Fearless Quilt-Making: Stitch 2 Quilts in a Weekend

[@brit1945]

I love that you are chill about your grandkids and cats coming in and out 😊 it makes me feel like I’m visiting a friend’s house ❤

[@msplantladi]

Oh I agree about the grandkids & pets coming in while you are live, makes it feel so much more personal, yes like visiting with a friend.❤️☕️

[@judithburke1539]

Maybe you might want to make those quilts wider so if they turn over while holding onto the quilt they'll still be covered up. Especially when they grow older. ☺️

[@sherrywiggins843]

I definitely need to find out how to quilt with my embroidery machine! So excited!❤. Thank you for your videos, I love them and enjoy you 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

@sherrywiggins843 coming soon.

[@AIassistingquiltsandcraft]

Love big granddaughters drive-by.... ❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

She is a ham like Oliver. LOL

[@lynnperschke3966]

This was a fun video! Cutie granddaughters!

[@barbaramatthews4735]

OMG! I love wrinkle release. I use DG brand, too. We must be sisters from different misters. 😂 I love that Maxine gave her opinion on the batting.

[@sewquilty357]

Love both quilts .and you Grandchildren are adorable ❤

[@michellejaggard9657]

I loved the quilts and in typical Grandmommy fashion the quilting room was so funny, you are quilting, working on the long arm, a kitten running back and forth, little granddaughter, big granddaughter, kitten, Mickey mouse on the floor, Minny Mouse on the floor and you keep quilting, in my house it is a dog instead of a kitten, a husband saying can you come fix me something to eat, I'm hungry, and my oldest son, 54 in and out who has been working on his car or my lawn or garden asking is there anything to eat in the fridge? and one of the granddaughters asking if we are going to be making cookies? Hahaha. GrandMommys homes should always be such fun. Loved your videos, thank you so much. The quilts are beautiful and you and your family are just precious.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Aww. Thank you. All the activity definitely keeps things lively. LOL

[@pampaxton3072]

Oh the joy of picking your FQ from a bundle when it takes you longer than making the quilt top!!

[@brendabrinkmanpasichnyk3500]

[@debbiedobbins6785]

Me and 505 basting spray do not play nice in the sand box. Before I got my longarm I sandwiched a quilt on my kitchen floor…found out the hard way 505 and hard wood flooring do not go well together. Spent a half day removing the spray over…pretty sure I was in the dog house with hubby for a day or two. 😝🫣 your grandbabies are so adorable. Love the idea of the denim binding. Have a marvelous week Miss April. 🤗🤗

[@eddigilstrap9627]

WOW! You got a new longarm! Gammill? Love the red bow on it…..

[@HeatherTheMadQuilter]

I'm so glad you showed how to do a quilt sandwich on a smaller surface. I have been having such an issue with that and have not been able to find a good video showing how to do that efficiently.

[@donnabullard6770]

[@darlenepalmer9837]

Love watching your program gram. I just finished your first bandana quilt. Very big and turned great. Lays flat, quilting nice to. Did the serpentine stitch . Made diamonds . Thank you for sharing that tutorial. I did change how I cut it out and sewed it together. But still like yours. Had so much fun making it and picking out all the bandana’s. So cool. I even wrote myself out a pattern. Just in case I make another one. Thank you thank you so much.

[@wasloan8202]

Please do another video on just the quilting on an embroidery machine. I have two embroider machines and too many unfinished quilts. This may help me get some projects finished! Love the video and both quilts. Thanks!

[@annelacoste90]

[@CLR-v9k]

I like both quilts. However, the embroidery on the bandana quilt is speaking to me. You are making me think about getting a quilting/ embroidery machine.❤❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

You should! I love mine ❤️

[@trudyohara4436]

I’m intrigued about quilting on an embroidery machine. 😊

[@daisy8297]

Please show more of using an embroidery machine, I have never seen that before and was stunned at the result.😊

[@carolynthomas4527]

Great job!

[@brendarainwater6049]

Love your bandana idea! I do opposite, batting on the bottom and spray that, I avoid backing wrinkles that way and when that's complete I flip over so batting I'd on top again then spray and place quilt top. I also use 505 and QS Free Fuse powder without needle gum up from either but I leave everything sit overnight before I quilt. 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great tip!

[@jeanettebenton]

I love the banners one , April love your style.

[@carolynhowe9223]

😂😂😂grandkids are the best!

I'm very impressed with your bandana quilt. Who would have thought...Only you! 😊 I would also be very interested in a tutorial on quilting on my embroidery machine. Thank you for sharing your creativity and knowledge.

[@janiesoito4494]

April, you are such an overachiever!!! Both your quilts look wonderful. ❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you. I was really happy with the embroidery machine quilting.

