790 Pro BQM quilting in the hoop 

It is such a great hobby! I love sharing and am so glad you find it useful. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you for your kind words.

Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome!

Thank you so much!

Sure thing!

I'm so glad! I will be posting more about in the hoop quilting.

Glad it was helpful!

I use whatever bobbin I want showing on the backing. I do usually match the color but not always the weight. I use invisifil or maybe a 50 weight cotton. I adjust the tension if needed to compensate for different thread weights.

Which thread do you use in th ebobbin when quilting with the 100 weight thread?

Thank you!

Glad it was helpful! This is the only video I have right now. I will do another soon. The premise is exactly the same when you use different designs in different blocks. In this video you will notice that I go out and choose the design each time. I could have been choosing a different design each time I just wanted to all over look on this quilt.

Robin, Yes and no. The B880 Plus, which I own and love, can use the medium clamp hoop. It can also do beautiful quilting in the hoop with embroidery desoins. The difference is it will only use two point pinpoint placement rather than 4 point placement which will morph a design. Also the designs will be .exp (or other) embroidery files and not infinitely resizable BQM files. Soooooo...... the designs you use need to be the size and shape you want to use before you open it in the 880. BERNINA V-9 software would be helpful.

Thank you Shelley!

The blocks are 7 inches. The quilt pattern is Simplicity by Cozy Quilt Designs who is one of my favorite pattern designers.

@@SewShelly thanks! I have done four small quilts, 8”, 6”, 9”, and 8.5” blocks. I wasn’t using my machine table and I was taking my hoop off to hoop the next block. I am going to try it your way. I used to have a Gammill on which I did hand guiding. I like this so much more. I also like the tip to use monofilament for the stitch in the ditch! I can’t make my tops fast enough to get back to the quilting!

I am using the BERNINA Medium Clamp Hoop.

The new 990 will be amazing for this! You can scan the applique project in the hoop. Send it to your V9 software to digitize the quiliting around the design and then send it back to the 990 for stitching. Really cool stuff.

The new 990 is amazing. I just got mine set up yesterday. Be sure to head to your dealer and get a demonstration. I still have my 880 also.

You can do a queen. You only have from the center out under the arm of the machine at one time. When you stitch the very center you will have the watch the part that is bunched up but there is not that much of it and then you are spreading out.

It is a great hoop. This video is showing quilting in the hoop. For most regular embroidery you will take the hoop off of the machine, hoop your project and then attach the hoop to the machine again.

There are 12 in the box with the hoop. I don't have extra.

Thank you!
