It isn't an easy thing to do by putting oneself out there,I have to agree with Tanya on the negative comments about hair and Mom talking.This isn't a video for that anyway.I have to say I really appreciate Jenny for even putting these video's out here.They gave me courage to try new things and she answers my questions and helps me a lot.My daughter lives to far away and my Mother passed 13 years ago so I have no one to help but Jenny.Thank Jenny and your daughter was just fine.
L carter I agree re: Jenny doing these videos! Like you, I focus on the technique they are showing. I used to only make quilts if the pattern was the size I needed and did not have the courage to make changes to meet my needs. Thanks to Jenny's videos, I have gained knowledge and courage to try new techniques, make adjustments to patterns and have even used information to teach demos at my quilt group. And if you really paid attention to "all the interruptions by Mom" they were additional helpful information for the viewer. For Gena Caruthers I "polish" my sewing surface with furniture polish to help it glide and place books around my machine to give me a large, level area for my quilt to rest on while I machine quilt. Hope this helps you.
Hillary has a real talent with instruction. She is clear and easy to follow. I love that it's not "polished". Like her Mom, they seem so real that anyone can do it! Instead of getting caught up with perfection (which keeps you from going forward), they seem relaxed and fun. This encourages me to take a risk and go forward with learning a new skill.
Isn't it just amazing that this funny little tutorial has been seen 2,554705 times? I love it. I have watched it a couple times. The first time I felt frustrated with the interactions ( probably mother daughter stuff of my own), but on second viewing I am really taken by the respectful way in which mother and daughter communicate in an effort to help people like me learn how to quilt. Thank you Jenny and Hilary! Happy New Year and congrats on a very successful and enduring post.
I agree. I am just starting making be quilts and can't wait to to be start in my be second. My first turned out maybe in a be B+. Next will be better. Thanks for these ladies be both are GREAT
Just a Reminder , These Video's are an Awesome , FREE Class!!!! Did I mention they are FREE?? How Dare some of you Pick at how they were presented. The computer makes it so easy to say what ever you like. I'm sure you wouldn't say those things to someone if you were standing in front of them. How insensitive!!! Jenny and Family, I love All Your Videos, and your shop!!! Thank you for what you do for the world of quilting. I bless the day I found your site!! THANK YOU THANK YOU. :)
If someone has tips or observations to add to any situation or conversation - it hurts no one who has the ability to take objective criticism in the light it should be taken...including that which comes across as sounding like a bit of moral superiority on other's observations/comments. There was nothing crass or outright rude in anyone's comment...I sensed no ill-will. Perhaps (from someone who may be used to being coddled or who likes to be told only good things) they may/can sound a little harsh, abrasive or blunt, but still... they were words, information...nothing more...nothing less. *You have to be able to set aside any emotion or projection of other's and learn from an observer to do this though* What I took away (aside from a great tutorial on machine quilting) was that in something that takes great preparation (quilting or making tutorial videos) if you can try to eliminate all sources of distractions *evidenced by hair and interruption comments* the more focused your viewers will be on what it is that you are trying to teach them. This can be a great learning moment for those who are actually able/willing to learn from not only supporters & fans, but their critics as well. You'll learn a lot less if you live only inside an echo chamber of what you want to hear vs what you may need to hear. It's all in perspective.
Some people can be so rude. I think the mother and daughter did an excellent job of the video and obviously they enjoy doing it together so I don't see anything wrong with their presentation.
Wow, this is the first tutorial I have watched that actually told you how to set up your machine. They usually just start showing you the quilting part. I have never tried this but I intend to after watching this. Those that keep complaining about the bangs evidently wasn't interested in the quilting. Jenny is a great teacher and her daughter has lots of years to learn. The best thing is to find positive things instead of negative. Jenny you and Hillary did an awesome job. Love your tutorials.
I agree absolutely. Before this ... I was so afraid to try myself. Thank you so much!!! Excellent advice, great clarity!! Please do more videos with your Mom!!! Thank you!
Great, informative video. What a poised young lady, she appears so relaxed in front of the camera. I always enjoy Jenny'video tutorials and it looks like her daughter is following in her footsteps. It feels like having friends showing you how to do something new. Thanks, Ann
why would you guys make comments on her bangs? get more professional? cut the bangs? its distracting? i never noticed her bangs. she is really good at giving a tutorial on how to free motion quilt.
