Helen, this was simply amazing. I have tried to do some hand quilting, but was completely in the dark. You turned on that little light bulb in my brain. You make it so simple and easy, yet beautiful ... now, if it will just work the same way for me. I'll be keeping an eye out for more tutorials from you.
Hi Helen. I just love your manner in teaching. You are easy to follow and you explain things so well. You also make it look so easy. I just love watching you and think that you are one talented lady! Love to hear you great accent too. Many thanks to you and to A.P.Q. for this fantastic video tutorial, I will definitely have to try this in hopes it turns out as nice as yours. I am thinking quite a few practice sandwiches. I love the design. Thank you again and many hugs to you Helen. Claudia
This is the first time I’ve come across your channel, and I love it! This is an ingenious technique to put those curls in on any quilt! I’ll definitely be trying this! Thank you so much!
I wanted to say thank you so much for this instructional video! I am a beginner on a mid arm quilting machine & the roadmap tutorial made it easy to follow along & implement into my quilting! It’s far from perfect, but it doesn’t look half bad...I know it will improve with more practice, & this is a great start!
I can see using this with my longarm too in order get very pretty all over design that I’m sure will be balanced throughout the entire quilt! Thanks for sharing this!
I can’t say thank you enough. I’ve been agonizing over how to do an all over design on several quilts. I was going to buy some stencils and use the pounce pad. This is brilliant. I have a Panda pencil and I love it.
Wow that looks smashing! I wouldn't mind having a go at that, even though I've only got an ordinary sewing machine it looks like it would work. Thank you so much.
Just located your channel !! thank you so much.... was an awesome video this is so simple, it’s almost unbelievable...... thank you thank you thank .... Looking forward to more tips in Quilting... Lorene from Kentucky USA
This is an awesome technique. I always get intimidated by just freehand swirls like other videos show. I love to have a template when I FMQ and this is so easy to modify to fit the space!
Oh my goodness Helen this is amazing, I have a sweet sixteen but struggle quite a bit ! I think I could do this with lots of practice, flows so well. Love from Tasmania.
Good video! I like the idea of marking your quilt while you are in the process of gaining confidence in your free motion skills. As far as marking tools go, I’ve found that the color Bohin chalks stain. The whites are fine, though. Just a reminder to check every new tool you use.
Hi Sheila the reason you bring the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt when you start to FMQ is so the bobbin thread doesn't make a jumbled mess on the back of your quilt
Thank you so much for this! I started with a small project & it turned out great...I’ve moved on to applying this technique to my quilts & no matter what I do, the weight of the quilt creates a heavy drag...it doesn’t flow smoothly...any suggestions?
Where would one find those Panda pencils? I have tried numerous white markers, but they don’t give me the result that I desire. I would love to try something new. Great technique. Thank you.
