A Quick and easy Stitch to Quilt Your Quilt "Double C"

[@elunedmoseley2269]

I wish people like this would get more credit for their wonderful talents - we live in an era of cheap talent-less reality tv and absurd modern art where idiots get paid a fortune for nothing, when it's people like this who should get credit - amazing, thank you x

[@944gemma]

Right on. Very well said.

[@homesteadingwithesikrumpua3046]

Eluned Moseley FACTS!

[@annflynn3199]

Totally agree well said

[@ranchochihuahua]

Just because you don't understand modern art doesn't mean it isn't art. It's the creative thought process that we don't want to stifle. What makes repetitive motions on a machine to make a letter C more valuable than modern art? Or do you just want people in the industrial world to keep their hands busy so they can't think for themselves? While I appreciate the lessons on free motion quilting, I can't agree with your bashing the art world. And get rid of that idiotic profile pic.

[@rccyberwarrior2267]

@@ranchochihuahua Your comment is both rude and uninformed. Modern art is part of the brutalism movement designed to depress and demoralize members of western nations -- all part of the communist (rooted in luciferianism) agenda. From 45 Goals of Communism for Takeover of United States (read into Congressional record in 1963): "22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to 'eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.' 23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. 'Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.' ..."

The best compliment I can give you is that I've watched this video at least 3 times. You're clear, concise and charming. Thank you!

[@irenesirkklupp6649]

I loved your c’s. I also loved how you said don’t stress, but quilting should be fun.

[@cherylwilliams42]

I love your Andy on the shelf. I have Ann and Andy, gifts from a special friend, and I’ve never thought about displaying them in my sewing room. I will now. Vintage toys for vintage creations; it make sense. And, you always boost my courage.

[@cindiwarnier4759]

By far probably one of THE most helpful videos on FMQ I've EVER seen!!!

[@crzy4qlts]

I love how you teach! You don’t waste the students time with excess talking while pleasantly explaining exactly how to do the technique. I’m going to try this, thank you!

[@ritasokol646]

Just lovely and simple too! Thank you for more great quilting tips! You speak clearly, and slowly so we can grasp the lesson.

[@michellegiles4152]

I’m new to machine quilting and am excited I found your channel. You have great teaching tips and how to videos. Thanks so much. ❤

[@maryharvey2401]

Your voice and instructions are beautifully calm and clear. Thank you.

Hi from Ohio! I'm glad that you show steps in which are easy to understand!

[@missmartamc]

I am brand new to quilting and am so glad I found you. You are very easy to follow. You have a wonderful presence about you and I think it must be The Holy Spirit. Thank you for sharing your gift.

thank you and welcome

[@judithuhlinger7596]

You are an amazing teacher! Many people know what they know but cannot teach it to others. Your videos are fun, concise and oh so helpful!!! Thanks so much for sharing your gifts and talents.

[@diane8885]

Thank you. Like your video. You are an excellent teacher. Clear, concise instructions and you anticipate some issues and address them. Just bought a 13 inch sit down quilting machine. My group is making charity quilts and I volunteered to quilt them so I have 5 quilts to do! I like this pattern and will get lots of practice

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Diane Duffy-Patyjewicz It's a great pattern, have fun and thanks for doing charity quilts:)

[@GM-sv7iw]

Thank you Laura for this great video showing an easy and fun way to fmq my quilts...I make quilts for donation to a local women’s shelter ...I usually just stitch in the ditch but now I will be quilting them “making c’s” to give them a special look!

[@CommonSenseTX123]

I'm trying free quilting for the first time and can't wait to try this! I love the way you teach the steps and little tricks. So many videos out there are so random and disorganized but yours are always so concise and easy to understand. Thanks a ton!

[@kjoto]

This is a great video. I love your coaching positivity at the end. It doesn't have to be perfect, just perfect to you. Love your teaching style.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Oh yes, it is after all a hobby!

