This is my favorite quilting pattern! Now, off to master it!
You are the Queen of Quilting, dear
Angela I’ve been watching you for awhile now, but have been scared to quilt my quilts....well, I just bought me a Janome long arm!! So now I’m REALLY gonna be watching you, I’m driving in! :)
Great way to make a quick throw pillow cover! I like that design.
Wow watching this gave me so much confidence in doing this... now to build that muscle memory first!
When I started making quilts, I thought you sewed pieces together, backed it, bound it, maybe run a few lines through it and you were done, and THEN, TH-cam introduced me to YOU!, a whole new world. I can't thank you enough for posting these videos, appreciate every one.
Yay!!!! So glad you find them helpful!
Hi Joan, how’s your day going with you?
Thanks so much, Angela. I always love your teaching whether in person at QuiltCon, on Craftsy, or here on TH-cam.
You so sweet!! Thank you so much for your support!
Angela, just want you to know I watched this then marched my butt into my quilt room and finished a quilt that had been waiting for my fear to subside for years... You held my hand and took me over the edge. How can I thank you enough? ::big happy grateful hug::
This is my style of feathers. Gonna give it a go.
I love your show and live vicariously though you! Lol!
Hi Angela, I am a SUPER FAN!!! Like many, I love most of your quilting designs, but I must say that the Paisley Feather may be my all time favorite. Like always, you make it look so darn easy. This is one I plan on mastering to the best of my ability. Thanks for all that you do (for free) for the quilting community at large.
This was so therapeutic to watch, thank you
Very pretty and you have given me the hope even I can do it! Thanks!
You can do it, just remember to keep echoing :)
Hi Katie, how’s your day going with you?
This is the first time I have been able to do a free motion design and have it look good! I am hooked! THANK YOU!
Hi Cathy, how’s your day going with you?
Great tutorial. You are so thorough. You tell us how to get unstuck! That’s where a lot of other demos fail.
thank you, I can't wait to practice, practice and practice on scrap fabrics. You make it look so easy.
Hi Susan, how’s your day going with you?
Thanks for sharing, Angela! I love your videos! I"m learning so much and getting inspired to quilt, quilt, quilt!
Yay!! That's the main idea of making them. I am so glad you like them!
Hi Elisa, how’s your day going with you?
Thank you! That was great. Having the close up view with your instructions the whole way through was fantastic. I feel confident I can do it now.
I know you can! Echo, echo, echo, lol. Let me know if you have any questions!
Angela Walters Thank you! I had a practice yesterday. I can do it! Echoes are my friends😉
I am coming in late to free motion quilting. You obviously have been doing it for awhile. I tried this and for me it seems to be the easiest pattern to do. I love the feathers but am not doing so will with this pattern. I do love paisley so I will use it. Thanks for the short video. I watch it for things I miss while practicing. I will be watching more of your videos. Thanks so much.
Thanks Angela -- I practiced this on a doll quilt for my Granddaughter and I almost didn't want to give it to her. Can't wait to do it again!
I asked for a referral on MSQC website and the quilters kept referring you, now I know why. Thank You!
I love the paisley swirls!! I am so glad that I watched this video!!
You know we live in an instant world and of course I want to sit down and do like you instantly lol practice practice and more practice thanks for a great video
Thank you Angela I learn a lot, Avril from Jamaica.
What a fantastic video! I've been so afraid of feathers, but you make it look so easy! Can't wait to get to my machine and practice these! Thank you!!
Yay!!!!! I know you can do it!!!
Your quilting tutorial videos are the best. Gives me confidence!❣️
I’m awaiting delivery of my new Pfaff Quilting machine. (Not long-arm, but hey!). When it comes, I can’t wait to paisley the crap out of the 7 or 8 quilt tops I have just waiting to come to life hanging in m y sewing room. U r totally an inspiration to anyone who loves Quilting and wants to get better and better. Thank u!!!
Never underestimate how much you help people with your knowledge and experience. I appreciate you so much. Thanks Angela for teaching me a beautiful skill:)
Just discovered your fantastic videos. Went through of them straight through the night. As a teacher I appreciate your easy, thorough instructions. You tell us how you do it. Demonstrate it and repeat the steps. I am in the process of doodling your parsley snd feathers. My prayers and thanks for you and family
This one looks very forgiving, and not fussy at all. I think it would be a good one to start with.
You're the best, Angela. Love your Midnight Quilting Show! Many thanks!
I love it when you make real good work look so easy...still trying...
Tried this design on a baby quilt. My sister was amazed at this quilt design. It's really easy and it wasn't too bad for my first attempt. It can only get better with practice. Can't wait to try it again on my next quilt. Thanks for your easy way of demonstrating and explaining. Great job Angela!
Hi Petra, how’s your day going with you?
Love the free motion/ machine quilting tutorials. I don't send my quilts to the long arm I make them all from start to finish so these videos are a really great help!! Love them! 💕
I am so glad that you like them! I have more lined up!
I have never tried the paisley feather. I'm going to do that on the next quilt.!!
Found the answer on another of your tutorials. Thank you very much.
This is the most beautiful feather and yet the easiest. I love it. Thank you for your wonderful videos and challenges.
Have to say this is something I think I can do, thank you for your tutorials
Hi Jackie, how’s your day going with you?
