Thank you for this tutorial.You have saved my current project!
Love watching your shows I am a newbie to quilting and more so machine quilting have lots of practice samplers but don’t look even
Love the glide thread
Received 2 Angela packages this week! I'm excited to get started, Friday can't come soon enough!
yay!! We have been shipping like crazy! I am so glad you are quilting along with me!
I can’t follow live because I was still at work but I got straight to it when I got home. I’m a total, 2000% free motion beginner. It was lots harder than it looked. I laughed at myself a few times and just reminded myself to have fun
That's exactly how you do it! Just keep going!!
Yes! Just keep your sense of humor and you’ll get there!
I have been quilting a Tradewinds quilt using your rulers/wishbone/meander designs and wondered, how to quilt the outside border. Then I watched your episode on woodgrain Wednesday, and that was all I could think about in that border. So I did it and rounded the corners as best I could and used some echoing!!! It isn’t perfect, but I like that design and proud of myself for trying. Thank you Angela, I always learn from your videos.
I love the wood grain quilting. Can't wait to get started!
I LOVE the Glide thread
Excited to give this a go!
You! Are amazing!! I watch you and say to myself,”you can do this!” # inspiration Thank You
You CAN do this!! Thanks for watching!!
I love this quilting motif!
Great design and colors, thank you Angela!
I haven’t done any machine quilting as I too afraid to start, but the way you teach this, I think I can give it a try. I’ll practice first. Lol thank you so much for your lessons. Have been following you for a few years now. Love the way you teach. ❤️
You always make me feel happy and inspired, even late at night when everyone’s asleep and I’m winding down. You are my go to person!
Aww I am so glad that you find it helpful! I am so fortunate that I get to do this :)
Thank you Angela, for your relaxed and instructive teaching. Every video is so helpful, and this one was another incredible video for a beginning machine quilter!
This looks like so much fun!
Awesome Angela!!! Great design! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!!
I just love the look of this design. Excited to get going on it! Thanks Angela.
You can do it!!!🙂
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for doing both , Longarm and domestic types of quilting.
Thank you so much Angela! I learn so much from each video and you give me the confidence to believe I can actually do this!! You are the best teacher!! 💕
WOW!!!!
Angela this is great!
Thankyou for your lovely videos i like this patter you make it look so easy
This looks like so much fun! I've never tried the woodgrain design - learning something new!!
Thank you!!!!
Omg! So happy to have found your videos again!! I have seen ALL of the Midnight Quilt show episodes. You’re so amazing.
Beautiful! Love this design!
Thank you! 😊
Angela, thank you so much for this. I love all the little tips you give us along the way.
I am so glad that you find it helpful!!
Angela, you’re wonderful. We love you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your explanations are so clear and easy to understand. I will try this today on a freshly finished quilt top. thanks again.
Thank you for all the resources you have provided us with!!!! You are the best!!!!
Thank YOU for watching!!! I really appreciate your support!
Oh I can’t wait to try this. Love the look of it. Great demo Miss Angela. ☺️
Angela, you make it look so easy. Such beautiful work!
I have practiced it just a few times! You can do it too!!
I can't wait to try it
Thank you so much Angela! You have given me the confidence to try this design. You rock!!
I'm so glad! I promise that it just takes a little practice.....soon you will be a pro!
Love this so much. As always, you make it look so easy. I am going to put this on the longarm and start practicing! Thanks again! 🥰
I have loved your machine quilting videos for a while and your swirls are my favorite. This wood grain is great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Aww, thanks so much for your support!
Such lovely stitching! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
You make quilting look so easy.
It's because I have had just a little bit of practice 😏you can do it too!!
Can't wait to get started. Thank you Angela for such wonderful instruction and encouragement! You are simply a gift to us quilters.
Aww! Thank YOU for your support!!!!
I had the good fortune to meet you several years ago at your shop in Liberty, MO. I recently (finally!) purchased a long arm and am so excited to learn from you how to “get good” at using it for quilting. Thank you for your “people pleasing” personality. (That was how you described yourself to me when we met. :-) ) Your enthusiasm is definitely contagious!
