Angela, you're Sooo real and honest. I love the way you just go with the flow....and quilt your little heart out. Your hubby must know..."Happy wife, happy life", right?! Your kids are soo normal...just like they should be. They'll be fine. No worries, mate!
Angela - You are such a pleasure to watch. I love your personality! So down to earth and willing to discuss your mistakes and absolutely minimize your talents and abilities. I love your style! Super talented! thank you for all your videos and for helping us who are just learning or for those of us who are perfectionists to the point of being handicapped. Good for you! You make me feel relaxed and able.
Bonus points for Hailey. She is such a great worker. I love watching you quilt, even when I feel like I am getting motion sickness. Please keep up the great videos.
Thank you for all your videos. You are one of the few quilters I watch that makes it look manageable. I could watch you quilt all day long, it's mesmerizing!
Ok, you are the smartest person (quilter) on earth. I've probably watched 80 of your videos and I've loved every single one of them. I've made 4 quilts in my entire life, 30 years ago, but never knew anything about how to do that, and they certainly weren't "quilted". As an ear trained musician I found it easy to create any design I could imagine, but now, I'm ready to make some quilts with actual patterns, and then "quilt" them. I've been learning so much from you and it actually almost brings me to tears sometimes just watching you make these fabulous, beautiful pieces of art. Quilts are so important and I've always secretly dreamed of doing nothing but sewing and quilting. I'm just getting started as a great grandmother of 61. Still teaching music and loving it, and now I'm going to go finish cutting some fabric before I go to work playing music. I'm going to start putting my granddaughters quilt together tonight! I'm so excited cuz I feel like I can DO this, and maybe even machine quilt it too! You are such an inspiration Angela, thanks for all you do and share!
How about a little blog about how you started quilting and getting over the fear of cutting fabric, sewing and quilting mistakes. Just basically how you did it. What kept you going. You are an inspiration. Love the midnight quilting show. Can't wait for the next one. I'm almost 70, work full time and love every minute I can sit in front of my machine. Am yet to quilt my first quilt. Always send them out to the longarmer (so). But... with you on you tube beside me I'm going to try it. Thanks for your inspiration.
Please let your kids know that we really appreciate them sharing you with us! It was great getting to learn from you in Oshawa. So thank you to you, and a big thanks to your kids! Amy W.
Thanks for another great tip. I think it will take me a lot more practice to be able to see as your quilter's eye see but your tips are helping me look at the spaces differently and that is a good thing. Your kiddos are adorable!
I ENJOYED THE QUILTING,AS ALWAYS! I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET. LOL THANKS FOR INTRODUCING YOUR HUSBAND. AND I REALLY LIKE SEEING YOUR KIDS ACT LIKE WE DID WHEN WE WERE YOUNG. THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL HELPFUL VIDEOS.
That quilting at the end was so beautifully done, you made it look so easy but I'm sure it wasn't. I love watching all your videos as I am learning so much. Thank you.
I've been trying to find different machine quilters channels for a few month now. HANDS DOWN! Your are the absolute best! I always oooo and awwwe at all of your quilting. It is always fantastic! I need for Quilting is my Therapy in my life!!
It was amazing and fantastic how you quilted the block! Love it! Such inspiration! You did not have any anxiety if each part of the block was not exactly the same. There was a small variation and it was ok! I get stuck on being a perfectionist and have trouble finishing. I am working on that! Thanks Loved the video!
Wonderful!. I am just about to begin machine quilting Jenny Doan's Big Star Quilt. I've been stuck with Quilter's Amnesia. Once again, you've helped me! THanks!
I'm so glad you're doing this "daytime quilter" vlog in addition to your Craftsy show. You're lots of fun to watch and your quilting is beautiful! I want to quilt, have all the tools (except a longarm) but I lack courage to just START - LOL!!! The kiddos are darling and Chloe is your mini-me!!
I always seem to choose quilting designs that make it impossible to move around my quilts with ease. Someday I'll master that! Thanks for the fun videos. Will be watching for more!
It is your job as a parent to mortify your children. Good job, Mom! ;) You have a beautiful family. (Also, I could sit here all day and watch you quilt.)
