Great tip Becky on loading, I just loaded a 106” x110” quilt with red snappers today. Floated the quilt. Free motioned meandering a trip around the world quilt. Ty Jesus I had no wavey borders! Label added and Machine binding done and laundry and air dried and ready to give to my granddaughter tomorrow. So glad that beast is finished🪡🧵❤️
WOW! That's a true feat! Great job!
I don't have a longarm, but found the information interesting about how to get the backing straight on a big quilt. Thanks Becky!
Thanks for the loading a quilt back on a long arm video. Wish we had known this long ago. This works perfect, the last 5 quilts I have quilted the results were perfect. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! That's so great to hear it's working for you.
Thank you. I have never seen a backing loaded this way. Very helpful.
I cannot begin to thank you enough! Your video was so informative. I am loading my material for the first time on my long arm frame and I know it’s gonna come out perfect and I will have you to thank.
Very helpful video. As a new longarmer, I struggle with this. Can't wait to try your method. Thanks, Becky!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, you just saved me so much frustration with a backing that was NOT behaving!!!!
What an excellent video. I so agree about people who get hung up about straight of grain when the top will actually be firmly "encased" after quilting unlike the effect in dressmaking. A good demo too on the "twisting" /drag lines. I shall share this to my longarm group as we all get focused on keeping the edges straight instead of watching for drag.
Becky, You need to roll your backing the opposite way on the front bar. Great showing those Red Snappers, I love mine.
Yes, I didn't show that in the video, but I did roll it the other way before I began quilting. Thanks!
Very informative video. I'm a newbie to longarm sewing and I appreciate this "refresher" course. Thanks.
Thank you so much! Very helpful indeed
Thank you!!!! I’ve wasted so much time loading backs wrong! 😂
I have never seen this demo or anything like it before. I am ready to load a new quilt back and can’t wait to try this. I have been asking my friend “why” I keep getting tucks in the backing……perhaps this will be my. “Cure”. :-)
Great video, Becky.
Excellent video ty
Thanks Becky for any and all videos on the Grace Longarm. I just received my Grace Q’nique 21X Elite with a Contiuum II frame and QCT5 Beginnings. I am so excited but need more videos from you to help me. You’re a great teacher! I’m in the process of getting everything together and running.
Wonderful and congratulations! You will absolutely love your new baby! I'm doing ruler work for the blocks in the chickens and as soon as my clamp for the GoPro arrives next week, I'll show how I'm doing that. It is non-stop FUN and such a joy to see it all come together. When you're ready for some video instruction, email me at powertoolswiththread@outlook dot com and I'll point you toward some good videos. Enjoy!
this video was so helpful . i have a cutie hoop frame and I will use this method to keep my backing straight :) thank you !
I use Red Snappers on my back too but float my top. I just love the easy and quick load with snappers. Basically, for me this is the easiest way to keep the back and top straight. I am sure newbies will really appreciate this video. Thanks.
Thanks alot for your tutorial on your longarm always wanted to know how it was done
I just always love your videos. So many great tips and always a smile on your face. Thank you for everything you do.
very helpful!
Thank you so much for for showing me this!
Thank you, I always learn so much from you!
You have come so far! I am so proud to have watched your progress & learn from you. You really are stellar!
Thank you so much! Aren't you sweet!
You make it look so easy
I loved your tutorial. I have been a quilter for a few years now. I have a long arm machine also. I used your method for loading your backing on frame. I don’t have the red snappers I used pins instead and the backing went on nice and straight. I will use this method from now on. Thank you.Great instructor.
That's awesome! Glad it worked for you!
I am quick to turn off a video with too much blah blah blah. I watched this in its entirety. Thank you! I’m 83.67% self taught. This will help me with my quilting!
Glad it was helpful!
This was great information, Becky! I do struggle with my large quilts and getting the backing straight - not so much the smaller projects. I always thought the ends needed to be straight but this seems much easier (love the Easy button) and thank you!
Thank you for all great trips
Thank you so much for sharing I got the same long arm as and has problems in set it got good tips from you looking forwards to more videos just love watching yours all best Donna from canada
I've got one coming out soon on the set up. Be sure to call them if you need help. They have the BEST customer service and can walk you through things over the phone.
Thank you for sharing Becky
Good points on showing us how to keep the back straight can you PLEASE show us how you do the top so it is straight. thank You
Nice video, thank you. I do not get puckers in my backing, but rarely are the widebacks I get cut straight. I like this method and im going to implement it in my longarming.
Thank you for a great video. I am going to use your method!!
Thanks for this! You always give great tips for a variety of things!
Good info! I have lucked out so far but had wondered about the off grain of so many fabrics. This is also the info I needed if I put a center strip in the backing. Thanks!!
