THANK U SOOO MUCH. I also hav a Brother Runway machine Limited Edition-XR9500PRW. (Just slightly different). Can’t tell you how helpful this video is. What I appreciate the most is that you took the time to demonstrate and walk us thru the pros and cons. I’ve been sewing for yrs, but I’m new to the quilting world-it’s my first and it’s a queen size. I hand quilted the panel but decided to machine quilt the rest with a template. This helps tremendously!
Thank you so much for showing us things it’s the first video I’ve seen with quilting on a standard machine and not one with a huge throat. I’m just starting on my first quilt and don’t want to spend a fortune on a new machine or having it professionally quilted. Thank you so much.
You are so very welcome! I know it can be a bit daunting to try to quilt a larger quilt on a smaller domestic machine. But it can be done! Thank you for watching!! And good luck on your quilting project. I'm sure it'll come out amazing!
This is the best tutorial on how to get your larger quilt quilted with a small space, I’ve never seen one where someone is actually doing it! Thank you 🙏
This girl (young woman) is a wonderful person because she is so expert and unbelievably patient. I was really nervous watching her, but she handled it beautifully. After a good hour of watching my quilt form unwanted pockets and ridges, I just throw it to the wind and claim that's part of its charm. After all, think about those pioneer women quilting in candlelight. You can't tell me their finished work didn't have undersides that looked like the dog's dinner.
Well thank you! :D Haha! I love your idea of saying it's part of the charm. I'll have to remember that. :D You're probably right about quilting by candlelight.
Carol and RitaMarthe, Just found this channel. Watched a few minutes of most current, subscribed!, and started watching this oldie but goodie. Last quilt I made was about 53 x 93 on a small Janome. Quilted the sashing and tied the middle of the blocks to avoid more puckering and other difficulties. When Carol gave the size of the queen size I was nearly horrified at the thought. True though, several minutes in watching this, my batting was not lofty but heavier. I appreciate the idea of thinner batting. Will watch this with more concentration now. I have too much fabric to stop quilting. Always learning and re-learning.
Thank you so very much for walking me through this step by step! I am making my husband's memorial quilt (Queen sized) on my small domestic sewing machine. This whole process has been a list of firsts for me. I just jumped in feet first to making my very first quilt with my very first sewing machine. Like my husband always said- Go Big or Go home.:) Thank you very much!
No problem. I'm glad I was able to assist. That's wonderful! It's not as scary as most people think. Jumping right in is the best way to learn. Sure you'll make mistakes but how else are you supposed to learn!? Hehehe. You're husband is a very smart man! Hahaha. You don't have to tell him I said that though. ;) Good luck!
So far this is the best video I have seen on how to quilt on a small domestic sewing machine. I am a new quilter and have a 1970 dressmaker with a 6 1/2 inch throat clearance. I am having problems getting the backing to not get pinched or tuck when I quilt and I am pin basting so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Loved this video!
Try quilting the bottom right hand quadrant of the quilt, from center out. Rotate quilt, repeat, keeping the bulk of your fabric to the left and back side of the needle. I saw this suggestion somewhere and it really helped me.
I know this is an older video, but I just have to give you props for what a masterful job you did! My machine is almost the same as yours and the first quilt I did was a queen size with thicker batting...HARD work! But I did it! I'm saving for a sweet sixteen to make my quilt life easier, but in the meantime I'll be using some of your fabulous tips. Thank you for sharing!
Placing my hand under bulk is a great help....seemed I struggled with control from the top...also it seems that the table attachment might be a disadvantage in this case...going to try it...thank you🌷🌷🌷
a suggestion. roll that quilt between two thin poles and put large pvc pipes under the two poles. this creates a rolling frame that relieves much of the drag.
It was very helpful to see you actually do the machine quilting and see the speed you sew and how you maneuver the material, but it was a bit dishonest to pretend the thickness of the lap quilt in the throat would be similar to the queen. When I have machine quilted a simple straight line design on a queen, I actually rolled the quilt halfway before putting it in the throat and slid the roll and the fabric into place with the roll being pushed into the throat area It seemed to allow more quilt to fit in the throat because you can roll fairly tight when you are rolling it before you put it in the machine. I haven't had the courage to try a design or stitch in the ditch type work but seeing you do it, I will practice that.