[@Aquahoma]

Love the peacock in the background. You have a wonderful talent. I enjoy your videos. You explain everything and make it easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful items.

[@angelabatterman6381]

The BEST hand quilting video I have seen. Thank you I may have the courage to do this now!

[@rodagrey2477]

I agree the previous person who said you are amazing teacher. You made it look so easy and not worrying about mistakes (stitches all over the place) I am new quilter and I am about to try free motion quilting. Thank you for your teaching.

[@vickirohde3050]

Thank YOU, Thank YOU THANK YOU!!!!! This quilting pattern with the C are so great!. I finally feel like I can quilt my own tops and they look great! Thanks for taking the time to teach this stich.

[@SewVeryEasy]

You are so pleasing to listen and give us hope and confidence. Thank you.

[@valerieroling8035]

SEW SEW COOL! You're so calm and I hope I can remember to be the same when trying this technique. I will practice on paper first till comfortable. I always love your tutorials and love to see your quilt projects too. Thanks a million!

[@katfet]

Laura, just adore watching your videos! You do a very good job explaining things in an easy to understand way. I will be tuning in often. Please do continue your teaching videos. Kath

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thank you and Thank you for taking the time to watch

[@cleach5501]

Thank you for making quilting so much fun. Love watching your tutorials. 🇨🇦

[@newbeequilter]

You make free motion quilting look achievable for even a beginner. The various pink fabrics on the front of the quilt are certainly pretty (and believe me, I love "all things pink"). But at 7:05 when you show the finished back of the quilt with the contrasting dark fuchsia thread - well, I think it's the prettiest part of the quilt! It has just the right touch of movement for interest, yet were I sitting in a comfortable chair I could see following the design with my eyes that would distract me me from the cares of the day, with a calming effect - perfect for a nap! In fact I could see making an entire bed quilt with just one fabric on the front and one different fabric on the back using this Double "C" design for quilting. I've got a number of 100% cotton new designer flat sheets (some in 200 thread count, and some in 300 thread ct or higher) in solids of tone on tone that I bought on sale years ago, thinking I would use them for quilt backings before I learned that many quilt instructors discourage using different thread counts for the front and back. But I may give this a try using two sheets with the same brand and thread count for both front and back and use my Schmetz 80/12 Microtex needles for the quilting. Perhaps I'll try it out on a baby quilt or a sofa throw first. Do you have any advice as to whether or not you think I'm using the right needle, etc? Or would you advise me to just donate the sheets and only make quilts that use traditional quilt fabric? Thanks, Laura.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+newbeequilter Yes a lot of people do not like to use sheets for the back. It is hard to quilt through. However I would use them to learn on. Your needle should be fine or you might need to go up a size 90/14. Start with small pieces. Have fun quilting on those sheets, you can now take the pressure off yourself and just go for it. If they don't turn out "Oh well" no loss but in the meant time will get experience. But please wash the sheets a few times before you quilt them. The one thing is that if the sheets are stiff ...use them just as sheets or the "learning to quilt thing" will not be fun. My first quilt I too used a sheet....and only once,! When you get to quilt a quilt with good cotton ...you will feel and see the difference. So use them to practice on and quilt your quilts with quilting cotton. thanks for asking :)

[@newbeequilter]

+SewVeryEasy Thank you SO much for taking the time to answer my questions about quilting with sheets. I may make a a basic duvet and pillowcases out of several; the rest I'll donate. You've convinced me that trying to quilt on sheeting fabric will not be enjoyable. I have plenty of quilt shop quality fabric in my stash - so even my practicing free motion quilting can be fun. Thanks for the good advice and saving me some frustration.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Glad I could help:) happy quilting

[@helenstevenson9008]

You have given me hope to give this method a try, I usually do stitch in the ditch or zigzag, or wavy lines but you made this look so simple. Thank you. 👏🇦🇺🙋🏻‍♀️💐

[@wendybradley8420]