Doh! Love the odd number rule to get to the other side! Genius! Why didn't I think of that. Love these tips. Thanks :-) Adorable kids. I swear your son is so similar to mine. Tall and blond and says the same amount of words . lol.
Your kids are amazing, gorgeous!! Angela, you are a genius, I am getting so many ideas on how to use my gammill, had it almost a year, and I can't make myself "get it". I am an advanced quilter (seasoned baltimore albums and other applique quilts), and couture seamstress, but can't make myself get on that machine.
It's hard to tell the difference between your kids and my kids at that age. The good news is that they eventually learned to work hard as they went out and got themselves jobs during Summers and college, and boy are they great workers now! Naturally, I'm taking full credit. 🤗 Love all your videos.
Angela Walters about how long does it take you to quilt a quilt free motion? I purchased a Tin Lizzie and am getting back into quilting. I sold my Handi Quilter and regret it but after watching your tutorials im excited again. Im curious which one of your dvds do you recommend buying for me to get started again? I was on your site last night and saw them. Thanks
it totally depends on the quilt and the design that you use. But if I had to guess, I'd say 5 hours or so on a longarm. I think this DVD would be best since you have some FMQ experience. quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/dvd-fill-it-up-machine-quilting-with-angela-walters
Beautiful demonstration and beautiful kids! Would love to know how you are so precise with your design placement. Perfect every time. I won't live that long.....
Love your quilting, just so inspiring to watch you as you make it looks so easy. I just hope some day to be maybe half as smooth at the quilting as you are. Not sure I'll live that long but it's a goal of mine.. and really enjoying your video's... Keep up the good work...
Thanks! It's in the book that Tula Pink and I wrote. here a link to more info about it: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/quilt-with-tula-and-angela-preorder
Angela Walters Would you believe I already have that book!? I bet that's the quilt that made me buy it. Or the fact that you AND Tula wrote it! Win/win!
Very cool! Now if I can just remember it! Love your videos (and yes, I am subscribed). I will be taking some long arm classes soon. And like you say.....Finished is better than Perfect! I so love that saying!!
I just found this channel (love your Midnight Quilt Show, you crack me up). Your kids are great, tell them thanks for being such good sports about being in your video. :)
I love to watch you quilt!! Could you address how to load and baste a quilt so it stays flat and doesn't pucker or bunch as you quilt? Am I the only one who has this problem?! It can look beautiful on the frame but sometimes (thankfully not EVERY time) when it comes off it looks as if there's too much fabric between the quilted lines even tho it seemed flat at the time I did it. I quilt on an Avante. (Love it), faithfully use the clamps and float the top. Any suggestions? You are such an encourager! Thank you for sharing your talent!
I will definitely do that! (I am working on an episode that right now). One that helps is to make sure that the backing isn't too tight. You want it taunt but not so tight that it springs back when off the frame.
I've just discovered your tutorials and LOVE them! I'm in a dilemma, caused by my need to make 'different' quilts! I just completed 2 king size bed tops, and sandwiched them together. I figured if I'm spending all that time making such a huge quilt, I'm going to get double the use. Now, I can't figure out how to quilt it! Each side is a modern geometric design, mostly squares and rectangles, made without typical blocks or borders. My initial thought was to use a very simple geometric quilting design all over, or all curved quilting to offset all the straight lines. Now I'm wondering if that's too boring, having the same design all over? I can't echo, or enhance one side, without it looking out of place on the other? Something I might have thought of when I decided on a reversible bed quilt! Any suggestions would be most helpful! Thank you so much for all your sharing! You're very entertaining and motivating!
You have great assistants! Any chance you'll be in Colorado in the near future? I love your videos, books, and Craftsy classes. Thanks for all you do for the quilting community.
I'm not a member of the Longmont guild, but my sister's house is just a few blocks from there. I will probably see you the 11th then. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! So excited!