I think sayng she was being "Dishonest" and "Pretending" are not only harsh without reason..your wording is as if she Intended to deceive as to get something out of doing so.. hardly the case.. just relax its only RUclips
I'm a beginning quilter, and this is exactly the machine that I have, so I truly appreciate this video! Thank you! I have had two hand tie most of my quilts because I did not know how to manage anything bigger than a baby quilt. I also ordered the foot that you suggested, maybe I can learn how to freestyle. Anything is Possible LOL
Well welcome to the hobby! :) Oh that's great! I love this little guy. I'll actually be doing some applique with it this week. :) Well, like I said, you can do larger quilts but it will take some practice and patience for sure! I recommend doing a large practice quilt first before working on one you really care about. You can totally do it! Good luck.
Hi, I made a quilt top after watching your video on collage t-shirt quilt tops. I can't find where you discuss the foot you use to machine quilt. I have walking foot, but I don't think it will work well for what you are doing in middle of shirt. Thanks
Kay... I didn't know you liked sweing? Your awesome, I also like sewing as well, I just finished my pouch for all my finds very nice 👍💙 I love you Kay as a sister in Christ God bless you my friend lol "she detector" I herd your voice and I was like wow I know this voice hehehe.
Hahaha, It's a secret "side hustle". Kind of like batman. Lol! That's great! I've been trying to figure out ways to incorporate more sewing. So far it's just the dive weights that I made. Hahaha, that's too funny that just from a voice you can pick me out. :D
You certainly do have a sweet little machine there. I could imagine some garment sewing, placemats or pot holders. I don't envy you working with that throat space and a full quilt. Been there, done that :) I also know the feeling of having it moving along and enjoying just the moment....and then...bobbin empty, yet again! Nice video, and well explained. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make it.
Oh yes, it's great as a multi purpose machine. Hahaha, yea, I don't do quilting on this machine very often, as you can imagine. :) Hahaha, yea, it's hard to keep an eye on the bobbin when you're working in the middle of the quilt. Not easy at all! Thank you! And thanks for watching.
I see that the quilting is around the logos. But with so much empty space don’t I have to quilt freely there too so to avoid the batting losing its consistency? I noticed that it hasn’t been done here. I’m a first timer and you had one video that taught me how to set up on the floor which I lived. Now I wait for my quilter’s free motion foot and your response. Thank you so much❤️
It all depends on the batting you are using. Batting has specific requirements for the stitching. So long as you follow that, you should be good. But, you can always add in extra quilting in some of the empty spaces, it will just add to your quilt. :) I hope that answers your question.
My husband build me a large table that goes up against the wall and cut out a section so the machine can sit down in and the quilt top is flat this helps greatly as I do all my quilts on my domestic machine
Wow, that's a great idea! That would certainly make any sewing just SO much less awkward! An invaluable setup when quilting. Can make me one too? Lol 😋
Thanks for your tutorial wow I give you a lot of credit, I recently started quilting and I had an old kenmore (similar throat room)which I thought was broke. Long story short I brought it to get it fixed and impulsively bought a baby lock. Love my new machine but would definitely spend more time looking at machines. I saw a few suggestions I have one from u tube put the table in the corner up against the wall so it doesn't pull. Good luck and a great job
I have the same machine. Where can I get that quilting foot? Thank you for this video! It made me really think about the quilt I'm working on ( queen, lol) Thin batting seems to be the way. Ugh 😂😂😂
You can get one from Amazon.com. This is almost exactly like mine: goo.gl/VcmGTX Should fit perfectly. Oh yes, small throat space almost REQUIRES a low loft batting. Otherwise you'll want to jump out a window. Good luck!
She gives those details about backing on the 3 hour video about t-shirt quilting. She posted the time stamps in the details below the video so u don’t have to watch the whole thing.
It would definitely help as it would give you more space for your left hand. But, you'll still have minimal movement on the right side due to the small throat space. But I think having your left hand supported is a huge plus.
For my bobbin, I always try to match the thread color to the backing fabric color. But I'll use Coats & Clark quilting thread. For the top thread, I use a clear monofilament thread. It's also Coats & Clark but you can use any brand really.
Oh really? That's great! I wonder if you had the version that was up from mine. Did it also have an automatic thread cutter? Mine doesn't have that either. :(
Segovia Quilts No, mine doesn't have an automatic thread cutter, either. Lol About the needle down position, I just happened to find it in the manual, when I was looking for something else. Lol I think I had that same model. I also bought a mini extended table for this model. the model I have now is Brother SQ9185. It came with an extended table.
