[@annielyst]

Wherever she lands? Did I miss something?

[@rrk2801]

@@annielyst they cancelled the Midnight Quilt show and she dropped whatever that channel was. Blue something, was once Craftsy...

[@tamrawalters1182]

This video came at the right time for me... I was stumped on how to quilt a client's busy Kaffe Fasset quilt ... I'm taking away lots of ideas. Can't wait to start now!!!

[@stephaniem6384]

[@teresavarnhagen6281]

Hi, adorable Angela! Great to see you again! This is a great intro to your style of quilting and it’s helpful to hear you use stitch in the ditch to travel but freeing to know you don’t worry about hitting every ditch. Thanks for this inspiring session!

[@celiaapple5317]

unintentional customization! love it!

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

Thank you Angela. Got my HQ stitch 710. Can't wait to practice this. Love my machine, it's perfection at its best. It's quiet and beautiful.

I struggle to get a big quilt under the machine without fighting with all the fabric. I’m not doing a king size quilt....you make it look easy 😜. Advice?

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thank you I always learn so much from your videos.

[@kaif1360]

[@beverlytoews9782]

Unintentional customizations.... 🤔 similar to Bob Ross' Happy Little Tree 💖🤣😂

[@debladue4481]

The little graphic was helpful!

[@macaulkins]

Glad to "see" you again and dang it you make it look so easy!! #envious

[@janet4595]

I have seen all of your videos and I love them. Can you do one on how to stabilize your quit top on a long arm.

[@jackietschantz]

Miss you

[@locoemutwo4872]

Excellent video!

[@norma6743]

Awesome, thank you

[@maryacevedo1071]

Love the tips, Quilting is my therapy my happy place. Question, where can I get some of those Gloves? Never seen some like those looks like they would be much easier to work with ,

[@rebeccawolf3196]

You make it look so easy! I am trying to man-handle a King sized quilt under the needle of my sit down long arm and man it wants to fight me! Even with the supreme slider under it - very difficult to move. Any tips? I have tried rolling it up on two sides and having it hang down in my lap but it still gets hung up and doesn't want to move smoothly. My shoulders are aching. Help.

[@MadebyaBEAutifulqueenBea]

I reckon your right. Lol great video 💙🐝💙 p.s.- I always talk about you in my videos. 😊🤦‍♀️

[@annettes7460]

Unintentional customizations, haha. Had a few of those! Love your videos. Is there a longer "swirl" video?

[@bnyzhny]

Luuuove your insights and you inspiring teaching style which helps viewers increase their perceived competence to master Beautiful yet complex skills, Angela. Thank you. 🥰👏. Somehow I missed the beginning of the BOM sequence illustrated in this tute. Is there a way by which I could join now and play catch up?

[@marisamariecourt9047]

I have been wondering something about picking a quilting pattern. Wedding ring, I have a quilt that the squares are embroidered and has a 4 roses with leafs on each that are to be quilted. Now do you pick and over all pattern in a contrasting color and quilt over all of it even the embroidered and already quilted roses? Sorry if this sounds confusing, I'm new to quilting and what to learn as much as I can so I dont have to hire someone else to do my quilting. Thank you inadvance for any help you can do.

[@lyndasnart7823]

You make it all look so easy ......alas my brain says that is not easy 😆👍🇦🇺

[@michellerennepowar2773]

Great tips Angela. If you are doing dot to dot in a mariner star. How can you not get struck at the same end while doing it?

[@craciopio]

Good Morning! LOVE your style and teaching ways - I’m new at free motion - so what exactly are you running it on - the top layer and batting? Can you also prepare the entire quilt (including back) and do this? I don’t yet know how to bind so I typically have done stitch and flip.....thank you!

[@alixmoses9449]

What foot are you using? I can never seem to get my swirls to be round enough.

[@terrybridgham7824]

Thank you, Angela! Do you have any suggestions for quilting designs for hand quilting? I am making a table runner entirely by hand since I do not have a working sewing machine right now. It contains blocks, rectangles and triangles. I was thinking about trying some dot to dot in the nicks and maybe the triangles, but unsure about the rectangles. I will repost this on the Facebook page with a picture of the tablerunner.

[@reneesmith2665]

I have a Janome 11000 machine. I know it is high shank sewing machine. I was given this machine so to get to the point I have no idea how to quilt. I cannot seem to get an answer from Janome if you can free motion with this type of sewing machine. But if you do not mind could you recommend to me a ruler foot that will work with the machine? And what is a beginner setting for the width of stitch I should practice on first? I know you have written many books. Which book would you recommend for someone like me who wants to learn to quilt and learn to do free motion? Thank for any of your help.

[@kathyrudd3945]

I love your ideas for quilting... but I find free motion too much and very stressful. I just don’t like it, even after taking a class. I love doing quilting with my walking foot, often using decorative stitches. Do you have any tips or hints for walking foot quilting?

[@kimrickardsson2219]

Love this video. How do you baste your Quilts?

[@equitime77]

If doing a 'thick' large quilt on a home sewing machine u us it on to sparsly stitch it? Such as such in stitch with a few embellishments?

[@MsHannah61]

I'm trying to finish my first quilt, All I have left is the backing to prepare before quilting. Do I sew the backing vertical or horizontal? Also, what kind of batting do you use, your quilts never look very thick which I really like.

[@patbriggs4415]

Where do you buy your ruler

[@denisepineda1788]

What thread did you use. It is so pretty

[@robinmalek1345]

Do you use anything under the quilt as you quilt it? I find it hard to move the material once I get it under my needle. Thanks. Robin

[@patwilcox8155]

Can I join the block of the month?

[@joyregula9602]

What color thread did you use please? If you’re traveling throughout the quilt then I have a hard time choosing the thread color.

[@stephpennell129]

Can u plz tell me more about build a quilt

[@patriciafranks6777]

🤦🏻‍♀️ I worry waaaay to much about the back of the quilt. I need to get a handle on my OCD 😂