Hi Angela. Your children are gorgeous! I love your show's Daytime and Midnight Quilt show. I'm new to Quilting and I want to learn how to free motion like you do so BADDDD! you make it look so easy. Do you ever come to Michigan? or do you give Seminars?
Another great episode. Some stinkin' cute family, some shop time, and a great looking machine quilted block in a colorful quilt. Very helpful seeing the whole block done. Do you plan your quilting patterns ahead of sewing them, or do you kind of just automatically see it and do it?
How did you do this? Your quilting techniques is really awesome. I am enjoying by see all your videos I couldn't stop myself. God bless you. One request please show how do you do batting and binding the edges of the quilt.
Love all your videos!And your lecture in Oshawa! I have watched midnight quilt show sooooo often that my son Blake who is six (he loves that his name rhymes with your sons name!) says your catch phrases around the house and makes patterns for quilts that i have to make for him . Blake loves your midnight quilt shows so much that he has made his own quilting videos and has his own channel "Blake quilts" and he would be so excited to know that you watched him. Ps. is the Sweet tooth quilt paper pieced? thanks Melissa
Incredible! You make that look so easy!!! Is there a way to find out your schedule of where you travel and teach? I’m a beginning quilter(at 46🤪) and would love to take a class with you! Do you ever come to South Carolina?
I really enjoy your videos. I am wondering what setting you use on your long arm to start and stop. I am still learning my machine... you look so effortless quilting... ps... do you ever do classes near Kentucky/Tennessee?
I quilt in the manual setting, which means I don't use the stitch regulator. the speed I use depends on the design that I am quilting. Hope that helps!
Hi I love your videos and have watched them all. I have a quick question. Is there a difference between a quilting ruler and a ruler used for cutting? If so which one should I get? Thank you. Keep those wonderful videos coming.
If quilting with a rulee, it needs to be at least a 1/4" thick. A rotary cutting ruler isn't good to quilt with because it could slide under the needle. here's a link to the ones I sell online (but any that are a 1/4" will work) quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/machine-quilting-supplies/ruler
I used the Handi Quilter straight edge ruler. Here's a link to more information about it, hope it helps quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/handi-quilter-accessories/products/hq-straight-edge-ruler-3-x-12
Angela Walters lovely. Thank you. I'm in Australia. I can't find a shipping link on your website. How can I get more info about international shipping? Ta🌸
What type of quilting would you say is easiest on the hands (aside from QAYG and walking foot). I have wrist and shoulder problems but I've been sewing more than half my life so far lol
Honestly, longarm quilting would be the easiest (besides the ways that you mentioned). If the machine is set up at the right height, it should hurt your wrist or your shoulders. But if you don't have the room or budget for a longarm, then QAYG would be the best for you. Hope that helps!!
Angela Walters that's actually the best answer I could have hoped for :) I currently only have the space for a loft bed as my work space with a fold away 6x3ft table for cutting that has to go away as soon as I'm not sewing. I want to work up to a long arm, and build a studio around one when I am no longer renting.
How do you do all the free motion and not make mistakes, I tried to do some swirls and it was a disaster, I practiced before I would try it on a quilt, good thing I did because my quilt would be in the garbage.
What machine were you using to quilt with Angela? It seems very quiet, or did you adjust the video volume? Love the quilting, by the way. But the kids take the cake...or icecream...
I noticed the background is quilted with black thread. Do you quilt all the blocks first and go back and quilt the background . or do you change thread and finish each area ?
It looks like you used different color threads to match each block. When you do that, what color do you use in the bobbin? The quilting is GORGEOUS and you make it look sooooo easy!
It's the same thickness as a regular machine quilting ruler....it could be the angle of the camera making it look bigger. Here's a link to the exact ruler I am using. Thanks for watching!! quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/hq-straight-edge-ruler-3-x-12
Angela, you're Sooo real and honest. I love the way you just go with the flow....and quilt your little heart out. Your hubby must know..."Happy wife, happy life", right?! Your kids are soo normal...just like they should be. They'll be fine. No worries, mate!

