This is a beautiful quilt and you are a wonderful relaxed down-to-earth teacher. I like to watch your videos before I start each day to remember to be calm and enjoy the process. Thank you for showing us the joy of quilting! 🙏🏻
The thing I love about your videos is your relaxed attitude!!! I am VERY new to sewing/hand quilting (I have hand pieced half the blocks of the quilt I am working on, which is my first) and as I am reading/watching tutorials, I have been feeling discouraged due to such heavy emphasis on PERFECT technique and finished product. After watching this I feel like it's ok to have uneven stitching or slightly crooked lines, as long as I am learning and enjoying the process. Thank you!!
Oh I am so excited about finding this video! I finished a bow tie quilt top for my son and his wife over a year ago and was wanting to hand quilt it but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted it to look like finished… THIS IS IT!!! Thank you for being such a thorough instructor… I’m not guessing anything about the process! Smiles, Danese 😊
What a great video! I’ve been trying BIG quilting for a while, but didn’t enjoy it. All other videos I’d watched had me loading the needle before pulling through which was even worse than traditional. I used to quilt (traditional) until my fingers began getting too sore. Your stab method is fantastic! I BIG quilted with your method last night for three hours. No sore fingers! Can’t wait to get back to my project. Thank you!!!
I've been wanting to try big stitch quilting for a while now and judging by this video and the comments below, I chose the right person to learn from..Thank you for sharing your "big stitch" expertise.
That quilt you are working on is sooo Beautiful!! I made my very first quilt all by hand over in Germany my first year there because I couldn't drive then and so I made a queen size and used my ironing board as my frame. Lol Truth be told since I didn't have a frame, or a sewing machine I hand pieced all my top material and used a sheet and an old blanket for my batting and hand stitched just like you big stitch and it is still beautiful to this day! And it was truly fun to do!
This video was extremely helpful. Please know that you are by far the best instructor for big stitch quilting. I have a nice Sulky 12wt thread selection and can't wait to get started on my quilt top. Also, love the project you are working on....I can truly see why your world is A Shiny Happy World. Thank you Wendi!
Such a great video, explaining a lot of details. I particularly liked the explanation about keeping the density of the quilting uniform for the entire quilt. I can't wait to try this technique. The effect is really pretty.
Great demo. Just a note. Traditional hand quilting can be worked in any direction. For example, I can quilt away from myself by using a thimble on my thumb. This requires a larger thimble to fit, but, like all stitching, can be learned with repetition. I also can quilt with either hand (that and rotary cutting is ALL I am ambidextrous about), allow me to go left to right or right to left! I learned these techniques many years ago from traditional quilters such as Jane Hall and Sharon Schamber, in workshops. I quilt in my husband's family's walnut quilt frame, made in the 1860's for the original owner for her marriage dowry in West Virgina! The work surface is 96" long by 27 inches wide!
I LOVE this! Hank you SO much for sharing your work. I love your choice of design and colour. I'm one of the weirdos that does this for my normal (small stitch) hand quilting and I am even weirder as I use my left hand under the quilt. I've tried it the other way round and (I dont understand why) my left is more accurate when I can't see it 😂 My eldest daughter (26) has finally decided that she loves my quilts and has been inspired to ask me to show her how to do it...you all know how excited I am by this!! Haha
Oh Wendi! What a wonderful video, I am so glad I stumbled across your channel. I’ve just started my first quilt, a Hexie quilt made from scraps of sentimental fabric, my children’s clothes from when they were small, motifs that symbolise my family members, etc...I have started safe in the knowledge that it will be a labour of love that will probably take years and my intention, like you, is to enjoy the process and end up with something meaningful to our family, I am not looking for perfection. Your videos on hand quilting are truly inspirational. Your teaching manner is so calm and clear and you have balanced helpful tips and technique with such a great attitude to the process. I was beginning to worry I hade made a mistake in choosing quilting as so many tutorials emphasise perfection, but this has restored my faith that I can carry on in the spirit I set out. Thank you for your generosity of putting these vids out in the world, providing guidance and encouragement for us all. You could not of known the madness that was going to hit the planet during 2020, but during these crazy pandemic times, your soothing videos have truly been a tonic. Thank you!
Clearly you posted this a while ago but as I prepare to hand quilt for the first time, your series of three videos have been so inspiring and confidence building. Thank you Wendi!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm sewing my very first quilt for my daughter due in August and this answered all of my questions. I'm definitely not a master seamstress, and I couldn't figure out for the life of my how to bury the thread. your tutorials are amazing and easy to understand with everything I want and not a bunch of mumbo I don't need! You rock!
Oh I love this!! I just started my very first hand quilting on my son's twin sized crazy quilt... I'm sure I should have tried something smaller for the first one... but... here we go! Thank you so much for making this tutorial!!
I began hand quilting with no real guidance, meaning that I didn't know what I was doing. This is how I do my traditional quilting, only with smaller stitches.
Another great job! I especially love how in the Intro and Summary where you are speaking in front of the cat quilt, you have a pair of orange "kitty ears" that appear right above your head and seem to be part of you. Purr-fect!!