[@donnahoefler2748]

I loved seeing you quilt with embroidery. I have two embroidery machines but they are over ten years old and do not know If I could do that, too small of a surface for one, but would love to see more on your site. Thanks for all the ideas on quilt materials out of the norm and the fat quarters also.

[@JRRackliff]

Would love to see more quilting on the embroidery machine ❤

[@barbaraherron-mangel1116]

Thanks!

[@aprilscraftroom]

@barbaraherron-mangel1116 Thank you so much --- I sincerely appreciate your support of my channel! Thank you April

[@francesrivera3569]

I loved this so much! I have an embroidery machine and have contemplated embroidering blocks for a quilt as you go because I couldn't envision an entire quilt being quilted. I gotta try it now. I think I'll begin small at first. I have several baby quilt panels and coordinating fabric just wasting away in some tote somewhere 🙃

[@micheleh4016]

I have quilted two lapsize quilts end'-to-end on my emb machine. They turned out great but the challenge is in calculating the repeats and lining them up starting from the middle of the quilt.

[@kyliespiller2163]

Wow love them both. Just love your videos thank you

[@neselain]

Great quilts. Would love a tutorial on quilting with an embroidery machine.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yay! Coming up soon

[@lisagilbert8472]

Beautifully done!! Love that you use two totally different types of fabric, and both are equally beautiful. Yes I would be interested to see how to embroidery machine works. Lord knows I need a new toy:)! 😊❤❤

[@michellejaggard9657]

That is just what I was thinking!! I could say it was my Christmas Present!!

[@brendafoley6995]

Bravo! Love them both!

[@GinaMiller-ux2dh]

Sew very cute!!!!

[@darlenegreen6821]

awesome..you are the best..

[@cathlenejohnson6359]

Yes more on using an embroidery machine to quilt with...please

[@aprilscraftroom]

❤️

[@sandrasharp8674]

Great job!! Love your channel!❤️

[@erica_w]

Yes, definitely interested in how to quilt with an embroidery machine. As a fairly new quilter who's not (yet) interested in sending projects off to a longarmer, and who does not (yet) want to invest in a longarm machine, an embroidery machine might be a more viable and versatile option.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I totally understand. I was at that point too when I found end to end quilting designs. At that time only one person I am aware of had them. Now there are lots of options. I will definitely do a tutorial. I am really pleased with the way my bandana quilt turned out.

[@sonyasmithart9085]

Very pretty

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@desleybartlett322]

Yes would love to see a tutorial on machine embroidery

[@wandawalker4191]

I use 505 a lot and have never had a problem with it.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love 505

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

They look great!

[@guesswhonancy9028]

April WOW ❤

[@elyyoung4492]

I love your videos. I will make the bandanna quilt soon. I’d love to watch a video on how to quilt w my embroidery machine.

[@quiltingforthesoul]

Very nice 👍🏼 quilts thank you 🙏🏾 for sharing. Have you tried the school glue it’s awesome. I love basting my quilts with the glue it will wash out. I put my back on top of my backing and turn it over and then put my top on. The glue doesn’t stick to your needles. I do a video on using the glue on KZbin if you want to check it out. Put it’s a couple of videos on KZbin using the glue.God bless you and your family.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hi Yes I have used the glue It’s a great option !!!

[@paulabecker7483]

I had the same issue with the June T spray. I use 505 for all my projects that need it🎉

[@beckysouk2510]

I would love to learn how to quilt with my embroidery machine!

[@rhondawaldron]

Yes, Please a tutorial on how to quilt on an embroidery machine. Thank you.

[@georgianelson5038]

Tape chopsticks to the middle of your table making a corner. Fold you backing in half and half again wrong sides together. Put the corner in you chopsticks corner and unflold. Clamp to table and smooth out. Do same with your batting. Then fold your top in with right sides together put corner in you chopsticks corner by feeling for it. Clamp and smooth out. I pin base my sandwich together and have no wrinkles. Then slide to quilt one way so you can pin that part and continue. Hoop your quilt starting in the middle, remove pins within the hoop.

[@reneecorbin8501]

THANK YOU❤❤❤

[@DeborahWilliams-qq3ev]

April, I would love to have the sizes and directions for your second quilt on today's video. Thanks in advance.

[@dianewells7690]

Me, too... I've watched 3 times thinking I was missing it🤷

[@CWright0215]

I only have a 4x4 embroidery area but would love to learn about quilting on your embroidery machine!

[@pattimize5742]

Yes, please do a video on how to quilt on the embroidery machine.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Will do - I was so pleased with the way the embroidery turned out.

[@toniabyrd77]

I would love a tutorial on quilting with the embroidery machine. My machine is a combo so I won't be able to make a second quilt while the first one finishes 😂

[@micheleh4016]

Have you tried using Elmer's School "Glue" for basting? No fumes, much greater control with no overspray. I use it for basting several.different projects and it's been great.
