Free Motion Quilting Made Easy 

BRILLIANT tutorial!! I'm 65, finally just invested in my dream machine (Bernina Q16) and have been absolutely terrified to start using it -- on my 55+ UFOs! I appreciate you :)

WOW! this would have to be the best tutorial I have seen on free motion quilting for beginners. You explain everything so well and at a steady pace. Thank you so much. 😊

I have watched many free motion tutorials but I found this one the very best. You certainly have impressed me with your knowledge, expertise, teaching style and showing this free motion can definitely be fun. I can hardly wait to get back at it again! Thanks for sharing.

Of all the free motion quilting videos I have watched, none compare to this one. You get into the physical mechanics on how to adjust the machine and the quilter. The tools you used I have never seen. I have been so frustrated trying to learn how to control the pedal and my hands. You make it look so easy. I feel I just might be able to master free motion. Thank you for making this video.

Love how you give direction, so easy to comprehend.

I can't thank you enough Pauline for this tutorial Using doorstops to raise the machine is ingenious as is the tip about positioning the foot pedal. I'm a leftie, so hopefully that will help! I love FMQ but am often disappointed with the results. I attended a workshop a few years ago and we were taught speed is of the essence - this is probably why I struggle I was also encouraged to use the stop/start button on the machine. It's foot pedal from now on. No more painful neck and shoulders!!

I've found your suggestion of using the left foot very helpful. After 5 years of flirting with this type of quilting, I am now feeling hopeful about eventually begin able to free motion quilt. Thank you Pauline.

I love all your videos and just ordered your purple hoop. I am 74, been sewing for over 60 years. Now am a beginner quilter. I have had my bernina since1989! I want to learn free motion quilting and your video is by far the best! I so enjoy your quilting projects and I will be using all your great suggestions for my new project! Thank you so very much!

Oh my gosh...I never thought about tilting my machine! Thank you so much for that hint!

You are a marvelous teacher. MORE PLEASE. This was great. Love all the tips.

This is the best beginner FMQ video!! Thank you so very much!

She is the best teacher I could watch her all day, and I will when I can get to my machine. We will go one step at a time.

Ooooooo i’ve just bought my new brand-new bernina Sew Machine I’m an experience sewer but it was fabulous to see what you were teaching I’ve done free motion quilting courses before but nothing like you’ve just taught thank you so much and those wedges at the back of the machine? Fabulous idea fabulous! In the purple hope excellent excellent I’m going to get my knee lift in the next couple of days from Bernina here in Christchurch and I’m gonna get one of those slip mats and a purple hope because I prefer quilt as you go as well thank you so much the fact that you slip laden at the end excellent thank you regards Sylvia from somewhere in New Zealand because we live in a bus and we travelling around… And my machines coming everywhere with me I’ve just closed my sewing business of 12 years because we sold our property and now we’re in a bus my spinning wheel has come with me as well as my sewing machine and my over locker I’m very excited to get out of the rat race and enjoy the peace of my retirement

You're a wonderful teacher. 😍

Thank you for sharing❤ Very Great information

Awesome video!!!! Thank you❤

Best tutorial on free motion! 😉

Great tutorial. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

Oh I just loved how you explained everything in such a simple manner. Thank you hope to watch many more 👍🏻

Wonderful tips I've never seen before. I need a hoop!! So many times my needle has skipped. Moving the foot pedal and raising the back of machine will definitely help! I have my machine set with needle to go down at the end automatically, that helped me a lot.

Easily the best how to video I have seen. Thank you very much!

Thank you. Very good explanation.This is very easy method and no need of long arm mechine for medium size projects. Thank you . 👍👍👍

Extremely helpful video! Your focus on ergonomics was terrific

Excellent Tutorial for a beginner. Thank you

Thank you for this tutorial. I am a new quilter and appreciate your help!

Thank you, I get such a sore back when I sew. I am going to try tilting my machine. Haven’t tried the free hand quilting yet but will get there eventually. I really like the purple hoop. You are a great sewing designer and your tools are great.

This is a fabulous free motion tutorial! I have tried to do fmq in the past... and it was not a pretty sight. The tips and tricks that you've shared here will make all the difference, I am sure. Thank you for this. Blessings to y'all.

Fabulous tutorial

I am so pleased to find this video with tips I have never heard before! I am a beginner and now I'm feeling like I can tackle this.

Thank you for your beginner free motion quilting tips. I will start practicing with the lines and my name.

Thank you for the suggestion of setting stitch length at zero instead of dropping the feed dogs. I have a 1939 Singer treadle, and no way to drop the feed dogs. Setting stitch length to zero was perfect! Thank you again! I don't know if my machine ever came with a feed dog cover, but if it did, it's long gone now.

Thanks Pauline, I think I met you a few years ago at the quilting show in Brisbane. Thank you for the tutorial.

Thanks so much. I learned many steps In this short video than in any other. You explain things simple and thoroughly. I had tried free motion quilting and got frustrated that I stopped trying. I saw a commercial for the hoops but no instructions on how to use them. I searched RU-vid and I found your channel. Amazing!! New subscriber here. Thanks 😊

I just found you. I am enjoying your videos very much. Your a good teacher.

Great video!

Lovely tutorial.

Thank you for all the wonderful info,makes free motion quilting so much easier! Just order the needle and accessories to get started and your tutorial has been a wealth of great tips!

New subscriber! So happy I found you. Your style is perfect for me.

Very informative and professional. The best instructor! Thank you so much.

Awesome tip about the door wedges. That will make a huge difference in my posture!

Thank you for a great video. Your explanations of why you do things is most helpful and makes so much sense.

Agreed. Great tutorial😃

Thank you soooo much…first time meeting you and I’ve learned so much watching this video about free motion quilting… I will absolutely SUBSCRIBE!

I got the rubber door stoppers you recommended and I'm thrilled to report I didn't get a stiff sore neck and shoulders after tilting the machine towards me. Thank you! Thank you!
