Today I am showing you my start to finish process of getting my #GammillStatlerStitcher ready to quilt of a morning and loading my quilt on to the machine. I load my backing to the machine in what many might consider a unique method because I do not pin baste, I baste the backing to the leaders using the Longarm Machine itself.
*This video is not intended to be a beginner instructional video. I assume you have some knowledge of a Longarm machine before watching it. But this video can still be useful to beginners or quilters of all skill levels to give you a visual to reference*

I’ve tried pinning; basting on my sewing machine then reattaching the leaders to the bars (Velcro); even stapling - but this method is the simplest and quickest. Thanks for the info.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video!!! I have had a Gammill Statler Stitcher for about 7 years, but have not been able to use it until now…and without your video I would have been totally lost.

Not on an Innova machine. Only one drop of oil in the bobbin area is all the oil required. There is no other place to oil unless you have the older tension disk and then you need to put a drop of a different type of oil in that spot occasionally. Very clean machine. I still wipe my table and wheels for dust

I am not familiar with the Innova machine but that is good to know, and handy for all the Innova uses that may watch this video. Thanks for watching!

I've been loading quilts on my Gammill this way for years. Occasionally I watch how others do it to pick up tips and tricks. I have 2 questions. 1: As I watched I noticed that when you baste down the 2nd side, you are not measuring across the quilt top to ensure an equal horizontal measurement throughout the quilt. Maybe with the quilt you are loading it wasn't necessary. What do you do to make sure the quilt top measures equally across the quilt in the center area, Especially a top with many pieces that can cause it to stretch? 2: It appears you are not basting the entire quilt top before you start to quilt. I do a full baste before quilting so there are no surprises. Are you concerned about puckers, extra fabric from poor piecing or anything else that can cause issues?

First-time I've ever seen someone baste a quilt bottom to the leaders. Do you draw a line to put it on straight?

@luluandhazelquiltshop 3 месяца назад

No, I don't draw a line. It's a little hard to explain in type, lol, but its not so important that the stitches are straight, as it is important that the fabric is straight on the leader. My leaders have about a 1" hem, so I line the straight edge of my backing fabric up with the straight edge of the hem on my leader, so the backing fabric and the leader overlap by about an 1". As long as I keep the fabric straight on the edge of that hem, it doesn't matter if my stitches get a little wonky, because it is still attaching the fabric that is lined up straight. That might be clear as mud, lol, but I hope that helps! (Also, I will add that I only ever baste my backing fabric to the leaders, never the quilt top.)

Everything I have ever heard about cleaning any kind of sewing machine says you should never clean your machine with canned air bc it blows lint into places you cannot reach.

@luluandhazelquiltshop Год назад

Thanks so much for watching! That is true about many machines, particularly domestic sewing machines. It really depends on the machine and how it’s made. The rotary assembly area of the Gammill Longarm is all very open so you don’t have to worry so much about lint getting trapped and the whole area is accessible. And because of the open design, you are actually blowing lint out of the machine, and not farther into the machine. My Gammill dealer actually recommended cleaning this machine with canned air, I asked them because, before I, too, had always heard canned air was a “no-no” when dealing with sewing machines. At the end of the day, everyone should be familiar with their own machine and only use a method that you are confident and comfortable with in regards to cleaning. And when in doubt consult your dealer! Thank you so much for your comment, we appreciate any and all feedback!
