Thank you for introducing yourself at the beginning of your video. This is my first time watching your video and it’s so nice to know you. Knowing your personal life a little helps me personally understand you and your work and the relatability for those who are still raising children.
My pleasure!

Hello,
I just found your channel this last week ☺️ I really enjoy all the information you give on all the quilts. I’m a beginner so it’s really helpful.
Thank You 🩵
Welcome! I’m so glad it is a help to you!
I would love ❤ that!
That Bonnie Hunter quilt is a stunner! I love her color placement & the way she blended her fabrics. You always give so much insight on choosing quilting that complements the piecing.
I agree, it is beautiful!
Homeschoolers!! Yea!! I have loads of friends who homeschool in Missouri...😊😊
Best choice I ever made!
I got several good ideas for new quilts. Love the peacock backing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Helen!
Thanks for tips on photographing quilts. Should have taken pictures of all I have done!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Tammey, I just now found you by accident and happy I did. Thanks for the introduction.
I started quilting 19 years ago, I don’t pre-wash, starch and have never put water in any of my irons. My first iron lasted 17 years. Last year I started buying vintage irons (thank you Lori Holt) from the 30s and 40s and I love them. They get extremely hot, ouch, and are heavy enough to give you a nice flat block.
I look forward to watching your other videos and checking out your website.
I live the vintage irons too! And, yes, they are hot!! I have a blister on my left hand right now!! 🤕
Always always enjoy your videos. Your red gingham quilt is gorgeous. Thanks for all your info.
My pleasure!
Thanks - I so very much enjoy your videos. I am just new to long-arming and the information you share is so helpful. You have such a good eye for which pantos work with the wide variety of quilts you do.
I wish you the best Karen! It is so fun!
Tammie…thanks for all the information you share…the quilting on the quilts certainly looks beautiful…you do a great job matching the quilt and pantographs❤
Thanks for watching Loretta!
I have so enjoyed finding your channel. I am 79 years young and you inspire me. With two reversed shoulders and a stroke on the left side. If I think I can't, you tell me . . . one thread at a tike and one stitch at a time. I also used to love cross stitch. After watching your floss videos, I am thinking of giving it a try again. I am working on t-shirt quilts for family members. Thank you Tammie for all you add to my days.
Oh Noreen, I wish you the best! Thanks for sharing this with me. ♥️
Nice meeting with you today .. a pleasant way to spend free time after church today. I hope to see more of your work .. I so enjoyed this post today .. thanks for sharing your experiences and explaining your perspective on the quilting
My pleasure Arlene! Thanks for watching!
I very much enjoyed your video. I learned many new things. You are a very good presenter and loved learning a little bit about your family. Beautiful gingham quilt. I still like to quilt in the seams by hand. Making quilts is just about my favorite pastime. TY 🌷
Thanks for watching! Quilting is so fun!
Tammy, thank you so much for informing me the issues about pieced backs. I’ve had difficulty with my local Quilter cutting off designs. We’ve talked about it but she didn’t explain it as clearly as you did. I am working on a Oh Quilt right now that’s a collection of mini quilts and a piece back with history. It will be difficult for my long arm person. I am hoping it works out so I can enter it into the show. Thank you thank you thank you.
Add lots of extra fabric onto the back that can be cut away once the quilting is done. The longarmer will be able to center your quilt top onto the backing much easier if there is a lot of buffer room on the quilt back. Hope this helps.
They all look beautiful, but my favorites are your plaid and Ruth's black, red and white. Both are Stunning!!!
Thanks Carol!
Thank you for another enjoyable video. Very informative.
This was such an enjoyable video. Lots of great information and always such gorgeous quilts. Thank you so much for sharing……………….

Welcome! Thanks for watching!
This is my first time watching and such beautiful quilts and awesome quilting. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching Karen!
It sounds like you have a truly amazing and blessed life.
God has been good!
I loved your video! I now want to get material for a gingham quilt. So glad I found you. From Kentucky.
Wonderful! Have fun!
I’m a former home school Mom, from 1982-1992. What a blessing it was and still quilting.
You helped pave the way for us!! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects and all the great information 😊
Thanks for watching Esther!
Your quilts are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ I just found your channel and it's nice to meet you😁👍❤️. I'm in my late 60's and want to learn how to quilt so bad. My mom used to quilt constantly on an old tredle Singer sewing machine until I bought her a new one but she loved that old machine. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks so much for watching! Hopefully we can get you quilting soon!
I learned in my 60’s as well …I stay so busy now making quilts for 7 grandchildren …I also just found this channel. She’s wonderful
I’m planning a hand sewn denim patchwork. Usually I don’t put backing or batting on my denim patchwork because I like the floppy blanket feel.
