Join me in my studio for some impromptu live quilting.
Working on a vintage flying geese quilt. It requires all my attention so there won’t be a lot of chatting throughout. I’ll talk about some of the challenges at the beginning, and then it’s heads down get-it-quilted time.
Enjoy some new music during today’s show.

You and Dave are FANTASTIC! I like you have been looking since longarm quilting began for direction (10 yrs). You are the Champion! Thank for all the hard work. I appreciate everything you are doing. God Bless.

@user-rr2zk1no1c Год назад

love the split screen and those fabrics are so pretty!

@ourblessedhouse Год назад

Loved the split-screen view. Hope you use this on future videos!!!

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I'll tell Mr Producer!

@twinkling9499 Год назад

Enjoyed this very much. Love the quilting and also this split screen seeing you and the better close up of quilting. Thanks!

@twinkling9499 Год назад

It is a beautiful quilt.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Thanks for the feedback on the split screen. It really helps us to know what you like to see.

@katherinenitsche53 Год назад

11:00pm Wed. 6/28/2023 When you say it is watching paint dry it is so much more. For me it is feeling and seeing the rhythm. I have only done a few quilts so I really need that. I have spent a lot of houres watching. It makes the muscle memory so much easier. You are so unique and I love it. I need to feel the rhythm. So many shows will give a technique, then jump to the end and say how easy it is. I will watch every "boring" show you air since I am learning so much more in your process. Thank You, Kathy

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I’m so glad to hear that! I sometimes worry that I’m boring listeners by showing ALL the minutes, but if it’s helpful it’s worth it.

@franbaldwin9362 Год назад

I have to say I love love the new camera shots perfect!

@susieqmcf Год назад

I have quilted quite a few vintage tops from eBay over the years. I always have a runny nose and itchy eyes when working on them. Presumably it’s from dust and or tobacco residue. I just take an allergy pill and press on. Always worth it in the end.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

So interesting! I have some allergies, but the quilts have never bothered me. Except for the smells 😉

@edithgemmet1081 Год назад

New viewer. Love you so far

@kathygospodarek8541 Год назад

I might be late to the party here but i have a piece of batting at the top of the thread guide. On the tall thread guide. Hope i make sense. Love your videos. Thank you

@karentzn Год назад

Really love this split screen.

@bradkeller6283 Год назад

Hey it’s Brad from vra I enjoy your video and the music

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Awesome! It’s a different world from yours, but thanks for watching👍🏻

@jamesmason7647 Год назад

Judy in Oh-I’m a fairly new quilter who has been given many older quilts that have been hand pieced. They always have wonkiness, especially on the borders I never thought of eliminating part of that outside to have it squared. I’ll have to try. Thank you for all your tips, they are extremely helpful

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

That’s not always the case, but I’m this one, pieces were actually cut right though l, so it looked like someone cut the edge after it was sewn. We made the decision to square it up, both for measurement, and to get nice looking piecing along the edge. We did lose a smidge of size, but it looks far nicer.

@pamelaanderson4211 Год назад

I have had my Bernina for 5 years now. I have the best luck using Topstitch needles. 100/16, sometimes 18. I always always keep my bobbin at 200 or a little under. Never over 200 as Bernina recommends. I usually use Glide on top and bottom. If I have the right color, I will use Superior So Fine in bobbin. Hope some of this helps. And I’m sure you know to not have sandwich too tight. I have pretty good luck.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

All good ideas. My service guy did suggest a more robust needle than I was using and it does seem to help.

@scrappyquilter8741 Год назад

Love watching you quilt “sew”relaxing. I think I need a nap. 😂

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Oh, it’s too bad I put you to sleep 😴 🤣

@dmnyankeeaphio Год назад

Love the split screens. Just bought my first vintage top at a flea market. It’s a GFG. Can’t wait.

@dijones9217 Год назад

I enjoyed the split screen…memorising. Thank you

@pamelalinthompson Год назад

Split screen is great

@beckymccubbins5845 Год назад

I really enjoy how you explain what you are doing at the beginning of the show. I wonder how you would feel about “talking out loud” about what you are thinking when you are doing certain things on the quilt? Sort of talking to yourself out loud. Lol, I’m thinking that would be super helpful. I know you were trying to concentrate but it wouldn’t have to be constant talking. I talk out loud to myself all when I work. Not all the time when I work sometimes. It would be helpful to a newbie like me.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I think some episodes I do that more than others - it does depend on how much I’m needing to concentrate on what I’m doing😁

@snickerbuckle Год назад

I like the split screen too! Love watching your process on a vintage quilt. As for the repeated thread breakage, I’m wondering if it’s a timing adjustment. With your other machine having a round shank needle, a wee twist to the right would usually fix the thread breaks. Doing that trick is essentially making a timing adjustment because it deflects the eye of the needle toward where the hook is about to grab the thread through the scarf of the needle. You can’t do that with a flat shank needle so a true timing adjustment might be needed in the actual hook mechanism.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I did have a full service done since this video aired, and it is MUCH better.

@snickerbuckle Год назад

@@StitchedBySusan Yay!!

@lcarolynghearing854 Год назад

Coming in after the fact…love the split screen and the music, and especially watching your brain work then making the quilting happen 🤩👏🏻👏🏻💐 also, the fabrics appear to be 1930’s-1940’s feedbacks, I think your estimation on age is correct…

@lindadittrich151 Год назад

Love the music and all the beautiful work you are doing on this wonderful old quilt! Love the split screen, also. And, Mr. Producer, you are awesome!

