Freehand Quilting DOUBE LOOPS, a replay of my April 12 Facebook event.
I complete a project from start to finish featuring double and single loops. It is done entirely freehand, and in real time with no edits.
This quilt had mitered borders and the corners needed a little squaring up, and there were very thick seams to deal with. So I talk and demonstrate my way through those as well as batting, thread, and design choices.
Check my IG, Facebook and Pinterest feeds for more completed photos of this project.

Thank you for having these videos to get ideas, think about different free motion designs, and just study your moves as you quilt. This is very helpful to me. Bless you!

So many great little tidbits in this video! I have loved it. Hope I can remember them all, but woohoo, I can always come back to it 😊 I am in the new (Soon to be old) knot! LOL

Thank you Susan. I learn so much from you.

I don’t own a long arm but I love your videos … so much advice in general, and watching you has made me braver on my sewing machine for quilting

I'm so glad!

Watching this before I tackle the first charity quilt i volunteered to quilt. Bulk in borders and blocks, and she serged it together!

@robinphyfe5047 Год назад

1. I LOVE that fabric and made a baby quilt out of it! 2. Listened to your recent podcast episode … your voice is so soothing 😃. 3. I used the magnetic bars on the last quilt I quilted and it worked! Also used the pin truck along the side to keep the edges square! 4. Thank you sooo much for your lives, though I can rarely catch one, I’m currently going back and watching some of your older videos! Again…. Many thanks!!!

Good morning from Virginia. Watching on the replay.

I love how real your videos are! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. I'm considering my first purchase of a longarm and am petrified at the expense. Can you share you "beginning" story. If you already have such a video, can you please share the link? Thanks so much!

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I don’t know that I have a particular beginning video but I’ve told snippets. You might try the “Are We The Right Fit?”. There’s some story in there. I do have 2 thoughts: 1) test drive multiple brands, they’re always at quilt shows and happy to let you do that, and 2) consider buying used. It gives you the opportunity to find out your style and what you love doing best while keeping the price way down.

Fantastic lesson. I do have a ton of questions, but that's for another day. I am in the current Masterclasss, though a little behind in the lessons, but have already learned so much. Thank you. Lauren from Seneca IL.

@lisaholmes389 Год назад

when I've had a quilt that wasn't perfect square, I've sprayed the area and let it dry. That lets the threads in the quilt tighten up.

@taniquecundiff 3 года назад

Love that quilt. It seems she used the Shabby Fabrics Home & Away quilt pattern using Animal Crackers by Sweetwater Co for Moda (Shabby Fabrics currently has this as a kit). So adorable; I downloaded the pattern! It is so valuable to see how you handle fullness challenges. Thank you!

@lindameyer3005 Год назад

If the extra fabric is left for the top & sides I find it works to make the bindings if you’re want the fabric & binding the same. Or you could make your own jelly roll strips for future use.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

yes, indeed!

@ourblessedhouse 2 года назад

Absolutely how much excess you can work in with your fingering techniques. Very helpful tips for us new long armers. Thanks!

@susancook3417 Год назад

How long have you been doing free hand? What is the best way to learn how to freehand?

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I've been doing it since 2014. Best way to learn - just start! I began with a class at a local shop and it was quilting on a domestic machine, So we learned to practice things like loops and lines, and some basics like tension and types of batting. When I got my first longarm I just dove in - I got some charity quilts and started doodling...and just kept on quilting. Don't be discouraged at the outset, you're learning a new skill, and don't be afraid to try things you don't think you can do. You'll learn as you go. Enjoy the process!

@mphipps9062 Год назад

Do you worry about the quilt top being to tight that it might break the needle or the timing on the machine when you use the veggie cans

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

It definitely won’t hurt the timing, and I’ve never broken a needle. Chances are, you naturally go a little slower if you’re working with fiddly area, so lower speed reduces needle flex and risk of breakage.

@debbieoglesby1431 3 года назад

Hi, Debbie from Oak Lawn, IL. Q: When the thread matches the fabric, how do you not quilt over what you have already quilted?

@StitchedBySusan 3 года назад

Lighting is the trick. Usually good lighting, but on difficult to see fabrics, it can work to have very low light and then add a side light to cast shadows on the quilted areas. I use a gooseneck floor lamp, others install some type of small light on the side of their machine.

And how is the cup on the top of your machine attached? Julie Urosevich

@StitchedBySusan 3 года назад

My machine happens to have a peg right there, so I just cut an X in the bottom of the cup and pushed it on. Super convenient!
