Oh my goodness, you are an amazing teacher! I feel like I can actually do this after watching your video! I can't wait to start practicing! :) Thank you so much!
Of all the FMQ videos I’ve watched (gobs), you are the first to mention the reason for setting the stitch length to 0, and informing the relationship to the feed dogs! Oh my goodness, THANK YOU!!! I’m dashing off to try this!!
Leah, I realize this video has been posted for a while, but I have to say how much you have helped me to try FMQ! The feed dogs on my machine will not drop. I was days away from purchasing a new machine for FMQ until I watched your video series on dropping or not dropping feed dogs last night. I just tried it on my machine, and there is hope for me and FMQ with my precious Baby Lock Presto II. I have much practice ahead of me, but I will relish every moment! Thank you!!!! You saved me hundreds of dollars and gave me an opportunity to learn FMQ!!!!
Definitely give it a try Nelly! It's fun to explore different hobbies, but the real joy comes when the fabric is in your hands and stitches made by your fingers!
Hi Leah. I wonder how many people know of your much earlier quilting tutorials? I watched them from the very beginning a number of years ago and I can honestly say that watching them is what led me to learn how to FMQ and continues to this day.
Judging from the views and clicks, I'd say many people know me from the first 365 designs. I'm so happy to hear that helped you get started free motion quilting!
Hi Leah. I found you in my e-mail VIA Fave Quilts. Thank-goodness! I am getting ready to dive into free-motion quilting for the first time at 70 years old. I went to your site and watched this video where it said "Start Here" ... You may be young, but you know what you are doing and you know how to teach others how to do it ... step-by-step and the with the assurances ... perfection is not necessary and getting better takes time and practice. I have never heard of the Supreme Slider or a bobbin washer, even tho I have been sewing since I was 10 ... guess you are never to old to learn something new. Daddy always taught us ... 'If you learn at least one new thing each day, no matter how small, then your day has not been wasted.' It' is still morning and today has not been wasted. Thank-you for sharing your time and talent. I am looking forward to many more of your videos. God bless you and yours.
OMG thank you Leah. I was getting so cranky with my (new) machine. No matter what I did to the tension, how fast or slow I moved my hands or ran the machine the underside was eyebrowing...UNTIL I raised the feed dogs 😀. My other machine was fine for FMQ with the feed dogs dropped. I'm happy dancing here 💃
I love the way that you speak to the novice quilter! Many tutorials are delivered in a quick "I know you know how to do this," method but lots of us don't know some of the things that veteran quilters take for granted. Thank you Leah for speaking to those of us who are just starting out. Also, thank you for the practice ideas. I'll be making lots of practice quilt sandwiches (I think I'll buy some remnant fabric and use my scraps) and practicing a little each day. As a novice quilter I wouldn't have thought to invest in some practice materials to refine my quilting techniques...I think I can even practice other types of quilting too, not just free motion. I can imagine practicing quilting with stencils etc. Also, also...(lol), thank you for the tip about marking out the pattern before quilting. What a great way to also practice the stippling pattern "rhythm" without committing to actually sewing it into the fabric. Thank you ... thank you!
I was finding quilting daunting as a beginner. Then I came across your tutorials. WOW, amazing. You go slowly and accurately for any beginner to understand. I’m now off to start my first quilt for my granddaughter (after doing some sample practices). Thank you for sharing your expertise 🥰
What a great video! I love all the detail! I'm a garment sewist and just wanting to make some quilts for Christmas gifts and this is the first video I've found on free motion stippling. I'm so excited to try it!
Hello Leah! I have been interested in free motion quilting for a while and have watched other videos, but yours has been the best! Your explanations were easy to understand and I liked how you spoke as you actually did the quilting so I could "see" what you were talking about. Thank you also for the suggestion for additional tools. It's hard for me at age 70 to learn new things, but I think now I can do this. Thank you. I will be eager to watch future videos.
Hi Leah, I am so fortunate to have found your video. You are a wonderful teacher. I am getting back into sewing and really to quilt my pieces! First time seeing you and I now am a subscriber! Thank you!