Great question! I looked at the manual for your machine and it looks like you're able to do it with out a foot entirely! This is honestly very surprising to me but if you look at page 35 of your manual, it talks about monogramming and embroidery. For embroidery, it says to install the Darning Plate and then remove the presser foot and the presser foot assembly. Then you just get to sewing. Of course for the embroidery, they are using a hoop and wouldn't need that for quilting. You can try doing some test quilting this way and see how it works out. You can also try this three pack of feet I found on Amazon: amzn.to/4cXyhcj These are low shank feet, which is what your machine is. I'm not 100% sure these will fit your machine as these are universal low shank feet. Worst case, they don't fit and you can send them back. If these feet do fit, you'll still need to put the Darning Plate on as there doesn't seem to be an option to lower your feed dogs. Let me know if all this makes sense of if you have any questions!
I have a very similar brother machine and I am finding it to be the biggest pain to free motion quilt. I’m getting a quilting machine bc there is no way I’d quilt if I had to wrestle a quilt every few inches. Takes all the fun out of quilting. And I can’t believe you don’t have a needle down position on your machine. What a pain. I would suggest anyone who wants to quilt to not waste your time quilting on a small sewing machine. It’s not worth the frustration.
I know what you mean. Having something with a bigger throat space makes quilting so much more enjoyable for me. :) Yes, the needle down is a wonderful thing to have in a sewing machine! Hahaha. Right you are. Unless you working on small projects, look into a bigger machine to save yourself some headaches. :)
When you have a machine and it is what you have, it is worth the struggle and people who post videos, like this one, make it easier with all their techniques and suggestions 🌞🌞🌞
I have this same/similar machine. I can't seem to figure out how to free motion quilt. Did you purchase a different foot or are you using one that came with the machine? Thanks for sharing
I had to purchase a different foot. You need a low shank, open toe (or closed toe) darning foot. This is almost the exact one I have: www.amazon.com/HONEYSEW-Presser-Embroidery-Darning-006016008/dp/B01E5B7QL0/ref=sr_1_5?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1508263909&sr=1-5&keywords=low+shank+darning+foot Then all you need to do to the machine is drop your feed dogs and you can start free motion quilting. :) Good luck!
hollyinyellow77 I have a brother its not the runway I will lay quilt on floor and roll quilt before then insert in throat then find my place I what to start sewing make sure its flat and smooth I am a beginner this is what I am going to do
If you press and hold the “-“ button on the most left, closest to the r in brother, then turn the machine on while holding it, it changes the needle to down start and stop position.
Hi, I'm a newbie to quilting and I'm going to do T shirt quilt for my first project. I've watched all your videos you're a great teacher. I have a question, I will be using my domestic machine it basic, do I need to buy a quilting foot? Thank you
Hi! Welcome to the quilting hobby. It's so much fun! :) Well thank you, and thanks for watching! If you are planning on doing only straight lines, then no, you don't need a special foot. But, it you plan on doing free motion quilting, which is where you lower the feed dogs and move the quilt around in any direction you want, then yes you should get an open toe quilting foot. For the piecing, you just need a 1/4 inch quilting foot. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
Yes, I dropped them down to do my quilting. There is no stitch regulator on this machine while free motion quilting. I have to adjust the speed of my hands/foot pedal to get consistent stitches.
Honestly, there are several different models of this sewing machine. The big difference between them all is what the sewing machine can do, or how many different stitch patterns it can do.
@@SegoviaQuilts What is the left and model of this sewing machine? Can it be used quilting sewing machine free mutton? What is the price in Bangladeshi rupees? I want to buy, where can I get it?
I still have it although I am in the process of getting rid of it. I recently bought a Juki DDL8700. It's an industrial straight stitch machine. One of the ones that is built into it's own table. It's crazy fast! And it was actually cheaper than my Juki 2010Q.
No, not at all. I'm just being honest that trying to quilt anything over a twin size quilt is doable but it's going to be hard. And the thicker batting you use, the harder it gets. If you have absolutely zero problem, then that's great! I however much rather prefer quilting on something with a larger throat space like my Juki TL2010 Q.
Debbie Marshall What size quilts do you make all day long with no problem with 5” of throat space? What type of “domestic” machine do you have? Thank you, Segovia Quilts, for this demo. I have the CE5000prw and am finishing up my first quilt, twin size (to be used as a wall hanging), light batting. I’m not doing FMQ, just stitching in the ditch plus semi-decorative stitches with a walking foot. I do have a darning foot and your video has given me the minerals to try FMQ on my machine, and to do larger sized quilts (full and queen). I’m getting a new machine soon but in the meantime I want to max out this 5000prw, lol! What type of needles and threads did you use to FMQ on this machine? Did you have to adjust the tension?