Thank you Laura for speaking so clear. I have hearing problems,with your videos I can actually understand you,and able to read your lips as well. Wonderful videos

[@SewVeryEasy]

You can read my lips ! How cool. I'm glad you are able to follow along, if ever you need something clarified be sure to ask, and thanks for watching

[@TheDebalbertson]

Thank you for your videos I enjoy watching them. They are so easy to understand and the way you teach helps us all I’m sure feel more confident

[@penelopenorris4417]

I can only repeat what everyone has already said...You are, truly, a fantastic teacher. This tutorial could not have come at a better time. I have two quilts I wanted to do myself (they are small) but I did not know where to start. "C" 's it is!! Thank you so very much. I can not wait for your next amazing tutorial, they are so inspiring.

[@ariannabrown1789]

I love this video so, so much! You’re an excellent teacher, and you’ve made free-quilting so much less daunting for me than I’d thought it would be. Thank you so much!!! ☺️

[@melanievarela4048]

This is my "go-to" FMQ design very often when I don't have a plan for a quilt, or am whipping up a quick project. It's also much easier than stippling. Very nice work and very pretty quilt. Thanks for sharing.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Melanie Varela Thanks, it was such a fun quit to make. Happy quilting

[@sunseekerrs3087]

Thank you so much for this! I love how you get right to the point when you teach. That’s so refreshing!

[@MirahCarter]

You have a gift. You make quilting fun. I think I will try it. Have never made a quilt, but you are inspiring! God bless you.

[@rosemarybruckner8794]

Laura, I have been afraid to try more than straight lines or meandering in my machine quilting, but you make this technique look so easy! When I watch you, I can even see how your Cs might turn into feathers. Thanks so much for this inspiring video!

[@micah0605]

Love your tutorials. Keep them coming. Learn something each time I watch. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much.

[@mariannerooks9095]

Your presentation style is excellent, and makes sense of the information one must tackle to become skilled enough to free motion quilt her/his own quilts. It is both joyful and hopeful to have found this wonderful site. Thank you profusely.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thank you very much and Welcome :)

[@victoriastirling2651]

Firstly I would like to thank you for sharing your skills, gifts, talents and knowledge on quilting as it has come a long way from hand quilting to machine quilting. I love the C's its so simple and awesome. You explain the technique very clearly with a soft voice this makes it ever so relaxing. I love making baby quilts for colleagues and friends. However, a local baby shop has asked me to show her a baby quilt I have made so maybe I could make a living from it. The quilt is gorgeous love the colours and very striking to the eye. Victoria

Thank you and good luck !

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you

[@jaceek2030]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! For sharing this tutorial, and for showing where you "crossed the line" and said, "I'm leaving it.". In the past I've been so hyper-critical of my quilting that my hubby has half jokingly told me he thinks I enjoy taking my work out more than I do making the quilt. The past few months I've been going through the numerous quilt tops I've had waiting to be quilted. I've been "making" myself do free motion quilting and NOT going back to take out stitches that are perfectly fine. So far I've finished 5 quilts, and it's been very nice to have them finished and being enjoyed instead of unfinished, folded, and stored away.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Jacee K Yes, don't worry about it, we all make cross overs, It takes practice to become perfect...a lot of practice...I have learned not to worry about it, I just enjoy the "doing". If only we were born expert quilters:)

I took on the mammoth task of starting to make 8 snuggle blankets for my grandkids in time for Christmas. As this is the first Christmas of using my new sewing machine I have not done any stippling etc at all as I don't want to mess them up. Well, six down and only two to go, and after a few hitches, they do look good, not perfect but they're home sewn and unique to each child. I've also put a label on each one saying "Made with love by Grandma." Thank you so much for your videos, they're very helpful.

I have quilted many quilts..and struggled with them, to push them through the throat of my little machine..Watching your video.. something clicked in my brain.. only work on one quarter of the quilt at a time! I love that idea! will make things so much easier, for FMQ, I think. Thanks so much!!
