You are the first person I've seen who uses the Coats and Clark thread. Makes me feel much better about using it. It's something I can afford. I really enjoy your videos and your great explanations. Thank you
Love quilt. Your walking foot should have quilting bars with it which would allow you key off of your first marked line. I agree that preferences are just that. However, I would observe that 30Wt thread on complex blocks with seam convergences might add unnecessary bulk.
I have been quilting for probably close to 25 years, I appreciate you sharing the marking tool! I have tried many types of markers, chalk, pencils, love this method with no 'ink'. I also love straight line quilting. Great tips.
Just discovered you today. And what a game changer this and the glue basting video are. I am one happy camper indeed. I have more than 150 quilt tops ready for quilting, but felt they would always be just quilt tops because of the high cost of a long arm. I feel very blessed because of the work you have shared. Thank You
What I love about you and your quilting videos, is you are so relatable, and down to earth. Like the majority of us quilters out here. You prove you don’t have to have high end quilting tables, and equipment. You use what you have and made it work. I so enjoy watching you!
Love your video on glue basting and straight line quilting. You are a natural at teaching! Love your rebellious nature. Looking forward to see all of your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience and skills.
Omg i didnt think i would like straight line quilting. It is so beautiful on this quilt. But now i dont know if i like the back or the front more. They are both so fun and stunning. But that backing fabric is simply gorgeous Miriam. I would love to just slap front and back with this and do straight line quilting on it. I dont get excited much about fabrics but that backing is somethin else. Hugs and much love
From one quilt instructor to another…YOU are a fabulous teacher. I am new to your tutorials…and after 35+ years of quilt making, I have learned some technique I have never tried! I look forward to enjoying future tutorials! Do you have a video where you tell your viewers a little bit about yourself?
Oh my goodness! What a HUGE compliment! Thank you SO much! I don’t have a video like that, but maybe I should make one ☺️ thank you for the suggestion! 💖
@StitchObsessed oh yes I would love to know more about you and your quilting world. And your kitties of course. Lol you make me feel so comfortable when I'm watching you. Like it's a friend that has come to quilt with me and laugh and tickle the kitties
I have been quilting since the 1990's. I enjoy your channel and your fun way of explaining techniques is refreshing. My go to marking tool for visible lines is a sliver of soap. I keep small pieces of soap in white for most fabrics and green for white fabrics. It is always guaranteed to wash out, never fades away or disappear and does not brush off like chalk. If i may make a suggestion, it might be helpful for newer quilters to mention your stitch length setting as this is a question that is often asked. I personally have the same machine as you and use 2.5 for piecing and 3.0 for quilting.
I have two Hera markers. One is quite old, my mum in law gave it to me. And, I haven’t used either! I am inspired to try it. And I may try your pattern, too!
I’ve not tried that thread for machine quilting, but I will! Want to recommend, though, that when I do English Paper Piecing, I use 40 weight hand quilting thread (Gutermann). It is so much stronger, and also doesn’t seem to get weak or snap.
I love the way you explain things. When you show your hands going back-and-forth to show how an even feed foot works was so literal but I think I could be mentally challenged and still understand it. I also like the little giggle you add in once in a while it is very endearing. It takes a rebel to think outside of the box. I really love your glue basting technique.
This is the most informative straight line quilting video I’ve seen. Thank you, I always want to see exactly how it was done. You are a great teacher. Also, love, love, love the pattern.
I adore Miriam. She can teach a professor of quilting. Her work is awesome and any other fabulous adjective I can come up,with. BEAUTIFUL FABULOUS QUILT MIRIAM
I love that quilt!! Am drawing lines on the quilt I just glue-basted per your instructions in the first video of yours I watched. Thank you for all your work!!
I've been told to always start in the center of the quilt. I am getting ready to quilt a big trip around the world quilt with my domestic machine. I was going to do short runs from the center out...but your method looks a lot simpler. This will be my first machine quilting.
Since I glue basted, I don't really need to start in the center. If you pin baste, I would recommend starting in the center. The glue holds the layers together so there isn't any shifting while quilting. I hope that helps! You've got this!!!