My test pieces on this one though have made it clear that it’s going to require a backing. I just can’t make the stitches neat enough on the back side.
I’ve learned so much from your videos. They are really helping me think through my designs and when I get to that point, it will be a huge help in deciding how to best go about backing it.
I'm so glad to hear that!
Tammy this was a Very informative video. Thank you so much about adding batting with Minky, great info.
Thanks for watching Debbie!
Just found your video…absolutely awesome!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! Looking forward to seeing all your videos.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for much needed info. I’m new to longarm quilting and I can definitely use all the advice you share. Greatly appreciated!
My pleasure Kathleen!
Love your videos, they are very informative and relaxing.
Thank you Linda! I appreciate your encouragement.
Again, a love seeing the weekly quilt show. Thank you for sharing your LAQ experience. It has helped me to know how to better prepare my quilt for my local LAQ. And, also what you shared about the peacock quilting is good info to have to help understand what motif/ design of the quilting would enhance my quilts.
I'm so glad they are a help to you Pam!
I enjoy your videos so much! I can’t imagine how you accomplish all you do. Love the gingham quilt. I probably have Lori’s book, so this may be my next project. Thanks for the motivation.
I plan on making more!
All those customer quilts ...yummy...lovely quilting
Thanks Giselle!
I love quilting with minky as well, no problems.
Cute baby quilt!
Love that gingham quilt 😊 Hello from 🇨🇦 Canada
Thanks for watching Giselle!
Tammie I so enjoy listening to your explanations and rationale concerning choice and size of pants. I also really appreciated how you shared your method of taking photos of the quilts.
I'm glad it's of help to you!
I just found you this evening as I was scrolling through looking for something to watch. I love your format. I can tell you love what you do and it shows in the quilts you are quilting. Thanks for sharing you work. I look forward to more.
Thank you Kathy! I’m glad you’re here!
Always look forward to watching your videos. Love the quilt that Janet made by Bonnie Hunter - the colors that she chose go so well with that pattern. The gingham quilt was so cute and a great idea for a baby quilt. Also interesting to hear you decision making on what pantograph to use with certain quilts.
I always appreciate your comments! 😉
Nossa, cada coisa tão linda, parabéns
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful ❤️ I love red also..
♥️ ♥️♥️♥️😊
Thank you for sharing who you are. God Bless you it takes a lot of dedication to home 1 of children let alone 7.There is a woman at our Church that is homeschooling , she said its easier than waiting in lines to pick them up
With my oldest kids who were in private school at the time, I was helping with so much homework in the evening that I decided I’d rather teach them during the day so that our evenings were free. It’s a huge responsibility but gives huge rewards as well.
Thank you again for doing this video. I loved how you planned this. Your intro, the examples you showed and your long arm quilting. They all are beautiful.❤
Thanks for watching Terry!
Those quilts were pretty but I love your quilting pattern choices. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Lisa!
Nice to meet you. I am about an hour south of Indianapolis and married 38 years. Only 3 children that are grown with one 6yr old grand daughter. Only been quilting a few years. Have crocheted, cross stitched and still knit. Quilting is my newest hobby but already have quite the stash.
Hi Alicia! My kids are in a choir that meets in Martinsville, so we are down that direction every week! It doesn't take long to create a stash when there are so many beautiful fabrics out there!
Beautiful quilt finishes, Tammie. I am learning so much about the relationship between the quilting stitches and the piecing. Thanks for your take on using minke - have to say that I agree that no batting left me with a ‘limp’ quilt -still cozy and loved by the user, though 🙂.
Absolutely! Every quilt is loved!
Hello. I just found you on TH-cam. I bought a longarm machine this year so I’m just learning how to use it. You explain things very well. I appreciate your presentation. Beautiful work!
Thanks Polly!
Tammie I’m so thankful I have found you on utube. I love everything you do, I have all the same interests including long arm quilting. I only quilt for myself and family. Thank you for sharing. You give me some one to talk to. ❤️
😂 I wish I could hear what you were saying! 😊. Thanks for watching Bonnie!
Beautiful quilts! I still have and use my Handi quilter sweet 16- when I purchased it my husband had made me a twelve foot table -- we retired and moved to Florida in 2018- he had to cut my table to 8 ft to fit into a room in our new house😔 I haven’t quilted much since moving but have many smaller quilts I still need to finish. Thank you for sharing! I need to get busy!
I'm glad you are still able to quilt for yourself, even if on a smaller table. If I was in Florida, I'd have a hard time staying inside and quilting!
@@tammieearnest you are so right! I spend most of my time poolside stitching 😂
This is my first time watching. Just popped up in my UTube videos, and I’m so glad I found you. Thank you for introducing yourself. The video was very informative and relaxing… btw, your smile reminds me of Sandra Bullock’s… beautiful:)
☺️ Oh my! I’ve never had anyone say that before! Thanks for watching Victoria!