Hello Leah i am french and with you i learn my free motion like a pro hihihi Thank you so much you made a nice tuto ,you are a nice teaher you speak slowly perfect for me TANK YOU so much
I have been practicing the FMQ for quite a while now it has taken me so long. But I finally learned my biggest problem was mastering the foot pedal. Noe that i can regulate my speed the FMQ has gotten easier. So I decided to try it out on a real piece and I did a table topper 28 x 28. And it came out very well. I am very pleased with the way it looks. No more stitching in the ditch for me. I have watched this video so many times. Thank you so much Leah, I couldn't have done it without your videos. Your voice is so calming and your patience in the videos make me feel like I know you now. Take care and keep the videos coming. Corey
Aw! Thank you so much Corey! I'm so happy I was able to help you master this tricky part of quilting. It is a challenge, but the more you do it, the better and easier it gets.
Hello Leah. You are a wonderful teacher. I am a 73 year old great-grandmother that dabbles at quilting. I do want to try free-motion quilting. You have made a great tutorial and explain things so thoroughly. Thank you.
I came across this video 3 years after it's debut! I've just started 'quilt as you go' machine patchwork and have been wanting to branch into free motion quilting also. This video is the best, most honest and helpful instruction on how to get started. Thank you Leah, you've given us the means to 'have a go' without the intimidating question of 'How on earth do I go about this?' A well presented, well spoken and informative teaching video.
Hi...i. Enjoyed your video...you mentioned a few things i did not know, and appreciate it so much...it’s going to make things a little easier for me... I’ve been sewing my whole life but haven’t tried quilting till now. I started a quilt a few years ago but didnt finish it because i was unsure of what to do...my instructions i had were vague...i now feel confident i can do this...thanks so much.
That's so helpful, Leah. I've been resisting taking my scissors to my slider, and am so glad I didn't. I just couldn't slice up a perfectly intact expensive slider before getting experienced advice! Thanks for your time and enjoy your new kitty!
I so appreciate your detailed tutorial! Thank you for sharing all that you know with your Beginning Free Motion class. I'm so impressed AND now I'm so enthused to get started. Yay!
I'm so happy to hear this Valerie! There is a learning curve, but please stick with it. You have to get through the ugly stitches before you can find the good looking stitches!
Love your suggestion of rinsing your slippery mat. Mine is covered in lint by now and I didn't know how to clean it without ruining it. As always, thank you SO MUCH for your phenomenal tutorials. Though I've been FMQing for a couple of years now, I've learned most of what I can do from you and I find that going back to watch basic FMQ videos reminds me of some of the mistakes I make along the way. Blessings to you!
Thank you for this video and your kind and encouraging words. I am new to FMQ and find it and my progress a bit frustrating. Your words to be kind to myself were quite helpful to again take it slow and easy. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for your video! I became extremely frustrating while free motion quilting with my Bernina Aurora 440QE. I wasn't sure I could do free motion quilting on my Bernina 1230, however after watching your video and giving it a try, I got great results! Also, LOVE your idea of a bobbin washer to help ensure bobbin thread doesn't break. Keep up the good work, Leah!
Leah, very nice job with your explanations..😉 I'm interested in learning quilting, in particular small blocks, maybe pillow cases, throws. Listening to as many videos as I can find is helping me choose who I can understand better. Thanks for the good instruction...👍
Thank you, Leah! You are a great teacher! I will definitely try the tools you suggested. Thanks also for the tips to make stippling and free-motion quilting less rigid looking.
I really appreciate your videos! I am a beginner and I don’t have the best sewing machine ( even tho I love my machine lol) your instructions are so easy to follow even without a professional machine, thank you so much !
Clear and concise. I have the Bernina 1230 shown. It’s over 20 years old, and I wont let it go, even though I have a computerized machine. It keeps going like the Energizer Bunny.
Oh my gosh, this tutorial was perfect for me - very clear and easy to see exactly what you were doing and the reasons for how you move - thank you so much!
