    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🪡🧵❤️

  • @maureentaphouse5206
    @maureentaphouse5206 Год назад +2

    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.

  • @belindakinmon1395

    Becky, You need to roll your backing the opposite way on the front bar. Great showing those Red Snappers, I love mine.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread

      Yes, I didn't show that in the video, but I did roll it the other way before I began quilting. Thanks!

It is non-stop FUN and such a joy to see it all come together.

    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

    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.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  Год назад +1

      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!

  • @francessmith9875
    @francessmith9875 Год назад

    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!

  • @leahg4596
    @leahg4596 Год назад +1

    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.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  Год назад +1

      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. :)

    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?

    • @PowerToolsWithThread

      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

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  Год назад

      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. :)

  • @ermawaulk4561

    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,

    • @PowerToolsWithThread

      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!

      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.

  • @joanndutton1896
    @joanndutton1896 Год назад +1

    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!

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  Год назад

      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.

  • @jenniferjanson5933
    @jenniferjanson5933 Год назад +1

    Then you load your quilt and batting on the idler bar??

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  Год назад

      Not really. The idler rail only provides a 90-degree angle from the front of the frame to keep the quilt top flat.
