I've been sewing these Minky strip quilts and was wondering if I could do on my longarm. Searched and found this. What a Game Changer!! Less time and finger pokes from pins. Thanks for the tutorial!
I would love if you had shown how to do the applique flowers. I have used this technique for 2 fast strip quilts and its great. My best advice is to coordinate your fabric and organize a pattern ahead of time.
I have APQS 26 inch throatspace. this us a great idea for strip quilting. just a tip because we all need to learn from each other. when you stitch put your hand on the fabric after the needle not before. it won't bunch when you do that. thanks for the video.
This has been the best yet. I just spent hours sewing strips to make a WOF by 8 foot long quilted ' soft door' for opening that needs a door but no room. I have the electronic channel lock and used it for the quilting but never thought to sew the strips on the frame. Also, your tip about making the line of stitch at top to use as guide to line up quilt for first stitching is brilliant. No more quilts a little wonky. Thank you.
Hopefully retiring in a year and I was thinking about gifting myself a longarm. Wasn't sure I could justify the expense. These wonderful ideas just sealed the deal! Thanks for the inspiration:)
I had watched a similar video before and last night actually dreamed about making a Minky quilt this way. and here you are doing one. Thank you very much for these great tips.
This was fun and helpful. I do not have access to a long arm but I could see adapting the technique to a home machine for small quilts, especially baby quilts. I also love the quilt with the different fibers. That was great to show in this video. Perfect. Thanks.
I love this idea. But still cannot understand how you complete all the piecing and then come back and do the quilting. Would you do a video of when you get to the end and then come back to the top to do the quilting part? Thanks
What a great technique. when I initially looked at the title, I wasn't going to watch, but glad I did.....can't wait to make my first strip pieced quilt.... what a great way to practice on the longarm and create a useful quilt!....Thanks!!
I just set up the moxie and I’m so excited to start quilting up some fun fun things I’ve watched more videos than I can number! I’m new at this but I’m ready!!!
That is so exciting. Isn't it great that we can absorb all this information in preparation for doing the various steps. Also, just the creativity of the fabric selections is such fun to see. Enjoy your journey!
Am so enjoying this series. You work well together and make things look much easier than I find them to be for me. I quilt on the sweet sixteen, so really enjoy demos while your using both long arm and sit down. Thank you
To eliminate a tie off on the right, could you fold over, finger press and then top stitch from right to left instead of coming all the way back left and starting again? You maybe would need to go a bit slower coming back. Just a thought.
I do strip quilts alot to practice on my long arm with! I donate them to Casa Kids! I don't have a channel lock on my machine! I'm sure there is a way to make it lock but not sure! I have heard to use clamps but not sure where or how on the machine
Great tutorial ladies, thankyou you just took hours off my projects!!
Excellent video and ideas! Great job guys!

I am definitely inspired!

Fun! I use a portable cordless iron to press the seam if I’m using cotton.

I think you would just roll the quilt back up so you can start at the top and then go from there quilting each section back down to the bottom.
Great ideas! Love the creative split screen method to shoot the video while also social distancing.
Going to try one. Thanks again for the great video.
This strip piecing would be great for a backing!!! If you only had a bit of this and that, make a strip pieced backing!
That is a great idea!

Can't wait for you to show me this I've always wanted to do a baby quilt with Micky and if I can do it on my long arm machine that's awesome!
You can do it! We hope you'll show us what you make.
I like this idea for quick strip quilts!
Easy Peasy projects. Thank you

You both made stripping look easy. On my list to do next. Thank you!
Love this!!! Just got the Moxie. This would be a great way to practice!!
Great ideas!! Thank you. Now if only I had time to try everything... lol.

Makes sense to me!
Love this! Would be nice if you do something while quilting that you show it and what it should look like. I’m thinking of the channel locks.

Do you quilt the strips as you go or put it all together and then go back and quilt?
I made one on my longarm after watching your video but it won't let me post a pic. Fun.
Did you put batting in the minky quilts?
I love this but I get long eye lashes on the back side of my quilts. Mabe you could show how to get them out.
what is a couhing foot
These are just brutally awkward to watch.
