  • It starts with a line. It can be a wavy line, it can be a straight one. This beginners class series starts with a line in the middle of the quilt sandwich. Rest is pure fun and illusion of complexity 😊
    I also added some nice music @liborioconti . It is relaxing, meditative and it is similar to the music I listen to when I quilt. I hope you like it 😊

      Thank you for your feedback! I use quilting to relax and I love to push the boundaries of a design. I go at my normal speed to give the right impression about the dynamics of the process. It is real. Unfortunately I stopped using music background for now. Too many problems with the confusing claims on the author rights on music that is declared as free to use (no copy right claim). I am learning a lot.

      Hi again! Patiance is important. Sometimes I teach to a small group of ladies. And my main challange as a teacher is to make them let go of some ideal image how it should look. None of us have a long arm so we have to adjust. And the machines are sometimes quirky....so it takes a bit time. But now, after several months they are quilting and they are really good at it ❤❤❤

      I think you can. Look at it as a series of repetetive movements that are very similar. I vary between wavy lines, arches and some loops. And then I repeat.... this video is not about complex pattern. It is about having fun while repeatig a lot of very similar movements. it looks complex, but when you look at single section at a time..... it is easy.

    You make it look so easy!! I love the dimensional appearance. I’m finishing a quilt built around a rectangle and machine embroidery. I have 1 1/2” blank space at the bottom, 2” on the top, and about 5” on each side. I know this quilting would draw attention to the area, but do you think it would detract from the embroidery? If so, any suggestions for all that negative space?

    • @quiltingnerd
      @quiltingnerd  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there! Thank you for your comment! It is a tough one. If you have embroidery then you want it to be an eyecatcher. What about using a matching thread? then you can try out the pattern but make it very subtle....

      Hi,
      You know my opinion on speed up videos - they give the wrong impression!. Thank you for your great comment. I was just saying to my husband, that this is a bit like learning kung-fu in old movies. You are supposed to repeat a bunch of movements and then suddenly they make sense. The same is here. the design is accidental. I want you to concentrate more on shape repetition, echo and how small changes will impact the texture... and the best is I am learning a lot as well!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I would love to find out that a beginner can achieve something like this. I always start out so enthusiastic but during the process my stress level begins to rise and the mistakes become more frequent, which mostly ends in a disappointment. I have tried over and ober again, but apart from very small practising pieces I just cannot accomplish a decent overall quilting pattern. But I love to watch your art. Thanks for sharing.

    • @quiltingnerd
      @quiltingnerd  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Starting small is a good start. Having fun is perfect, stressing out is wrong..... What about quilting first sections thta are small enough for the enthusistic phase and then stop, wait a bit and then go on. It is not supposed to be perfect. If you look carefully, I am quilting the same shapes over and over again till I fill the space. This pattern looks so cool because it is based on repetition and semi-similar shapes. And therefore it is perfect for beginners. It is just a way line, or arch that is repeated ten times.....Sometimes I tell my ladies during class: deep breath and round thoughts.....I am keeping my fingers crossed! And I am sure your quilting is actually good❤❤❤❤❤

      The thread was 50 weight (Superior) polyester thread. I tend to use the 85 or 90 needle size. I use all three sizes but I may switch to larger size if the thread will break too often.

      That depends. I like using the standard 50 wt thread like aurifil But often I use a polyester thread for embroidery. It has a nice shine. I am not sure I would use it on a large quilt, but on a smaller projects they look great. ❤❤❤
