You are awesome! I learn so much from you. Odd to see a guy who sees but most videos from women have a whiny voice and it’s annoying. Love your voice and knowledge.
This Quick Tip Video is pretty cool. Who knew that there were so many feet for free motion quilting? What Quick Tip would you like to see in a tutorial?? #mansewing #quicktips #tutorial
I learned more from this tip than probably any otherr I have heard! Thank you for fixing the problem I have been having by this one simple video tip. Thank you, Rob!
I have been looking for questions about free motion and you put in so clear for me!!! I have the spring in my set my machine came with and I always wondered what it was for!! Thank you from this newbie quilter!!! Sometimes it takes a man to explain things to me lol.
It's funny because I didn't know that the one foot hovered over the fabric, I have the Janine 6600 and just finished a quilt. I knew it was adjustable but never noticed it didn't go up and down. I learned something new today! Thanks.
Thanks so much for doing these tutorials. I am getting ready to do some practice free motion sewing in preparation for my first free motion quilting experience.
At last ! I know how to fix my free motion foot to my Pfaff, thanks Rob. Mine was supplied with the machine and it is a plastic wide open foot. This really is for darning as it is a zig zag foot.
You Da MAN!!!! Love your videos and they have helped me more than I can say. Could you tell me what you set your stitch length to when beginning FMQ? Thanks SO much!
I have heard if you tie a quilt, you want to space it about a hands with apart. Taking that information and bring it over to free motion quilting, WHY do people not sew larger loops in place of these tiny circles for example?
I'm an extreme beginner, I have only made one quilt and I did quilt it myself. What is the best way to quilt something on my home machine for a newbie? Straight lines, pre marking with stencils, free motion? Really enjoy your videos
My machine came with that pressure foot have to watching your video I am going to try playing with it I am a guy learning to sew and it's like a trying to go into a girl's world
Great video. I have done simple quilting on small home babylock machine but used a walking foot. I will try this next time. Great video. Can I sign up for new videos somewhere?
I love this video, where can I find I floating foot, I am just learning to quilt and project and I have used the regular spring quilting foot but I can't seem to regulate my stitches. Thank you for this videol
I have an old but wonderful Singer 6215C that I'm learning to quilt on, but there is no way on it to drop the feed dogs. Does that mean that I cannot possibly learn to free motion quilt on this? I have been only stitching in the ditch until now... Thanks, Lori
Great info, could you do a demo on the ruffle foot and if you don't have one what you can do to ruffle fabric? My machine does not have one and I want to ruffle fabric. angel hugs Debby
I installed the foot that came with my singer quantum 9960 and when I lower the presser foot it does not appear to go all the way down. The spring IS over the needle bar and it DOES move up and down...but it is not going all the way down like in your video. Any ideas?
I don't have any kind of free motion foot and, well... Money is tight right now... Is it possible to do this with the normal presser foot? I've lowered the feed dogs and raised the presser foot bar so the presser foot doesn't touch the fabric. But I am having all kinds of tension issues. I've played with the top tension bu t it's always too tight or too lose. There seems to be no middle ground. Obviously, I know it's best to have the correct tools, but is there a way to do this without them?
Which Iron do you use!!!!???? Oooh my goodness!! Is awesome!! I need that for all my ironing. We use it a lot!! Please can u tell me where did u get it??
Hello! Rob uses a Panosonic 360 Iron. Missouri Star Quilt Co. carries them, but they are currently out of stock. You can still add the iron to your wish list and be notified when it is back in stock! Here is a link: www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/browse?q=panasonic
hi, you had an awesome reference sheet that flashed on the screen for the different needles I don't see that linked in the description where could I download that? Thanks.
You can do it with the feed dogs up, it works better on some machines actually. You just set your stitch length to zero. Some also have a plastic cover to go over them. Check out Leah Day's videos, she talks about it. Search the web also, you might find info about your particular machine.
Your the first person who explained problems in free motion. Your explanations are fantastic. Thanks
Thanks for tuning in, Christie! :)
Thank you, Rob. No one else has ever explained why we have different feet for free motion quilting. Love your clarity, brevity, and style!👍

I have a Pfaff machine and didn't know about the hovering foot. Nice reference videos!

Great video, thanks 👍
Thank you for your informative video. It was a great learning experience!
I bought a free motion foot the darning foot it works great
I have heard if you tie a quilt, you want to space it about a hands with apart. Taking that information and bring it over to free motion quilting, WHY do people not sew larger loops in place of these tiny circles for example?
I am new to free motion sowing . I ordered the one with the spring and I hope it will work with my Elna 900 🤷🏼♀️
Thank_You for this tip.Yes I have said a few not so nice words when my needle comes out or brakes lol.Have nice Day.
Mary Bertot I know those words!! Lol on occasion I have to use them but it's gotten better over the years! :)
Thanks Rob!
This is good info. You should do some on the different types of batting😀
Sheri Sterling that's a great suggestion! Thanks!!
I'm an extreme beginner, I have only made one quilt and I did quilt it myself. What is the best way to quilt something on my home machine for a newbie? Straight lines, pre marking with stencils, free motion? Really enjoy your videos
Jerrica Renicke You really can't go wrong with straight lines but if you practice on smaller pieces of scraps you can definitely free motion as well!!
My machine came with that pressure foot have to watching your video I am going to try playing with it I am a guy learning to sew and it's like a trying to go into a girl's world
Great video. I have done simple quilting on small home babylock machine but used a walking foot. I will try this next time. Great video. Can I sign up for new videos somewhere?
great video... thank you!
Great explanation, Rob. And yes, the needle falling out while sewing is less than enjoyable lol.
Slowvannah Farms it's up there with the bobbin running out without knowing!! :) Ugh!!!
Man Sewing Yesss! And usually during a difficult seam... which doesn't go as well once the bobbin is refilled. #firstworldsewingproblems lol
Slowvannah Farms exactly!!! Lol so glad I'm not alone in these awful events!!!

I love this video, where can I find I floating foot, I am just learning to quilt and project and I have used the regular spring quilting foot but I can't seem to regulate my stitches. Thank you for this videol
When I try Free motion quilting I always get a birds nest in my bobbin area. Any suggestions? I have a Singer 5560 with the bobbin on the side.
Hey thanks so much for your video quick question what’s the tension you use when using a free motion foot presser and also what stitch?
Thank you.

perfectangel60 I'll definitely have to add that to my list!! Thanks for the great suggestion! :)
What if your feed dogs won't come down? My Juki does not allow them to come down.
What do you do about your feed dogs if you have an older machine were they do not have a switch to lower them?
I installed the foot that came with my singer quantum 9960 and when I lower the presser foot it does not appear to go all the way down. The spring IS over the needle bar and it DOES move up and down...but it is not going all the way down like in your video. Any ideas?

Can you use a zipper foot for free motion quilting?
Could an embroidery foot possibly be used for free motion quilting?

Can you give some suggestions on how or what motifs to use on a log cabin quilt? It’s red, white and blue and made for a disabled vet. Queen size.
how to you fix shredded thread
I can't lower my feed dogs. I have an older 1980s singer sewing machine. What do I do now? Is it a lost cause?
You can do it with the feed dogs up, it works better on some machines actually. You just set your stitch length to zero. Some also have a plastic cover to go over them. Check out Leah Day's videos, she talks about it. Search the web also, you might find info about your particular machine.
Great advice, Stitch Wishes. Karla, I would suggest setting your stitch length to zero as well and you're set to go!
Love your videos but find when you use your hands when your talking and use your hand for the words you are saying very distracting and annoying.
