tile titan block 5
Here is my Tile Titan's Block 5 video. Tools include the Mini Multi Arc, Between the Lines Circle 1.5", Simple Circle Set 2 - 2.5" Circle, and the Curly Q 11.5" Wide and the 10.5' from Curly Q Set 2.
I have the mini multi arcs on hand as well as both the Between the Lines Sets and the Simple Circle Set 2. I can order the Curly q Sets for anyone that wants one. Check out my web store www.FabriKatedQuilts.com or message me for more information by using the email link on my webpage.
Other Circles can be used in place of the ones I have chosen to use if you have them of course. I really like the 1.5" size that is in the Between the Lines set.

Rulerwork Setting for using higher end Bernina Machines and the 72 foot
มุมมอง 1.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Bernina users that have the #72 rulerfoot will want to use high shank templates. Longarm and low shank can also be used. The longarm style will have slightly lower needle visibility due to the height of the template but work fine. I fine the low shank less comfortable to hold but have friends who love using the low shank and have no problem using them. This video shares some of the setting adju...

Where did you get the little disk that you used with the pencil to make it 1/4 in. Away? My starter set didn't come with that. I love the designs in this video especially the first one.
Thank you. The small disks are called stitching line disks. You can find them here: www.fabrikatedquilts.com/shop/c/p/Stitching-Line-Discs---Pack-of-8-4-sizes-Pink-x62320318.htm or in a combination with some other tools Here: www.fabrikatedquilts.com/shop/c/p/Ruler-Work-Accessory-Tool-Set-x70885776.htm.
Great tutorial. Thanks for the ideas. Looking forward to the next two. I just bought the sampler set so this helps tremendously.
So glad you enjoyed the info. It’s such a great basic set will a lot of useful shapes.
Hi Kate, FYI clover and dritz makes the purple air erase pens
I used to use them quite a lot but I have moved over to the Sewline brand and use their roller ball tip markers. They are so smooth. Tks for the info.
Thank you so much. Love my set.
Newbie to FMQ. My first practice sandwich looked OK with same color thread top and bottom. I was able to get rid of the eye lashing. So I switched bobbin to a different color. Lets just say YUCK! lol I did end up taking about 1/16th of a turn out of the bottom tension as I was pushing over 8 tension on top. Now about 4.5 top with mostly good results all around. I believe putting same colors top and bottom will be almost un-noticeable. Now to work on a bunch more practice sandwiches in my future.
Love the design. You have so much great information.
Do you drop the feed dog? How do you regulate your speed as you quilt. Do you count in your head, listen to music what?
I listen to the sound of the machine actually. I call it the machine lullaby. If the sound is making me anxious and frustrated, I know the speed is too high. If the needle is dragging and feel like I am trying to push the needle, then the machine is too slow. I recommend starting with the speed in the middle and adjusting up or down based on the appearance. If the stitches look too long, speed up the machine and if they look too small slow it down.
Great educational video bestbever. What do you do when no speed control, should I have a foot controller
Sew Steady makes a controller called the precise pedal power which attaches to your foot control. I will see if I can link it for you.
THE BEST! Starting ruler work & learned so much common, good technique. If I had someone ask me for advice I'm sending them to your videos! Absolutely loved the "listening & acclimating to machine speed" that is comfortable... because it's soooo true, I have experienced the rush of stress & mistakes that accompany the too fast whizzing or the too slow turtle machine sounds, because it truly does play upon our mind and actions of our movements! Thank you for bringing this to light & actually verbalizing it. I'd never thought about the machine speed sounds causing enjoyment or stress while sewing. I've subscribed & looking forward to every lesson you bring our way! Blessings to You and Yours
Thank you so much Deb-Happy Quilting
Wow this was an amazing tutorial. Thankyou

