My favorite quilt was the one I made for my daughter in law as she was battling Lymphoma at age 30. It was a signature block, where there were over 140 squares for family and friends to sign. I found she has so many friends and is surrounded by so much love ❤. Happy to say, she is cancer free 😊

I'm a hand quilter. I started quilting in 2016, and never could get the hang of machine quilting. No matter how much basting I use, My layers always shift, and I end up with a giant mess. I eventually tried hand quilting in late 2019, and absolutely fell in love. With thick 8 weight thread, and big stitches, 4st/inch, I can finish a queen size quilt in 10 days. Not only that, but the repetitive, rhythmic movements of hand quilting really helped me during the COVID-19 pandemic. I always preferred hand work over machine work, so the few quilts I hand quilted are some of my most prized possession..
What’s your needle of choice?
@@susanivey8853 For 8wt thread, Cotton darners No 5. For 12wt, cotton darners No 7..
I am currently doing big stitch quilting on a medallion quilt. I am using 12 wt. Perle cotton and size 9 crewel needles. You are absolutely right about getting a rhythm going. But I am not as fast you are!
@@KelleysQuiltsandCruises Speed has nothing to do with it. Take your time, and have fun. As long as you are enjoying the process, that's all that matters..
Birdie batting..stickers fabric without basting
I’ve been quilting for over 30 years and have never ‘sent a quilt out’ to be quilted! Quilting in the ditch, corner to corner, free motion quilting is easy and doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars extra. It’s all part of quilting.
My problem isn't quilting a small piece like this, its when you are trying to manouvre a double quilt or larger under the machine. I have done a large throw doing free motion which I really enjoy, but it is such hard work. My last one I hand quilted and quite enjoyed that but am using a quilt as you go method with my current project. I agree with those bent pins, they are so good. There is also a tool available to make using them even easier. Goos video though.
I'm a new quilter, I just wanted to say Thank You so much for thoroughly explaining each step in each process, as well as why. Many quilting videos tend to whiz through so quick without explaining the process, the equipment, or even needle size and why you're using "that" needle. I get so over whelmed and confused. Even being able to stop and pause doesn't help if they don't explain it properly. So here's just a Huge HUGE THANK YOU! I look forward to watching more of your videos. ❤
I love to hand quilt using mostly a running stitch. It’s very relaxing to me to hand quilt while watching YouTUBE videos. In fact I learned to quill from watching videos. I looked up Quilt In A Day on YouTUBE and binge watched for several days. From there I went to Missouri Star and binge watched Jenny. I believe it has been close to ten years since that time. I have always done simple quilts, mainly because I don’t have the patience to cut all those small pieces just to reattach them back into yardage. I made a throw sized quilt for all my granddaughters and a special princess quilt which has been passed down to my great granddaughters. It’s on the third one naw. She is coming up on six years old now, so it will soon be passed to the younger ones who are almost two and almost one. I really need to do one for the boys, there are six of them. Wow! My fingers get sore just thinking about all that quilting!
Wow, thanks for sharing your journey, Shirley! We love our 3-yard quilt patterns because many of them don't require cutting smaller pieces to mark our quilts, and instead focus on creating larger strip assemblies that are sewn together. Makes it easier to manage 🥰 Good luck with all of your quilts for the boys!
When you do any of the stitching methods, do you start in the middle of the quilt and work your way outward or do you start at one edge and work across to the other edge?
Hopefully Fran will have time to answer but I have always heard that you start in the middle.
Another option is quilt as you go. Takes some thought process but gives excellent results. I have made many😊 have also hand tied, and line quilted. All have turned out nice😊
Quilt As You Go seems to be a forgotten choice and u agree it is t really hard - just takes a different thought process. There are some wonderful books available with a few different ways to do QAYG - I happen to have several!!! Thanks for the reminder - and I do think this technique can be used with Fabric Cafe patterns with maybe just a few adjustments.
I am a hand quilter usually. When I was younger I did the tiny stitches coveted around here, with a quilting thread and hoop. Now that I'm older I use perle cotton and larger running stitches and love the look. I have some projects coming up that the stitch in the ditch and the tying might be better choices. Thank you for demonstrating all three. This is a very handy video to keep referring to.
I am really liking your new format of teaching! Not only do you have great kids for us, but also providing us great education. I hope you gain more subscribers with this new format. I love when you show us the make up of the block and now you’re adding more to my abilities by discussing techniques. All my love to you and your team.
Can’t wait to try these quilting methods! Thank you! ❤
Thanks, Fran, for covering the basics so clearly!
Love the different ways!!
Greatly enjoyed!!
Super informative! Thank you!
Great Tutorial !
Thank you Fran!!
Thank you so much for your hints on hand stitching and burying the thread! ❤
Thank you, Fran! 😊
Thank you ! So informative & helpful !
