On your domestic sewing machine with your free motion foot and feed dogs dropped, how to start and stop sewing to lock in your stitches. Also, how to bury your threads so they are secure and don't show.
OMG. I've been wrestling with bringing up the bobbin threads when starting & stopping, & burying them when finished. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've watched so many other videos, & your video was the most helpful by far!
I have been free motion quilting for a long time and have just now learned from you how this is supposed to be done. I always knew how to start, but pulling the thread up at the end always had me confused. Thank you!
Wow, thanks for sharing your excellent version. I just started free motion quilting and I’ve completed two samplers blocks, but was definitely having issues. Again thanks 👍❤️😊
Thank you very much for this video. I think this method of starts and stops would be permissible in competitive quilts. I know the judges look at the starts and stops methods used.
My smaller machine had a thread lock but I’m starting a wall hanging on a new machine without a thread lock. Is returning to knot/bury threads a requirement for securing the stitching instead of just locking the stitch in place without the hand knot/bury method?
Your thread lock works fine as well. It will leave two short "rabbit ears" on the back, but since it is a wall hanging it should be fine. No on will see it! I use this type of thread burying to completely conceal where the stitching begins and ends on both sides of the quilt.
