Amazing, this is the exact sewing machine I use. 1938 Singer. I inherited it 40+ years ago. I clean and oil it myself. Yes, with this machine you can sew over pins. Elaine Lockett is a super quilter. You make it appear so easy. Thanks for sharing all those tips. We never stop learning. I have been making quilts for at least 50 years now. Always learning.
When she said "my shoulders really hurt" 🥺I wish I could hop through the screen and help😫 you're a Rockstar gma and very appreciated thank you for teaching so many others♡
I love, love, love this video. I find it so soothing to watch her work and listen to her instructions. Thank you!! I come back every so often just to watch her at work again.
I'm 64 years old and have always regretted that I wasn't interested in quilting when my grandmother could have taught me. I really thought I had waited too late in life to learn. Watching you make this amazing quilt reassures me that I can still learn to do this. Thanks. Blessings!!!!! 💜
It's 2023 and the first time I've seen this particular video. You are amazing and did an excellent job explaining everything. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I loved the way your sewing machine just powered right over those pins! I loved the fabric you used. Blessings!
I'm a beginner who has been OVERWHELMED (and CONFUSED) with instructions. I learned more in these 22 minutes (and learned it WELL) than I have in weeks! THANK YOU!!!
Videos like this are a beautiful way of continuing the tradition of an expert artisan passing along their knowledge. Thank you for the time you spent sharing your wisdom.
I always thought quilting was some very difficult project so I never tried one. After watching your video I will be making my 1st quilt at 53 years old. I love how thoroughly you described what you were doing and why. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and giving us tips. You're very kind lady.
Absolutely awesome! I’m 70 years young & this is the first time I’ve watched someone do a quilt. I’m amazed, you’ve given me so much hope, I can do it too!
You are just so sweet! Make me think of my loving grandma who taught me to knit and embroider. I was a bit young to quilt, but I remember her having hand tied quilts too ❤️❤️
This is the clearest, easy to follow & most beautiful tutorial for a beginner quilter from beginning to end. You are a very generous & kind person to share with us your knowledge & give us the treasures of the past that we all so long for! I have learned a lot from you so thank you from the bottom of my heart & God bless you:)
this is so very helpful, with wonderful techniques and tips- thank you so much! My grandmother was a quilter but lived too far away for me to learn from her...and watching this made me feel her presence, and made me cry- she felt so close. You are an inspiration! Can't wait to use this!
Thank you Mrs. Lockett. You are a very good teacher. You've helped me with my decision on how to finish my Hawaiian fabric quilt. Aloha and mahalo nui loa from Hawaii.
I'm so very glad I found this tutorial tonight. It is a great video for every person who wants to know the proper way of tying a quilt. I imagine you'e done hundreds of these and it shows that you have the true love of gifting the quilts. TY for all you teach.
I never had the chance to see how my grandmother (1902-1974) made her beautiful quilts. But now I've started trying to continue her legacy. Thank you for your patient and loving instruction.
I agree this was SOOO much more straight forward than the other videos. I think it's a generational thing. Folks like my grandma and this young lady speak simply, and to the point. I really appreciate this immensely!! There is a lot of history in these techniques, it's as American as you get!
I was totally mesmerized watching you make this beautiful quilt. That frame is amazing. You have just made some child very happy. Keep up the wonderful work.
My grandmother called this tacking a quilt. I don't know why. I learned a super helpful tip on threading my tapestey needle for my crochet. I never knew there waa a deep side to the needle and her little tape trick will save me a lot of grief. I am soon to tie my first tied quilt and I feel this video is all I need. Thank you so very, very much and thank her for me please. God bless.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. As I tentatively dip my toe into quilting this lady has a lifetime under her belt. If you have to learn then learn from an experienced quilter like this lady. Thank you.
Me. Elaine you are adorable and an amazing quilter. I wish I had a grandmother in my life that would have taught me to quilt ,knit, sew, etc..but at least with your excellent tutorials I can learn now. I just wish I could spend hours with you in person, side by side learning. What a wonderful wealth of tradition you are. God bless you. I'm so happy that I've stumbled upon your videos! You've made my day...thank you
I am new to quilting and so appreciate the traditional technique - I had no idea. How wonderful that she speaks about how her mother used church pews for the frame. Thank you for taking the time to create such a professional video and share to the public ... blessed be
Love that you are still sewing on your first/old favorite machine. Usually see machines I could never afford to own. Mine is a Pfaff 1471 I bought used in the early 90's. It was a tremendous splurge then.
Absolutely enjoyed this video. I learned a lot and love her sweet way of teaching. I loved how she noticed little ones will put themselves to sleep twirling the ties. I remember that from my own childhood. Sweetest quilt tying video award!
Wonderful sewing machine, it sews a steady seam with just a tug on the back of the fabric...and, she can sew right over those big yellow quilting pins. Talented lady, thank you so much for gifting us with your talent.
I totally enjoyed watching her work. Wish she was my Grandmother!! Thank you for teaching us how to make a quilt. Very easy steps to understand exactly what to do.
I just loved this video. She is very good at explaining. Just a new quilting person and to much work for a beginner. Will work up to it. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! My mother had intended to make some quilts for us kids and to donate, but she passed away before she got the chance. Now I can finish what she started.
Miss Elaine: thank you so much for this video. I've not seen this type of frame before...and the second row of edge stitching really makes a machined edge more attractive.
I've never seen this method of quilting before...I'm amazed! You explain so well... thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes to you all the way from Sri Lanka!
Who the hell would give her a thumbs down? TROLLS.. she deserves thumbs up just for her age and looking healthy & good shape! i am starting my quilt ..not sure i will live that long, so i wanna get started now while i can still see :)
What a great lady doing for others, You are fast at tying a quilt. Love your colors, and your vintage machine. Bless you for sharing your talent with others.
I just love this video. It took me back to my childhood when I used to see quilts tied off like this. I've learned so much just by watching and I Thank you.
Thank you for this. I was looking for a traditional approach to hand tying and appreciate the step by step instructions. I’m going to slightly change the design of the quilt I am working on to take your approach instead of binding. Thank you again.
What a wonderful tutorial! Thank you Miss Elaine for showing us your tying technique. And what a neat quilt frame - so appreciate the pattern for it! I've never tied a quilt before and am very new to quilting - but after watching Miss Elaine, I'm ready to give it a try!
Miss is an inspiration. I am thankful for this tutorial in that so much of the history of quilting has been lost. It was very interesting. Lovely work!