Wow some handy hints thank you x
Another good tip.
Thank you Fran! ❤❤
This is a good episode. Thank you.
Thank you for all the new videos! I love the tutorials!!
Thank you Fran for the step by step tutorial, your instructions are easy to follow.
Excellent!!
Great instructions and suggestions.
Fran , you are not only a wonderful teacher, but an inspiring one too!
Very informative. Thank you 🙏
Very informative.
Very useful tips, thanks.
Thank you, I learned a great deal.
Enjoy watching you demonstrate these techniques! Keep ‘em coming! Learning new things! Thank you ❤
I love to do the running stitch on my quilts. Very helpful video. I always learn something new when I watch. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your video.
Hello Fran great tips today on hand quilting. It's always good to see you demonstrating techniques. Looking forward to seeing more of your video's.
Great video! I never knew how to use the clear foot with red lines and now I do! Thanks so much!
Love how you tied off the second method.
You make it look so easy
I love hand quilting , Fran. It is very relaxing.
Excellent video Fran
Thank you for the WONDERFUL tutorial. You're very easy to follow.
Excellent tutorial showing different ways of quilting!
Great video! Thank you!.
Thank you for the step by step instructions. I’ve been wanting to try the tying method and the hand stitch. I’m not so intimidated by it now that I watched your video.
Thank you for this video. I am thrilled to learn these different ways. I am so happy you spoke of tiger tape, I have had a roll for a couple years and never knew what it was for. YEA..I have a new tool.
What a great tutorial on hand quilting, never tried and it looks so relaxing!
❤Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤. This is what I needed to see!!
I'm a hand quilter. It really helps me de-stress. I found some bent safety pins without the loop at the end - love them! Finished my first tied quilt last week - a flannel throw with a minky backing. Really liked the result, especially considering the thickness I was dealing with.
Fran. Great, Great idea to show us how to quilt our quilts. I'll be trying all three ways on my next quilts. You explained perfectly and showing where to find the necessary tools should you need to purchase it was a great idea. Thank you so much.
I really enjoyed this video and seeing the lovely kits! Thanks💕
I love you videos Fran! I have a blind stitch foot for stitching in the ditch works great.
I grew up with hand tied quilts and I still love them. I took a certification course on longarming so I hope to do more of that in the future. On small things that are not a headache to shove through my domestic sewing machine, I like to do free motion quilting. I am very impressed with people who quilt large quilts on their domestic.
Thanks for a great step by step video on these 3 methods of hand quilting. I especially like that you are relaxed in allowing the hand stitching to not be perfect. Too many people get turned off by those that insist it must be done a certain way. Quilts finished are much loved no matter the way you complete them!
I tried to stitch in the ditch with my very first quilt. It was so hard! I ended up stitching along the ditch.
Yes, another TH-cam quilter doesn't recommend sitd for beginners.
Me too! It’s hard to stay in the “ditch”!!
Really have enjoyed and learned much from this video. Thanks!
I saw an interesting technique for tacking a quilt. Instead of tying, mark as you would for tying, but put underneath your pressure foot and sew a small box. The new machines are capable of sewing sideways. Sew sideways 5-6 stitches, forward 5-6 stitches, sideways and reverse. You have made a tiny box. Move to the next mark. And do it again!
Really good instruction, very clear, easy to understand...thank you.
My favourite method which you demonstrated on this video was the last one of hand stitching! I’m going to try that on my next quilt! Thank you.
Outstanding video! Thank you for showing these quilting methods! It took me back to the time when I could arch my mom and grandmother! Thanks!
That is a great refresher for me, thanks. I really like the running stitch or big stitch quilting.
Thank you for a great instructional video, including very helpful tips.
Thanks Fran! I learned a lot from this video. Some of the details are so simple, but extremely important.
Thank your so easy to understand
You are welcome!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been wanting to try to quilt on my sewing machine!
Thank you so much for making the piecing and quilting tutorial videos! They are very informative and something I can implement along my learning process. You explained and demonstrated the techniques and supplies you use in a way that those of us that are new to the quilting world can understand and follow as I am learning to quilt using a domestic machine. THANK YOU! Looking forward to more of your tutorials!
Great! I want to do the line quilting. I just love the look! Thank you for your excellent explanation of each. Yes, don't forget quilt as you go! So easy!
Always learning something new from you gals. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Fran! such priceless teaching!! 🥰👌👍
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the demo. I have a better understanding of the quilting methods.❤❤
thank you SOOO much for this video fran! i am always hesitant to start new projects because i know i’ll have to eventually tackle how to quilt them. your instructions are awesome! i can’t wait to try these techniques on some of my unfinished projects ❤
I love quilting with end-to-end quilting designs on my embroidery machine.