Great video, it makes the idea of free motion quilting and stippling way less intimidating! I've been doing basic stitch-in-the-ditch straight lines on all my quilts but now I feel I can try this! Thanks!
Thanks for this simple tutorial. When the Dutch lockd own is over I will get some padded fabric and get started on quilting myself. I want to use it as addition to my corsetry to make them more beautiful.
I'm so glad you like my classes on Craftsy! I now share workshops on my website instead and you can see what's available right here: leahday.com/collections/workshops Craftsy was a great experience, but unfortunately the company has changed drastically in recent years and I won't be working with them again. I love teaching online and plan to share many more classes and workshops through my website so please check back often for new classes to be added!
I am interesting in starting quilting, and I have never even used a sewing machine, but I have purchased all the supplies. I have been watching tutorials for about a week, and I just found your videos, which I have found to be the MOST helpful for someone who is just starting out. No other video had broke it down this simple, or mentioned a lot of the things you have mentioned. This is the first that I heard someone say that the faster you move the fabric, the larger the stitch will be. That is most likely common knowledge for people who are familiar with sewing machines, but not a complete novice. So glad I found your channel!!
Wonderful Kim! Welcome to the amazing world of quilting! I'm so happy this video helped you. Please let me know if there are more videos you're needing on your quilting journey!
Hello Leah. I’m a new Subscriber. I love the way you explain how to do a free motion quilting, I have been wanting to try this. I feel like I can actually do this after watching your video! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your video. The tips you gave will help me so much in free motion quilting. I have never heard of the supreme slider or the bobbin washer. Next on my list to pick up. Happy Quilting.
Thank you so very much for all tips! I'm making a baby quilt for a gift, but so anxious about stippling the blocks. The pattern calls for it and looks lovely. I've been practicing on thin drawing paper without thread. I know it will be fine but just can't start on the actual quilt. I keep practicing on practice sandwiches & thread. I need to just do it!😱 I'll keep your video handy as I sew😍💕
I'm new to quilting and interested in learning all forms of quilting art. Your instruction of free motion is the best I've heard. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thank you Leah ! You are a good teacher !
You instructions gave me the confidence to try a small mini quilt and use your method. I am proud of the results!
Wonderful!
Leah Day is one of the best quilting teachers I have ever seen. Very impressive! I'm a fan.
Thank you so much Deborah!
"I think I can, I know I can." 😂😊❤ Thank you!
Yes, you can!
Oh my goodness, you are an amazing teacher! I feel like I can actually do this after watching your video! I can't wait to start practicing! :) Thank you so much!
I loved this tutorial. You covered a lot of needed information for a beginner. Just what I needed.
This is one of the best free motion quilting tutorial I have seen
Thank you!
Very clear instructions...... never tried this but now know that I will give it a try.
Great! Let me know how it goes!
I've been avoiding FMQ out of fear. This is just what I needed. Such a great tutorial!
Thank you so much! You made my day!
Best intro that I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you Leah...I love your calming voice and your instructions...:)
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that as I know free motion quilting can be stressful to learn!
Thank you for explaining free motion quilting so well.
Great video for beginners! Super helpful for someone just starting out and getting panicked!
Wow. What a wonderful teacher you are !! thank you so very much xxx
What a great teacher. Thank you. I'm not QUITE as intimidated!
Of all the FMQ videos I’ve watched (gobs), you are the first to mention the reason for setting the stitch length to 0, and informing the relationship to the feed dogs! Oh my goodness, THANK YOU!!! I’m dashing off to try this!!
I'm a beginner and you gave me the tools I needed to do free motion quilting, I've watched a few others but you have the clearest instructions of all.
Thank you so much! This comment really made my day!
Leah, I realize this video has been posted for a while, but I have to say how much you have helped me to try FMQ! The feed dogs on my machine will not drop.