Colorado here hello
Alice Mathews from Colorado
what kind of tacks do you use to pivot the templates on?
These are simple thumb tacks. They come with the templates that are designed to use them but I buy replacements at Staples or some such place.
Th Ann you
What size can I use for a small quilt 28” square with 2” borders already sewn on? I'm totally confused with the math. Thanks for your help.
I’m here!
Very clever use of tools! Thank you --
Do westlee ruler foot fit the Janome Excel W18 sewing machine please
I believe so. This looks to be a low shank style of machine. Janome also has a low change adjustable height ruler foot that you could try.
You're a great teacher
Tks Marie
Love your tutorials I’ve learned a lot 😊
Thanks
I can’t tell if tape is on the side touching the material or on side your fingers are touching?
The grip tape should go against the fabric. It makes the template “stick” to the fabric and then the template and fabric can move together more smoothly.
Beautiful work! I am totally intrigued by the table you put on the machine you quilt on. It's a cutting mat, right? How does that work please? Is it glossed? My cutting mat is non-slip and full of scars from cutting fabric😀.
It isn’t a cutting mat but a glider for reducing friction when sewing or quilting.
I am working on a Christmas project now! This will be perfect!
Wonderful!
I have a qnique 15 pro on a cutie table top hoop frame. Micro quilting lines 2 stitches apart has ROCKED my world on my feather whole cloth quilts . I love this video thanks for making it !
That is awesome! I am so happy that worked for you!!
Kate ru not making anymore videos
I have been traveling pretty intensely so it’s been hard. I have a new one from late March and that I posted here but I am not home enough to do weekly videos. It under the Janome Playlist and is on precision binding.
I am a beginner at this and could use all the help I can find. I love how u teach ur very thorough.
Awesome! Thank you!
Kate I love to make table runners and table mats how can this guideliner work for me. Also would the templates u demonstrate work for a table runner?
Absolutely this can work for table runners. Use your seams as guidelines or add references as needed to create your designs.
Thank u
What kind of glider do u use
I use both the grid glider which allows for sewing and Freemotion stitching and the white free motion glider. Here is a link to see them. www.fabrikatedquilts.com/iishop?form_version=2&showSearchResults=1&search_keyword=Glider&image_x=0&image_y=0

What kind of pen are you using to mark the fabric?
Here is a link to a list of things I like to use. I mainly use white chalk products on light and air erase or the duo marker in lighter colored projects. www.fabrikatedquilts.com/shop/Kate-Approved-Marking-Tools-for-Quilting.htm

Hi Jackie
Oh boy , you just saved my quilt with this tutorial. I was having a really hard time quilting. As I was listening, I was changing my tension and following your instructions. Really good video!!!! Thanks and have a blessed day!!
Wonderful! I am so happy this was helpful to you and made a difference.
This is absolutely the best! So grateful for the very practical demonstration of the mechanics of fmq.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful and so creative. The you for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for this tutorial!
My pleasure!
What kind of machine are you using?
This is a Janome 9450. Janome has a very useful Rulerwork program so setting up the machine is super easy. Other machine can or course do it too but I love my machine’s function .
You should show what your doing on the settings so we know where those setting are
I spoke through the setting because my machine is very specific and it will not help the general public if they try to do it the same. Each quilt sandwiches and batting and machine will have its own quilts or requirements. The basic direction is that the foot needs to be as low as possible to stitch well while not preventing you from moving. If this was a Janome channel I would do that and have a video regarding that if you need it, but my channel is brand non specific so I did not do that here.
Good
Thanks
Amazing. I will watch several times to make sure I practice this technique. Thanks so very much
Wonderful! Thank you :)
Amazing video, learned so many things, answered so many issues, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Kate, is your Design Layout sheet still available to download somewhere? Would sure like to have it to use in following along with your video and practice this lesson. Thanks so much!
No, sorry. I do have a different one for the artisan curve called Daisy Lively Mandala which has full instructions but not for this design.

Great tutorial. I do my binding just like this, but I press the binding seam open for less bulk.
Love the design!
