    Thank you! Got all my projects quilted now, so easy and looks great. I thought it had to be quilted with swirls etc but my straight lines look so great, tickled pink with it. Many thanks, Tina xxxxxx 💋❤️

    Why no one has invented an 1 inch quilting foot yet? 1/4 doesn’t do it for most projects. The first tip is awesome, I’m getting that Hera Marker asap. Thank you for a SHORT video and showing on a full sized project.

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  Год назад +1

      Have you seen the little guide bars that come with some walking feet? It’s like a little metal bar that you can slide to any size you want to use as a guide. I find them easy to use, but not as accurate as marking the lines. Maybe you could try it!

    • @rainacherienne1010

      I’m glad I could help! And I agree - marking the lines is not the fun part (but it’s worth it!)

  • @joannefrancis7040
    @joannefrancis7040 Год назад

    Love your video. I HAVE A QUESTION. Does that spray basting hurt your floor or make it sticky? I've been wanting to try it but was afraid it would make the floor all sticky like spray glue.

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  Год назад +2

      thank you! That's a great question. The spray definitely can leave a sticky residue if you get the overspray onto your floors, and some brands of spray are much much worse than others. I am pretty careful when I spray to keep it on the quilt. Most of the time I don't feel the need to swiffer after basting, but giving the floors a little extra love afterwards is probably a good habit I should practice anyway. If you're worried about it, some quilters lay down scrap batting or cardboard pieces near the edges of their quilts while spraying to catch any excess overspray. I hope this helps!

  • @cherylfowler988
    @cherylfowler988 Месяц назад

    Once I establish the first straight stitch in the center of the quilt (sewing from the middle to the edge), do the remaining seams need to start at the middle and sew to the edge again? Or, can I sew from the edge to the end in one seam?

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  Месяц назад +1

      It’s best to start in the center and work your way outwards to smooth out any puckers or bunching

  • @KL-5525
    @KL-5525 3 года назад

    Great tutorial. I am curious why you quilt from one direction. I have no experience with machine quilting, but would have alternated directions in hopes that things didn't shift. Thanks for your thoughts!

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  3 года назад +4

      Alternating directions can cause little puckers between the lines

  • @vivadevega
    @vivadevega 3 года назад +3

    Do you start in the middle or the at the ends?

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  3 года назад +1

      Hi Prima! I typically start in the middle just in case I didn’t baste it well enough and need to do some shifting. But, if you baste it really well then it won’t matter where you start out stitching. Also, I use a 2.5 stitch length for normal cotton backing or a 3 stitch length if I’m using lofty batting or if I have minky backing (which makes the quilt just a little more thick). Happy sewing!

    What do you use as a guide so the needle meets the line? I hope you know what I mean.

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  4 года назад +2

      I look at the line a few inches in front of where the needle is and aim for that

    After you’ve sewn the lines how do you finish the quilt off?

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  3 года назад +1

      Great question Nicole!
      Once you’re done quilting it, trim off the excess batting & backing fabric, and then bind the edges of the quilt. This video shows the binding process & I hope you find it helpful!

      yes! baste it well and sew slowly, but mostly it's all about basting it really well.

    @kellyer21 2 года назад

    I'm surprised to see the quilt lying flat and hanging down. It looks like must be causing a lot of drag on the quilt. I thought the quilt always had to be pooled around the sewing machine. Maybe I've been doing it all wrong!😮

    • @HomemadeEmilyJane
      @HomemadeEmilyJane  2 года назад +2

      I find it easiest to keep it flat while doing straight lines. Pooling it up works better if you’re doing more free motion loops!
