Lorena's excellent adventure. Thank you
That quilt turned out beautifully. You are so skilled.
This is a great real life tutorial for new long armers. Thank you for the tips on how to approach excess fullness within the body of the quilt.
You are a master artisan at your quilting. Beautiful product.
Thank you so much! I have been doing it a long time.
That is beautiful!
The Miracle Worker! I will only ever trust my quilts to the care and dedication of Lorena. She has fixed a few of my quilts and it never is apparent. Love her.
Holy mackerel you are a magician !!!
Great job, you have the patience if a saint!
Wow! Impressive
You have magic hands!
Wow! You are definitely a quilt whispererer!
I have a long armer friend who will NOT touch a quilt that isn't square and flat. You are a miracle worker.
She is missing out on some good income.. because a lot of quilts are not square .. but I so get it it’s a lot of work to work on quilts that are not done right
@@ToniNov25 Your work here is inspiring and your approach is welcoming and encouraging to quilters of all skill levels. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to your uploads. It's fun to see you present a seemingly impossible quilt challenge and make it work so well. .
I just found your channel in my feed tonight…I subbed cause I think you’re awesome, very patient and made me laugh more than once!
I’m sure you know this but for others who don’t or are new to quilting here’s why this could happen:
This typically happens when quilters don’t/can’t identify what cutting “on grain” or “off grain” does to fabric. The elasticity of the project is working against pieces that were cut incorrectly. Block sizes have no bearing whether a quilt or garment lays correctly… I say this as I sew my own clothes but started quilting first and although I was taught about grain didn’t *fully* appreciate it until I tried sewing a garment, I still have nightmares… one piece was cut incorrectly… popped a button trying it on😅
If they cut all off grain or all on grain then at least while sewing the blocks together, where blocks generally get the most tugging and abuse, the little stretches here and there would add up to a wrinkle or two. Inconsistent grain cuts plus tugging while sewing results in a well loved but wonky laying quilt.
.
This is also another reason for cutting *certain* fabrics on the bias when binding a quilt. Over time some fabrics that should have been cut on the bias and weren’t have ends or sides that look wonky after washing.
Hope that helps anyone dealing with this…just know we’ve all been there ❤
I've watched your channel for awhile now and you've done some beautiful and impressive things. But I have to say that this video impressed me more than any other one. What you did here is nothing less than sheer magic. Also, it's a really good example for quilters on how bias can cause a lot of issues. Great job Lorena!
I made this mistake. A friend saved me by telling me to steam and to starch a lot. It worked, and now I'm using tons of starch.
You are much braver than me. WOW. I don't mind work but this would be too much for me. Glad I don't quilt for a business.
She is a beautiful quilt. You gave her an all day massage and she relaxed for you and laid down flat so you could let her show how beautiful she is. Lorena, you worked your magic. That is why you are the best! And, we all learned something today.
What causes a quilt to warp like that?
I really enjoyed this video! I had run across this too and did the same type thing not sure if it was ok, my long arm is not computerized so when I do a pantograph I have to anchor, watch the laser and go slow enough to try to smooth from the opposite side, quite challenging but always happy quilters in the end👍love all your videos😊😊😊
You did an amazing job with that quilt! Such a beautiful quilt
Thank you Lorena. Marvelous! Love in action. ♥
My mother in law brought me a quit she made that was warped and she panicked! Then she sat back and watched it all disappear haha!
Beautiful work! Well done , that was a lot of work
Love your vids. Love your attitude! You are a charmer. Keep it coming our way. Great inspiration. question for you - where can I find or set the stitch regulator on my machine? thx
Look at university longarm they sell longarm machines there

Beautiful!! I've ran into this a few times myself!! Great job!!
Another beautiful job! she turned out lovely ❤️
Great job! Do you ever have to remove any of those lower basted stitches? Also, I usually baste/anchor at 4 stitches/inch. When you are doing the whole quilt at once, do you change your stitches per inch?