Everyone is so grumpy about Hillary's hair. I like the way it looks. I wear mine like that only my bangs go past my chin and cover half of my face lol. I think she did a great job show us how to machine quilt. I'm assuming Hillary is close to my age (24) and I'm always happy to see other people around my age doing stuff like this. I grew up watching my grandmother quilt and sew and even knit and crochet, and I always loved trying on my own. I'm actually pregnant with my second baby, I came across a baby quilt made by you guys in search of making my own for my baby girl, and I ended up sitting here all day watching all the things you made! Now I want to make pouches and quilts and all sorts of other stuff!
Terry Dee I'm not sure it's really a problem to her. :) After all I can see just fine though my bangs and they are longer than hers. Just be happy and enjoy how awesome she is.
+Terry Dee Let me explain something that, clearly, nobody has before: It's none of your business. It isn't affecting your life. It isn't impeding you living your life as you see fit. Therefore, allow me to repeat: IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. If you don't like the video, just keep your mouth shut (fingers off the keyboard) and move on. The rest of us aren't ignorant little hillbillies and don't want to be distracted by your vitriol on a QUILTING video.
Love the video! Love the mother/daughter interaction! The smiles are radiant! Please try and ignore the neggies (my abbreviation for negative type people) Your daughter is darling, wish I could be as close to my daughter. The neggies can go to another tutorial offered by someone else that don't have bangs, but I will venture to say that they won't get the awesome instruction and techniques they will find with Missouri Quilt Co. Some people just can't help themselves, they just have to be ugly. For me....thank you so very much for all the time you have spent helping us!
Hilary's hairstyle is a cute look for young girls ! I loved the hair, loved Hilary, loved the video and could only say thank you over and over for all the many videos. I have learned more about quilting from Missouri Star than anywhere else. And your website is the best. Ignore rude comments. Your are a great source for quilters. Thank you...
I am so happy to have Jenny to depend on for all my quilting questions and I personally appreciated this video with her daughter because it was refreshing to see the two of them working together.
You both are good teachers! You look like you have allot of fun! I am just learning to quilt, you have helped me allot. Shown me how fun and relaxing quilting can be!
Guess I am really late to this party, but I found this tutorial the best. Have bee afraid to free motion quilt until I saw how easy you gals have made it. Thanks
This was a very helpful video, but slightly irritating to watch due to Mum’s (Jenny’s) continual interruptions. I thought Hillary was doing very well & would have explained all the info without all the ‘prompting’. There were about 20-30 interruptions which made listening to Hillary’s explanations more challenging.
I enjoyed this tutorial very much --- I always love yours! I am ready to begin practicing free motion quilting, but have a question. For this I have been told to buy a walking foot (I did!), a 1/4" quilting foot (I did!) and a foot like your daughter recommends -- I have that one now, too! What is the difference of these 3 feet? What are the different uses for these 3 feet? Or is it simply a personal preference? Help! Thanks - Cindy
Hopefully someone has helped you with this question by now, but for those just new. The 1/4 inch foot is for accurate piecing, the walking foot is for straight quilting through the sandwich layers and the free motion foot allows you to do quilting designs like the girls are demonstrating.
I always love your tutorials I have never done a video, and no one is perfect . You are easy to follow. I watch one of your tutorials every night, sometimes I watch them over and over. I have sewn all my life but it is more fun with your tips I just wish my sweet Mother was here to enjoy this with me. she. would have loved you
To anyone looking to simplify your quilt planning (and you can easily use Leila's advise while using this app I just released ‘Quilter’, an iOS app to help layout/design/ and calculate yard requirements for quilts that I worked really hard on. I am trying to get some good feedback on how to make it a really useful quilting tool! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I hope it makes quilt design a less time consuming process so that you can dive right into the actual quilting! facebook.com/Quiltler/ Thanks for taking a look! Chris
What charm pack was used again? I couldn't quite understand the name of the designer and the particular charm pack. I'll be making my first baby quilt soon and LOVE the one she has for the changing pad! Great video also! I'm saddened by the immaturity of all the irrelevant comments as well. SMH
No one ever answered your question, and maybe it's too late for your project, but she said Aneela Hoey (designer) and I believe she said "Sherbet Tips" - Not sure about that.
