There's space between foot and machine it stays in one place.

I have the exact same foot set with seam guides, for a Babylock. I do like the walking foot, but did not know how to change the soles. Now I do, thank you. Also love your presentation without all the silly fluff and time wasting small talk. I did straight line quilting for a wall hanging with a lot of half square triangles for my daughter. The walking foot is great for that. Love how it turned out.

I've been using painters tape to mark my first line. I have a hera marker in my cart on Amazon.😅 I have also been using a long piece of trim as a guide for the middle from corner to corner diagonally, but after we use up the trim, I will use a measuring tape. I've been using a serpentine stitch because it is forgiving. I think I'm ready to try straight line quilting after watching this tutorial! Thank you! You have done a really good job!!

I just did three quilts with straight line quilting. I didn't do too bad, but didn't think of that little line bar thing till after the third quilt. I've never done it that way before, but I sure do want to try. Being a visual person, I think your instructions are more clear than my manual! So I am going to try it! Thanks so much for showing this and how easy it is to do! I still need to quilt my Nona quilt too!

Congratulations on quilting 3 quilts! The guide bar is so helpful! I hope you enjoy using it in the future.

Jessica you are teaching me so much. I have a Bernina 770 Q. I’ve learned everything about quilting from watching different RU-vid channels. You are not only teaching me how to quilt, but giving me tips on my machine. I can see I’m going to have to get that clear foot, and learn how to adjust my pressure to 0. Sometimes I use my piecing plate, and sometimes I don’t. I’ll start using it from now on. Thank you. I love all the tips. 😊

Love your clear teaching. Haven’t come across others who make it so understandable. Is the marker called a “hair marker “?

@jessica_dayon 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I am happy that you find my teaching understandable. It is called a hera marker.

@karenkauffman8193 8 месяцев назад

A question… when you do the lines… Do you always go back up and start each line at the top? Not turning and start from bottom?

@jessica_dayon 8 месяцев назад

Depends of the size and how well my quilt is basted. I usually do it all one way though.

@traceyannneumann5841 8 месяцев назад

Do you have a recommendation as to where on the quilt to mark your first line? In the center? Thank you!

@jessica_dayon 8 месяцев назад

I don't think it really matters. Anywhere in the center-ish is good.

@teresagraber6947 Год назад

When you start straight line quilting should you start at the middle of the quilt and work out to the sides?

@jessica_dayon Год назад

I do. I would encourage you to experiment though and see what works best for you.

@mygeorge1951 5 месяцев назад

Awesome video tutorial!!! Do you start in the center of the quilt or on the corners for the Horizontal Cross Hatch look? Gracias!!!

@jessica_dayon 5 месяцев назад

I think you could do either for cross hatch. If you wanted, you could mark a diagonal line somewhere in the middle-ish and then work out from there on each side.

@user-jr4eo4bc7z 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for a great video! I was just wondering when quilting do you start in the center and sew to the edge and then go back to the center and go to the other edge?

@jessica_dayon 11 месяцев назад

Sometimes. It depends on the size of the quilt and the spacing of the lines for me. Starting in the center can help prevent shifting. If it works for you, you can definitely do it that way too.

@user-jr4eo4bc7z 11 месяцев назад

@@jessica_dayon thanks I am new to this and my quilt top is 78x92. I’m just not sure how to tackle it 😊

@jessica_dayon 11 месяцев назад

@@user-jr4eo4bc7z that’s a big one! Yes, I’d probably start in the center for that one and work outward. If you are doing straight lines, maybe also consider spacing them further apart the first time and then go back and add lines in between. For example, if you want 1” lines, start and make 2” lines on the whole quilt and then go back and sew a line between each one to make it 1” spacing. Good luck!

@annagie2932 9 месяцев назад

Hi Jessica, Thank you for your great video. It was really helpful as I am a total beginner. I attempted to quilt a bigger piece yesterday - 42 by 22 ". The batting was polyester (I wanted to make an advent calendar) and unfortunately the back of it is bulky and puckered. Is it down to practice or perhaps I need more tips on how to quilt a thicker 'sandwich'? Many thanks in advance🥰

@jessica_dayon 9 месяцев назад

If the back is puckered, it could mean a few things- the backing wasn't fully spread out when it was basted, it needs to be basted at closer intervals (use more pins, with each one closer together), or things shifted as you were quilting which could be just needed more practice. I'd make sure you have everything (each layer) really well spread out and flat when you are basting, add more pins than you did last time, and then try again. The more you do it, the better it will be. Good luck!

@annagie2932 9 месяцев назад

@@jessica_dayonthank you so much for your reply. I can see where my sewing went wrong. All being well this time things should improve hopefully. Many thanks again!

@carolanngager1458 6 месяцев назад

New to quilting, do you have a long arm quilting machine or do you quilt everything you make on your Bernina? The hardest part for me is keeping my quilt straight and pushed through evenly as I quilt. I do not have a machine with a longer arm. I enjoyed your video. Thank you!

@jessica_dayon 6 месяцев назад

For years I quilted on my domestic machine. Last year did get a long arm so I use that now. For straight lines, I'd recommend a seam guide. It is like a little arm that you can hook onto your foot that you can put at specific intervals to helps you keep your lines straight.

@lorrainewilliams7896 5 месяцев назад

This might help. She shows how to sew a big quilt on a regular sewing machine without anything fancy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HI_V9Pdk-70.html

@ckl5590 3 месяца назад

If you were doing this on a bigger quilt too, would you start in the center and work out or on the side and work left to right? Thanks

@veronicaann7920 9 месяцев назад

I always have a problem with my backing gathering when I am sewing with a walking foot. Any ideas as to why that happens?

@jessica_dayon 9 месяцев назад

There could be many reasons. Perhaps the backing wasn't spread and secured properly when basting, too few pins were used to baste it, or things began to shift once you started quilting.

@1043dawn 11 месяцев назад

good tutorial but I would have liked the use of coloured thread just to make the stitiching easier to see. Just a thought. Thanks

@camillakola9351 Год назад

Many thanks very informative I have a Bernina and a walking foot. What stitch length do you recommend and the threads please.

@jessica_dayon Год назад

The stitch length just depends on what you like. In this video, I was doing the 2.25 but you can go up or down from there based on how you like the stitches to look. For the thread, again, I believe it’s all personal preference. I am using Aurifil here but I’ve used a bunch of brands (like Mettler, Sulky, etc).

@bethguernsey8241 Год назад

What stitch length do you use to straight line quilt?

@jessica_dayon Год назад

There isn't a set length. It is whatever you like the look of. Sometimes longer stitches look nice in quilting. I think here I was using the default on my machine which is 2.25. I's probably go up higher if it was a real quilt. I'd experiment and see what you like the look of best.

@suejames3793 Год назад

Thanks for this great tutorial. What stitch length do you use for straight line quilting?

@jessica_dayon Год назад

You can really play around with the stitch length until you find one you like. I think here I was doing a 3 maybe.

@barbarawilliams8523 Год назад

I have a banana I purchased in around 1985. I’m wondering if I can get that new walking foot for it. Will it fit my old machine?

@jessica_dayon Год назад

I'd check with your dealer. I know BERNINA works hard to make the feet fit as many machines as possible but I'm not sure about machines made them. Your dealer will be able to tell you for sure.