Love your enthusiasm and your authenticity! Thank you for sharing your expertise. You're a great teacher!
You are so welcome!
thank you Angela, this is pretty cool!! I am super excited!
whoo hoo!!
Amazing! Going to practice then try it on the light pink area!!! Thanks 🌷
That was the very best explanation of how to quilt wood grain! I love it, thanks.
Georgia, you are the sweetest encourager! I sent a goody your way!
It is a good pattern for a masculine quilt.
Wow Angela! You made it look so easy. I did my first practice piece on scraps and wow, it was kind of tricky, but fun! 😁 Great use for those long strips of fabric and batting we trim off a quilt top by the way. I started with contrasting thread and it really showed my flubs. That was actually helpful. Then I kept watching and pausing this video and comparing it to my piece. I tried again and also used matching thread. It's looking better. I'm improving, plus I can focus on the texture instead of the thread color. Thanks for helping us share in the fun!
Thank you for this challenge! I have tried doing the Woodgrain motif in the past but wasn't sure I was doing it right. Your instruction put me on the right path, so to speak! Came just at the right time too: I needed to work on a small quilt that I made from scraps "Jelly Roll Race" style. The linear orientation of this motif is a perfect fill for the project AND I got another chance to exercise my rusty FMQ skills!
I’m always looking for quilting designs I can use on my longarm. Thank you for showing that also!
thank you for this challenge, Angela! It's timely - I just stepped into a Handiquilter Amara and I've been having fun with it! This helps me grow my stitch library!! :)
This is great. Thanks, Angela. Before I dive into the panel, I'll practice with your training wheels fabric and turn that into placemats.
They are so much fun to quilt!
Just watched & so excited! I love the woodgrain fabric. (I need to order). I plan to "practice" & "practice" this technique & have quilted pieces to make potholders & placemats until I get smoother.. 😊 thank you!
Boy am I glad you showed us how to fill in space. First try was not so great. 2nd try was better.
And each one gets better after that! Keep it up!
Hi hi Angela, I bought your book, free motion quilting work book, I love it, I can practice in pencil, and then practice again on cloth, it has help me so much! thanks for all your videos
Thank YOU for your support! I love that I get to do this!
What a great video. I’m going to practice this on a 18x20 piece and then maybe I’ll be ready for my Tree quilt. :). Thanks Angela!
Can’t wait to try this one. Lol my husband the woodworker said to many knots. Not a good piece of wood. 🤣🤪🙄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Tell him it’s bird’s eye maple.
That's hilarious! Tell him that it's ok to be "knotty" 😇
@@melanezoe ❤️ he does love that Birdseye maple
Thank you for this great tutorial! It answered some questions I had about how to manage this design. Love that you include tips on how to get out of mistakes like oops spaces or lines getting too straight. I seriously need to get brave and try using manual mode on my longarm like you do.
You don't have to go to manual mode...unless you want to ;)
Wow Angela! This quilt along is just what I am looking for. I have been quilting for about 5 years and have lots of tops to quilt. I have a beautiful Bernina 550 QE just waiting for me to get the gumption to get fmqing. I also want to get more creative with walking foot quilting. (I watched your video on walking foot quilting. Excellent. It opens up the possibilities to me. I appreciate your recommendation to see Jacquie Gering's Craftsy video for more information.)Thanks so much for generously providing this video series for the Flora and Foliage FMQ Along and the resources linked to the videos. The resources are fantastic. I also love your fabrics that you designed.
This looks so interesting. Will have to practice a lot
I promise that it just takes a little practice :)
Ok....my first time fmq! Get ready and here I go! I will post my work on FB
Yes!!!!!! You can do it!!
Wow I’m super scared to try this but I’m going to try it!
Do use the edge of the machine foot as a guide to the width of your echo, and spacing between rows
Hello 💕 so good to see you
It's so good to be back!!
Very exciting project. Anxious to get started. :-)
Yay!!!!!!
Love the look of the woodgrain, but I'm also nervous about the complexity of the design. Hopefully with your tips, I will be able to climb this (woody) mountain. Fingers crossed. Thank you!