I love that you showed basic Free Motion Quilting. It is important for people new to it to know they can break the "rules" and that practice, practice, practice will make them feel more confident and their FMQ will improve!
Your "quilt as you go" video was the first I watched! And now, three weeks later, I'm considering free motion quilting my first jelly roll quilt. So excited, thank you for the AMAZING videos.
If would be easier to follow if mama had backed off completely- completely! Have some confidence in your daughter mama, she did great- don't steal her thunder!
Thank you so much for the tutorial.I enjoy your sweet sense of humor and the close ups(that really helps me).Keep up the good work.Your daughter has your wonderful smile.
Too many grumpy old farts in the comments section. Her hair has absolutely nothing to do with her skill and the way the demonstration was executed; it didn't get in the way of the tutorial even slightly and this is clear as you're still saying "I still enjoyed the video". Focus on the reason why you're here and what you learned instead of how a young woman chooses to wear her hair. This isn't the 1940s, for crying out loud!
Everyone leave mother alone. She is use to doing these teaching type things. Her interruptions are very helpful as the daughter would sometimes assume that we all know the little tips.
Thank you for this easy free motion video that explains everything I wanted to know in easy to understand steps. I have about 15 quilt tops waiting to be quilted. I have hand quilted, but never found instructions that didn't scare me a little, and I didn't want to ruin my beautiful quilt tops. Hillary has given me the courage to try the free motion.
Finally! I've watched several tutorials on free motion quilting and still come up with "eyelashes." Adjusted the tension as Hillary suggested and it came out great! Thank you Hillary.
I recently began quilting this summer. My 89 year old dad was diagnosed with cancer and I spent this summer as his caregiver so I was looking for something to keep me busy. I love this tutorial as well as all the others from Missouri Star and thank you for doing them. This is how I learned to quilt. I agree with the previous post. I do not respond to videos that I watch, but felt it necessary this time. People need to remember that it is a teaching video not a fashion show. The video did exactly what it was supposed to, taught us to free motion quilt.
Appreciate the video but if the daughter is going to do the demonstration the Mother needs to shut up so we can hear the daughter talk. Rudely keeps interrupting her.
I do not understand picking on someone about their looks, hair or clothes. The young lady is fine as she is. She was sharing knowledge with you and you feel it necessary to pick her apart. I think it shows where her heart is and where yours is.
Sorry ladies, but all I could do was concentrate on her messy hair. I have to view the video over again to get something out of it. Being professional is also looking the part.
Bonnie Duncan I agree and iv never commented online anything before now but I just need to now. If a person is distracted so much then look for a different video there are sooo many out there. There’s NO need to comment about it or complain. If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.
This is so fantastic! Thank you so much for posting and inviting your daughter to join :) I love the look of the free motion quilting, can't wait to try!!
I think the video was awesome......the bangs however weren't a part of the video, the video was to teach how to do free motion quilting, this wasn't a hair fashion video. Hillary seems to be sweet, lovely, and the bangs shouldn't be an issue here. Thanks, I learned a lot by watching the tutorial.....jenny you and your family are doing an awesome job !
She’s such a mom helping her daughter to do the tutorial! LOL! Love the daughters attitude because she is so gracious to her momma though she is hovering over her! 🥰💜
What a great tutorial. After a few years of straight lines I'm ready! Thank you both. Jenny did a great job of pretending to be a newbie with insightful questions, beginners mind. And Hilary, so poised, you make it look so easy with great tips.
Thank you so much for making this video. I've just finished my first big quilting project (it's a 62" x 62" wall hanging for my bedroom) and was feeling quite overwhelmed about quilting it altogether. The basting spray alone will be such a time saver, but now I'm looking forward to practicing the stippling stitch so I can use it on my quilt. My quilt has a strong geometric pattern through it so I think the stippling will soften the look a bit and add a lot of character to the finished piece. Again, thank you!
Thank you so much! This video was great. I had never seen stippling actually being done before, and you make it look so easy! I know it isn't though! You make excellent partners.
