Helen, this was simply amazing. I have tried to do some hand quilting, but was completely in the dark. You turned on that little light bulb in my brain. You make it so simple and easy, yet beautiful ... now, if it will just work the same way for me. I'll be keeping an eye out for more tutorials from you.
Hi Helen. I just love your manner in teaching. You are easy to follow and you explain things so well. You also make it look so easy. I just love watching you and think that you are one talented lady! Love to hear you great accent too. Many thanks to you and to A.P.Q. for this fantastic video tutorial, I will definitely have to try this in hopes it turns out as nice as yours. I am thinking quite a few practice sandwiches. I love the design. Thank you again and many hugs to you Helen. Claudia
This is the first time I’ve come across your channel, and I love it! This is an ingenious technique to put those curls in on any quilt! I’ll definitely be trying this! Thank you so much!
I wanted to say thank you so much for this instructional video! I am a beginner on a mid arm quilting machine & the roadmap tutorial made it easy to follow along & implement into my quilting! It’s far from perfect, but it doesn’t look half bad...I know it will improve with more practice, & this is a great start!
I can see using this with my longarm too in order get very pretty all over design that I’m sure will be balanced throughout the entire quilt! Thanks for sharing this!
Wow that looks smashing! I wouldn't mind having a go at that, even though I've only got an ordinary sewing machine it looks like it would work. Thank you so much.
I can’t say thank you enough. I’ve been agonizing over how to do an all over design on several quilts. I was going to buy some stencils and use the pounce pad. This is brilliant. I have a Panda pencil and I love it.
This is an awesome technique. I always get intimidated by just freehand swirls like other videos show. I love to have a template when I FMQ and this is so easy to modify to fit the space!
Just located your channel !! thank you so much.... was an awesome video this is so simple, it’s almost unbelievable...... thank you thank you thank .... Looking forward to more tips in Quilting... Lorene from Kentucky USA
Good video! I like the idea of marking your quilt while you are in the process of gaining confidence in your free motion skills. As far as marking tools go, I’ve found that the color Bohin chalks stain. The whites are fine, though. Just a reminder to check every new tool you use.
Oh my goodness Helen this is amazing, I have a sweet sixteen but struggle quite a bit ! I think I could do this with lots of practice, flows so well. Love from Tasmania.
Hi Sheila the reason you bring the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt when you start to FMQ is so the bobbin thread doesn't make a jumbled mess on the back of your quilt
Thank you so much for this! I started with a small project & it turned out great...I’ve moved on to applying this technique to my quilts & no matter what I do, the weight of the quilt creates a heavy drag...it doesn’t flow smoothly...any suggestions?
Where would one find those Panda pencils? I have tried numerous white markers, but they don’t give me the result that I desire. I would love to try something new. Great technique. Thank you.
That was the most amazing technique. I can’t wait to do this on a quilt sandwich that I have looking at for weeks. What a relief to find this video!!!
Wow. That's a game changer for a beginner. Thanks so much
Thank you for your video. I never know where to start when quilting. Please do more of these.
I think that is the best all time video to help us quilters struggling with fmq. Thank you!
Giving me such inspiration to try free motion quilting with out stiching in the ditch. Love your work.

What an Absolute wonderful idea. I’m going to give this one a try. Thank-you for sharing.
I have not seen this technique. It was very well explained & easy (LOL...@ That is until I actually try it. Thank you
Oh my goodness Helen this is amazing, I have a sweet sixteen but struggle quite a bit ! I think I could do this with lots of practice, flows so well. Love from Tasmania.

Love this. You have made this look so easy and simple.
Love your helpful tips.
Amazing. Thank you so much . I have trouble doing the echo style. this is the answer for me.
Love this idea, is there other designs that could work?
I really like that technique! Thank you for sharing!
This is a great strategy! I really struggle with figuring out what pattern to use when I quilt.
You made that seem so easy! Thank you!
Thank you . Don't look as hard this way . Wonder if it would look good on embroidery squares
Great tutorial!!!
Thanks Helen this is sooooo helpful . You are a star XxPat nz
WOW!!! 😍 Mind blown 🤯🤯🤯 Thank you so much for sharing this technique ❤️ I can’t wait to try this!!!! 😃🤗
Love this. Saving my pennies to purchase a Sweet Sixteen.
That really does make more sense than some I've seen. Tell me, though, what is the purpose for creating that loop of thread at the beginning?
Hi Sheila the reason you bring the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt when you start to FMQ is so the bobbin thread doesn't make a jumbled mess on the back of your quilt
Brings up.bottom thread so no mess underneath
Love this technique! I'm leary of using "iron away" pens as I've heard the lines can re-appear down the road. Have you ever experienced this?
I love this tutorial!!!! What a great idea. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I started with a small project & it turned out great...I’ve moved on to applying this technique to my quilts & no matter what I do, the weight of the quilt creates a heavy drag...it doesn’t flow smoothly...any suggestions?
Here's another video with Helen that gives tips for supporting your quilt. th-cam.com/video/Wktzw6wRMFI/w-d-xo.html
Ill have to invest on a Panda pencil too... thanks for the tip.
Love this design. Thank you for sharing 🌻
Absolutely brilliant!
Lovely. I'm always afraid to machine quilt and end up quilting by check. Thanks for the help!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for simplifying this for me. Is that a darning foot you're using?
Absolutely genius. I’ll be using this soon. Thank you so much.
This is brilliant!
This is so cool! Thanks for the great Tutorial!
this is awesome! thank you for sharing this technique.
Great idea!!!
The actual tutorial starts at 2:22
Absolutely and awesome design!
A great tip! 👍 thanks for sharing
I'm excited to try this!
I love this!!!!!!
Very impressive. More please?????
Thank you for a great tutorial!
Where would one find those Panda pencils? I have tried numerous white markers, but they don’t give me the result that I desire. I would love to try something new. Great technique. Thank you.
Hi Donna - Helen sells them on her website here: helengodden.com/product/panda-marking-pencil/
Very nice!!
Great information!
looks easy is it ?
That was amazing. Thank you.
Cute: No pandas injured in the making of the pencil. Oh wow! What a great idea--- the map!
Can you do this with a regular sewing machine by removing the foot and just using the needle?
Hi! If you have a free motion setting on your machine, it should work. You'll need a free motion foot and the ability to lower your feed dogs.
Brilliant. Thank you!
How do you baste your quilts?
Great info. Thank you 👍😁
Can you do that with other designs?
Amazing
