In this video, I will show you the FASTEST and EASIEST way to load the layers onto your longarm frame so you can spend less time doing that, and more time quilting! I use Leader Grips and they can be purchased from Regina's Quilting. Link Below:

If you're looking for those clamps, you will find them on my website in the link below:

You cannot imagine how helpful this was...wish I had seen it a month ago before I put my four QOV's on the longarm. I am self taught without any friends that quilt. I have watched many videos but this was the most detailed and helpful. Thankyou. I will be watching more of your videos.

@catherineross14443 Год назад

Well executed video with valuable information. Thank you. Liked your C clamp idea, it's a much easier visual for me than using a measuring tape. Figuring out if the top is straight using a seam line was an Aha moment. Made so much sense. Sewing your basting line so close to the edge is brilliant but makes me a little nervous......like walking on a cliff edge. Afraid I'll fall off. So glad you showed how to get back on.

@andreaheles5016 3 года назад

Excellent video! I've been using red snapper clamps for some time but didn't realize that I could only catch the edge of selvage and have that be secure enough. I'd been loading the backing with at least an inch of the selvage going over the snapper rod because I was afraid it would slip out. Thank you Tracy.

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 3 года назад

As long as you have just enough to clamp, you'll be good! :)

@treasuresnownthen 3 года назад

It would be so helpful if you used a different color backing from the color of the leaders...it all looks the same . I agree this is the BEST loading video I have seen and I have watched soooooooo many! :)

My friend likes Glide, it is strong (she has a Gammil long arm) I just received these clamps and rods, they are hard to get on but someone said they get easier....sure hope so. hahaha

Where can I get the clamp on and do they just clamp onto the material you have hanging on your machine? I knew it this but I like the way that looks and it looks much better than clamping them on to the bars. Thank you for sharing.

@janicelannon2599 3 года назад

Great videos! I am new to longarm quilting and find you instructions so helpful. Do you have any suggestions on how to make sure quilt is staying straight if you do not have a third roller to place clamps as you suggest? I only have two rollers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 3 года назад

You can use a centering tape. It's got 0 in the middle and measures out on either side and has moveable markers you can slide and position where you need them.

@lindaseitz3502 2 года назад

You briefly touched on the tightness of the backing when you loaded it. Do you have a video where you talk about how tight to load the backing, betting and top before basting and quilting? I think I’m stretching mine too tight as I end up with lots of puckering towards the outside edges whether quilting tightly or loosely as far as density. ❤️❤️❤️ your videos! Wish I’d found them earlier. Thank you so much!

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 2 года назад

I don't have a specific video for that but that's a great idea! I will get one done. We never want 'drum tight' on the backing (or the top for that matter). You want to have some give. Think of a mole under the snow. We just want to see that machine moving slightly. I'll try to remember to talk about that next Monday night and show what I mean.

@Jabezgirl57 2 года назад

APQS suggests being able to stick your finger up from the bottom thru all 3 layers and be able to grasp your finger. Much looser than I would have thought.

@sandyhumissouri5131 2 года назад

Thanks, good demo, very clear. Did you change to the float method to save time?

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 Год назад

I started floating to make it easier to tweak quilts that were really not square or flat. Having them float gives us more leeway.

@kathleencraig8374 Год назад

I enjoy you videos, explained so well. Do you use a base extender? When you do basting is quilt taunt?

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 Год назад

Thank you Kathleen, I always use a base extender when using rulers. It's not harmful to leave it on all the time but I've only got mine on when I'm doing ruler work. Quilt is always 'firm but with give'. You don't ever want the top or backing too tight when quilting. Soft is your friend

@sandan2358 3 года назад

New long armer an my sides always sag. I can’t wait to try loading your way. I have a question on basting. Before you start quilting do you only baste what’s in your throat space or do you baste the whole quilt. Thank you!!!

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 3 года назад

Correct. You baste only in the quitable space you're in before you quilt. When you advance the quilt, you baste that quitable space, then quilt that row. So on so forth. Have fun! :D

@bjtinker4499 3 года назад

Side clamps??? When do you use? Or do you never use them. Noticed that on Karen Brown 1st video of her new Millie. I am an APQS rep in Phoenix area. Loved this video. I use zippers bc arthritis in hands prevents Red Snapper method you use. Too Painful to press and remove. Thank you for your great teaching. Karen referred me to you today.

@myradavis2284 3 года назад

Do you need to raise you top bar and the leveler bar to allow the clamp/rod to fit under when advancing the quilt? Also I actually set the top of the backing with the clamp system between the leveler bar and the pickup roller. Otherwise the thread cutter and/or the ruler base gets caught on the clamping system - when i move the machine head towards the pickup roller.

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 2 года назад

No, everything rolls right under the leveller bar. You may need to tweak the angle you are attaching the clamps onto the dowel.

@sallylovig666 3 года назад

I looked through your website for the dowel clamping system but don't see it. Can you advise where I can look into purchasing or the name of the system for me to find a source? Also, do you not use the side clamps? I've watched all your videos and don't see these put on at all. Thanks for the help.

Does your backing fabric go over or under the backing bar when completely loaded on frame

@knotnowdesigns 3 года назад

Hi! I am VERY interested in this method - so over using the pins! Did I miss where to purchase the dowel clamping system? Obviously it's similar to the Red Snapper, but maybe a more attractive price. :) After a Google search I'm wondering if the dowels and clamps are not quilt specific and might be at the home improvement stores. I appreciate any direction you can give. Thanks! EDIT: Leader grips on your website? And then I buy my dowels locally? I just wasn't using the right search words!

@littledrabbitry9410 3 года назад

I have the same leader clamps as you but I struggle all the time and the clamps are getting bent inside. Also my backing rail is the one closest to the dead bar, the one closest to my belly is my quilt top bar. I struggle with the clamps on that bar because there really isn't anything to lay it on so I struggle a lot getting the fabric to stay on the leader when attempting to clamp. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to all of this so maybe that is part of the problem. My sides always sag and the center is tight.

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 3 года назад

Use the heel of your hand to push on the clamp while squeezing the roller. Make sure you're on a good angle first though. :)

@littledrabbitry9410 3 года назад

@@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 Thank you! I will give it another try. I've been using the heel of my hand and squeezing the roller, the problem is the fabric always moves around and so does the leader fabric with the rods in them. Love your videos and all your tips.

@joanndutton1896 2 года назад

I’m a little confused. This is a great lesson, except for one thing. At the beginning you show only one bar in front. ( the belly bar ). But soon after that, the camera shows two bars in the front. Now the backing fabric is below the belly bar.PLEASE EXPLAIN.

@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 2 года назад

Great question JoAnn! The quilt top roller is covered by the canvas from the belly bar in the beginning of the video. The belly bar canvas goes under and over the quilt top roller and sits on top of that while I clamp the backing to the belly bar leader. Once I roll it onto the belly bar, it rolls off the quilt top roller so the backing runs under the quilt top roller, then under the leveller bar and onto the pick up roller.
