Been binge watching videos for quilting. Have never made one nor haven't really sewn much. Starting off with a 9 patch after watching your videos (seems the easiest lol). Most videos use all these special rulers but appreciate that you don't do that and explain what you are doing .Love your channel so subscribed. Can't wait to see what I can make. May turn into a mess but enjoying trying.
Another good video. Just a tip, before I start quilting, I take a scrap piece of fabric and lay it down on the edge over the batting and run a line of stitching. That way it is easier to see the back tension before I start.
I have a love hate with “bobbin chicken” I hate it when I lose😂. Straight line quilting is so modern and I think on that giant, modern, star quilt it’s the perfect pattern.
We do not have a long arm quilting machine . We just roll up our quilt and use our sewing machine. It costs too much to take quilt to material store and have them quilt it. Glad you have yours. God bless.
I so appreciate you showimg how to load the quilting machine. Im hoping to be able to "build" a quilting machine. I need to know how it works. I have done one quit free motion. You can mend that flannel piece in no problem.
I like your cardinal quilt. Cardinals are so beautiful and then you got that beautiful background on your quilt. It was interesting watching you, Quilt it.❤
Just a tip. Once you baste your quilt along the top, if you drag a yardstick down the quilt towards the belly bar then clamp, it helps with the fullness.
April I also have a Qnique 16x that I love. My first long, mid arm machine. However it doesn’t like going from right to left. Is there any tips you have? I’m using the needle’s and thread recommended for my machine.
A lot of machines don’t. I am using finesse thread and my machine loves that thread. The stitch isn’t as perfect going right to left as it is left to right. You just have to play around with the settings and thread to see under what conditions it performs best. 😀
I have to get this comment in before I get any further along in your video. My husband says the same thing about never admitting when I'm wrong. Not true. It must be a man thing. Okay, back to the video.
@@aprilscraftroom Hi April, that’s so sweet of you, I am a HUGE fan! After watching it again, I realised you didn’t confuse me - I just didn’t get it the first time. From now on, I will only watch AFTER I have taken my meds 🥴 Please keep up the great work, I love your channel xxx

You can do it! I’m so excited you’re watching my channel ❤️
I am a big proponent of the “sidekick” for rolling bobbins without unthreading your sewing machine.. I love it. Just a thought.
Wow April, it looks great, love the panel
Beautiful.
Thank you!
Beautiful quilt.
Thank you! 😊
Love Cardinals! Quilt turned out great! Thank you for showing how to use the Long arm, very nice!💕
Beautiful!!
I really enjoyed this video- you showed that not all things go as we want it to- beautiful quilt please do some more
Thank you for such a detailed video. You did a great job on all aspects.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much Di
😍
I have a small bobbin winder that i love. So much easier to use. I also have a bobbin case (from handiquilter) and i keep the full bobbins in there.
That's a great idea!
April, another great video. I love how detailed your instructions are. Such a pretty quilt.
Thank you so much!
So pretty

Thank you. When I am machine quilting, I always wind 6 to 12 bobbins before I start the quilting. I usually have to wind more bobbins later.
Great tip!
Lovely quilt, thanks for sharing. ❤👍from Somerset UK
Thank you! 😊

Love this quilt great job. I always use a striped binding cut on the bias as it shows character.
Just a tip. Once you baste your quilt along the top, if you drag a yardstick down the quilt towards the belly bar then clamp, it helps with the fullness.
Awesome tip! Thank you!!!!
I saw that huge star dine with j Wecker Frisch fabric, looked like a cool idea, love it.
I love it!

Are there instructions for the quilt top?
I've seen that material print on a shower curtain hun. In Canada. Dollar store or giant tiger stores.
Is there a pattern for your quilt top.
April, if you are doing straight line quilting is there a reason why you can’t go back and forth versus always start at the same end each time?
April I just bought a Rebel, can you tell me what frame you have and will it go up to king size? Love all your videos🥰
❤❤❤
I always forget to wind more bobbins
I check my bobbin after so many stitches at the end of my rows. I hate picking out stitches on the frame 😢
❤
Thanks Caren ❤️
Did you have a video for this quilt top?
I have to get this comment in before I get any further along in your video. My husband says the same thing about never admitting when I'm wrong. Not true. It must be a man thing. Okay, back to the video.
lol. I love this!!!
Why don't you baste first?
You confused me today April 😢😢😢😢😢
Hi Daisy
What part confused you-- maybe I can help better explain it