Thank you so much you have given me the confidence to free motion.
You are so welcome!
Hi. I have never before quilted, but I am listening and watching what experts like you do so that I can practice and one day create my own quilt, ✂️📐📏
Definitely give it a try Nelly! It's fun to explore different hobbies, but the real joy comes when the fabric is in your hands and stitches made by your fingers!
I just got a new machine with a fm foot.......I just learned so much from your video, thank you so much!!!
Excellent! I hope it works great!

Wonderful! I'm so happy you found my blog and tutorials. You're in the right place if you're ready to learn how to machine quilt!
OMG thank you Leah. I was getting so cranky with my (new) machine.

You're super welcome! Yes, definitely practice off the quilt and definitely mark too. It makes a huge difference!
I was finding quilting daunting as a beginner. Then I came across your tutorials. WOW, amazing. You go slowly and accurately for any beginner to understand. I’m now off to start my first quilt for my granddaughter (after doing some sample practices). Thank you for sharing your expertise 🥰
Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and found it helpful for your quilting ability. Good luck on your first quilt!
Leah you are a great teacher. A am new at this so I am going to try it. Thank you.
Wonderful! I'm so happy to hear this!
I’m back for a refresh! Thank you for these videos! Much appreciated!
Welcome back! Thank you for watching!

What a great video! I love all the detail! I'm a garment sewist and just wanting to make some quilts for Christmas gifts and this is the first video I've found on free motion stippling. I'm so excited to try it!
Definitely give it a go! Free motion quilting is super addictive, and such a wonderful skill to build.
You are truly a gifted teacher. Thank you for sharing. I love the idea for practicing with a square everyday.
That's great! If you quilt a square a day you will see a dramatic improvement in your skills very quickly.

Oh yes! I wouldn't get very far if everything needed to be perfect. And how boring would that be?!
Leah Day 2
A brand new quilter is now itching to make some practice squares to quilt! Thank you x

Excellent! I'm so happy to help!
Question...the quilting foot you are using here does not "hop" like I've seen in other videos. Does it matter?
Leah, you were amazing! You took my fear away! I'm ready to go after it. Thank you!

Whew! I'm glad I replied in time! Yes, I agree, if your slider gets damaged in some way then it would be time to experiment with it.
Wonderful teachers and video thanks

Thank you, Leah. This was very informative and helpful. I’m jumping in! 😁
Oh my gosh, this tutorial was perfect for me - very clear and easy to see exactly what you were doing and the reasons for how you move - thank you so much!
Wonderful! I'm so glad this video helped you!
Going to try! Good instructions 😊
Thank you so much for the great video. Finally a video that explains on how to get started with stippling. Thumbs up.
Wonderful! I'm so happy to help!
Best beginning tutorial I’ve watched, thank you so much!
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you found this helpful!
Nice TUT Leah! THANK YOU! You make it look so easy!!
I'm so glad you found this helpful!
Great video, it makes the idea of free motion quilting and stippling way less intimidating! I've been doing basic stitch-in-the-ditch straight lines on all my quilts but now I feel I can try this! Thanks!
Awesome! That is exactly the reason why I make these videos. You made my day!
Thanks for this simple tutorial. When the Dutch lockd own is over I will get some padded fabric and get started on quilting myself. I want to use it as addition to my corsetry to make them more beautiful.
That will be gorgeous! And quilting is a traditional technique for many corded corsets.
Fantastic tutorial,thank you
You are welcome!
Leah is my favorite teacher on Craftsy and RUclips. Wish she had more on Craftsy..*HINT*..lol
I'm so glad you like my classes on Craftsy! I now share workshops on my website instead and you can see what's available right here: leahday.com/collections/workshops
Craftsy was a great experience, but unfortunately the company has changed drastically in recent years and I won't be working with them again. I love teaching online and plan to share many more classes and workshops through my website so please check back often for new classes to be added!
Thank you! This is the tutorial I have been looking for. As a beginner, I really appreciate the way you explained the movements.
That's great Anney! I'm so happy to hear that!

Yes Lea this is a great Vedic. Recently I started doing free motion quilting. This is very helpful. Keep posting new ideas pl. thank you again
Thank you for watching! Yes, I have over 1000 videos here so you have a lot to help you on this channel!
Very helpful for me. Nervous to try but I know it'll take practice. Thank you.
Give it a try! It's just fabric and thread after all.
Hello Leah. I’m a new Subscriber. I love the way you explain how to do a free motion quilting, I have been wanting to try this. I feel like I can actually do this after watching your video! Thank you so much.

You are a talented teacher Leah.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