Thanks for the great video! I finished my first large (crib-sized) free motion quilt project yesterday and I was so frustrated at all of the imperfections. A few times I almost ripped it all out. But I kept going and the more I went the easier it got. Thank you, Hillary, for your gentle reassurance and reminder that yes there are going to be mistakes but nobody is going to notice them! Also good demo on the basting spray - I'm adding that to my shopping list next time I'm at the fabric store. Keep up the good work ladies!
Hi Jenny, The interaction between you and your daughter is wonderful! It is so nice to see you have instilled the love of quilting to a new generation... what a Iovely legacy. I found myself wondering if it would be possible to do this stipple free form quilting on the quilt as you go quilt you made that was so easy? Looks like it might be fun especially on the 4 inch stripes and a nice counter point to the straight lines. :)
I can't believe with all the fabulous tutorials we get from MSQC FREE that anyone would comment on something like hair. This is beyond ridiculous! I really don't get it. Thanks Hilary and Jenny for another great tute!! :)
The hair really distracts from the tutorial. And don't worry about replying something like "this is a quilting tutorial" because I won't be coming back to this site to see it. Mom's chit chat is unnerving!
I didn't even NOTICE Hair until I was reading comments to see if anyone asked about stitch length - whats WRONG with people? I still didn't notice hair.
Get scissors and cut those damn bangs! It distracted me and she had to keep shaking her head to get the bangs out of her eyes. Plus they are down past her nose.
lena keel ....how rude! Learn some manners......if you don’t like what you see or hear , just leave the site please, your comments are not necessary. Thank you and have a blessed day.
Awesome video ladies, thank you! Despite being an experienced quilter, its been many years since I completed a quilt on my "normal" sewing machine, so I am nervous. All these tips have helped so much! Thanks!
Thank you Jenny and Hillary! I've sewn crafts and such, off and on for 40 plus years, and other than making mini quilt patches for my jeans in the 60's (ha) I've never quilted before. My 30 year old machine pooped out last week, and my new fangled machine is full of marvelous surprises that got me searching thru youtube. After watching several helpful Missouri Star videos I decided to attempt a crazy scrap baby changing mat (Thanks for idea Hillary) In one afternoon I made an adorable 'lil mini quilt, patched, quilted and hand bound. My 3 diaper wearing grandkids are visiting next month, perfect! (this actually has nothing to do w/ free motion but wanted to thank you!) I am ready to move up to a baby quilt!!!
What a wonderful tutors you and your daughter make. I have been piecing for years but seldom quilt as my arthritis is so bad, now I will machine quilt. FYI your daughter is lovely and her hair was just fine, just as the young ones wear it now, but it did not bother me at all.
Phyllis: I so agree. I'm older myself and you are so right. We both recognize that the younger girls do wear their hair this way now, even though it's two years since you typed your comment they still are wearing it this way! I appreciate your comment. Jenny and Hillary are both lovely. I was teaching my young daughter to sew and was so enjoying it but I became very ill and she just doesn't feel comfortable around me anymore. I so love watching this mom and daughter together, expert and next generation expert in her own right together laughing and sharing. So grateful I found this channel. :)
Wow now this is a great video ! Even 9 yrs later lol this is better than any of the new but my tool videos today ! I love your daily deals ! And I love your videos ! Your girls a natural on teaching ! Man I wished I lived closer ! I’d love to take classes ! Ty ladies !
Thank you for this! I have been struggling all day with (first time!) machine quilting and your advice about the upper tension has saved my sanity. Thank you!
This was great info and well presented. I must say the added challenge of standing would be difficult. : ) Wonderful mother daughter team. Nice to share a hobby.
Thanks for making this wonderful video. I love the relaxed approach. You always make it look like its easy enough for me to do it, and the conversational interchange makes me feel like I'm there with you. You don't emphasize being perfect but enjoying the creative process, and the practice. Great pointers and explanations especially on tension, pattern, etc., for your own machine. Thoroughly enjoyable.
great tutorial and I never paid attention to your daughters hair, actually never noticed until I read some comments some people are just distracted easily, they just need to keep focused and with your experience and having to answer a lot of our question, I just saw you asking questions we might ask your daughter, so I never thought you two were fighting for talking time just clarifying for some of us new quilters. Keep your tutorials going....love them!
Great video. This is the first one I’ve watched that actually made sense to me. Going to be trying free motion on my next quilt. In the meantime I’ll practice with my scraps :-)
I love all your videos! But my favorite is the one where your daughter explains how to machine quilt. She got me started on a task I thought I never would attempt! Also love that you and your daughter have such a loving and creative relationship. It shows!
