Cutie Breeze: Rehooping Horizontally.

[@jeanettbaker3922]

Love love love your videos! Thank you!

[@KimThomasinaz]

You have done more in this video that anything else I have come across (so far) to help me in my pursuit of using my Cutie frame! Looking forward to learning lots more with you!

[@quiltingonathread]

Wow! That's so nice of you to say.

[@kathyadams1508]

Thank you again for all your help with your wonderful videos 💕

[@kathyl17]

Great video again - thank you!

I am thinking seriously of getting a Cutie Breeze. What is the length of space needed for the table? How much room is good to have on each end as well. Thank you for the lessons.

[@quiltingonathread]

The Cutie Breeze is 51" wide and the base is 23" deep (not including the hoop that extends to the front). You can use a 4'x2' table. ,(The side rails of the base would hang off.) I am using a 52" Husky Workbench...I love it because it's height adjustable. The Cutie Breeze is currently on sale, so it's a great time to pick one up.

Hello. I was looking at the Cutie frame as well. Glad that I have found your videos. I have taken a class using the plastic rulers with my sewing machine to free motion quilt. I am trying to figure out how you quilt around with the Cutie. Is it always merandering. going where ever on the quilt or can you use the plastic frames with it or do you draw a pattern on it? Thanks in advance for your help in understanding.

[@quiltingonathread]

@@roxanneloyst3733 you can do anything you want: - FMQ (free motion quilt) moving your machine around in swirls, circles and patterns. - Rulerwork, following what you are calling the plastic pieces (normally called rulers or templates). - Pantographs. Tracing a pattern using a laser light attached to the frame. You can even get an automation package for the Cutie frames. There's a learning curve, but take your time and you'll get there.

I have the BabyLock Allegro with the cutie Breeze. Do you raise the front bar to allow the nose under? to give yourself 4" more quilt space? Or does that raise the back bar too high? thank you, your videos are super helpful for me the novice

[@quiltingonathread]

@@dianamenefee7768 you need to push the side rails out to the last hole that gives you the largest hoop space.

[@dianamenefee7768]

@@quiltingonathread thank you so much! that did the trick. hated having unusable space.

[@sdcgren6301]

Hi I watched you start the assembling of your cutie breeze and I’m wondering what dimensions your table were, like length and depth, that might help me decide whether I should buy one of these frame, your help would be appreciated.

[@quiltingonathread]

@@sdcgren6301 this table is the Husky 52" Workbench, available at Home Depot. The table is 52" x 24". The height is adjustable using a crank on the right front of the table.

[@sdcgren6301]

How big a space do you need, it seems to be sticking out a fair way.

[@quiltingonathread]

I reserve a 6ft x 6ft area for the frame and my working area. That's more than is needed, but this way there are no surprises...

[@lynnquast9205]

Where did you get your weights or do you have measurements for making a set, great idea! Also, I note that you have your laser attached on the top rail and wondered how you use it?

[@quiltingonathread]

@@lynnquast9205 I made these weights myself. I used a 12" x 4" piece of material for each and filled them with seed beads, rice or beans. (I have several sets of them.) The laser was initially attached to the top of the chariot bars and I was using that to drop a laser dot where my needle on my Allegro was, since I'm very nearsighted. This helped me to see where I was working.

[@dreamdanzzer]

I bought the qzone but I learn from you in shifting from your cutie and now the breeze. Due to arthritis I find getting the clips off a little tough

[@quiltingonathread]

I have a little arthritis as well and the clips can be difficult...

[@susanbraun698]

On my qzone the last clip on the back that she took off, I leave on. It helps to stabilize the back when sliding it down. Learned that from Leah Day. I am not sure if the clips slide easily on this frame. But it works well on the q zone frame.

[@quiltingonathread]

@@susanbraun698 the clips on the Cutie Breeze do not slide easily. That's the reason I use the weights.

[@susanbraun698]

I really like how you use the weights. It would help so much in loading and holding that fabric. I am enjoying your tutorials!@@quiltingonathread

[@janliljegren9524]

You are so helpful. Thank you. Do you think the "coils" will work on the Cutie frame (instead of the "breeze")? Will the "coils" be sold separately?

[@quiltingonathread]

The coils do not fit the original Cutie frame clips. I do not know the items that may be sold separately, nor the timing of that.

[@janliljegren9524]

Rats - was hoping they would fit.. Thanks for response

[@danielledelacio8992]

Hi Bonnie, Do you have a video tutorial on the sure stitch elite with the Allegro sewing machine?

[@quiltingonathread]

No I don't. I've never used the SureStitch Elite.

[@danielledelacio8992]

Thank you

[@MaxPower-gm9db]

Hi Bonnie it's me aurora

[@quiltingonathread]

Hey sweetie...when will we see you again?