@simplyquiltingwithnancysanders Год назад

You are so patient. I would have probably given into quilting an all-over design on this one for sure.😊

@ellenpalmer8571 Год назад

Susan, I love your videos. This one especially because there was less chatting with others on line. I don’t care about that. Also glad to see your camera angle in this one. Some of the shorts do not have a camera angle of the quilting. Like your knowledge and experiences shared.

@debrabeaumont9955 Год назад

Great choice on design. Like the music as well.

@rheaanncrowe6748 Год назад

I had lots of thread breaks on my long arm machine. After several years...thinking it was me, the thread, the needle or thehook on the bobbin, they finally fixed the timming and now I hardly have thread breaks.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I’m having a service technician run some diagnostics. Pretty sure I should have asked for professional help much sooner😉 Glad to hear it was successful for you.

@judyn2049 Год назад

Regarding thread breakage...Have you tried a different brand of thread? My APQS longarm definitely prefers a specific brand. I had a lot of thread breakage with one of the brands but it resolved when I switched to a different one. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I have tried a couple, yes.

@estherthurman2628 Год назад

Liked the split (Two screen) view

@user-ut1zg3me3s Год назад

Sure are you get to feeling better soon. In the same boat with you. Antibiotics and steroids' for me, head down and quilting on.

@pamelaburch4484 Год назад

Straight stitching to the left is where mine breaks a lot. I Am on a gammill.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

On a Gammill that can sometimes be helped by turning the needle a hair. It has to do with the timing that the bobbin hook assembly is catching the thread, and basically you're tweaking that. Pretty sure you could find some RU-vid videos on how to do that.

@christybailey7401 Год назад

Maybe your old sock trick would make a difference.

@edithgemmet1081 Год назад

Split

@sprklhair 10 месяцев назад

I feel for you with the broken thread issue.....ugh. You said you were using a 14 needle. have you tried a larger needle? I use a 16 or 18 long arm needs for 40wt. Im quilting on an Innova. Love that the Bernina uses regular sewing machine needles!

@StitchedBySusan 10 месяцев назад

I tried every kind I could think of! Full servicing finally did the trick, and she runs like a champ now.

@gaynorstone4087 Год назад

Try quilting with a denim needle. Really helps with thread breaks

@gaynorstone4087 Год назад

Good morning from a cold Johannesburg. It’s 06:00 here so in bed with coffee

@karentzn Год назад

Hi from Tzaneen

@sprklhair 10 месяцев назад

Where do you get all the vintage quilts? I've looked and, other than eBay, which I'm skeptical, I can't seem to find any. I live in vacaville, ca. close to Sacramento. just love watching you quilt. You have a very calm, kind, teaching style! love your set up and your "mister producer". great gig!!!

@StitchedBySusan 10 месяцев назад

In the past I've gotten some on ebay, they seem more rare these days. I can't always find them by looking, I seem to trip over them at garage sales or sweet friends give them to me.

@quiltgram3056 Год назад

I agree.

@rosefazio1859 Год назад

Does Susan ever get backaches from the way she leans over while quilting? My back is sore just from watching her!! Lol

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Sometimes...I do take frequent breaks, and I'm always working on my posture. It's not something I do well, but it doesn't stop me from quilting 😂

@roycarraway4270 7 месяцев назад

I love watching your ruler work. I am very afraid to try it. Where did you get your ruler? It looks like it would be easier with that style tool.

@anettek.laursen9475 6 месяцев назад

Hi. I just found you recently and I am hooked 😊 I really enjoy the videos and I am learning a lot. Thank you 🙏 one question: how does your scissors stick to the top of your long arm ?

@StitchedBySusan 6 месяцев назад

On my last long arm I had a small magnet permanently attached on the top. On my current one, I tuck it in a knob on the handlebar.

@Nadia-uc8wm Год назад

It seems to me, that your thread don’t goes straight upwards to the first loop but diagonal directly to the second.

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

The thread guides? It’s in both.

@laurarelph7803 Год назад

I am curious how u lay this out for the customer Is there a chance they will b upset losing part of the geese? Im assuming this is considered Custom and you charge more? I do love yr design choices on this needy subject

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I call it mid-custom. Yes, the price is a little more than E2E. I talked the quilting over with the customer, who in this case happens to be a friend😉 But I’m just really honest about the results they can expect.

@paulamckenna3527 Год назад

Why did you clamp the backing after stabilizing the top & sides?

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I prefer to do the stabilizing when all layers are relaxed. Then when I attach the side clamps, it all has equal tension. I feel like if I clamp the backing first, it will overall get pulled more than the top.

@paulamckenna3527 Год назад

@@StitchedBySusan Thank you. Enjoy your videos. Most informative to a novice longarmer.

@pattypritchett4382 Год назад

I’ve not seen a ruler like that. Can you share where you got it from?

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

It’s by A-1, but it doesn’t seem to be in production any longer. Which is sad, because it’s awesome!

@SnowWhite1352 Год назад

I’m wondering if starching and pressing it would help?

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

Thanks for the idea…but I think we’re beyond that. Im calling in some professional help👍🏻

@karentzn Год назад

I see you are using the zipper now. Is it much better than your red snappers?

@StitchedBySusan Год назад

I’ve always had the zippers on, no matter what loading system I use. I still love the red snappers, thought I’m not currently using them on the far edge.

@karentzn Год назад

@@StitchedBySusan Susan I never realised you had zippers as well. Hoping you sort out the thread snapping.