Bonus points for Hailey. She is such a great worker. I love watching you quilt, even when I feel like I am getting motion sickness. Please keep up the great videos.
Oh no! I try to make the videos not too jerky, but it's hard to film quilting lol. Thanks so much for watching.
I love to watch you quilt. I may never be as good as you, but at least watching you has given me ideas on how to improve my skills. Thanks loads
I am so glad that you find them helpful!
Thank you for all your videos. You are one of the few quilters I watch that makes it look manageable. I could watch you quilt all day long, it's mesmerizing!
I could watch this all day!
I love the format of real life and quilting segment. Thanks for sharing with us and the hard work!
Thanks! I'm trying to not bore everyone with too much family stuff 😁
I just love your videos. Your kids crack me up. They're such good sports. Thanks for all the great tips on quilting.
So nice to see your kids participating with all the enthusiasm that mine would!
Right?!?! My youngest is such a great helper though :)

It was great to see your family, and I really appreciated your quilting ideas for getting around and out of a given block. Thank!!

Great tips as always! You're definitely going to make us all better quilters! Thanks for another great video!!
Thanks so much for watching them!!
Thanks for another great tip. I think it will take me a lot more practice to be able to see as your quilter's eye see but your tips are helping me look at the spaces differently and that is a good thing. Your kiddos are adorable!
Yay! I am so glad you found the video helpful! I think my kids are adorable too, but I'm a little biased!
I love all of your videos. They inspire me to quilt and to be myself when doing anything.
Angela, it is amazing to watch you quilt! You make it look easy but I know it's not. Thanks so much for posting these videos!
Thanks! It just takes a little practice!!! Thanks so much for watching!
Love the way you SHOW you don't have to be absolutely perfect and have it look great.
Right?!?! There's no such thing as perfection in free-motion quilting!
Love love love your videos
As always, love it Angela

Great! Can't wait to try this. Sorry I missed you last week. I was so hoping you would be in your shop. Have to plan another road trip.
Oh no!! I am so sorry I missed you!
Love this family!

Thanks! I happen to think so too!!!

Thanks for watching! I promise that quilting gets easier with practice! I just happened to have a lot practice.
I was up last night piecing, and thought of you!
lol, and then a new video came out.......how funny is that?
Angela Walters too cool in my opinion.
what machine were you quilting on in this video?
I want to know about that awesome log cabin quilt on the wall! Love it!
Thanks! It's in the book that Tula Pink and I wrote. here a link to more info about it: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/quilt-with-tula-and-angela-preorder
Is there a full picture of it anywhere? Blog? Book? Stunning!
Angela Walters Would you believe I already have that book!? I bet that's the quilt that made me buy it. Or the fact that you AND Tula wrote it! Win/win!
You are so entertaining lol!
Love these Daytime Quilt Show episodes, Angela! So fun to see you in your element :)
Very cool! Now if I can just remember it! Love your videos (and yes, I am subscribed). I will be taking some long arm classes soon. And like you say.....Finished is better than Perfect! I so love that saying!!
i think you're frigging awesome!!
your kids are sooooo cute!
I think so too, but then again, I am a little biased!
Thanks again for another inspirational video! That's a very cute family you have, and don't you feel blessed to be able to take them to work with you?
I am so incredibly blessed!! 😁
Another fab tutorial, thank you. Is it wrong that I love the sound the quilting machine makes..? ⚙️⚙️🇬🇧
There's nothing like the sound of it....it means that I'm having an amazing time 😁
I just found this channel (love your Midnight Quilt Show, you crack me up). Your kids are great, tell them thanks for being such good sports about being in your video. :)
Thanks!! I'll let them know!

You have great assistants! Any chance you'll be in Colorado in the near future? I love your videos, books, and Craftsy classes. Thanks for all you do for the quilting community.
I'm going to Longmont next week!!!
I'm not a member of the Longmont guild, but my sister's house is just a few blocks from there. I will probably see you the 11th then. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! So excited!
Fantastic thank you!!
Thank YOU for watching, I appreciate the support!
Awesome video.👍
Hi Angela. Your children are gorgeous! I love your show's Daytime and Midnight Quilt show. I'm new to Quilting and I want to learn how to free motion like you do so BADDDD! you make it look so easy. Do you ever come to Michigan? or do you give Seminars?
Another great episode. Some stinkin' cute family, some shop time, and a great looking machine quilted block in a colorful quilt. Very helpful seeing the whole block done. Do you plan your quilting patterns ahead of sewing them, or do you kind of just automatically see it and do it?

