[@carolinekalokerinos9352]

Thank you so much for sharing this video,You made it so easy.I have tons of quilts to quilt for charity.Well done!!!!😀❤

[@lw984]

Thank you! This was by far the best video on using the edge to edge designs for my embroidery machine. You made it so much easier about doing the lining up of the designs. I definitely learned a lot from you. GREAT VIDEO!

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

You are so welcome!

[@gwenharlow4328]

I totally agree! Many thanks.

[@olivemiller4805]

Your explanation makes this process so much easier!! I just may get the backlog of quilts done!!

[@jiffer240]

Thank you for the written instructions as well...

Have done a full size quilt with my embroidery machine, the game changer is the magnetic hoops on the market.

Just curious - if you are using masking tape on the edge of the quilt top, and you stitch over the edge with the design, how do you remove the masking tape that has been stitched upon?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

We generally recommend not stitching over masking tape, but if you do, you can try to remove it using tweezers.

[@wallylee9259]

Hi, thanks for the beautiful video and a good explanation and your beautiful smile which finishes it all. What kind of pen do you use to draw the lines on the fabric? And is it removable? I always use chalk, but this seems much better to me. Thanks in advance, and keep smiling.

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

It is an air erase pen! We also use water-soluble pens. The lines will disappear after washing.

[@Nanacansew]

Thank you so much. Great video!! I like how you were succinct in doing the project. One thing, I did click the Edge-To-Edge link and I got a 404 error.

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

Oh no! Our team will look into that.

[@d.steele4304]

Thank you Emily. I have read to start quilting from the center of the quilt outward. Have I misinterpreted that to mean the very center of the quilt? So when with machine embroidery we start at left edge and at the center row of the quilt instead of dead center? Thank you for any reply and clearing this up for me.

Hi! We would love to help you. Please email our customer service team. [e-mail]

[@sovine503]

How did you print out your design? Did you have to use a special program?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

You would need machine embroidery software like Embrilliance or Embird.

[@rebeccamcconnell5393]

Did you mark a line along the side of the quilt so as to make sure you were the same distance from the edge all of the way across the quilt?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

Here is a link to the design. Urban Threads is one of our brands as well: www.urbanthreads.com/design/witches-brew-sign-ut22590

[@chelindarivas174]

What machine is that?

[@donnaperyginathome]

Do you use cutaway stabilizer or fusible interfacing? Where do you put it? Between the layers?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

You might not need stabilizer for edge-to-edge quilting.

[@maryschiff9580]

What does the back of the quilt look like when doing E2E quilting on an embroidery machine? Is the machine programmed to allow the stitches to meet in the middle of the quilt or is it going to pull the top thread to the back, as is normal for embroidery? That’s the part that concerns me since the back of embroidery always looks ugly.

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

Our edge-to-edge and double-run quilting designs are created to stitch through fabric, batting, and back, meaning that the front will look the same as the back so long as you use the same thread in your top needle and bobbin. In the thumbnail image, you can see the front and back of the quilt that was stitched using our edge-to-edge designs. If you have additional questions, please email [e-mail]

[@maryschiff9580]

@@EmbroideryLibraryEL thanks so much for your reply, it helps me understand much better.

[@conniehalstead8144]

Just learning how to do this...do you always start at the bottom center and work each way?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

You might find our written tutorial very helpful for some of the finer details! Here is the link: www.emblibrary.com/EL/ELProjects/Projects.aspx?productid=PR2271

[@lucybugden8290]

Can this be done on a stellare with the My desgin centre

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

We assume you mean the Brother Stellaire? It looks like your hoop size should work with this type of design, and we also have PES format. If you have specific questions, always feel free to reach out to [e-mail]

[@barbarad7193]

Thank you for the instructions. I would like more instruction on using the camera when using embroidery designs.

[@meganm4569]

You don't need a stabilizer for this type of project?

[@CookieP42]

I am new to quilting and have a 15 needle maching. how do I lower the needle on my machine?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

We would be happy to help! Please email our customer service team. [e-mail]

[@kquilter6043]

Do you start each consecutive row in the middle of that row and work out to each side?

[@sreihart]

You begin the quilt in the middle row, on the end. The design stitches from left to right (I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong). Then you do the next row, which could be the one on top or on bottom of the one you stitched.

[@lucybugden8290]

How do you print off the template with the design

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

To print off a template you would need to have embroidery software. Alternatively, you could stitch the design once and create a template with the stitch out if you don't have software.

[@merylweintraub9747]

Where can I get a magnetic hoop like you use, tape and markers?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

We use a Brother magnetic hoop!

[@debbiereed4430]

How big of quilts can you do?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

There really is no limit! We generally make baby quilts as samples, but you could do queen and king size quilts if desired. It would only take longer.

[@yvonneadrian734]

Where do you find the template to print out?

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

We created a template by printing the design using embroidery software.

[@digimom82]

I would love it if you could find someone that does this on a commercial embroidery machine. I have a Happy Voyager and Brother 770. I have a bigger field on the larger machine. But I can’t find anyone doing it on the commercial machine

[@EmbroideryLibraryEL]

Thank you for your feedback!