Thanks for the video. I am new to longarm quilting. I have been obsessing over the edges not matching (which they never do). I'm going to try this on my next quilt.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I used your tips and used my Red Snappers. I did two quilts this week and both were probably the straightest I have ever accomplished. My Red Snappers had to be dusted off since I felt they were harder to use than pinning. Wow my opinion has changed. Thanks again
Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that! Working with the grain of a backing vs. against it is a total game changer. :) Have fun!
I needed this! Thank you!
Could you a video of loading all the quilt layers? This video was awesome with great information, Thanks❤️
Sure! I'll video my next quilt load.
So interesting and informative. I am going to try this!
Great video. We rent our longarm machine where I work and I'm teaching a certification class on it next week. Hope you don't mind but I'd like to show your technique, giving you full credit for it. This is going to be a lifesaver. Thank you.
Of course! Wow, to have my concept shared by a pro! I'm honored. :) I hope you have a great class! Oh btw, before I began quilting, I unrolled the belly bar and then rolled it back up the opposite direction, so the fabric came off the top vs from under the bottom. Also, I added the Red Snappers to the rest of the take up rail. I just didn't show that in the video. Thanks!
Loved this video even though I do not have a long arm. I have a sit down Handi Quilter Sweet 16. Thank you.
Do you float your quilt tops or attach them to the front rail? I’m finding a lot of videos teaching how to float tops, but the continuum II frame is built a little bit differently, and I’m concerned about my larger quilts getting skewed. I’ll like to learn how to attach the top to the front rail for extra security in knowing that it will be squared up just as evenly as the backing. Can you do a video on that style for us if you haven’t already?
Always enjoy how you take your time with your explanations and your teaching style is spot on. Thanks ever sew much!
Such a great help!
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Becky, thank you. I just discovered this tutorial. I struggle with having the ends stack up on each other and knowing that it doesn’t need to stack up, frees up my mental block.
Would I load a minky or fleece back the same?
Thanks for the great video! I’m trying to load a plaid backing and wondering if you have any tips on keeping the plaid straight? Or should I not worry about it? I use red snappers too! Love them. Thanks for your help.
Just do the best you can with plaid. It will never be perfect in a million years. :)
I don't have a long arm but the info was good. I'm thinking it is basically same steps we learned in home economic in school sewing cloths. You fold fabric selvages together, hold up and slide selvages in opposite directions till fabric hung straight before you cut.
Yes! That's exactly it! That trick has been lost over the years when garment sewers are just told to lay the fabric out flat folded in half. You're crossing your fingers that the fabric is on-grain and folded and cut properly. It so important to make sure the fabric hangs straight before attempting to lay out your quilt. :)
Thank you for this!! Much easier than trying to keep the ends lined up! Do you have a video doing the top of the quilt?
I'm working on the video for the top of the quilt right now. Soon my friend, soon!
@@PowerToolsWithThread yay!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I noticed you rolled the bottom of the backing away ( going under the belly bar) from you vs. towards you ( going over the belly bar) to create a waterfall. I"m confused - which way is the proper way?
I didn't show that I actually rolled it like a waterfall before stitching.
Have you ever heard of ripping the 108 at the top and bottom? It will automatically make it straight
Yes, that's a great way to get a fabric on-grain. Now, is it rolling onto the frame on-grain? If it's directional, was it printed on-grain? So many variable factors! Using drag lines as a guide, ensures you're rolling the fabric to the frame on-grain every time. :)
Hi Becky, I know this is unrelated to this video but I didn't know where else to post my question. You make a lot of quilts using panels. Could you have a video on how to square up a panel. One without a printed border would be helpful. Thank you,
Actually, a video of this is something that's been on my mind for quite some time. Next time I come across one that is off grain, I'll show how I straighten it out. Thanks!
What is the lighting above your longarm please?
Boy this all Chinese to me whew !🤤but looks interesting how show this. I don't have a long arm but interesting to see how you do the top part
Do you have second hand Longarm quilting machine. If you have sel it for me
Thanks for the informative video! Do you use Red Snapper side clamps or just the single/double clamps?
Right now I'm just using the clamps that came with the frame.
Can you sandwich the quilt before you put in a long arm?
I have put sandwiched quilts on the longarm again only if needed for a repair or to add a binding. Usually I use the longarm to create the quilt sandwich.
Why do you load your backing onto the belly bar? I thought the bar below that was supposed to be for the backing. Please explain or show how to do both. Please!
I generally do that. It provides a flat horizontal surface which also helps to prevent tucks and pleats in the backing. One thing I didn't show in the video is that when I rolled up at the end, it was rolled like a scroll. When I'm ready to quilt, I fully unroll it and then roll the belly bar the opposite direction so it goes from the back over the top vs. under from the bottom. Works perfectly.
Then you load your quilt and batting on the idler bar??
Not really. The idler rail only provides a 90-degree angle from the front of the frame to keep the quilt top flat.
You just pin it in place? I have a longarm machine and just wanted to try your way to see if it makes it easier.. thank you!
sorry but not enough info
Happy to answer any questions!
