macular degenerative eye disease and it is hard to see to cut on colored mates.

    Loved watching this tutorial. I’m fairly new to quilt. One question please, do I need a special foot for free motion quilting, I can only do a sort of Stitch In The Ditch now but I would like to try free motion.

      I stick with my 80/12 for most things. If Im doing a lot of paper piecing then Ill swap to a 90/14. Hope that helps!

    What type of batting are you using?

    • @pickinstitches
      @pickinstitches  Месяц назад

      I primarily use two kinds.
      tinyurl.com/PickinStichesCottonBatting
      or
      tinyurl.com/PickinStitches8020
      I almost always by a roll. So much more cost effective if you are doing a lot of quilting.

    What stitch length did you use?

    • @pickinstitches
      @pickinstitches  Месяц назад +1

      When the feed dogs are dropped your hands are driving the speed of the movement and the length of the stitch. Ive heard of people dropping the length to 0 but your dogs shouldn't be moving unless your machine doesn't really have a free-motion function. So drop to zero cant hurt, but mine was at 2.5 for this whole video but the feed dogs were down. Hope that helps!
