Thank You! I dread using rulers on large quilts - I will certainly incorporate quilt-as-you-go into any projects I can. LOVE watching how you manage the volume of material - seeing someone do this is so helpful.
I sewed the sides down on my quilt. Can I still free motion quilt on it ? I want it have the typical quilt look to it and I want my fabric to be held down in the middle too. Did I mess up ?
Thank you so much for this video! I am getting ready to quilt my first large quilt on a domestic machine. I am only going to do straight quilting, but the info on how to manage it on my table really helps me!
Thank you so much for this. I know that I’m seeing this well after the original posting but I have found this so helpful as I try to figure out how to manage quilting a large quilt that I have pieced on my domestic machine. I appreciate your approach to the task since I have had struggles with managing the volume of fabric on smaller quilts.
Thanks, I just ordered the John Flynn Frame and stand for 316...with shipping. Watching yur vid makes me think I did not make a mistake. Only done quilting for a few months. I want to do it from start to finish and not pay a long arm hundreds and have to wait forever to get it back. Thanks again ya did great esp with only a phone to do the video.

I find square quilts more difficult than rectangular quilts. You begin in the center and work your way out and once the center is completed the edges are easier because there’s less bulk under the throat space.
Great beginner tutorial! I just figured out one of the best ways to help the quilt from constantly sliding down in front on my lap and getting 'stuck so much. I have two tiny end tables (that are actually meant as drawer units under my sewing desk) that I pull up close beside me on either side of my chair and let the quilt rest on that. I also use that non-slide stuff that's use under vases, lamps, in other words, anything you don't want to slide off of a flat surface on top of the two little tables so the quilt doesn't slide off. These two things keep the quilt up and 'fluffy'. I hope this helps someone out there.
Wow! I am new to quilting and have done one quilt by had and three using the machine. The last one took so long to do free style quilting, I think I will try these templates as they appear so effective. I thing that it looked so easy as this was the calmness of the lady and her demonstration was good.
Thank you soooo much! Finally someone show a large quilt! Letting go of the urge to "do it all at once". Watching you sloooowly do one square at a time!
I love my slant-shank machines. I have a Singer Golden Touch & Sew 750 and a Singer Imperial Model 7043. I had to have the Touch & Sew repaired once but I have never had any problem with my Imperial. I need more slant-shank sewists (and there are more of us than you realize) to help me convince Singer to make some of the newer presser feet for us. I think it's unfair that we were left out when they make the flower stitch foot. What are we supposed to do with our Singers? Throw them away? I think not. The Singer Company should know that their machines last forever. I still have my grandmother's old treadle that she bought in the 1920s. It still sews.
Just found this tutorial. Fabulous. I have many tops to get quilted and I wanted to learn to do them myself. I'm 68 and feel that this old dog has been taught a new trick. Thank you.
