E2E Basics for ProStitcher Beginners

[@mariemiller4007]

I watched your video last night. Thank you for making it easy. Yes I need help so on to the next video 😊

[@indigolisa]

This was incredibly helpful! Thanks!

[@janell6483]

Thank you so much. Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. I had 90 minutes of training on my pro stitcher. There are so many things I’m sure the tutor showed me, but I didn’t get the info stored in my long term memory. Now I can save your videos and watch them over and over.

[@JuliePettyjohn]

I am so glad they help. When I started, I was overwhelmed. Even if you have the very best training, there are too many things to remember from one or two training sessions. I had to take one thing at a time and not worry about all the other things I wondered about. Quilting can be such a fun process.

This was great ! The cropping was so easy ! You can see a design on your shirt reflecting from the monitor and my granddaughter spotted it . And asked me if you knew you had a ghost ! Now I can not unsee it ! lol

[@JuliePettyjohn]

That’s funny. I try to keep myself and my ghost out of the picture as much as possible.

[@JuliePettyjohn]

Thanks for watching. I hope your E2Es are going smoothly.

Great tips, I have had issues in the past. I will give your method a try.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

A good video. I never could figure out how to crop the bottom. Now I know! the rest was hard to follow with the camera movement but I did get a lot from your video. thanks!

[@JuliePettyjohn]

Thank you for the comments. I appreciate the good and the helpful critiques. I will try to figure out a better solution for future. I do understand and agree that the camera movements were bothersome.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

@@JuliePettyjohn Well I sure couldn't do what you are doing! It is a wonderful service!

[@opheliavoyager]

Thanks Julie for the great video. I always use the drag/drop method - like you do, and it seems to always work for me. I've never tried the method where you put a pin on the side of the quilt. At first I would do the HQ method of drag/drop with the needle in the quilt, but I have made many errors doing it that way. Like others, I've made mistakes with cropping the bottom of a quilt, but I'll put your method on paper, and make sure I follow the steps.

[@JuliePettyjohn]

I am so glad to hear from you.

On cropping the last row on my last quilt the row above dips down into my area that is being cropped and my machine wants to quilt that part that dips down even though my start point was at the new row. I couldnt get rid of it and ended up stitching the whole design on last row to get it right. Has anyone had this issue?

[@JuliePettyjohn]

That is why it is important to first: Crop between start and stop. When you do that, you delete out that previous row that dips down and are only left with what you need. Always crop between start and stop. THEN, draw your area box and crop outside area box, closing ends.

I just subscribed to ur channel. Do u help with PSL also? Or just PSP?

[@JuliePettyjohn]

@@SuzetteSeal I’m so sorry; I’m not a Lite helper. I got so busy, I haven’t even made a video for a while, but I am planning one soon, so thank you very much for subscribing.

[@laurakuffler2306]

What machine and throat space do you have?

[@JuliePettyjohn]

I have a Handi Quilter Amara 20". It is the 20 inch, but of course that's not how much throat space I have. I think 15-16. I never do designs taller than 14"; that's my safe zone.
