    I wish I had seen this years ago!! I always thought it was wrong somehow to do all that basting, and that if you went slowly and took your time, you were not a "good" quilter. Some online quilting videos seem to be all about the speed. So thank you, thank you for this great video!

    Thank you for this fabulous video. I'm a new longarmer and working with my first 108" back. It is a slippery quilting cotton that as I roll pulls toward the center and won't stay put when I push/roll to the sides. It's resulting in a vertical tension wave (perpendicular to the take-up pole) across the quilt. I can't wait to try the double dutch trick to see if I can't get this wave down to a ripple.

    You’d have to have a rather square backing to use this method. I’ve been longarm quilting for 5 years and quilting for 9. I can’t for the life of me achieve a square backing. I can free motion quilt quite nicely but it’s such a challenge for me to load my squared up but still wonky backings.
    This is a great loading method though for those who are more adept at squaring.
    Y’all are fun to watch. You have complimentary personalities. Your explanations are succinct and easy to follow. I’ve always struggles with droopy ends. I’ll have to use the double Dutch method. Thank you so much for sharing!

      Do you trim your backing to make it square? I usually square up my backing prior to loading it.

    What a great idea. I’ve started machine basting my quilts to the leaders. Easy to use a seam ripper when it’s done and I feel like the fabric pull is evenly distributed. The blue and tan remind me of the beach and sand. Maybe call it Sandy Shores. Beautiful quilt.

    You gals are seww much fun! And I learned sewww much. Ty! I actually bought a vintage Singer Touch and Sew 603e, which has a Chainstitch that you can just rip out in 1 swoop, when you are done. Total time saver. The 603e has the Steel Gears, not plastic. Just a really nice machine. Also, I chainstitch the Backing to a Zipper, since I have the other half of the Zipper on the Leader. That way, you can just zip on and off whenever you need to... and you don't have to remove the Leaders.

    I have a question once you remove the quilt top from the one leader. Can you remove that leader or the actual bar so it is no longer in the way when you are rolling your quilt back and forth to work on it?

    • @HandiQuilter
      @HandiQuilter  Год назад

      Yes, you can remove the leader. We don't recommend removing the bar as it helps keep the fabric level for better stitching. If you have a frame that can be adjusted between clear view and standard view, you can remove the top pole, move the backing pole into the other poles slot and drop the sides to go into clearview. I do this all the time and it is fabulous!

  • @kimandrews9734

    I just finished quilting a 102” x 90” quilt with my HQ Avante on my Little Foot frame. I think I spent more time moving the quilt around than I did actually quilting it.

    • @HandiQuilter
      @HandiQuilter  Год назад

  • @joettewarburton5328
    @joettewarburton5328 Год назад +1

    A quick question, please. Can you remove the bar that has the leader that you clipped the quilt top free of?

    • @HandiQuilter
      @HandiQuilter  Год назад

      YES!! When I get to the point where I am no longer attached to my top pole, I often change my sidearm positions so that I am in clearview, remove the top pole, and then put the backing pole into the correct spot for clearview. It makes it so nice to quilt when doing the more detailed stuff!!

  • @airmom8716

    Please answer. Why are you quikting with the cupped (couching=type?) foot vs the regular FMQ foot?

    • @HandiQuilter
      @HandiQuilter  Год назад

      The Glide Foot 2 is a great foot for quilting. It is used for a lot of all over type quilting. I usually have this foot on unless I am doing rulers or some sort of specialty type quilting which requires another foot.

    Please answer this. What is Standard View Loading vs Clear View Loading???? I have an Avante without the software, it is for FMQ and has stitch regulation only! Am I to load that in Standard View as you are here?

    • @HandiQuilter
      @HandiQuilter  Год назад

      If you have a Studio frame, you will only be able to load in standard. If you have a Studio 2 frame, you have the option to load in either standard of clear view. There are videos that show the difference.

      @HandiQuilter  Год назад

      I did a stitch in the ditch around each of the blocks. It was a design choice that I made. It is not required. I did basting as well to fill in the spaces where I didn't have stitch in the ditch.
