APQS Video Tutorial: Daisy Paisley Meander

[@o0oMysticdragono0o]

I don't know much about long-arm quilting so i would like to ask...what happened on that sewing at the end when there was loose thread? I think I saw that 2 other times in this video!

[@annphilbeck5174]

Its a practice quilt, I'm sure she isn't worried about that. Could be tension.

+Ann Philbeck thanks but I was wondering what has caused it...hoping to learn something...

[@annphilbeck5174]

It could be the bobbin tension too loose.. because the bobbin thread is your upper thread .There are a lot of videos on tension. Helen Goddard on youtube explains it best. google tension issues and she will come up Jamie Wallen does a great one as well.

Is this all free hand or is the machine doing it? I don't know how you would free hand a paisley design and have them all so perfect, or any design for that matter. Are any of the APQS machines automatic?

[@katiekittson1450]

In this particular video it is free hand. She is moving the machine to make those designs. There are additional programs and computers that you can add to a long arm machine that will allow you to program a design in and it will sew it automated without you having to move the machine at all. But yes, to answer your question she is doing it freehand. It takes a lot of practice.
