    Very good job Barry! I love that you TRY and folks get to watch and see your hard work! Some artists show polished videos as if their work was effortless… We all know the truth… It all takes practice… 😊 Thank you

      I agree - practice is key! I think it's fun to show my mistakes and hopefully learn from it. I also find that people may be less intimated to try when they see how bad I can do lol.

      As the Quilting Marine says, it's only fabric and it's only thread. Don't be afraid, it's fun. It can be frustrating, as is much learning, but it is fun,

    Hi Barry, I just found your videos a couple of weeks ago and think you're so cool! I love that you're not afraid to try new things - you're a normal person learning rather than some of the really polished stuff. Make sure you're having fun while you do it. Big hugs from England. Also, Steve is a handsome chap!

    Wow! I am so glad your video was about the Dablines. I ordered that same set about a year ago and put them up to learn later and completely forgot about having them. You did a great job for the first time using them and now I am inspired to get those out and practice learning them. Man, you are really knocking it out of the park for a new quilter. Thanks for sharing that.

      @ I have actually bought gardening gloves. They are cheaper and come in many sizes. I think you are brave to use the ruler quilting. I own rulers, but every time I go to quilt something, I chicken out and just sew a squiggly line across it diagonally every couple inches. I just made 12 blocks for a quilt and am thinking about quilting each block independently so I can practice ruler or free motion quilting. I only have been quilting for a year so have a lot to learn.

      I have a lot of cut resistant gloves since I work for a construction company (and no one else wears a size small 😂), so the warehouse guy gives me all I want for free. I also add hot glue squiggles to the fingers and palms for extra grip.

    Fair play to you Barry. I admire people who are willing to try. I like the look of those particular rulers. They look easier to hold than some. The difficulty I have with free motion quilting is maintaining the speed that I move my hands and my foot on the pedal. I’ve learned to reduce the speed of my sewing machine and putting my foot right down on the pedal - that way I only have to concentrate on my hand speed. You’re doing great. Keep it up 😊

    • @barryquilts
      @barryquilts  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Absolutely - my juki doesn’t gave a speed control so I have to learn to slow down. I agree with you 100%

      @debrajones8392 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      My Juki doesn't either, but I created one by taping a little pad of folded cardboard under my presser foot in the back so that my pedal will only depress so far. When I "step on it" my machine only goes a medium speed and not a million stitches per minute!
      Just discovered you today! Bravo on the video! Very helpful! 😀

    I’m a retired RN, at 73 yrs, I’m getting ready to start my journey in quilting. I think I bought everything from fabric to tools I think I need. Watching many videos, I’m getting braver to start. Had to go thru eye surgeries for cataracts first. Going for 1st post op visit today. With all the videos I’ve watched since November , yours are the most encouraging. I love it.
    I’ll let you know when I start. I’m looking for the best pattern for a very first time quilter to get started to start my journey.
    Thank you for your kindness to show your journey. I like the patterns for your free motion quilting. I’ll look forward to purchasing them. Also, I’m a pet owner. I have 2 large golden doodles and 2 cats, a ragdoll and a ragamuffin. Always had a pet. I love you introducing your fur baby in video. And this video was not the worse video. It’s great for a WANNA BEE quilts to enjoy.

    I learn more from men who quilt than I do women. Womensay, I'll go quilt this and be right back! Or show a bunch of complicated quilting moves. I can straight line quilt or stitch in the ditch. This, however, gave me hope that I may get the hang of this with a little help. Thank you for sharing this. I've looked up rulers, and they looked more difficult than just winging it. I don't want to make a perfect, beautiful quilt and ruin it trying to quilt it. I think I could do this with some practice 😊❤

It makes a big difference, so easy to move it around. I’m no expert and still learning like you, and need much more practice.

    Terrific first attempt! It felt silly the first time I tried using gloves but they actually quite beneficial when maneuvering the quilt & help you grip typical quilting rulers. I haven't seen the brand you unboxed before this. The handles on the frame & interchangeable templates look interesting. All techniques improve with practice. I made FMQ practice pads using old sheets & subsequently sewed them together using a quilt-as-you-method. Good to have in the car for an impromptu picnic.

    You go! I do very simple quilting, large cross hatch and then almost stitch in the ditch, but sew a 1/4 inch away from the seam. I have been "piecing" for about 15 years and have never felt comfortable doing it. But based on your video, I went out to Amazon and am purchasing the simple stipple like what you did and then three wave type rulers that are about 10 inches long. Thanks for the inspiration!! I love blackie dogs! Your pup is very cute!!

    That set of quilting rulers looks wonderful. I think you are very wise to learn to piece quilt tops and quilt them at the same time. I didn't learn how to do the quilting as I just found it too intimidating and now I can make advanced quilt tops but I am afraid to wreck them with my beginner quilting skills so I have about 10 tops waiting to be quilted.

    I bought the Dabline set, but I didn't have luck with it the one time I tried using it. I bought the generic ruler foot from Dabline, but it didn't quite fit right on my Baby Lock Jazz. Using that foot didn't give me much room between the ankle of the foot and the template , so it kind of hit it and didn't want to move very smooth. I have recently got correct quilting feet for the Jazz, one of which I believe is a ruler foot, so I should try it again in the future. It's good to see they worked well for you. For the price, I think they are made well and definitely worth trying.

    • @barryquilts
      @barryquilts  23 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      It’s great that you found the right foot for your machine, I’m sure it will work much better now! I’m going to give it my best but I hope to move up to free motion without the templates at some point. Let me know how you do!

It was fujn to watch your "let's give it a go" with a new tool. Everything has a learning curve which can be frustrating, that 's Steve's job to calm the nerves 😬.