Great video Fran!!!! I’ve done quilt in the ditch and some other quilting using my sewing machine. I have never tied a quilt or quilted by hand. Thank you so much for more options! 😊
I like to use a zipper foot to make it easy to get close to my stitch line. Super easy to see for stitch in the ditch method!
Thanks
Thank you so much for posting this! It was just what I needed to move forward in my quilting experience. I have made a T-shirt quilt that I think I will now tie with embroidery floss and my first full quilt top that now I think I will try the stitch in the ditch since it's squares are similar to your sample. I truly appreciate you sharing your talents with us quilting rookies!
Love, love, loved watching the different ways to quilt my quilt tops myself. It’s getting expensive paying for this service. I’m going to start with my smaller tops.
Fran, much needed instructions for all three ways of hand quilting, including the curved pins, and when a hoop is really beneficial, and other needed tools. Very clear, direct instructions verbally and visually. I particularly love the quilt kit that was used for tying the quilt with your color thread choice. And I so love the running stitch for hand quilting. I love that you're a "rogue" quilter. For me, so much stress removed from a craft that is meant to be enjoyed. Thank you! Happy Autumn 🍂 🍁 and Thanksgiving 🦃
This was very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
❤ this video and love fabric cafe, Thank you for all your videos and expertise 💞
Loved these explanations! Everything was easy to see and not rushed. I want to try stitch in the ditch and hand quilting for my next 2 quilts so this was perfect!
You didn't mention using a walking foot. I always use it when doing quilting. Thanks for all your information.
Probably because the foot she used was a dual feed foot.
Great tutorial!!! 🎉
Thank you!! 😊
Great tutorial! I love these three quilting methods. I never hand quilted before ( just always struggled with a big quilt in a small throat space) and get very aggravated! haha. I like the old fashioned look of tie quilting and running stitch method. Thank you!
Long running stitch with perle cotton! Fun and addicting 😊
Your a great teacher. I don’t want to tell how many years I’ve been quilting but I didn’t know about the knots for hand sewing. Thanks for the demonstration love your teaching❤❤❤❤
Thank you for making this video…it was enjoyable to watch and a a big help to me. I haven’t hand quilted in over 30 years and was happy to learn about the new tools that make quilting easier. Tiger Tape was new to me but I will be buying!
Fran, this video is perfect to encourage us to quilt our own quilts. Machine quilting is my favorite, but I have used all 3 methods. I like to use a walking foot and quilt
all my projects that are three yards or smaller with great results. 😊 I just know this video will give quilt makers courage to get those tops out and finish their gorgeous projects! Thank you so much.
Great tutorial and awesome demonstration thanks for sharing I will definitely be trying this and maybe using tiger tape
Thank you so much for this video. Loved it…
You are so welcome!
Morning - I enjoy your videos. I do both machine and hand quilting. For machine quilting, I really enjoy rulerwork (I'm just not coordinated enough for regular free motion quilting). The rulers/templates help me to get a consistent design. When hand quilting, I don't use a hoop at all. I prefer to just hold the quilt in my lap. I do use thimbles -- 3 of them! I use a plastic finger on my pointer finger under the quilt, a metal thimble on my middle top hand finder to push the needle, and a leather thimble on my top pointer finger to help pull the needle through if a bit tight. I prefer spray basting for both machine and hand quilting and use SpraynBond Basting Adhesive. It holds very well and does not have the toxic smell of other brands. Just goes to show that are many ways to get the same job done and whatever works best for you is the one to use. No quilting police! Have a gerat day!
Thank you 👍👍🥳so much for the different options tutorials for Quilting . A lot of us can’t afford to have anyone longarm quilts for us. Everything is getting soo expensive.
Great job and love how easy to follow the instructions! Thank you!
You are so welcome! So glad you found it helpful.
THANK YOU! You covered start to finish AND answered every question I had!!!
I'm so glad!
You are so precise. I've given up on stitch in the stitch. I have some visual problems and I'm past even trying. I will continue watching your video to see what's ahead.
Thanks for this video, Fran. I especially like how you finish offf. I do not want to quilt by check book so do mine by my home machine. I'm rather wonky so genereally to a cross hatch or serpentine stitch. i have been using pool noodles to baste my quilt and have found they fit nicely in the throat of my machine so it the quilt is not flopping all over. Never make more than a lap size so the THRee yard Quilts are perfect!
Oh, Fran! What a great, informative video. Both my husband and I are quilters, but I do all the actual quilting after he has pieced his top and sandwiched his quilt, using a spray basting product. I use my mid-arm Handi Quilter Sweet 16. We enjoyed watching your demonstration of the various quilting methods. ❤
I can’t get my brain to stitch in the ditch so I quilt several threads to the side. Have a quilt I’ve been thinking about hand tying. I feel more confident, thanks to you!
Oh the patience for that! I remember before we got a longarm, I didn't think it would be so time consuming, but now I don't know if I could ever got back to anything but a longarm. I love these methods though!
