So often the quilting is shown on blocks which is easier. I would like to see it done on a big quilt.
We will definitely put this request on our list for future video ideas!
Also how you join the blocks as they are quilted up to the edge of the block.
Love the butter knife trick!
I like the knife trick. Very handy. One the last one it would be much easier to draw straight lines that intersect the grid diagonally and just sew straight lines to create the diamonds. No twisting back and forth.
You are right. After we stitched it out we realized we didn't stitch it the easiest way possible!
Great ideas! Thanks a bunch!
If you're having a hard time going slower than normal with a walking foot, just adjust the speed setting that most new machines have. I'm a 'lead foot' sewer, and this helps me a lot. So, when the speed is adjusted to what you want, you can push 'the pedal to the metal' so to speak.
Excellent tip!
Excellent and robust quilting. Just what I need for the grandson's quilts. Thanks! 😊
You are very welcome!
Great instructions! Thank you for sharing this video.
You are so welcome!
Awesome walking foot designs!! I needed this! Thank you!!
Yay! I'm glad you found us.
Thank you! I do all my quilting by walking foot but never thought of these designs. Thank you 😊. And I’ve started following you!
You are welcome! We love inspiring you to try new things.
Thanks for sharing. God loves you. God bless.
You are so welcome!
I do QAYG method so your block demonstration is gold & something that I can definitely follow.
Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial
Thank you!
Thank you for the chevron tip. I've always just sewn on the grid lines in the past. Boring! ha ha Thanks again.
You're welcome! With the grid, it's an easy way to make a chevron without lots of crazy marking. You can also change the shape of the chevron by simply altering the shape of the grid.
Thank you so much 😊 it's so helpful and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
I love the designs.
Thank you!
awesome walking foot designs -- I use a Hera marker but the butter knife was a great idea!
Hera markers work great too!
So good! Thank you.
Anytime!
Love the CTR ring. 😊
Thanks :)
So cool. And inspiring! Thanks.
You are welcome!
Very smart idea to quilting
Thanks!
Nice podcast, however, I would had make sure the block was flat and ironed and not have wrinkles which get sewn into the block. Also, you might have mentioned that if blocks are going to be sewn together, you should start quilting on the edge row at 2 1/4 to allow for sewing it together, the same for top and bottom. I realize this is for examples only, but new quilters would not know these things and could be disappointed when their sewn blocks are not the same size. Thanks for instructions on the walking foot.
Great tutorials, thank you! Very clever butter knife trick. ❣️🌹 I was wondering though: did you spray baste your quilt sandwich or do you just “float” the three layers together?
Great video. Wondering how you choose grid or placement of lines. I seem to hang up at this point. I like minimal quilting so my quilts are softer . You make your designs they don’t follow the pattern it is awesome
If I'm doing an all over design and not using the piecing at all, I'll just go off of what will evenly fall across the block. For example, if it's 12" (or even a much bigger even number) I might do my lines every two inches. If it's a number that would better divide by 3, I'd choose that. Just keep in mind your batting and how close/far apart it allows you to quilt and stay within those parameters and you can choose any number.
wow, i would love instruction on making that beautiful sunny block about 2 minutes in!
You can find instructions for that block here: mollisparkles.com/2017/04/the-honey-pot-bee-april/
Isn't it easier to sew continius lines in the third example?
You can definitely sew this continuous as well and go on the diagonal in both directions. Sometimes we don't see all the options when we first design it and I appreciate you pointing this out!
After watching a few videos of walking foot and free motion foot, I wonder why not just use free motion foot for both purpose of walking foot and free motion so I only need one foot. Please help me understand why i need both. Thank you so much for your input!
If you are comfortable with free motion, you can certainly eliminate the walking foot. I usually have my free motion ruler foot on my machine, so I can easily make straight lines or free motion depending on my design.
Walking foot quilting is great for those that don't want to free motion. You can quilt a quilt without having to worry about moving the quilt around so much to create the designs or stitch length, as that's still handled by the machine.
Thank you for the ideas! I am a new quilter. Im not versed in free motion quilting yet and looking for ideas to do a nap size quilt for a friends baby.
I am sewing the entire top first then quilting.
Do you prefer quilt as you go or doing the entire top at once.
What is your favorite marking utensil?
I prefer to quilt the entire top at once. We've experimented with some quilt as you go methods and have plans to share some later, but usually we'll piece the entire top, create the sandwich, and then quilt it.
We've done a video on my favorite marking pens and when I use each one. www.onwilliamsstreet.com/how-to-mark-a-quilt-for-free-motion-quilting/ Check it out and if you have any other questions, let me know!
@@OnWilliamsStreet thank you!
I sometime use washi tape to mark the lines. And sew aling whichever edge of it.
A great idea!
If you gently push the quilt sandwich into the foot so there is a little bubble or ridge right before it is sewn, you wont have any puckers.
That's a great tip! Thank you for sharing. We'll have to try it.
Where can I find this pattern for the pieced portion? It’s gorgeous
Wonderful information! What brand of marking tool do you prefer?
I use Dritz heat erase pens or Dritz water erase markers the most. I've been very pleased with both.
How long does it take you to complete the quilting on the third block?
I'm sorry, I don't remember how long this took to quilt.
Again on the third block, is there a reason why you would not just do a diagonal grid?
Because sometimes we see better ways to do things after the fact!
Where can I download pattern?
Could you please tell me where you go the pen you used in the video please
We are using the Dritz heat erase fabric pens. I think we just bought them at Joann's, but you can likely find them other places as well. They are the pens made specifically for fabric.
Do you have a video showing the assembly of your QAYG blocks?
We don't, we've left these as just mini quilts. I know others have done videos on that method though.
Nice, easy to understand videos. (Across is not a word. No t, just across. I guess it is regional.)
Thank you!
Now you having me saying across vs acrost? its always interesting to see how things are said in different areas.
Across is definitely a word in the English language. Where you live and whether or not you use this word, is irrelevant. It's still a word!
Do you sell your quilt block patterns?
We don't have these ones for sale as we didn't design them, but we do have a full line of patterns available in our shop.

I was referring to the sun one! (Sorry!)
I would love to know where to get this pattern! It’s gorgeous
You can find that block here: mollisparkles.com/2017/04/the-honey-pot-bee-april/
@@OnWilliamsStreet oh goodness, I went to the link and @theperserveringmom (Kylie) pattern designer is no longer an active link or account. Thank you anyway!
Sorry, i did not follow the grid on the pink square at all. Replayed several times and still could not get it. Just me i guess.
Not just you, this was one of our first videos and we've learned lots since then. You can find the diagrams on our blog (link in the description) that show the path.
It may be time to update this one.
It would have so much easier to go one way on the court house steps block then go the other way across the quilt instead of turning it so much and you still could have used the points on the blocks
You are right! We saw that same thing after we had posted the video. Thank you for the feedback.
Piecing might need to be “perfect”😂
No good reason for the atrocious music