I really like the Hera marker but my old eyes not so much. Just finished up several lap size quilts for Christmas gifts and did straight line quilting on them. So much faster! I used the Mark b gone so no worries of it coming back… Thanks for another great video
I’ve not been quilting for long but I’m about to quilt my first HUGE quilt. You’ve just saved me!!! Sending my many thanks and appreciation for your fabulous tutorials. ❤️❤️
The quilting turned out amazing! Such a simple design, but looks much more complex due to the squares and how the lines intersect! Beautiful quilt! Thanks for the very helpful how-to!
Oh my goodness, yay! Thank you so much! I’m hoping to have it out by the end of November! Just waiting for the physical copies to be printed and delivered! 👏🏻
I'm actually piecing a quilt right now that would work really well with this method. Thank you so much for sharing with us! ❤😊 PS. Your fuzzy assistants are ADORABLE.
I'm so happy to have come across your channel. I know nothing about quilting & I'm intimidated about starting a project (starting off small with a wall hanging) Your down-to-earth tutorial has given me motivation that I should just dive right in. No need of studio frills & things. Thank you so very much. You have great teaching skills and your quilts are beautiful.
I just recently found your channel and have learned so much from watching a few videos. I’m inspired to start quilting again! You do an amazing job teaching!
I am completely new to sewing and have had no interest in quilting whatsoever. But after watching this video and your video using Elmer’s glue for basting (didn’t even know what basting was before watching that), you’ve made me want to learn to quilt.
Very nicely done. As I could tell the quilt and batting never shifted. Great job. This makes me want to do a small square quilt. Hopefully after I finish the 2 I've got to do. 😊
Your cute helpurrs need to meow when the bobbin is close to empty. 😺 You did get very skilled help stabilizing the end of the board for the second marking...and keeping it weighted down was a plus! They are so cute! I really like the quilt pattern and the way you quilted it. I enjoy you and your videos so much!
Thank you so much for the tutorial I’ve never done this kind of quilting before. But I’ve always wanted to do it just never knew how I really appreciate this lesson I’m excited about my next quilt because this is the way I’m going to quilt it and now I know how to do it thank you so much❣️🧵✂️🪡💗💕💖💓❤️
When I first started straight line quilting, I used painters tape. I know that struggle all too well 😂 so glad you found this video to help! Thanks for watching! 💖
Hey, watched you run out of bobbin thread and it reminded me: when I get ready to sew, I load up like 7 bobbins, and stack them on the second spool pin on the top of the machine. They are ready to go and don’t have to wind them later!
What a comprehensive video on straight-line machine quilting! I have been quilting since the late 1970s, (I was a teenager at the time) and still primarily hand quilt my projects, but this video is inspiring me to give machine quilting another go. I was looking at your stitches to try to figure out what you set for your stitch length. Was your machine set at a 3.5 or 4.0? Oh, and btw, I love the jazz. It reminds me of the music used in “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Thank you for sharing such great content. And all the best with the debut of your new quilt pattern!
Hello! I always straight line quilt with my stitch length set at “3”. 💖 and yes! I’m a fan of jazz so I like to throw some into the videos! Thank you do much for the well wishes 💖
Hi, Just recently found you. Following your shed progress. I'm jealous. Wondering what stitch length you use for quilting? Love your teaching style. Very thorough and enjoyable.
I comment this everywhere: DO NOT USE FRIXION PENS!! They are not actually erasable. They are thermo-sensitive. The color/dye of the ink merely turns white when in heat. In cold it comes right back. Ask me how I know. Also, there are a number of videos about these pens.
I've used friction pins with an iron to remove the quilting lines. Off of 2 quilts and the lines were removed with the heat from the iron. And did not return even after washing but I will keep what you said in mind about not using them anyway.
Just found you by initially watching your glue basting technique and then plundered thru all your vids, opening this one. Humm, what a coincidence! Yep, old lady here & the floor method just can't happen anymore for me either and your "real home" methods are becoming my go to helpers. So glad I found you Miriam, btw Congratulations, seems your caring & sharing has elevated you to a higher calling...nice job LadyBug! The pattern for this quilt ready yet?