For this machine, I use the zigzag foot. This one has a clear plastic so I can see exactly where my needle is going. You could also use a walking foot but mine broke so I just go without. :)
THANK U SOOO MUCH. I also hav a Brother Runway machine Limited Edition-XR9500PRW. (Just slightly different). Can’t tell you how helpful this video is.

Benji- I'd love to see a tutorial on what that looks like! :-)
I would also love to see what that looks like. (Visual learners need props 😉)
You can also use pool noodles 🙂

What foot where you using and what about your feeders do you have those down? Also did you sew each square and then the logo?
THIS IS Phyllis Graham how did you get the tee shirts from streching?? when you quilt on the machine, did you use a backing on some kind?
She gives those details about backing on the 3 hour video about t-shirt quilting. She posted the time stamps in the details below the video so u don’t have to watch the whole thing.
Would the extension table help? My Brother came with one, wondering if you use, recommend, or have one...can it help support your left hand...?
It would definitely help as it would give you more space for your left hand. But, you'll still have minimal movement on the right side due to the small throat space. But I think having your left hand supported is a huge plus.

Yes, I dropped them down to do my quilting. There is no stitch regulator on this machine while free motion quilting. I have to adjust the speed of my hands/foot pedal to get consistent stitches.
What type of batting did you use poly or cotton
I always use poly unless a client asks for something specific.
Can you recommend another quilting foot. The link you provided in one of the comments below is no longer a valid link. Thanks.
Oh no! Sorry about that. Try this link instead: goo.gl/1dNY9h
Thank you!
How many models?
Honestly, there are several different models of this sewing machine. The big difference between them all is what the sewing machine can do, or how many different stitch patterns it can do.
@@SegoviaQuilts What is the left and model of this sewing machine?
Can it be used quilting sewing machine free mutton?
What is the price in Bangladeshi rupees?
I want to buy, where can I get it?
Did you get rid of your juki 2010. I just subscribed this morning and
was watching you work your juki. Love your videos.
I still have it although I am in the process of getting rid of it. I recently bought a Juki DDL8700. It's an industrial straight stitch machine. One of the ones that is built into it's own table. It's crazy fast! And it was actually cheaper than my Juki 2010Q.
Place the rubber shelf paper under your machine and it won’t move
Yea, that would help for sure. But the machine is rather light weight wise so that doesn't help.
why can't you just quilt each block separately and then put the quilt together.. Is that possible???
You can. It's a different technique. Look up 'quilt as you go'
this is basically sounding like trying to get you to buy a long arm machine....I use my "domestic" machine for quilts all day long and have no problem
No, not at all. I'm just being honest that trying to quilt anything over a twin size quilt is doable but it's going to be hard. And the thicker batting you use, the harder it gets. If you have absolutely zero problem, then that's great! I however much rather prefer quilting on something with a larger throat space like my Juki TL2010 Q.
Debbie Marshall What size quilts do you make all day long with no problem with 5” of throat space? What type of “domestic” machine do you have?
Thank you, Segovia Quilts, for this demo. I have the CE5000prw and am finishing up my first quilt, twin size (to be used as a wall hanging), light batting. I’m not doing FMQ, just stitching in the ditch plus semi-decorative stitches with a walking foot. I do have a darning foot and your video has given me the minerals to try FMQ on my machine, and to do larger sized quilts (full and queen).
I’m getting a new machine soon but in the meantime I want to max out this 5000prw, lol!
What type of needles and threads did you use to FMQ on this machine? Did you have to adjust the tension?
Are you also SheDetector?
Hum. I feel like if I told you, the mystery would go away. Don't we all enjoy a little bit of mystery? ;)
What foot is on the machine?
I used a low shank open toe foot. Here's a link to the one I used amzn.to/2Vwnf9T But make sure to check your machine to buy the correct version.
will be first time making t-shirt quilts and I am using a domestic sewing machine, I'd like to know what pressure foot your using.
Thanks
For this machine, I use the zigzag foot. This one has a clear plastic so I can see exactly where my needle is going. You could also use a walking foot but mine broke so I just go without. :)
I strongly suggest a walking foot. Also be sure to use stabilizer on the back of the t-shirts.
I would roll them makes it easier to handle when quilting
Yes. I've done this with a few quilts but I'm not set with one particular method.
13.15 and still not quilting