You give me confidence Angela. Thanks
Oh yes I'm going to use this on my next quilt. I get so much out of your tutorials. Thanks ANGELA.
Hi from Northern Norway. Another great video. I "suck" to me everything that comes from you, learns something new every time. Since I've learned quilting only through such video, and quilting all my projects myself (small and big), I'm always excited to learn new tricks. Thank you Angela for sharing this with us, looking forward to the next one :-)
I love this one, just tried it and it really was fun. Thanks so much for the ideas of getting out of a "corner" it really helps. It's the thing I worry about the most. Also great to see you doing different shapes and directions.
I am so glad that you found it helpful!!
You’re a very good teacher. No one has ever explained this quite as well. Did you learn to quilt as a young woman? I ask because your mom came into your shop in another video and it may be curious to know whether she taught you how to quilt. Maybe you taught her. 😉
I'm putting a top together now and I think this will be the perfect quilting for it! Thanks!!
Yay!!! I bet it will look fantastic!
Hi Sharon, how’s your day going with you?
I love this. Nice to see everything up close without a lot of video filler.
I love your videos, Angela Walters! I feel like I am hypnotized: Echo, echo, echo ...
That,s great,I have to try this one keeping the hand or needle straight is another thing lol .Love it!
Looking forward to trying this...never machine quilted before. Wish me LUCK and CREATIVITY!!
Wow...that turns out beautiful Angela. I find it very easy to learn FMQ from you. Thank you for the videos. Barbara Delarwelle
Hi Barbara, how’s your day going with you?
Can’t wait to try this design! Love all your video tutorials Angela!! Thanks for sharing your talents😍
I love this design. I'm going to practice practice, then try it on my quilt. Thanks Angela love your videos.
Hi Nancy, how’s your day going with you?
Thank you! I am new to this technique, and learning a LOT from your tutorials!
I've watched a lot of quilting tutorials - this was top-notch. Thanks!
So glad that you liked it!! I appreciate the compliment!
Hi Cheryl, how’s your day going with you?
Thank you Angela. I have learned a lot from your tutorials, and really appreciate that you do them to help all of us who are learning.
Hi Angela
I just started watching your videos. I love your long arm quilting. I am just learning. Your videos are so helpful.
Hi Clara, how’s your day going with you?
Excellent! I’m trying the paisley feather today! Great work and instruction! All that I have learned for free-motion quilting has been watching your videos...Thank you Angela, great job!
Brilliant. I love this design. Looks so "forgiving" that even if I mess up, it probably won't be noticeable. Thanks for another wonderful and encouraging tutorial. Just listening to your voice gives me fuel to try! Thanks! ❤️
The trick is to keep going! You can't stop at one feather, you have to fill in the whole area before you judge how it looks!
Angela Walters : OK, got it. I'll do it. Thank you, Angela!! 💕
Wow this was an awesome tutorial! So thorough! It was so helpful to hear what to do when you get stuck, where to add a new feather, etc! Thank you
I know that most of quilting is just learning how to handle mistakes!!!!
You have helped be brave and learn feathers!!! I agree it takes practice. I was horrible at the beginning. Thanks so much your an excellent teacher and I just love how human you are. I enjoy your since of humor!! Thanks for this one💖
At your last q and a I asked about how to keep from getti g quilting too dense on my domestic machine. Now that I see this I realize my challenge is that I am making my deign too small. Once again you have helped me figure out how to make my quilting better. Thank you 😊.
i love watching you free motion quilt. You are my inspiration. THANK YOU ANGELA!!
Hi Chris, how’s your day going with you?
This is the first sample design I think I may try. Love the look! Sure do miss the midnight quilt show! Hope it comes back.
I promise it's coming back!! Look for it in August!!!
Hi Tammie, how’s your day going with you?
I just LOVE you style of teaching, makes me feel good about my FMQ as a beginner. Love seeing your tutorial. See you next time....Doreen from Williamsburg, VA
That's exactly why I make these videos, I want others to love machine quilting as much as I do!
I also think you are so funny. You make my days much lighter... after a hard day at work!!!
Love it! Thanks!And I LOVE your music choices, fun Fun FUN!
Thanks so much!!!!! :)
I can’t wait to try this! You give me so much encouragement and I greatly appreciate it. If I could ask one thing, please show the finished practice piece. I would like to study how you filled in the small spaces. I know, echo, echo, echo but sometimes it helps to see. Thanks again.
Thanks for a new, fun way to quilt feathers!! I'll be using this quilting pattern on a future quilt!!
Yay!! I am so glad that you like it!!
Thanks, Angela, for showing how easy it is to free-motion-quilt, even if you can't draw your way out of a paper bag. I really love the confidence you inspire. I have completed a couple of quilts with results I'm happy with. I'm about to quilt a larger quilt for my mom. However it comes out will be perfect--because despite mistakes, when it's done, it's perfect!
You make this look so easy! I have been practicing FMQ and am curve challenged. Looks like a spastic frog was in charge - LOL
Awesome video! It always looks like fun when you quilt. You're the bast! I never miss any of your videos
You are the BEST! Love your videos - Thank you.
Thank you so much Angela. You make it seem so easy and smooth to quilt Paisley that I've given it a try. And, mind you! I got it!!!! It's quite simple but the result is fantastic. Learning a lot from you. God bless you!