Thank you so much, Deborah! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! And yes, the Tiny Checkers pattern is ready! It's available as a PDF or physical copy. You can check it out here: stitchobsessed.myshopify.com/
I’ve a really done a few FMQ tutorials you can find in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLISoQM_sp_XYdgZ7N_Quilting.html Tutorials th-cam.com/play/PLISoQM_sp_XYdgZ7N_Wv9yy8AILT4ue9b.html And I’m actually going to be releasing a new FMQ tutorial later today! So stay tuned for that! 💖
Just found this today! I have a quilt top ready to quilt or TIE- I usually tie quilts. Anyway- it is a blue jean stained glass window quilt, irregular pieces, all squares or rectangles on 2" increments. I do not have Elmer's school glue. I have the backing and the batting. (got to get the glue). btw- Need this for SUNDAY- it's a raffle prize for my family reunion on Sunday. I didn't want to go around EVERY piece (lots are 2" squares), but I thought I'd just sort of randomly go around some of the squares/rectangles. it's various shades of blue jeans with black Kona cotton being the "lead" - which shows 1/2" wide. I think I'm going to quilt black right in the middle of the Kona Cotton "lead" in a random fashion. Wish me luck. :).
Hi, I’m watching your video on straight line Quilting. My question is would it be easy for a beginner to not use the ruler or the stick and just lineup your stitching from corner to corner of the blocks. Basically free handing free stitching. Thank you for your videos
Just found your video today. Loved the tutorial and found the information very informative. My question is what stitch length do you use for straight line quilting on your domestic sewing machine? I will certainly be looking for more videos as you do them.
Just discovered your channel and I've been binge watching all of them today. Love your perspective and knowledge. Do you school glue your binding and will you be doing a video of the process. Happy stitches to you 😊
Hello! Thank you so much! I actually haven’t tried gluing the binding! I should; and definitely make a video about it! Happy stitches right back at you! 💖
Hey Damaris! 💖 I like to use a stitch length of “3” for straightline quilting and I just use a universal 90/14 needle for quilting! I like to keep it simple 🤓
I found this very helpful. I purchased my hera marker Elmers Washable School Glue and I intend to try it. My goal is to quilt more and send quilts to a longarm quilter less. Thanks for showing the entire process. I noticed you did not use quilters gloves. Have you ever tried them?
Yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful! It's a lot of fun quilting your own quilts! And yes, I have tried quilters glove, and they do help. I just personally don't like wearing them very often! haha! But they do give your fingers a better grip. It wouldn't hurt to try them out!
I am straight-line quilting a large lap quilt now, using masking tape. Gonna buy a hera marker, it looks easier! Also, what stitch length do you choose for straight-line quilting?
I used to use painter's tape when I did straight-line quilting and let me tell you! The Hera marker saves SO much time and my lines look way better! haha! I hope you like it! And I use a stitch length of "3". Thanks for watching!
I would love it if you could show us how to free motion quilt using your Singer patchwork! I have the same machine and have only been able to do straight line/stitch in the ditch. Trued to use the free motion foot that the machine came with and it was a mess! Also tried to use those quilting guide ruler things ..that was a no go because I couldn't put my presser foot down ..HELP. love all your tutorials ❤
When you started your stitches after your bobbin ran out do you pull the bobbin thread up to the top before continuing? I have a problem with getting a bird’s nest on the back of the quilt whenever I start in the quilt top. Any tips greatly appreciated. You have a very welcoming channel, thanks for your tutorials and your encouragement to as questions.
First off, thank you so much! I’m so glad you’ve found my channel welcome and helpful! That’s the goal! 💖 so to answer your question, you certainly can pull that bobbin thread up, I usually don’t. If I do get that little “birds nest”, I just undo the little nest and trim the excess thread. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching and good luck! 💖
I believe this quilting is easier because you have a juki TL sewing machine. Which has a higher throat space, then most home sewing machines. I know my juki HZL LB5100 that I have does not have quite the throat space that you have on this machine. And I struggle trying to do even twin size quilts. Because of less throat space on my machine. Than the one you have, but I'm likeing your quilting method used.
Great tutorial! I also love straight-line quilting, however, when going in the opposite direction (across previous stitching) I sometimes get puckers or the fabric has shifted. Any suggestions how to avoid this? Would love to hear your comments. Thank you.