I really appreciated the video as I'm trying to learn how to do free motion quilting on my home machine. The video was very helpful. What was not helpful were the ridiculous comments about Hillary's hair. My mother always said..."if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Thanks for that advise mom, and hopefully others here will take it as well. Thanks Jenny and Hillary for all you do.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I recently got a new machine and the instructions said to put the tension on 0. I turned my mug rug over after I was done quilting it and the back was all "Dragon teeth and Eyelashes". So when I watched your tutorial again I put the tension way up and it worked like a charm.
Thank you for making this tutorial! I consider the two of them carrying on a conversation to teach us this technique. I, personally, appreciate the mother taking the roll of "color man." All she is doing is giving answers to questions she thinks a beginner would have. Thanks for taking the time for all this useful information!✂️🤗
Thank you! I just ditched my dinosaur sewing machine (1978 Kenmore with no quilting foot, that I hadn’t used since 2004) and got an Accomplish. I’m super excited to start my first free motion quilting project tomorrow. Yippee for quilting spray. This is my 10th quilt since June 2020 everything else was straight line stitched because of dinosaur technology, which looks nice too but I am ready for adventure. Thanks so much, I enjoy so many of your videos since I started watching last year. Cheers🥂

If someone has tips or observations to add to any situation or conversation - it hurts no one who has the ability to take objective criticism in the light it should be taken...including that which comes across as sounding like a bit of moral superiority on other's observations/comments.

What I took away (aside from a great tutorial on machine quilting) was that in something that takes great preparation (quilting or making tutorial videos) if you can try to eliminate all sources of distractions *evidenced by hair and interruption comments* the more focused your viewers will be on what it is that you are trying to teach them.
This can be a great learning moment for those who are actually able/willing to learn from not only supporters & fans, but their critics as well.
You'll learn a lot less if you live only inside an echo chamber of what you want to hear vs what you may need to hear.
It's all in perspective.
I would coment on it anytime love, im a mother to, so ... 😉 she sees with one eye, cool😂
Well said!
This was a very helpful video for a beginner quilter!
Some people can be so rude. I think the mother and daughter did an excellent job of the video and obviously they enjoy doing it together so I don't see anything wrong with their presentation.

I like my hair and I'm sure Hillary likes hers and you like yours. :) People are different and different things make them happy.
+Viridian Jolt Exactly... Seriously i wish ppl would bitch less these days and mind their own business more!!

What charm pack was used again? I couldn't quite understand the name of the designer and the particular charm pack. I'll be making my first baby quilt soon and LOVE the one she has for the changing pad! Great video also! I'm saddened by the immaturity of all the irrelevant comments as well. SMH
No one ever answered your question, and maybe it's too late for your project, but she said Aneela Hoey (designer) and I believe she said "Sherbet Tips" - Not sure about that.
Exercises for bed ridden
Jenny you should be proud - she did a good job. thanks for your videos.
I love that you showed basic Free Motion Quilting. It is important for people new to it to know they can break the "rules" and that practice, practice, practice will make them feel more confident and their FMQ will improve!
Your "quilt as you go" video was the first I watched! And now, three weeks later, I'm considering free motion quilting my first jelly roll quilt. So excited, thank you for the AMAZING videos.
If would be easier to follow if mama had backed off completely- completely! Have some confidence in your daughter mama, she did great- don't steal her thunder!
I agree with you Connie.
Thank you so much for the tutorial.I enjoy your sweet sense of humor and the close ups(that really helps me).Keep up the good work.Your daughter has your wonderful smile.
Too many grumpy old farts in the comments section. Her hair has absolutely nothing to do with her skill and the way the demonstration was executed; it didn't get in the way of the tutorial even slightly and this is clear as you're still saying "I still enjoyed the video". Focus on the reason why you're here and what you learned instead of how a young woman chooses to wear her hair. This isn't the 1940s, for crying out loud!
Everyone leave mother alone. She is use to doing these teaching type things. Her interruptions are very helpful as the daughter would sometimes assume that we all know the little tips.
Hello Everritt
As a novice quilter, please show me how to quilt something large like a bed spread on a small machine with 7 or 8 inch throat. Thanks.
