@glory50fyde aww thank you! It's still glide 40 weight thread like usual but it's blacklight compatible. We have a bundle here: boldnotionquilting.com/product/black-light-bundle-40-wt-glide-glow-bundle/ But you can purchase any one of them independently of the other one.
In my opinion this is the only way to bind it’s a way from 100 years old so it must be right. Old women quilting was done the fast and strong way at every thing they did that’s why we can still find quilts over a hundred years old.
My mom quilted all her life I learned from her of course and she from her mother. I just never understand the young people doing measurements in seven eights and and silly little measurements like that. The real quilters would just use common since and say 1 inch instead of seven eights. How silly just making it seam complicated. Young people I guess
I’m sorry but you don’t need a special foot I only know this way from my grandma and I’m 76. Women doing it this way when treadle machine came into being. I don’t have or never knew my mom to have a special foot for it. Slide your binding up on quilt edge flush and put your foot down and sew. I’m so glad someone is now using the old world way of binding. Thank you
I don’t know if you realize this or not but this method of binding was the only way the way all the old time quilters did their binding my grand mother would be140 years old my mom would be 108 I learned from mom she from her mom. This is the way they all did binding. I’ve watched dozens of channel to see why no one of the young or in their 60 never use it. Some one saw your way and just didn’t like it she said the corners were to difficult. I’m sure she just didn’t pay attention or how could anyone not agree this is just crazy easy and mitered corners so perfect
Lauren, how many business cards were you using...2 or 3? I have a 2020 Millie (I think that's the year). I think I was told 1 card when I first got my machine that I purchased on line directly from APQS.
@dorothyking714 we have 3 different kinds of border buddy's on the website you can see them here: boldnotionquilting.com/?s=Border+buddy+&post_type=product
Does sewing the few stitches in place at the beginning and end really lock the thread enough? I’ve always been concerned it would come loose with a bit of jostling when the quilt is completed.
Looks pretty straightforward. I think I’m going to attempt this before I load my next quilt. Also looks like I can use my channel lock once I’ve sewn the first 6” or so.
Thank you, that was very helpful advice. I see you're using it in your left hand. Is that the ruler for a right handed person? I ask because I'm right handed but I hold the ruler in my left hand when quilting. BTW, I wish I could have seen the whole quilt, it sure looks cute!
What a great tip...as usual! Lauren, I watched your video from a while back that has helped me so much. In it you discussed needle deflection and how to cope with it. I am trying to help another quilter and I would like to know which video it was. Thank you for all your videos!
I know alot of people do that.. and for the most part they realy shouldn't have to. It all has to do with needle deflection, I work on longarm machines (apqs, handiquilter, gammil) and if it's timed right the needle should be at the 6:00 position for good stitches for most quilting. other variables can cause the needle to need to be turned to give good stitches when the needle hits resistance and overflexes because it can minimize the flex in the wrong direction, if turning is something you have to do all the time you might find that your timing might be slightly off or maybe you need thicker needles for your projects. if you're consistently not getting good stitches at 6. either way the needle magnets let you see the rotation of the needle wherever you want it to be to get good stitching for your machine..
I’ve had mine for more than two years or more…lol. I am getting ready to make the casings. Really tired of sticking pins in fingers. Thanks for the video.