Yes I trim the quilt then. Clean any weird threads on the quilt
Absolutely loved this. Haven’t been quilting for the summer but now iam ready for my mistakes😂.
Bias can be a real challenge. I’m like you, I fear the bleed. You did a great job!
That was amazing! I have felt from the beginning that it would be easier to quilt a skewed or warped top on my domestic machine because I can do your cat scratching easily on a domestic. But so glad to see your work on the LA with this type of quilt top. Congrats on a job well done!
Do these ever go back when they’re washed?
I get a little thrill from a challenge quilt too. But one finally outdid me. A vintage DWR quilt. Owner and I decided we are going to carefully rip out the little 4 square sections where the rings come together and replace them with larger ones. They are just so tight there was no way to stretch and pull the rest of the ring sections.
oh wow...
Lorena, as a piecer, I would be so ashamed to send a quilt to the longarmer when it looked like this one. That person needs to take a basic quilting class!
I get it.. she and elderly and she is 82 years old., so I get why she struggled.. but hey she is active making things and that’s what keeps her going.
That’s a little rude. I am a new quilter, having done only one quilt. A queen sized story photo quilt 100% totally hand stitched that took me two years to complete. I didn’t make triangles or four point intersections because I knew I did not have the skill. But I did irregular blocks and fitted everything in to suit my project and be easier. But it saved my mental health during the lockdowns as I tried to de stress from my job as a nurse. Who knows what this client went through. Please be a little mindful in this very trying times.
I’m sorry, Hazel, that you thought my comment was rude. I started quilting in the 1980’s. There are WAY more resources for quilters now than there were then. Even during the pandemic, there were a lot of resources for nerves quilters. If this quilter was older, I give her a pass. My grandma quilted until she was 95.
What can a person do to keep from having a quilt fo that. I don't want to take a quilt with that issue yo my longarmer, if I can help it
What is the name of the panto you used?
I feel your pain! Taking my quilt as you go to my long arm has been a lesson. Thank goodness going forward no more quilt as you go projects.🎃
Good evening.. send all quilt my love 💓
I'm doing this same thing with a star diamonds quilt I'm working on ~ uggg ~ it's a a huge challenge. I am using your method to try to square it as I go
Have you ever turned down a quilt for being too warped?
No. Work is work.. and I really good at what I do because of warps. I have learned different ways to fix quilts and I get so excited when I see the quilts beautiful and quilted ..and I know what I dealt with. The gift is the struggle. To trust yourself and your ability to find how to fix it is really the opportunity to make you a great longarm.
@@ToniNov25Nice! I'm not sure I would be that brave. I might be afraid I'd screw it up.
Fabric can always be repaired. It stretches and shrinks with heat and water... as you work you really learn a lot about material and how it works...
Lorena - wrapped is not warped. Wrapped is like what you do to a present. Warped is distorted and what you meant and said. I almost skipped the video because a wrapped-up quilt didn’t sound as interesting. 😂
😂😂 okay I will fix it… I had such a bad migraine I don’t think clearly or spell well for that matter.
That was miraculous!!!
By the way
Hi, Lorena. Beautiful quilt. I was wondering if the quilting would have been more dense, if the fullness would have worked out as easily?
As long as you get it as flat as you can you can quilt it more dense. .. I even think it helps keep it flat .
I’m a new quilter, but I have over 55 years making clothes. I would assume the first time this quilt is washed it’s going to completely warp out of shape all over again. Kind of like when you buy a pair of jeans and after a wash one leg seam is twisted. You can iron that twist out each time you wash the jeans, but it’s always going to twist again when you wash it. Do you know if this will happen on this quilt or any warped quilt? I would be interested in knowing.
As a quilter after having washed many of these types of quilts - it will be fine. When washed, the batting will sort of shrink up and crinkle up. It will be fine. Washing it will improve it. (assuming it doesn't bleed)
