Hello from Alabama. I am just beginning to gather some items that I will need for EPP and saw baby balls. Several young ladies are having babies in our church so I thought hey just maybe I could make some of these to go along with the baby quilt I have made for them. What do you think would these baby balls be a good beginner item?

thank you sooo much!! this was very helpful. my dogs want an encore from your dog 😂😂 i am saving this vid for future reference. i'm trying to make a mid evil style dress... out of 1.5 in squares... with out lining. so lots of tacking on the back. the scraps are from other cloths that i've made. not sure if it's a good idea and i know it will take years but i am PUMPED!!😁😁

That sounds amazing! keep going and make sure to update me with your progress. There are many methods to tack down the underside and leave it unlined. Maybe I need to make a video about that.

EPP isn't just for hexies! This method is so under rated. No marking, and easier to press later. I use a glue stick for the initial "stick," rather than clips, but also prefer to thread baste. A hole punch in the center of the square helps to get the paper out later. Also, with the basting, and an initial press, I've had excellent results removing the paper BEFORE whip-stitching the shapes together. Sometimes sewing a bigger conglomerate with all that paper is a bit of a drag. Excellent video!

What setting/mode are you on for free motion? I had a 7700, never had any issue, changed to 6500 a few days ago, not having real problems just not familiar with the machine yet. I put it in Mode 1, stitch setting 1, but I'm used to setting stitch length to zero for free motion and mine won't let me do it in that setting. I bought it from a repair guy who was working on my Juki, looks brand new, was just serviced and has a lot of feet and all that, and I like it, just puzzled about the inability to lower the stitch length in that mode. Thanks so much! Cynthia
@lifeunderquilts Жыл бұрын
Have you been able to do fmq with the stitch set to 1.5 or something? The one weird thing is that on the 6500, you DON'T lower the feed dogs to fmq. I broke so many threads until I read that in the manual.
@rootsrocksfeathers1975 Жыл бұрын
@@lifeunderquilts No, not on the straight stitch setting with my free motion foot on, can't adjust the stitch length setting to anything other than 3.5. I can do it if I'm using the regular piecing foot, but not set up to free motion. I do/did lower my feed dogs to quilt, never heard that. I've been practicing without any issue at all from it. I did have issues with one thread breaking, but it was an older cone of Isacord, always shredding the thread. Had no trouble with cotton or Glide thread, though. I'll have to go back into the manual to see what you mean. In becoming familiar with the machine, I've read through the section on free motion and it doesn't mention it that I saw, but I've always lowered feed dogs to FMQ on all my machines, not sure why this one would be any different. Leah Day, the free motion quilt teacher on KZbin, doesn't lower hers, I understand, but I always have. One thing that could lead to breaking your thread is you are sometimes pulling your fabric through the machine rather than pushing it, I noticed. I use the Machingers gloves for better grip and a Supreme Slider on top of the bed and it glides without pulling. You may want to get some silicone spray and slick up the bed; I have it on my list to do for both my current machines if I don't use the slider sheet. Nice colors in your quilt there. I'll have to mess around with the settings and see if I can figure it out. Manuals never answer the questions you want to ask, LOL. Thanks for your reply! (((((Adding that I tried to lower the stitch length and left the feed dogs up and it didn't give me the warning I expected, was able to free motion. Well, never would have guessed that or tried it if you had not mentioned it, thanks! Maybe I figured this out with your help)))