Heart spun Quilts shop has The Heartland Heritage Sampler pattern, thank you for your videos
Thanks for the info Juanita!
Your channel just came up. Sounds like a channel I would love and would encourage me to get busy and finish some UFO’s. Subbed
Welcome Caroline!
I love watching your videos! I would be very interested in your upcoming adventure!
I’m so excited Debbie! Could you send me an email at
Hello@TammieEarnestQuilting.com
So I can add your email to the waitlist.
Hi Tammy I just found your channel. I too live in Indiana. I live down south in Seymour. Love your channel.
Hello Pamela! Thanks for watching! I don’t know that I’ve ever visited Seymour. 🫣 probably only passed it on the way to Louisville. 😳
Thank you for your interesting run down on yourself and family. You have done very well for yourself. Nice to see you are enjoying yourself these days with your quilting.. something I would love to do but I know I would be able to master it. We don’t have minky i don’t think in the UK.
Oh Karen, don’t limit yourself! If it’s something you’d like to try, do it!! Cuddle is a brand name of minky. Maybe try searching for that?
@@tammieearnest ah we have cuddle blankets so I think I know what it must be . Thank you.
Definitely interested in Quilt Guild that you mentioned starting:-)
Yay Vivian! Could you send me an email at

I haven’t done Minky yet, but I love what you say about using batting. If/when I do use Minky I’ll try it with batting first 👍😊
😁
My sister in law and brother homeschooled,,,, all 3 of their children the last one is graduating this week. They are all extremely smart. My brother retired 25 yrs from the Marines got his Masters in teaching and has just retired. Now they tutor
Wow!
I made one exactly like that but black and grey with gingham for my SIL
Sounds beautiful!
Rounded diamond that you used on the red Check quilt - LUV it! I just tried it on a quilt and I didn’t run it off the sides (because my back wasn’t wide enough). That was a mistake. There were spaces open down the sides. I’m not sure I like that look and probably, I would make sure I could run it off the sides next time I use that design. =)
I agree!
Very nice I learned a lot I'm doing a minky Blanket for my grandson And I was worried about Hand quilting the binding on I think I'm gonna Machine sew it on.
😊
I am 1 hr 40 min west of Indy. We are practically neighbors 😊
Parke County?
Love your idea about an online quilt guild. Please add me to your waiting list. I work full-time and not sure if the scheduled time will work for me but with time zones, maybe it will! Thank you for showing all of those great quilts. Very inspiring.
Hi Cindy! I’m so excited for your interest! Could you send an email to
Hello@tammieearnestquilting.com
So that I can add your email to the waitlist. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! I'm so happy to have found your channel. Do you only use pantographs for your quilting designs? Or would you do custom or computerized designs? Thank you!
Hi Dana. The pantographs are all digitized. I do not use paper pantographs. Also, I do not do custom quilting for clients.
@@tammieearnest Gotcha. Thank you!
Glad you popped up on my feed! As a fellow longarmer, I enjoy hearing your thought process when choosing thread color and stitch pattern. I’m from Southwest Michigan and have an Innova 26”. I’m curious to know what brand longarm you use. Thanks!
Hi Geralyn! I’m stitching on a Handiquilter Amara with Prostitcher. I’ve owned this machine since 2020. Prior to that, I did hand guided work on an HQ16. How long have you been longarming?
@@tammieearnest I began February of 2015. Quilt for myself, friends, family, and others who’ve found me by word of mouth.
Yeah still available,
Perfect!!
Glad to find your channel. I like your design sense. Were you an art major?
No. I actually have a Business degree from Indiana University. 😊 I’m just sharing what I like.
I just found you this morning and enjoyed your video very much. The only problem is I watch it on my laptop and the volume is so low it's difficult to hear you even with my PC audio up to max. I hope this is something you an adjust from your end. Looking forward to more videos from you.
I am sorry Suzanne. I will see if there is something I can fix in order for it to be better.
Love your video! Live in Indiana too!! Love my HQ Amara with prostitcher!!
Thank you for sharing.
So fun, aren’t they? Thanks for watching fellow Hoosier!
If you can please give us some information on what makes quilting a quilt. It's not necessarily the pieces of material patterns but it's the. Sewing design that sets it up to be called a quilt...
This is a great question! I have not researched the "official" definition but here is my own interpretation of a traditional quilt. A quilt consists of three layers: a quilt top, batting, and a backing fabric. The quilt top is usually a pieced design that is made up of smaller blocks arranged in a pleasing pattern. The three layers are stitched together, either by hand or by machine, many times creating a secondary design with the thread.