Hi, Liz! So, I found the best way to avoid those annoying puckers you need to press your quilt top and backing so they lay as flat as possible. Then when basting, making everything again, is perfectly flat. I really like to use glue basting because that holds the layers of quilt together very well. Also, when quilting, make sure you don’t pull or stretch the fabric at all. Your feed dogs should be doing all the work. I also recommend using a walking foot if you are quilting a larger quilt. I hope all this helps! Let me know if you have other questions! 💖
No, you don't have to stitch in the ditch if you're planning on doing straight line quilting like I show in this video. Good luck on your quilting! You're going to do great!!!
Just found your channel. Love how you have developed your process. At the beginning of this video, I am interested in the marking tool you are using. I kept hearing "hero" marker LoL 😆 So, that is what I searched... still came right up on top in the results. 😮oh... that says HERA marker. 🤦♀️
What a beautiful quilt! Great tips. I must have missed something. What length is your stitch and what needle are you using? Thank you for your answers.
You are the first person I've seen who uses the Coats and Clark thread. Makes me feel much better about using it. It's something I can afford. I really enjoy your videos and your great explanations. Thank you
Yes! I’m all about using affordable but good quality products when I’m quilting! Bonus when you can find it on sale!! Thank you for watching! 💖
I use it to, never tried any other brand. Works fine for me
Love quilt. Your walking foot should have quilting bars with it which would allow you key off of your first marked line. I agree that preferences are just that. However, I would observe that 30Wt thread on complex blocks with seam convergences might add unnecessary bulk.
I have been quilting for probably close to 25 years, I appreciate you sharing the marking tool! I have tried many types of markers, chalk, pencils, love this method with no 'ink'. I also love straight line quilting. Great tips.
Thank you so much, Darlene! The Hera Marker is a game changer!
going to have to look for one at my local JoAnn store, next time I get out
@@StitchObsessed
Great video! Now to try a small quilt using Elmer's glue. Old time quilter but always ready to try new things.🥰
Yay! Thank you for watching, Linda! 💖
Just discovered you today. And what a game changer this and the glue basting video are. I am one happy camper indeed. I have more than 150 quilt tops ready for quilting, but felt they would always be just quilt tops because of the high cost of a long arm. I feel very blessed because of the work you have shared.

🤯 150 quilt tops?! Wow! You’ve been a busy camper too! That’s fantastic! I’m so glad my videos are helping you! That makes me SO happy! 💖

Haha they keep it interesting, right? 😂🥰
You are a very good teacher. Thank you. New quilter, old teacher.

I have been quilting since the 1990's. I enjoy your channel and your fun way of explaining techniques is refreshing.
My go to marking tool for visible lines is a sliver of soap. I keep small pieces of soap in white for most fabrics and green for white fabrics. It is always guaranteed to wash out, never fades away or disappear and does not brush off like chalk.
If i may make a suggestion, it might be helpful for newer quilters to mention your stitch length setting as this is a question that is often asked. I personally have the same machine as you and use 2.5 for piecing and 3.0 for quilting.
Awesome suggestion, Vicki! Thank you! And I’ve never heard of using soap! Great idea!! 👏🏻
I am stealing that washi tape tip!
Also, I've been quilting for 10 years. And I never what a walking foot was. Haha. I gotta get one now. 😀
Haha! Oh yeah, you've got to get one! It really makes a huge difference!
Love your cats and the way you teach ❤️ 😊
Thank you so much 💖
A butter knife can also be used. Ise the backside
Your quilting came out really nice.
Thank you so much!

Just found you by initially watching your glue basting technique and then plundered thru all your vids, opening this one.
Humm, what a coincidence!
Yep, old lady here & the floor method just can't happen anymore for me either and your "real home" methods are becoming my go to helpers.
So glad I found you Miriam, btw Congratulations, seems your caring & sharing has elevated you to a higher calling...nice job LadyBug!
The pattern for this quilt ready yet?
Thank you so much, Deborah! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! And yes, the Tiny Checkers pattern is ready! It's available as a PDF or physical copy. You can check it out here: stitchobsessed.myshopify.com/
Hey sewing friend..I really enjoy your videos. I was wondering how you put your quilt sandwich together..I didn't see any pins. Thanks so much!