Thank you for this easy free motion video that explains everything I wanted to know in easy to understand steps. I have about 15 quilt tops waiting to be quilted. I have hand quilted, but never found instructions that didn't scare me a little, and I didn't want to ruin my beautiful quilt tops. Hillary has given me the courage to try the free motion.
+R Cotton So glad you enjoyed the video! We hope you try it out! Happy quilting!
I am on my 3rd quilt, but first jelly roll. What is the best way/design to use to machine quilt it.
Finally! I've watched several tutorials on free motion quilting and still come up with "eyelashes." Adjusted the tension as Hillary suggested and it came out great! Thank you Hillary.
Get a grip about the bangs, guys!! Didn't bother me a bit, I was watching her HANDS!!
I recently began quilting this summer. My 89 year old dad was diagnosed with cancer and I spent this summer as his caregiver so I was looking for something to keep me busy. I love this tutorial as well as all the others from Missouri Star and thank you for doing them. This is how I learned to quilt. I agree with the previous post. I do not respond to videos that I watch, but felt it necessary this time. People need to remember that it is a teaching video not a fashion show. The video did exactly what it was supposed to, taught us to free motion quilt.

Appreciate the video but if the daughter is going to do the demonstration the Mother needs to shut up so we can hear the daughter talk. Rudely keeps interrupting her.
I do not understand picking on someone about their looks, hair or clothes. The young lady is fine as she is. She was sharing knowledge with you and you feel it necessary to pick her apart. I think it shows where her heart is and where yours is.
Bonnie Duncan Totally agree. I can't believe the rudeness of people who are getting free information..
Sorry ladies, but all I could do was concentrate on her messy hair. I have to view the video over again to get something out of it. Being professional is also looking the part.
Bonnie Duncan I agree and iv never commented online anything before now but I just need to now. If a person is distracted so much then look for a different video there are sooo many out there. There’s NO need to comment about it or complain. If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.
Maybe she is growing out her bangs. Just leave her alone. She did a great job.
I almost want to go and help her with getting her hair pinned back....but maybe that is how she likes it.
I can't get past the bangs covering your eyes.
Please, Missy, clip those bangs to the side while recording. 😉 Love the demo.
This is so fantastic! Thank you so much for posting and inviting your daughter to join :) I love the look of the free motion quilting, can't wait to try!!
I think the video was awesome......the bangs however weren't a part of the video, the video was to teach how to do free motion quilting, this wasn't a hair fashion video. Hillary seems to be sweet, lovely, and the bangs shouldn't be an issue here.
Thanks, I learned a lot by watching the tutorial.....jenny you and your family are doing an awesome job !
She’s such a mom helping her daughter to do the tutorial! LOL! Love the daughters attitude because she is so gracious to her momma though she is hovering over her! 🥰💜
(The mom interrupting her daughter really bugged me.)
What a great tutorial. After a few years of straight lines I'm ready! Thank you both. Jenny did a great job of pretending to be a newbie with insightful questions, beginners mind. And Hilary, so poised, you make it look so easy with great tips.
Great instructional video. Makes it look easy and doable enough to try! I wish I could quilt with my daughter, she is not really interested right now.
Thank you so much for making this video. I've just finished my first big quilting project (it's a 62" x 62" wall hanging for my bedroom) and was feeling quite overwhelmed about quilting it altogether. The basting spray alone will be such a time saver, but now I'm looking forward to practicing the stippling stitch so I can use it on my quilt. My quilt has a strong geometric pattern through it so I think the stippling will soften the look a bit and add a lot of character to the finished piece. Again, thank you!
Could Hillary do a tutorial on making one of the baby changing mat? I would like to make one.
When is Hillary going to make another tutorial , been awhile
Thank you so much! This video was great. I had never seen stippling actually being done before, and you make it look so easy! I know it isn't though! You make excellent partners.
WOW, THANK YOU, NOW I AM GOING TO DO IT--I LEANED SO MUCH---GOOD TEACHING
Thanks for the great video! I finished my first large (crib-sized) free motion quilt project yesterday and I was so frustrated at all of the imperfections. A few times I almost ripped it all out. But I kept going and the more I went the easier it got. Thank you, Hillary, for your gentle reassurance and reminder that yes there are going to be mistakes but nobody is going to notice them! Also good demo on the basting spray - I'm adding that to my shopping list next time I'm at the fabric store. Keep up the good work ladies!