BUT this is a very loose definition because quilts can be tied in a grid pattern creating a much "looser, fluffier" look. Also, quilts can also be made with one large piece of fabric with a fancy design stitched through the three layers making a "whole cloth quilt". So the definition of a quilt can be very broad.
Heartland heritage is by Heartspun Quilts.
Thanks Michelle. Do you know if it's still available? Because I don't see it on their website.
How did you make your quilting ? Is there template for it or you have this big quilting machine like Donna Jordan has?! I love this pattern!😍 Thank you if you find time for answering Tammie!
Hi Liliana! Thank yo for watching! I have a computerized longarm machine. Here is a link to some videos that show how I load and stitch a quilt. th-cam.com/video/Kp5YkplZuw4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the introduction! You possibly live pretty close to me. I live west of Terre Haute. Where are you located? I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you Tracey! Yes, I am near Greencastle. I have clients telling me there is a quilt store in Terre Haute that I should visit. Have you been there?
How do you get the print out of your design? I’d love to have a notebook with my favorite designs printed out =)
I open the downloaded file on my laptop and there is usually a JPEG or Adobe file that can be printed.
Hi! Tammie, how do you charge for quilting? If someone sent you a completed top, batting and bottom attached or do you send them unattached?
I would like each piece seperate from the others. I load them individually onto the bars of the longarm. I charge 2.5 cents per square inch. So a 50x50 quilt would be 2500 square inches x 2.5 cents = $62.50 plus return shipping costs. Here are my Longarm Prep mailchi.mp/0077e8fff634/longarmservicesinfo
I am unsure on thread color to quilt with, do you mostly use a light color on your quilts?
Is it rule to not have thread stand out on the quilt?
Thank you
Enjoy your videos
Hi Jackie! Thread color is a personal choice. I evaluate each quilt differently. USUALLY I try to blend the thread with the quilt TOP, so that may mean I use a cream, light gray, dark gray, pink, white . . . It really depends on the quilt. On one of the quilts in this video, I used a wintergreen thread that blended with the back but was visible in the top. However the top was busy so it wasn’t overpowering. But I have clients that WANT color, so I have used red thread on a black and white quilt, burgundy thread in a cream top, black thread on a farm yard print, etc
So it really is a personal choice and it does take some experimenting. I’ve been nervous a few times with bold colors but the result has been beautiful. Even white thread can stand out on a quilt top! I “audition” threads by laying them across the quilt top. Don’t over think it, you’ll learn what you prefer overtime.
i totally would love tojoin your online guild. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Linda! Send me your email address and I'll add you to the waitlist!
I never starch or wash my fabric. I have been quilting over 25 years. Only if I think a fabric will run then I wash it. Never wash flannel either. Buy good flannel and you won’t have a problem. My quilts alway wash up nice. I never put them a drier either. I always wash my quilts once it is done. That is what I do. What ever works for you.
Thanks for your input Darlene. 😊
Do you have long arm issues or recommendations concerning vertical seams on a pieced back?
If it is one long vertical seam, I will try to pick a design that is not directional so that I can load the quilt with the seam horizontal instead. If it's not possible, just be careful when rotating the quilt that the sides are pulled taut. The tendency will be for the fabric to draw up all along the seam. I have made canvas leaders with a dowel rod pocket for both sides of the quilt. I pin these along the right and left edges of the quilt and attach my bungee cords to the dowel rod. These help tremendously in keeping the fabric taut and in the correct place. You might also see my 4 part You Tube series about how I load and quilt on the longarm. Hope this helps Pam.
@@tammieearnest thank you.
Tammie how large are your blocks on your baby quilt?
I cut them 3 1/2 inches so they are 3 inches finished. ♥️
I would be very interested in your virtual Quilt guild, off, and I can’t get out to go to my Quilt meetings are sew-ins and would like to share info and fellowship.
That would be great! Here is the link to join the waitlist. The doors to the online guild will open back up in October, so be watching your email for more details!
Hi, my name is Pat. Am from Texas. My first time watching your video, and you started out wit a Sweet16 long-arm. That is what I have. My question for you is about the pentagram. Is it hard to work with?
I have Prostitcher on my machine so it is a digital pattern. There is a bit of a learning curve to understand the computer stuff. Check out my 4 part video series about longarming here on my channel. That will give you an idea of the process. I believe you could learn it!
Thank you for responding to my question so quickly. Am looking forward to looking at your videos on long arming. I enjoyed your video very much, you explain things so well. Again thank you. Happy quilting, Pat
I’m very interested in joining your online guild ❣️

I’m a paraprofessional, so we are out for summer! I am also a long arm quilter, and we use a Gammill. I will definitely visit your website, I liked what you did quite a bit. Such a good change from the videos I usually watch. Looking forward to seeing more, and I will email about that online quilt guild. Thank you, and Happy Quilting! 🧵