Hi, Gail! Here's a video where I show how I use Elmer's School Glue to baste my quilts! No pins!! th-cam.com/video/9BrbztHwh-A/w-d-xo.html
Great video ! I encourage you to try quilting gloves ... they are a game changer for me when quilting and machine sewing my binding
Thank you! I’ve tried gloves before. I personally don’t like wearing them, though they can help with FMQ. 💖
Great tutorial. That is a big quilt for quilting on a domestic machine. I am interested in finding out how you do that.
I assume you had spray basted your quilt? I didn’t see any pins, but thought I’d ask
Would you please do a video on free motion quilting
I’ve a really done a few FMQ tutorials you can find in this playlist:
th-cam.com/play/PLISoQM_sp_XYdgZ7N_Quilting.html Tutorials

And I’m actually going to be releasing a new FMQ tutorial later today! So stay tuned for that! 💖
Just found this today! I have a quilt top ready to quilt or TIE- I usually tie quilts. Anyway- it is a blue jean stained glass window quilt, irregular pieces, all squares or rectangles on 2" increments. I do not have Elmer's school glue. I have the backing and the batting. (got to get the glue). btw- Need this for SUNDAY- it's a raffle prize for my family reunion on Sunday. I didn't want to go around EVERY piece (lots are 2" squares), but I thought I'd just sort of randomly go around some of the squares/rectangles. it's various shades of blue jeans with black Kona cotton being the "lead" - which shows 1/2" wide. I think I'm going to quilt black right in the middle of the Kona Cotton "lead" in a random fashion. Wish me luck. :).
Oooo sounds like a fun project! Good luck! You’re going to do great! And I hope you have a wonderful family reunion! 👏🏻💖
Really pretty pattern!
Thank you! 😊
Hi, I’m watching your video on straight line Quilting. My question is would it be easy for a beginner to not use the ruler or the stick and just lineup your stitching from corner to corner of the blocks. Basically free handing free stitching. Thank you for your videos
Oh yeah, you definitely could do that! Just take it slow at first so the stitches don't "get away from you." 💖
Just found your video today. Loved the tutorial and found the information very informative. My question is what stitch length do you use for straight line quilting on your domestic sewing machine? I will certainly be looking for more videos as you do them.
Hello and thank you so much for watching! I always use a stitch length of “3” for straight line quilting. 👍🏻💖
Just discovered your channel and I've been binge watching all of them today. Love your perspective and knowledge. Do you school glue your binding and will you be doing a video of the process. Happy stitches to you 😊
Hello! Thank you so much! I actually haven’t tried gluing the binding! I should; and definitely make a video about it! Happy stitches right back at you! 💖
I've learned to wind many bobbins, so they're ready when I'm doing a big project.
Yes, that is an excellent idea! Unfortunately, I don’t think that far ahead most days 😂
This is beautiful!! I’m excited for the pattern ♥️. Question- do you have a tutorial on how you sandwich your quilt layers prior to quilting?
Thank you so much! And yes I do! You can check out my glue basting video here:
th-cam.com/video/9BrbztHwh-A/w-d-xo.html
May I please ask what stitch size you use for quilting as well as What size of needle do you use with your 30 weight thread on your Juki?
Hey Damaris! 💖 I like to use a stitch length of “3” for straightline quilting and I just use a universal 90/14 needle for quilting! I like to keep it simple 🤓
I found this very helpful. I purchased my hera marker Elmers Washable School Glue and I intend to try it. My goal is to quilt more and send quilts to a longarm quilter less. Thanks for showing the entire process. I noticed you did not use quilters gloves. Have you ever tried them?
Yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful! It's a lot of fun quilting your own quilts! And yes, I have tried quilters glove, and they do help. I just personally don't like wearing them very often! haha! But they do give your fingers a better grip. It wouldn't hurt to try them out!
I am straight-line quilting a large lap quilt now, using masking tape. Gonna buy a hera marker, it looks easier! Also, what stitch length do you choose for straight-line quilting?
I used to use painter's tape when I did straight-line quilting and let me tell you! The Hera marker saves SO much time and my lines look way better! haha! I hope you like it! And I use a stitch length of "3". Thanks for watching!
I would love it if you could show us how to free motion quilt using your Singer patchwork! I have the same machine and have only been able to do straight line/stitch in the ditch. Trued to use the free motion foot that the machine came with and it was a mess! Also tried to use those quilting guide ruler things ..that was a no go because I couldn't put my presser foot down ..HELP. love all your tutorials ❤
I'll add it to my list of videos to make! Thank you so much for watching!