hand-quilting takes alot of patience but in the end its all worth it! the stitching doesnt have to be perfect but the patterns and designs really make things pop when its complete. I could do it the quick and easy way by using the sewing machine but i choose to hand sew the one i am currently working on and so far its looking really pretty!
Wow! You have made an succinct breakdown of your technique. I especially like that in your explanation, you’ve given great information meant to encourage more experimentation, not less. Your point regarding uniform density of the quilting really hit home as I start to think of how best to hand quilt my current project. Thank you.
Amazing! I want to make a Denim Quilt and have been warned not to Machine Quilt, FMQ, or QAYG. Someone saw your video on Big Stitching and I believe this will work.
Love what you have achieved , so neat. I hope mine turns out as nice. Thank you for sharing. In many ways I think I like the effect of the big stitch quilting to the normal size stitch.
Thank you, you have answered a numbers of questions I had! I'm hand quilting a Grandmother's Garden for the first time ever, and watched many videos. Yours, with the larger stitch si the one I feel most comfortable with. I will do smaller stitches on another occasion, but this one is perfect for now! Cheers, from Brisbane Australia
Oh I would have loved to see the finished Quilt - its beautiful, also the backside would be interesting, since you made the shift in thread colour aswell
I enjoy big stitch quilting, I like your technique how you do the actual stitching, my thread would knot as you said. I have been using #8 but will look for # 12. Thank you for sharing
I love the quilt your working on, it's gorgeous. I'm still fairly new to quilting, I made 2 twin size quilts one for my daughter the other for my son, they both turned out great, now I'm working on my 3rd quilt which is queen size, ( I know a bit of a challenge for a still newbie) but I got this I can do it... I have confidence in myself now, unlike my first quilt I didn't think I could make it but the feeling I got when I finished it was ( yes you can), still not ready to do the guilting on the queen size quilt yet, when it is I'm going to use the big stitch quilting method on it. I love learning new quilting techniques and I love watching your videos, they're very informative and you're a great teacher, thanks for sharing your skills on TH-cam. Keep up the great work.😀 God bless
All the info you need is FREE! I've got a post here that rounds it all up. www.shinyhappyworld.com/2016/01/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-controlled-chaos-scrap-quilt.html
Thanks for the video. I’m starting with a hexagon table runner and plan on hand quilting it, I’m going to save your 3 videos so I can refer back thanks again!
WOW .. love the look of your quilt & quilting ...Where/when did Big stitch quilting start .. as a hand quilter . we always called this type of stitch toe hangers and were a no-no
Man what a fun technique! I love working with embroidery floss, so I was wondering of there was a quilting technique that uses it. Awesome tutorial and explaination! and beautiful quilt you're making :)
I love this quilt with larger sticthing. I cant see well to do much hand quilting.Or at least the proper way, but I can do this I think? I'm wondering if I can use a large quilting hoop? To do this kind of quilting? Or do I need a different one? Thank you for this video the tips are great❤
Wow, I’m so happy I found this. I’m taking a quilting class and they’re basically using machine. But I wanted learn hand quilting. I’m currently repairing an heirloom quilt. So far I’ve done everything except the finishing stitches. I love the big stitches. Question, what is that holding the quilt? Question, do recommend a different thread since some of my fabric is worn, some patches are thin? I had to mix old pieces with new pieces of fabric. Any suggestions is truly appreciated.
I'm very excited to try this. I purchased a frame over the weekend and almost have my top finished. Question: is your thread folded where you are using 2 strands? Also I have a ton of DMC floss I would like to use up. Should I use 2 strands folded over to make 4? Thanks for any help. I love the look of big stitch quilting!!
That is about the coolest quilt Ive ever seen! You really did a great job! I am new to quilting, I am going to try the big stitch style because I have very bad eyes and its much easier to see. I still havent bought my hood though as the ones Im looking at are the "no slip" plastic type and Im not sure if I should get a 14 or 17". Any advice would really help.
Oh, I LOVE both your big stitch AND your WONderfully relaxed attitude. Thank you for another Great tute. 👏😍. If I big stitch without a frame and use a thimble, is it acceptable to make multiple stitches at a time, or does that technique work well only with small stitch quilting?
Sure! Lots of people do Big Stitch quilting with a regular running stitch. I just prefer to stab when I do Big Stitching. I highly recommend experimenting to figure out what you like the feel of. :-)
I see that your rows of stitching are pretty close. I am a hand quilter, but my stitching is not that dense. Is density more of an issue when doing big stitch, or is that just that overall look you wanted on this quilt...which is lovely.
I looked at your finished quilt on the link below. Beautiful. I do mostly vintage-looking quilts with vintage fabrics. Would the big stitch be OK to use on them for a good overall look? Thank you again.
I like the way this looks and it would be fun to try. I wonder, though, if the stitches would "catch" on something when the quilt was being used. Any problems with stitches catching and breaking?
I really like the look out big stitch quilting. what is the quilt pattern behind you? What a fun animal pattern. I loved the colors in the quilt your quilting as well.. beautiful. Thank you so much. Blessings everyone and happy crafting/ quilting.
I’ve seen some quilters say they don’t tie knots in the thread because the thread will conform to the batting. What do you think of that? Also, your lines are so close together. What is the rule of thumb? Thanks

