  • Let us start an easy quilting project. It could be your first quilting project. What you need are 36 squares sewn together in a patchy square. I used my 6 inch stripes in different shades of gray (but way more fun) to cut and mix. Why 6 inch? Because it gives you space large enough to try out a pattern but not get bored. Today I will quilt six of those squares with variations of wavy lines. Wavy lines are very nice for beginners. Nobody expects them to be perfect, and you can practice the spacing between the lines and learn how to move the sandwich. Also, it is a very easy pattern that can be used to create wonderful and abstract designs. So, lets quilt!
    I also added some nice music @liborioconti . It is relaxing, meditative and it is similar to the music I listen to when I quilt. I hope you like it 😊

    Hi there, thank you for doing this sampler project. I never knew wavy lines could be so effective. I am also going to get practice with traveling on curves. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy the rest of your day.

      I love wavy lines ❤. And they are so versatile. Many fillers are, depending how you fill the space. I will try to show anything between 4 to 6 squares at a time. I hope you will have fun 😀

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been practicing your other beginner tutorials and seen much improvement in my quilting. Will most definitely do this one too. Your work is beautiful and your tutorials are great. Have a good evening.

      Thank you so much!!!!❤ I happy to hear that. Try them out. It is all abut transfer of your idea to the fabric. Once you leran what you need for that, regular quilting is easy :)❤❤❤❤

    It is just amazing how simply echoing shapes and filling in a space can result in such a striking piece. This is probably the easiest thing a beginner can do, really. Lovely! I have only a few triangular spaces to go in my lap quilt/couch throw. After that is completed, I plan to do simpler projects as far as piecing like this one in grays you have here so I can get to the quilting faster. Have a great weekend! ~Cynthia

      I loved this project. Everything was working. I had time and concept to implement from start to finish. It was six videos and they had to fit together. I always loved those organic, simple shapes. They are a bit more modern and cannot be applied everywhere but they are so easy to quilt!!!! and yes, they are perfect to get the fill you your own skills and what your machine can do❤❤❤❤❤

    I have been having so much fun quilting wavy lines! What foot are you using?

    • @quiltingnerd
      @quiltingnerd  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is one of the best things to say about your acitivities! that they are fun! I am using three feet: ruler, and two gliding quilting feet that came with my Janome, the one with small opening and wide toe open foot. I paid attention to quilting abilities of my machine during selection.❤❤❤

    I am glad I found your channel. What kind of foot is it you are sewing with?

    • @quiltingnerd
      @quiltingnerd  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am very happy ou found my channel too!. I am using a quilting foot that came with my Janome. It is a gliding foot and I use it almost as often as my ruler foot.

      @@quiltingnerd , thank you for the fast reply. I never saw this foot before but it seems that it works very nice and neat as a measurement tool; it looks like the appliqué foot that came with my machine. I've tried it and it seems to work reasonably fine. Of course, I will have to do a lot of practising. But I am looking forward to progressing faster with the help of your videos.
