    Good Morning Everyone! I recorded this video a while back as part of the free motion quilting series I did in January! You can check out the first few videos of that series here if you missed them: th-cam.com/play/PLEivWFjX-fGpu8M1G-M-D_q0eyGMXSO5r.html
    Today I'm working on a special project for this summer--I can't wait to share it with you all!

      A trick: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

    You are an excellent teacher. I’ve been away from quilting for 20 years and boy have things changed! I’m excited by the possibilities with FMQ, but for now I’m going to be trying it with my Singer 66 treadle. Dreaming of a Juki….

    I was bought some quilting ruler's and was really excited after watching how to videos, but just felt like I was fighting my sewing machine. I like how you explain everything, after watching your tutorial I'll check that I have the right foot and try again as I really like the effects. Thank you. XOXO ❤️💗💝💖👏👍

    I have only just found you and boy am I glad ! I have so much I wanna say . I finally got my big domestic machine a Janome so that it would be easier to FMQ on lately I have pieces several quilts and I’m ready to really learn FMQ. I have done a couple baby blankets with the stipple or ironed some lines in and followed that way which looked great but since I found you I have learned quite a bit. I hope that you will teach more beginner designs please. I follow everything you teach you have a gift young lady. You have another follower thank you .

  • @SewFun
    @SewFun 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you for another great video. The thing I struggle most with when quilting on my domestic machine is the bulk of the quilt. I do fine when I practice on small sandwiches but when I get to the large quilt I struggle. I'd love to see your tips for that. Can't wait to see what you are working on!

    • @veroburkellcjeffburke3973
      @veroburkellcjeffburke3973 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Teresa, I have a suggestion for you. I've made several Quilt as you go which helps tremendously with the large sized quilts. Have you tried that method? Debby (not Jeff)

    • @TinyOrchardQuilts
      @TinyOrchardQuilts  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That’s definitely a struggle!! I’ve tried some clips and stuff but the thing that helped most was just having a really big table around my machine to support the quilt and just focusing on one small area. I used to move my machine to my dining room table and take the space over for quilting! It’s definitely possible to do a big quilt though-I quilted an 80x100 quilt on my regular machine before I got my longarm!

  • @maryannecadd796
    @maryannecadd796 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I enjoyed this video, although I consider myself to be "ruler challenged". I've tried but get frustrated easily. I think I need to practice more before going full throttle! You make this look so easy so I think I need to slow down, be more patient and give her another try. Thanks for sharing your tips!

  • @laurenroller887
    @laurenroller887 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love this video! One thought - I have a low shank Babylock domestic machine and have used 1/8 inch rulers (the same width as rotary rulers) for heavily ruler quilting two large quilts without problems. The traditional 1/4 inch long arm quilting rulers unfortunately literally don't fit next to my shank so I can't use them. I'm always careful - I agree with the risks - but I think it is safe enough for those without a high shank domestic machine who want to ruler quilt and couldn't otherwise. I definitely use the branded ruler foot for the machine though and am careful with the foot pressure and ruler handling. :)

    • @m0ther0ne

    • @florencestrickland6670

      I have the same problem. The low shank ruler foot does not fit. At least the ones I ordered from Amazon.

  • @tina3247

    I have learned a lot about free motion quilting from your four videos. I love your teaching style. I appreciate the details that you give. I’m ready to start free motion and ruler quilting. What kind of thread do you recommend?

  • @melaniemckenzie1484

  • @MsChris23456

  • @margaretlewis2289
    @margaretlewis2289 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Megan. Just bought a juki Miyabi sit down long arm machine. The store is recommending only using Glide brand thread and an 18 needle for best results. Do you only use Glide thread on your Juki? Please name other brands you’ve used and were happy with results. Love your detailed info videos. Thank you

  • @kathyboggess7263
    @kathyboggess7263 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is an excellent video but I didn't see anything about machine settings but maybe I missed it. Do we leave feed dogs up for ruler work (like when using a walking foot)? And if feed dogs are up, what stitch setting is recommended to start?

  • @spiveytina
    @spiveytina 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m a beginner. Thanks for the tips. I received slim at Christmas. I have a dm, juki, the hzl f600. When I tried to place my ruler behind the foot, it clamped down on my ruler, stopping progress. A tip, once I reduced the pressure on my presser foot, there was enough clearance to quilt freely on the back side of my foot. Keep your hands and fingertips, out from under there! I quilted a straight line with my feed dogs down! Yay!

    @karenbeatty1428 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    so helpful!!! I wan to start free motion quilting but feel like ruler quilting would be a better place for me to start. I am going to buy a ruler foot and rulers but first I have to decide what (under %600) machine to buy. I have done a lot of research...what do you recommend?

    In my hunt for the two curved rulers, I went to your Pinterest and Instagram accounts. You have made and done so much for someone so young! Back to the curved rulers…I went to the Quilted Pineapple site. Found the small one (BFF - QP Curve Template). Which larger curve ruler do you have: #12, 15, or 20? Thx so much!

  • @sandybeach368
    @sandybeach368 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    should we try to quilt over/across the seams, to hold them down over time? or is quilting only to hold together the batting? (functionally speaking)

    • @TinyOrchardQuilts
      @TinyOrchardQuilts  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't know if there is a hard and fast rule here but I can tell you what I do: If I have a quilt that feels pretty fragile (hand pieced/epp/antique top for example), I will do a dense allover design. That will put less stress on the seams holding the top together since they are secured to the batting and backing more frequently. You could also do some custom-style work on it but since that so often means stitching in the ditch, I avoid it because I don't want to strain the seams any more than I have to.

  • @yasminmajors5245
    @yasminmajors5245 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @meretenormann-nielsen7036

    • @TinyOrchardQuilts
      @TinyOrchardQuilts  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I generally sew with a 1.8 when I’m piecing. It’s a lot smaller than what other people I see use but I think it gives me a stronger seam for pressing open.