Can I say your video was a joy! You get right to it. Most videos take 25 minutes to get to the actual sewing. I’m bored long before that! Thank u!!
This is a beautiful quilt and you are a wonderful relaxed down-to-earth teacher. I like to watch your videos before I start each day to remember to be calm and enjoy the process. Thank you for showing us the joy of quilting! 🙏🏻
Finally, a video that shows the underside of the needle working! Thank you!
The thing I love about your videos is your relaxed attitude!!! I am VERY new to sewing/hand quilting (I have hand pieced half the blocks of the quilt I am working on, which is my first) and as I am reading/watching tutorials, I have been feeling discouraged due to such heavy emphasis on PERFECT technique and finished product.

It's supposed to fun - right? :-)
Thank you for your comment "I like to go slow ... and enjoy the process." What a refreshing attitude to introduce into my busy busy life.
as a beginner this method looks a lot simpler than the regular quilting stich (as in your 1st video). This way looks a lot more relaxing. Thank you.
+karen mckinna I really, really love it. It can feel a little weird to use both hands at first, but you'll get used to it pretty quickly.
Oh I am so excited about finding this video! I finished a bow tie quilt top for my son and his wife over a year ago and was wanting to hand quilt it but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted it to look like finished… THIS IS IT!!!

Hi Wendi and thanks a lot for your generous tutorials. I’m sure that one day, I will make something with big stitches. 😎🌸
Love your method and the final look of this long stitch quilting. Kudos to you!!!!

I can't wait to try this technique. The effect is really pretty.
I recently started trying Big Stitching and I'm finding that I truly enjoy going slow too - totally enjoying the process!!!!!
Your tutorials Wendi are so good. You a wonderful ability to make techniques simpler and easier to follow. I am a BIG fan!!