Just came across you today you are so understandable thank you
cable
Thank you so much 💖
When you started your stitches after your bobbin ran out do you pull the bobbin thread up to the top before continuing? I have a problem with getting a bird’s nest on the back of the quilt whenever I start in the quilt top. Any tips greatly appreciated.
You have a very welcoming channel, thanks for your tutorials and your encouragement to as questions.
First off, thank you so much! I’m so glad you’ve found my channel welcome and helpful! That’s the goal! 💖 so to answer your question, you certainly can pull that bobbin thread up, I usually don’t. If I do get that little “birds nest”, I just undo the little nest and trim the excess thread. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching and good luck! 💖
I believe this quilting is easier because you have a juki TL sewing machine. Which has a higher throat space, then most home sewing machines. I know my
juki HZL LB5100 that I have does not have quite the throat space that you have on this machine. And I struggle trying to do even twin size quilts. Because of less throat space on my machine. Than the one you have, but I'm likeing your quilting method used.
It may take a little practice, but I feel confident you can do just as good a job with your machine! You can do it!!!
Great tutorial! I also love straight-line quilting, however, when going in the opposite direction (across previous stitching) I sometimes get puckers or the fabric has shifted. Any suggestions how to avoid this? Would love to hear your comments.
Thank you.
Hi, Liz! So, I found the best way to avoid those annoying puckers you need to press your quilt top and backing so they lay as flat as possible. Then when basting, making everything again, is perfectly flat. I really like to use glue basting because that holds the layers of quilt together very well. Also, when quilting, make sure you don’t pull or stretch the fabric at all. Your feed dogs should be doing all the work. I also recommend using a walking foot if you are quilting a larger quilt.
I hope all this helps! Let me know if you have other questions! 💖
I am starting my first quilting this weekend. One question: Do you ‘stitch in the ditch’ the blocks first?
No, you don't have to stitch in the ditch if you're planning on doing straight line quilting like I show in this video. Good luck on your quilting! You're going to do great!!!
@@StitchObsessed thank you!
I'm so excited to glue baste and straight line quilt my project! Would you please tell me what stitch length you use for this quilting?
I always have my stitch length set at “3” for straight line quilting 🤓
Your quilt is beautiful!!! Question: what stitch length do you set your sewing machine at when doing straight line machine quilting?
Thank you! I always use a stitch length of "3" for Straight Line Quilting. :)
Just found your channel. Love how you have developed your process. At the beginning of this video, I am interested in the marking tool you are using. I kept hearing "hero" marker LoL 😆
So, that is what I searched... still came right up on top in the results. 😮oh... that says HERA marker. 🤦♀️
HA! Yes, it's the "Hera" marker! It works so well to mark lines for quilting, it's all I use now! Thanks so much for watching!
What a beautiful quilt! Great tips. I must have missed something. What length is your stitch and what needle are you using? Thank you for your answers.
Thank you for watching! So I use a stitch length of “3” for straight line quilting and I just use a universal 14/90 needle. Easy peasy! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Miriam!
@@barbara-qg3kv no problem! 💖
I found it interesting that you didn't pin your quilt sandwich. Did you spray baste and if so, what did you use?
Good eye! I actually glue baste using Elmer’s school glue! It’s non toxic, cheap, and works great!
My first quilt I did spray with adhesive do I still pin
No you shouldn’t have to pin baste if you used a spray baste! Unless you didn’t use the spray for all 3 layers?
Nice job, thanks for sharing. Do you ever use the walking foot guide bar? Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t, but I know many quilters do and that seems to work well. Thank you for watching! 💖
What kind of batting are you using? Love this video. I have the same machine.
Thank you for watching! I use Pellon 100% cotton batting. It’s my favorite, and I can buy it on a roll! 💖
Whe you sew the second line do you sew in opposite direction to avoid ripples
Since I used glue basting, I don’t really worry about any rippling or puckers. But if you want to do that, you certainly can! 👏🏻
Could you do a tutorial on your binding process? 38:03
Yes I can! I’ve already got it on my list of tutorials! 💖
@@StitchObsessed thank you