Hi Jenny, The interaction between you and your daughter is wonderful! It is so nice to see you have instilled the love of quilting to a new generation... what a Iovely legacy. I found myself wondering if it would be possible to do this stipple free form quilting on the quilt as you go quilt you made that was so easy? Looks like it might be fun especially on the 4 inch stripes and a nice counter point to the straight lines. :)
MSQC never disappoints. Informative , fun and FAMILY!
When I took a beginning free motion vlasz locally, we used 3 layers of thick paper towels to practice on. Not as pricey as fabric.
Jenny. I am from New Zealand and just love your tutorials.thank you very much.Claudette
I can't believe with all the fabulous tutorials we get from MSQC FREE that anyone would comment on something like hair. This is beyond ridiculous! I really don't get it. Thanks Hilary and Jenny for another great tute!! :)
The hair really distracts from the tutorial. And don't worry about replying something like "this is a quilting tutorial" because I won't be coming back to this site to see it. Mom's chit chat is unnerving!
Your loss Lena. I have taught myself how to quilt by Jenny's tutorial. Thank you Jenny! and Hilary. Cute name by the way.
I didn't even NOTICE Hair until I was reading comments to see if anyone asked about stitch length - whats WRONG with people? I still didn't notice hair.
Get scissors and cut those damn bangs! It distracted me and she had to keep shaking her head to get the bangs out of her eyes. Plus they are down past her nose.
lena keel ....how rude! Learn some manners......if you don’t like what you see or hear , just leave the site please, your comments are not necessary. Thank you and have a blessed day.
You ladies are precious, thank you so much for this tutorial. I can’t wait to get started!
Awesome video ladies, thank you! Despite being an experienced quilter, its been many years since I completed a quilt on my "normal" sewing machine, so I am nervous. All these tips have helped so much! Thanks!
Excellent tutorial! Glad to see you girls enjoying each other! Reminds me of all the great times I had with my mother sewing over many years!! Thx!! 😍
I am brand new to quilting and I am a visual person.This video was very helpful.
Ok I liked the video but have liked it better if J
enny had not interrupted SO MUCH
Get those bangs cut. Your beautiful eyes are covered
Thank you Jenny and Hillary! I've sewn crafts and such, off and on for 40 plus years, and other than making mini quilt patches for my jeans in the 60's (ha) I've never quilted before. My 30 year old machine pooped out last week, and my new fangled machine is full of marvelous surprises that got me searching thru youtube. After watching several helpful Missouri Star videos I decided to attempt a crazy scrap baby changing mat (Thanks for idea Hillary) In one afternoon I made an adorable 'lil mini quilt, patched, quilted and hand bound. My 3 diaper wearing grandkids are visiting next month, perfect! (this actually has nothing to do w/ free motion but wanted to thank you!) I am ready to move up to a baby quilt!!!
by the way - I stitched in the ditch ...someday I'll free motion : )
What a wonderful tutors you and your daughter make. I have been piecing for years but seldom quilt as my arthritis is so bad, now I will machine quilt. FYI your daughter is lovely and her hair was just fine, just as the young ones wear it now, but it did not bother me at all.
Phyllis: I so agree. I'm older myself and you are so right. We both recognize that the younger girls do wear their hair this way now, even though it's two years since you typed your comment they still are wearing it this way! I appreciate your comment. Jenny and Hillary are both lovely. I was teaching my young daughter to sew and was so enjoying it but I became very ill and she just doesn't feel comfortable around me anymore. I so love watching this mom and daughter together, expert and next generation expert in her own right together laughing and sharing. So grateful I found this channel. :)
Thank you for sharing your expertise, I am ready to try it out. The hair, its your style, don't change a thing.
Thank you, I’ve been wanting to know how to do this
Geez, people are obnoxious sometimes in their comments. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, I found it really helpful.
I love v your quilting tips and patterns. Thank you.
Wow now this is a great video ! Even 9 yrs later lol this is better than any of the new but my tool videos today ! I love your daily deals ! And I love your videos ! Your girls a natural on teaching ! Man I wished I lived closer ! I’d love to take classes ! Ty ladies !