Just keep going and filling in the area, I promise it will look great!
Great tutorial but I’ve never done any fmq so I think I’ll start with something easier
I have not used that type foot yet it is in my supply of feet. Is it done the same way? Just lower the feed dogs and do free motion. This is as opposed to the spring loaded feet which feels so they skip a lot. Thank you for hints from the community. This is going to be so much fun
You can use any FMQ foot, I just leave this one on all the time :)
I would like to know if you plan ahead the quilting you want to do on the whole quilt or if you kind of decide when you change section. (I don't know if my question makes sense since english is not my first language!)
I love your work ....I tried is today for the second time and got it! Now to practice so I get get mine to look as good as yours! where may I ask did you get those gloves you use?
Never mine...found them! Regis grip quilting glove
😀
Im going to use pillow panels
perfect!!!!!
Quilting the pillow panel. Could you describe where each quilting design should go on the panel ? Thx.
How do you keep your stitches that perfect without a stitch regulator? Or, does your machine have a built-in regulator?
@Angela: I am confused as to which direction the woodgrain should go. Looking at the picture on the Week 1 tips, the area where we're to use the woodgrain goes across the top and down the right side. Should the woodgrain all go in one direction? Meaning across the top it's horizontal, and down the right side it matches the top direction and is also horizontal?
You can do it either way, but I find that it's much easier to have to woodgrain go in the same direction. This is such a great question, I will address it during my live chat!
my freemotion foot "hops" up and down, is the foot that Angela is using a different type of foot?
I have a different panel (for practice). I have a large area where the woodgrain works AND an area that has a "1 -2" area on the side that is about 8" in length. I don't want to quilt the woodgrain in a different direction. How should I fill it?
I’m interested in the gloves you are wearing!
They are amazing! Here's a link to more information: quiltingismytherapy.com/product/machine-quilting-gloves/
Just a question why do you think i've had so many skipped stitches with this design when i've never had one before. Could it be moving too quickly. Bernina B570 freshly serviced.
Is this a good place to start for the absolute beginner? or is there another FMCQA of yours that you would recommend starting with? You make it look so easy!! Thanks for all your tips and encouragement!!
You can start wherever you want! If the woodgrain seems too tricky, start with wavy lines then gradually add the knots.
Oh my goodness, where can I find the pattern to this. Miss not having craftsy/blueprint where I purchased all my patterns and materials. Ready to join back into quilting after blueprint stopped. Any suggestions?
Angela, what type of batting do you recommend for this project?
I used quilters dream poly batting, but any quality batting will work!
On a longarm, would you load the quilt so that you can do the longest part of this design without advancing and then fill in the other area later after you have advanced the quilt?
Yes! This is exactly how I quilted it! I will talk about it during my live chat tomorrow.
Thanks for asking this, I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out which way to pin this on my leader!
Do you spray your quilts with the 505 sray?
No, I use fusible batting, but 505 spray works as well!
Can I ask,what are the name of your quilting gloves?
How do you see behind your needle? Maybe I need to lower my chair?
What kind of n
Machine are you using
I'm confused at which direction is best to quilt the woodgrain design in this area........... horiz lengthwise beginning at the top or vertically which would mean when you get to the side you would be doing a very long grain.
Front/back on domestic (reg) machine, left/right on longarm. Unless I misunderstood your question. 🌷
I quilted it all the same direction, even though the area gets smaller on the side.
Anyone tried these on a large quilt, on a machine that only has 6"-8" throat? Just wondering. No way could I get my right hand so spread out on any machine I have.
When I do and reposition my hands I get a jerky bit on my quilting.... How can I get over this....
Make sure you stop the needle completely before lifting your hands.
If you have needle down option on your machine, FMQing is a great time to use it. That way your needle is down when you stop-then you can lift your hands to reposition.
How do you download the pattern.

What is "echoing"?
Echoing is quilting the same shape a set distance away. For instance, I quilted the wavy line, then I echoed it by quilting the same shape 1/2" away.
@@AngelaWaltersfmq Thank you so much! I'm sure it's a very basic thing to know, but I just couldn't understand what it was. God bless!
