    I still love watching you quilt on that old Gammill. I still use mine bc I am poor as hell but these old videos are a treasure still! :)

    You really make a gal feel like she can do this with lots of echos. You're the best, Angela!

    I’d be embarrassed to show anyone how many times I e tried this design on paper. I have drawn and practiced and just can’t loosen up. I love the chain. I picked the wood grain up in 1 try. The leaves in one try and many others. My brain is not computing for the swirl chain. Back to practicing and thank you for the time you put in on these videos. Your quilting is second to none.

    You make this look so easy! Then I spend hours with a huge chalkboard and chalk trying to copy it before I head to fabric. Believe it or not, it actually helps. Then I have to take the chalkboard outside to clean off all the chalk! 🤣. Thank you so much for these tutorials. I never dreamed I would even get this far.

    I've been longarm quilting for customers for almost 9 years, and I still learn little tips from your videos! I have all of your books and have taken your Craftsy classes. When a new longarmer asks me for advice...I send them directly to you!!! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the inspiration!

    You are the most amazing person ever. You are so talented. I love love the swirl design. I’m doing better, but I have a ways to go. I’m hoping you add this in detail in your next book. Love you Angela.

    Angela, I made 3 quilt tops with randomly placed pinwheels. They look like they are tumbling from the sky. An elongated swirl will give it a "breezy" look. Wish me luck! Thanks for the great tutorial!

    You are a genius Angella, I think it is such a gift that you share you knowledge of quilting and give so freely. I appreciate all your videos. I have ordered the 4 piece quilt rulers, and searching for the sewing foot you use for the rulers. I have a Juki I'd like to have one for, and my Gammill. I have a couple of Bernina but doubt if I will ever try to quilt on them. I want to be able not to fear the Gammill first!.

    Angela Somehow I didn’t realize until today that the reason I couldn’t get this design right was because I want making sure my elongated swirls face opposite directions. I don’t know how I missed that before! Thanks for this video I would have never thought to use the swirl chain as a motif. That makes this design super useful!

    Little comments like "You can always echo if you don't know what to do" really has helped me as I've been practicing a basic curl or swirl design - (DSM - Janome) when I wasn't sure where to go next.

    I've just tried this in the border of my Challenge #3 fmq. I decided to do this in one end and one side; then will do the echo bubbles in the rest... started out a little bit off balance but corrected soon enough. However, my border isn't very wide, so besides echoing the elongated swirls and paislies, there isn't much room for the rest. Maybe I can attempt this on another quilt! Thank you again Angela Walters for inspiration and the support to try new designs!
