Loading Your Quilt TWO WAYS On A Longarm! HQ Watch & Learn Episode 3 

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

I think this was very helpful having both versions side by side.

This was very helpful! Thank you!!

I had hoped this would be more of a step by step instructional video of the close up view on the how to’s of loading the quilt. I feel like the instructions got lost when she wanted to turn this into a speed contest on who could load the fastest. I had to look fo another video to help me understand better.

Great video! I enjoy the comradery between the two!

I usually enjoy HQ videos but this one is very frustrating. If I knew how to load this would be fun. I bought my Amara online so the videos are the only way for me to learn. I’m overwhelmed by the machine and I don’t think I’m alone. Please redo and make how to load more clear.

Great video! I’m a complete newbie and I learned a lot!

Love the cascade dance, Johnny!!

I have learn all over again to do my simply sixteen thank you it help out a lot. I hard learn on my own. The lady i bough it from 2 hours from me never show me much i had learn from your video. thank you/

Looks like a lot of work!

You mentioned that Johnny has the taller frame. Can you demonstrate in a video how to raise a frame to a taller height?

Is there a separate video for each of the 2 loading methods? Switching back and forth in an instructional video (between the 2 loading methods) is a bit (actually very) confusing to a newbie like me. Thank you so much.

This is a great demo! However, I thought that at the beginning you mentioned you would tell us about the frame parts. I didn’t hear anything about the parts for clear view loading. Can you please tell us about that?

I like those side bins hanging on the end of your frames. Where did you get them?

If you used fabrics that had an obvious top and bottom it would help. On the screen it just looks like it is solid color fabric and can't tell what you have on the top.

When you load in clearview the direction of leader flow looks different. I don't see the cascade like in standard load. What is the difference?

I am seriously thinking of purchasing a used Avanti which has an 18 inch throat. I was looking at the Amara that Kim was using and although it is 2 inches wider than the Avanti didn't look like it had much quilting space. Can you help me with my decision Kim? Does size really matter? I will be a hobbyist but am open to a part time side gig if I have the skills.

Where do you purchase the wrist pin cushions?

The pins are always on the top of the printed side of the leader, correct?

I have an Amara and only ever loaded the clearview method as I use rulers all the time. I love it. I was wondering if anyone would could tell me why my thread breaks every time I try to quilt straight lines backwards from right to left across the quilt.

How are the leader on a clear view?

Please...a simple tutorial with close ups, straight explanation and no fluff. Your videos on loading are the height of frustration!

The link to “products” doesn’t work.

when you load the backing, does it get loaded with right side up or down?

3:08 how can you tell if you're pulling the quilt too tight on the longarm

I purchased my Forte and Gallery 2 Frame this summer and am just now wanting to do more FMQ and ruler work. I watched this video to learn the difference between the 2 views and how to switch between the 2 views but then when I went to switch between the 2 views on my frame it won't budge. When I reached out to my dealer they basically said I'd have to (almost) dismantle the frame to be able to switch between standard and clear and that I agreed to standard view at the time of my set up! Can someone help me understand why it is so simple in the video demo but my dealer is saying I'd have to dismantle the frame to switch between? Very frustrating!

I too wanted a more step-by-step clear instructional video on loading. While the friendly interplay between the hosts is nice, it was distracting to their instruction, distracting for me, and how I'm in search of a better video.

very frustrating to be showing 2 methods. I am trying to load directional top and backing. very confusing

you're using plain fabric so it is difficult to to tell whether the right side should be facing up or down

I would like a clearer video on the pinning part. I'm finding it hard to figure out how to hold the leader and fabric together while trying to pin through them.

In your hurry to beat Johny, you didn’t explain the direction you put the top on…for those of us haven’t done clear view

Why in the world would you race to do this when you are supposed to be teaching? I wanted to see how the clear view leaders were attached and that was not shown.

You cant see anything in this video ….

She rolled to quickly and incorrectly...your suppose to go slow and keep working BOTH ends!!

Hahaha silly. I only float my tops and use snappers. It takes minutes to load not half an hour.

A little too much kidding around and false starts.

Would be a good video if it was the the guy, not the woman butting in continuously couldn't listen to too much of that!

Too confusing

do these as separate videos; confusing going back and forth...not fluid

Brand new Amara 20, 12' frame owner, being delivered Dec 2023. You are not even 30 seconds into the video and are using terms I don't understand. sigh...... so frustrated. What the heck is "standard view" or "clear view"? They start out saying that they will tell you the difference between the two but DO NOT define the words.....so frustrated.

Nice comradarie but this was not helpful in learning how to load.

Please stop over-talking each other! And please show one technique at a time. Thanks

stop the racing, it's not relevant