I only got about 6 minutes in and had to stop cause I wanted mom to stop talking.
How can you see what you're doing with your bangs in the way. I love this video, but I want to push your bangs back all the time.
Agreed. Use a bobby pin or SOMETHING to get those bangs out of the way. I couldn't concentrate on the video
Thank you for a helpful video for us beginners! I need all the help I can get and videos are the best way for me.
Brilliant video, many thanks.
Thank you for this! I have been struggling all day with (first time!) machine quilting and your advice about the upper tension has saved my sanity. Thank you!
Thank you this was very helpful
It's wonderful to see mom and daughter together. Excellent video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
If you’re doing a very large quilt, could you quilting each block as you go before you put it all together?
Absolutely! You could assemble a large quilt using the Quilt as You Go method!
What a SWEET mother-daughter relationship you have!!!
You are both so helpful and I learned so much about machine quilting.
Thank you .
Che bello... bravissime...👏👏👏💖💖💖💖
This was great info and well presented. I must say the added challenge of standing would be difficult. : ) Wonderful mother daughter team. Nice to share a hobby.
Thanks for making this wonderful video. I love the relaxed approach. You always make it look like its easy enough for me to do it, and the conversational interchange makes me feel like I'm there with you. You don't emphasize being perfect but enjoying the creative process, and the practice. Great pointers and explanations especially on tension, pattern, etc., for your own machine. Thoroughly enjoyable.
i love this, now i understand.
Now I understand is the BEST compliment we could ever get. We're so glad and can't wait to see your work, H Alhamoud!!
Oh my gosh! Let your daughter do her job. She’s doing fine... you’re just getting in the way.
The daughter needs her mother's guidance. She is obviously an amateur holding onto her mother's coat tails.
great tutorial and I never paid attention to your daughters hair, actually never noticed until I read some comments some people are just distracted easily, they just need to keep focused and with your experience and having to answer a lot of our question, I just saw you asking questions we might ask your daughter, so I never thought you two were fighting for talking time just clarifying for some of us new quilters. Keep your tutorials going....love them!
Thank you so much Suellyn White!!
Great video. This is the first one I’ve watched that actually made sense to me. Going to be trying free motion on my next quilt. In the meantime I’ll practice with my scraps :-)
I love all your videos! But my favorite is the one where your daughter explains how to machine quilt. She got me started on a task I thought I never would attempt! Also love that you and your daughter have such a loving and creative relationship. It shows!
LaVonne - Vonnie Gunderson goodnightsleep
Great tutorial. Thanks Jenny and Hillary. You guyz are awesome 💜
I love you guys! Thank you for taking the fear out of this for me!
Thank you, I love you and your daughter, can't wait to start practising.
I really appreciated the video as I'm trying to learn how to do free motion quilting on my home machine. The video was very helpful. What was not helpful were the ridiculous comments about Hillary's hair. My mother always said..."if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Thanks for that advise mom, and hopefully others here will take it as well. Thanks Jenny and Hillary for all you do.
Surely that includes making comments on other's comments..no...?
awesome, thanks, palm springs, ca.
Love Quilt on the Wall with houses.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I recently got a new machine and the instructions said to put the tension on 0. I turned my mug rug over after I was done quilting it and the back was all "Dragon teeth and Eyelashes". So when I watched your tutorial again I put the tension way up and it worked like a charm.
So helpful for a new quilter such as myself! More videos like this one please!!
you guys are adorable while you help us learn. I am making my very first quilt and prepping for the quilting. Time to practice!
Thank you for making this tutorial! I consider the two of them carrying on a conversation to teach us this technique. I, personally, appreciate the mother taking the roll of "color man." All she is doing is giving answers to questions she thinks a beginner would have. Thanks for taking the time for all this useful information!✂️🤗
Thank you! I just ditched my dinosaur sewing machine (1978 Kenmore with no quilting foot, that I hadn’t used since 2004) and got an Accomplish. I’m super excited to start my first free motion quilting project tomorrow. Yippee for quilting spray. This is my 10th quilt since June 2020 everything else was straight line stitched because of dinosaur technology, which looks nice too but I am ready for adventure. Thanks so much, I enjoy so many of your videos since I started watching last year. Cheers🥂
