Hello, I've been asked many times how to actually start off a piece of hand quilting. In this week's video, I thought I'd show you how to have a go at hand quilting, it really is easy, if you can do a running stitch you can definitely do this. Hand quilting is such a nice way to add some texture and a little extra to textile projects, and when you're feeling a little more confident maybe you'll have a go at that whole cloth quilt you've always dreamed of? As always thanks for watching and enjoy!

If you would like to know a little more about the history of quilting watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DezQ1uKplF4.html Please remember it was made when I was just starting out on RU-vid, the research still stands though. 💚

finally someone who quilts the way I do. every time I see people quilt they use their middle finger and I have never been able to do it that way.

Thanks for the tips. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who misses a stitch or two on the back. I hand quilt all my quilt projects. Tanks for the details.

@dianafischer1468 8 месяцев назад

That was supposed to be thanks for the details.

Thank you so much for your tutorial! It was very helpful to me.

@violet2048 Год назад

Thank you, I've always gone for the tiniest stitches, but at 75 my hands get quite achy, so I am loosening up. You're right it's supposed to be fun, and relaxing. I've been quilting since I was 8, my grandmother had me making my own doll quilts. If it wasn't right I had to remove the stitches, and begin again. I didn't mind then, because it was my grandmother teaching me.

I've always wanted to know how to get one knot on top of another so thank you. Years ago I was shown that I had to do a rocking motion but like your attitude, we're meant to have fun, no stress. As always love your video🤗

Thank you for the video. I love the way you teach so clear but reminding us always it is meant to be relaxing not a feat of perfection. I feel after this I could attempt a small piece so thank you.

Made me feel better about my hand quilting. I miss on the back sometimes.

@amypapenhausen8970 2 года назад

Another great video. I'm so glad you're not all about perfection!! You're a fantastic teacher. I attended an online free embroidery summit this past week and was so inspired! You had covered many of the stitches in your embroidery videos. Hand sewing is so relaxing to me. Thanks again for all your videos!

@eleanorbirchellhughes 2 года назад

Thank you Amy I'm so glad the video have come in handy, also I'm delighted to hear how inspired you were from on-line thingmy. 😊

What a relief to find your video ! I'm just about to hand quilt my first quilt & have been researching the subject. I watched another experienced quilter who demonstrates the technique where the needle is balanced between two thimbles (one on the middle finger on the quilt top & the other on the middle or index finger underneath), whilst the thumb of the top hand pulls the fabric away when the needle comes back up. The quilter admits that it's a difficult technique requiring much practice but that it is much easier on the wrist & arm joints if you want to do a lot of hand quilting. Instinctively, I'd started quilting as you do but would like to know if you have experinced any wrist or arm pain in your many years of hand quilting. Kind regards from the French Pyrenees.

How cool I have never seen the knot tied like this.

@colleenrose5355 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for being so patient and explaining everything so well. I'm new to this and haven't started quilting yet. I have some of my material but still learning all of what is needed to start. Thanks again for all the information in a calm relaxed way.

@philipashworth2714 2 года назад

No problem, I will add it to my list

@eleanorbirchellhughes 2 года назад

Really? 🤣😂🤣😂😂 Can you actually thread a needle? 💖

@elizabethgilmon1419 2 года назад

Just in time , getting ready to quilt a memory quilt for my mother in law, and decided to hand quilt , because I didn’t want any quilting on the photos. Thank you!

@eleanorbirchellhughes 2 года назад

Good luck with your quilt Elizabeth.

@beckitibaldi9654 Год назад

Love this. Your voice is relaxing. I am a hand quilter and have completed several quilts. Often, I utilize applique with hand quilting. It helps to erase the stress of the day. Thank you.

@kaywhaley6694 2 года назад

Great tips, I always thought it was way more difficult. Will certainly give it a try.

@eleanorbirchellhughes 2 года назад

And my work here is done 😌 seriously though it is pretty straight forward, I think you'll really enjoy it when you have a go.

@karentoynton8948 2 года назад

Thanks for your tips.

@livingintheforest3963 10 месяцев назад

What a great idea this is to practice I’m going to start doing this and I wasn’t sure if I want to use a hoop or not but now I’m thinking about just getting one they have it anyway they make sort of square shaped ones but everybody seems to have round ones on here, and they still plenty of round ones.

@gaylesbuglife2548 Год назад

For quilting like this do you go through all three layers? Also do you have to have an embroidery hoop or can you do the hand stitching without one?

@loririvera5747 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for showing these tips. When do you add the batting do you have to machine stitch?

@brunausurpadora5362 Год назад

Aww that's kind, thank you ☺️

@stineandscott 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this video. I have been quilting for years bit have never hand quilted a quilt. In tue beginning of your video, as you pulled out your templates you had what appeared to be a dragon wing. (I will admit that is why I clicked on your video 😆). Anyways do you have a video or pictures of a quilt you've done with that? I am intrigued.

@eleanorbirchellhughes 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your comment. The dragon wing is part of a template for an applique I did based on the Welsh flag, I made a video on it a few years ago, I'll see if I can find and copy the link for you.

@mrsmiggins6435 2 года назад

I am attempting to make a bed quilt for my daughter using EPP shapes(well two shapes lol) and copying the Lucy Boston idea. As I love hand sewing. Could you tell me please should I be washing the fabric first as I'm using mainly red and white with some blue? Can I nag for more videos time permitting of course😁😜. Take care🤗

@eleanorbirchellhughes 2 года назад

Hi Angela, ahh the thorny question of washing fabric, I mostly wash mine if they are going in a quilt that will be washed. Also reds in particular need special attention they often have a little extra dye that needs to come out before you put them next to white or pale fabrics. My hints for washing would be put in the machine on a standard 40 degree wash (Warm if in the US) and add 1/3 cup of white vinegar to the rinse/ fabric softner stage, the vinegar acts as a fixative if there is any remaining dye after washing. Line dry if possible, or stop the dryer before your fabric turns to super heated cardboard (still very slightly damp). If your fabric is floppy after washing because all the stiffener has been rinsed away lightly starch with spray starch on the back of the fabric and iron on the front. Hope that helps and good luck with your quilt.

How do you go over seams in patchwork?

@shannonbrown7488 2 года назад

What about coverlets? I'm from the U.S. and have seen/ heard of so called coverlets from places like the UK, and Australia that don't have batting (wadding). What's the scoop on these kinds of quilts? Do you still quilt them? How are they done, and finished compared to actual quilts?

@eleanorbirchellhughes 2 года назад

Hi Shannon, coverlets are really interesting, that's why I said "a quilt is usually three layers", if you think about quilting as a sort of family tree it's ancestors are quilting for utilitarian purposes of added either warmth or padding and embroidery just for decoration. Add in Kantha work from India and Sashiko from Japan, both of those are considered types of quilting but are usually only two pieces fabric! Coverlets are often embroidered from the front but hold front and back together and I have seen coverlets held together with running stitch in designs that have echoes of 17th and 18th century embroidery and quilting designs. Hmmm maybe I should make a video 😉. I'll put a link to one that covers some but not all of the history in the pinned comment.

@shannonbrown7488 2 года назад

@@eleanorbirchellhughes I would love to know more about these so called quilts. Where I live it's very warm (yet oddly people here still always add batting) it seems like coverlets would be a nice way to add a decorative covering to my bed that wouldn't be as warm.