As someone who really loves the more informal styles of quilts, I really like the final look of this! A very interesting technique!
+Donna M. Schmid It's also really fun to do! :-)

Thanks I really love the look of the big stitch quilting. Again thank you for sharing. I will be using it for a lot of my quilts.😊
I've made one quilt using big stitch quilting and loved the look. I've learned a lot from your presentation of your technique.

Relaxing 😌 🪡 🧵 and the beauty coming together in the process
I love this technique! Will refer back to this! Thank you Wendi! Love your quilt as well!!
Thanks for sharing I love the look of this stitch and wondered how it was done.
Nice demonstration, thank you. I've been wanting to try this, really like the look it gives.
Would love to see the finished product in both front and back 💜 it looked amazing from what I seen.

Your video has been so helpful! Thank you for sharing.
Luvving that animal quilt...got more shots of that project?
Reminds me of sashiko type of stitching. Very nice!
Thank you! Thank you! That's just the technique I've been looking for! 🤩👍😁
I like this method better. The other videos made it so intimidating.
Very lovely quilt, like this technique. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! I will practice the ending knot - you make is seem so easy!
Love the look of this
I love these stitches!
Very good. I have a couple of projects that this will work for, I think. Thank you so much!
Very nice technique and give more options. Thank you for sharing.
I love this quilt with larger sticthing. I cant see well to do much hand quilting.Or at least the proper way, but I can do this I think?
I'm wondering if I can use a large quilting hoop? To do this kind of quilting? Or do I need a different one?
Thank you for this video the tips are great❤

If you go to the companion blog post (link in the description) you'll find links to the quilting frame I use, and also the thread I use. 🙂
Hi and thank you very much! 😎🌸 You explain really well!
I really love your video, totally inspired, thank you!
I'm very excited to try this. I purchased a frame over the weekend and almost have my top finished. Question: is your thread folded where you are using 2 strands? Also I have a ton of DMC floss I would like to use up. Should I use 2 strands folded over to make 4? Thanks for any help. I love the look of big stitch quilting!!
Also, I like your presentation. Well done.
thank you for such a happy quilt love the look 😁😀😊☺
Something to thing about, thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Thank you so much. I live the idea of the big stitch quilting will use it with quilt kit by kaffe fasset sead packet quilt kit xxxx❤❤
Excellent instructions thanks
That is about the coolest quilt Ive ever seen! You really did a great job! I am new to quilting, I am going to try the big stitch style because I have very bad eyes and its much easier to see. I still havent bought my hood though as the ones Im looking at are the "no slip" plastic type and Im not sure if I should get a 14 or 17". Any advice would really help.
Thanks so much! I use the 17 inch hoop and really like that size. The quiltable are inside is actually more like 15 inches.
I love this quilt 👍👍👍👍
Oh, I LOVE both your big stitch AND your WONderfully relaxed attitude. Thank you for another Great tute. 👏😍. If I big stitch without a frame and use a thimble, is it acceptable to make multiple stitches at a time, or does that technique work well only with small stitch quilting?

Beautiful!
Yay! I have been waiting for this! It's super duper!!
I like the way this looks and it would be fun to try. I wonder, though, if the stitches would "catch" on something when the quilt was being used. Any problems with stitches catching and breaking?
I am wondering the same thing. I worry that these bigger stitches might end up being "toe catchers." Is this not a problem?
I really like the look out big stitch quilting. what is the quilt pattern behind you? What a fun animal pattern. I loved the colors in the quilt your quilting as well.. beautiful. Thank you so much. Blessings everyone and happy crafting/ quilting.
That's my Cuddly Cats quilt pattern. It's really fun to make. :-)
Love this technique. TY!
Love Big Stitches
VERY GOOD DEMO and explination
Thank you for tge tutorial! Can you machine wash a hand quilted quilt?
I’ve seen some quilters say they don’t tie knots in the thread because the thread will conform to the batting. What do you think of that? Also, your lines are so close together. What is the rule of thumb? Thanks