Incredible! You make that look so easy!!! Is there a way to find out your schedule of where you travel and teach? I’m a beginning quilter(at 46🤪) and would love to take a class with you! Do you ever come to South Carolina?
love your quilting and love your videos. thanks for sharing what you have learned. question for you - do you use a stitch regulator? thank you....
I have one but I prefer to quilt without it.
When you change the thread color on the top, do you also change the color on the back, or just use one color for the whole back?
I really enjoy your videos. I am wondering what setting you use on your long arm to start and stop. I am still learning my machine... you look so effortless quilting... ps... do you ever do classes near Kentucky/Tennessee?
I quilt in the manual setting, which means I don't use the stitch regulator. the speed I use depends on the design that I am quilting. Hope that helps!

I really struggle with how to get from block to block without cutting my thread. I do try to leave myself an out but it’s difficult to do.
U make. It look so easy
Hi there. Love love love your videos 🌷 Pray tell, what is that ruler you used? Thanks
I used the Handi Quilter straight edge ruler. Here's a link to more information about it, hope it helps quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/handi-quilter-accessories/products/hq-straight-edge-ruler-3-x-12
Angela Walters lovely. Thank you. I'm in Australia. I can't find a shipping link on your website. How can I get more info about international shipping? Ta🌸
What type of quilting would you say is easiest on the hands (aside from QAYG and walking foot). I have wrist and shoulder problems but I've been sewing more than half my life so far lol
Honestly, longarm quilting would be the easiest (besides the ways that you mentioned). If the machine is set up at the right height, it should hurt your wrist or your shoulders. But if you don't have the room or budget for a longarm, then QAYG would be the best for you. Hope that helps!!
Angela Walters that's actually the best answer I could have hoped for :)
I currently only have the space for a loft bed as my work space with a fold away 6x3ft table for cutting that has to go away as soon as I'm not sewing.
I want to work up to a long arm, and build a studio around one when I am no longer renting.
Let me know if you have any questions when you get to that point!
How do you do all the free motion and not make mistakes, I tried to do some swirls and it was a disaster, I practiced before I would try it on a quilt, good thing I did because my quilt would be in the garbage.
the secret is to use a matching thread, that way you can't see any mistakes. 🤣 I promise that it gets easier with a little practice!
Thanks Angela
Any plans to visit NYC??
Not as of now, but I would love to come sometime!
What machine were you using to quilt with Angela? It seems very quiet, or did you adjust the video volume? Love the quilting, by the way. But the kids take the cake...or icecream...
I use a Handi Quilter Avante, but I did turn the volume down so that you could heat what I was saying.
I noticed the background is quilted with black thread. Do you quilt all the blocks first and go back and quilt the background . or do you change thread and finish each area ?
I quilted all the blocks in a row and then filled in the background. it was a pain, but it was necessary to make the quilt look good!
thank you
Love u vids
It looks like you used different color threads to match each block. When you do that, what color do you use in the bobbin? The quilting is GORGEOUS and you make it look sooooo easy!
Thanks so much!!! I use the same color in the bobbin as I do in the top. That prevents the different color from poking up through the top.
I would love to know more about ruler quilting on a home machine. where do you start? how do you find a foot for your machine? etc.
I actually put together a video that shows how to use it on a sit down machine. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/VbCLVLqA0nY/w-d-xo.html
hope it helps!
This may be a dumb question, but can you use rulers on a domestic machine? Or is it something you can only use on a long-arm?
Your ruler looks thicker than the standard long arm ruler-what brand is it found under? (I love your tutorials-I ALWAYS learn something new!)
It's the same thickness as a regular machine quilting ruler....it could be the angle of the camera making it look bigger. Here's a link to the exact ruler I am using. Thanks for watching!! quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/hq-straight-edge-ruler-3-x-12
The deal...yes, I know those deals well. :)
