You’re a natural at doing these videos. Very interesting and well paced.

@caitlinmatthews1401 6 месяцев назад

Definitely going to try this loading style on my next quilt. Love your videos and am addicted to watching them!

@user-ns8cv4ln4s 6 месяцев назад

Hello I just want to say you inspire me. This is AJ Timm I met you at Puyallup sewing expo I was the lady with hubby in a power chair he is a quadriplegic. Well as I continue to watch you

@lindaizzard1437 Год назад

That’s exactly how I do it. I must admit I’ve never centered mine, I put it where it’s most convenient. I spray with water as I roll to remove any wrinkles. I tear the ends to get straight of grain if I’m loading to get ends straight.

Misting the backings as I roll them on has been a MAJOR time saver for me!

@vanillayogurt5650 Год назад

I use loading Loris way. Bought my longarm from her. She was so helpful.

@lauris5708 Год назад

You may not ever see this, but that is a very cute top you are wearing today. Thanks for another informative and fun video!

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Thanks!

@snickerbuckle Год назад

This is exactly how I load my backings! Doing a small one as I watch your video! When I hep beginners at a local shop they are always shocked that I don’t mark the centers of my backing or top.

@dreamdanzzer 11 месяцев назад

Another excellent video. Saving for when I load my first quilt

@lindamannell1607 Год назад

Hi from Kansas. I always seem to miss LIVE. did you talk about getting slippery thread to wind on the bobbin? Thank you for taking time out of your day to educate us. ❤

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I didn't....but I've made myself another note!

@ambientbeauty604 3 месяца назад

Are you attaching on the front?

@kthybrown007 4 месяца назад

Sometimes I have a backing that is directional and a quilt that would most easily be quilted side to side -- I usually start with a torn edge on the top or bottom -- do you have any thoughts about that. I do strictly custom quilting.

@StitchedBySusan 4 месяца назад

Torn edge is fine, it just takes a little care to make sure it doesn’t stretch while attaching.

@ClaudiaMCalder Год назад

when you roll up the backing on the front bar, are your ratchets engaged, or are you free-wheeling

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Ratchets are engaged.

@cherylcurlee3279 Год назад

Missed your live, but I'm wondering about your longarm, I thought you used a Gammill? When and why did you change?

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Just a few months ago. I have a 4 min episode called "Why I Changed Longarm Brands" which details a few of the reasons. Nothing earth-shattering, but it was right for me.

Hi susan im lucy from oakley calif. im new to quilting .I just bought a long arm quilting machine anyway before i bought my machine i already basted my backing and batting and top together ,can I somehow load my quilt onto my poles. I didnt leave any fabric on the ends to attach to my leaders. yikes can you help

@StitchedBySusan 9 месяцев назад

I answered your other comment. I suggest taking the basting out, and it may be difficult to load on the longarm and keep from having any wrinkles, but each quilt is a little different.
