FINISH QUILTS ON MY MACHINE! PICK THREADS, BACKING, AND BINDING!

[@chriscavy]

I love playing the game of trying to guess which thread you're going to use

[@SuperBettyboop23]

I do the same thing with the thread and most the time I’m guess right😊

[@victoriapowell404]

Me too.

[@vrenikohler2136]

haha... me too and I've gotten quite good at guessing which one she'll go with!

[@lesleydickson7746]

I’m always wrong! 😂

[@rainydaydiva6320]

⁠@@lesleydickson7746 Me too, Lesley, I hardly ever choose the color Donna does.😅

[@colleenrhynold5197]

Oh my gosh, this woman is so talented and smart. Wouldn't I love to be close to this fabric shop? Thank you Donna for all of your videos. I think I've watched most of them now and I actually watch a few of them over and over. Colleen from Nova Scotia Canada.

[@PatA95]

I'm on the east coast and have ordered from them. They are extraordinarily fast, I've seen them beat other online sources stores by a week in terms of speed. And they've never botched an order either.

[@HRHDMKYT]

They aren’t actually open to the public! (So even if you went to Grants Pass, Oregon you would not be able to go in and shop there). So everyone only orders online.

[@pamhart4994]

Loved this video.

[@carmenbell77]

@@HRHDMKYT However, if you place an order, you can still pick it up in person. I’ve done it several times. ❤😊

[@happytraveller8953]

I feel the same way and I live in Scotland. They are very good about shipping things overseas. That said, there's nothing like pouring your hands over the bolts...yum!!!

[@joycegriffee1758]

Very informative. I can’t afford a long arm quilting machine, but if I could I’d get one just like yours, Donna. I love watching it quilt. You are so informative in a friendly, easy going manner. I feel like I should know you. 🎉❤

[@jimack7817]

Thank you so much for the quilting demonstration. Helps to demistify the process. Haven't you been busy working in the business, doing the tutorials, all so time consuming, I appreciate all the effort you make so again, thank you. I am in awe!

[@Ucongold]

Love, love ,love seeing how a long arm is set up. Thank you for taking the time to show all the steps.

[@conniehusband1365]

Thankyou Donna! Your wonderful way of removing the mystery of mounting a quilt is so generous! You make it look easy, however.......still requires lots of effort. An amazing woman!!!!!!

[@judyhendrickson784]

This was a very interesting tutorial. I enjoyed it so much. I haven't been able to sew or do a lot these past few months because I've been recovering from open heart surgery. I am so ready to have a new lovely quilt to make and snuggle up in. My strength will soon return. Thank you for your videos, they help fill my day.

[@janineclow5963]

I too have had open heart surgery. A huge journey but I am more well now than ever. Quilting had been my happy place since my recovery !

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Wishing you a complete recovery🙏🏻

[@jenniferreinke9898]

Donna! This was awesome for me to watch! Thank you for sharing this post. You have been my teacher for the past 8 years. I loved this video. The time and talent you share with us is wonderful. Thank you

[@liz.mcdonough]

Donna, thank you very much for this video. Some time ago you had one on loading a quilt onto the machine. Even though I don’t have a long arm and don’t intend to get one, I’ve watched that video several times. I had no idea there was so much work involved in loading a quilt. I enjoy this one also because you show other things to consider such as the thread, backing, etc. Thanks so much for these informative and interesting videos.

[@janalaney6585]

Oh my gosh this was SO HELPFUL!! Now I have a better idea of what my quilter does with my tops!!!😃😃 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@TheScooter58]

I love watching the entire process but my very favorite part is when she opens a bolt of fabric, cutting the plastic on it!

[@kaywilliams2817]

You have such great taste in color and design.

[@valeriek4051]

Thank you for showing us the process of quilting a quilt on a Gammill longarm machine. Your quilts are beautiful 😊

[@CraftyRie]

Loved this clip, loved seeing the process of the quilting. Also, loved how you colour matched your outfits to the quilts!

[@jenniferjanson5933]

I love, love that you showed your long arm today! I am very appreciative, especially for how you load. I am a newbie at using my long arm, and I was very interested in how you load yours!! Thank you very much Donna!! ❤

[@juliemorrison4348]

Thanks Donna for such a great insight into your quilting process. All beautiful quilts. Very productive session for you.👏♥️🇦🇺

[@janettemitchell6864]

You make the most beautiful quilts

[@paulstilwell3435]

You are so entertaining…you really know your quilting! Love watching you work

[@towncountryhomesllc9806]

I loved this show. Such beautiful quilts and showing us the entire process of loading the quilts is sure to benefit many and helps explain the demands of the longarmer. God bless you, Matt, and the entire team with good health and protection.❤

[@MarthaCatMom2001]

Thank you for this wonderful virtual field trip showing how quilts are finished by a professional!

[@TheLadyLair]

What a wonderful video! It’s because of you I built an 1100 sq ft sewing studio I call my Lady Lair. I got my Gammill Statler last June and I love making quilts. Thank you for all you share and do for your followers!

[@kimmcvitty3580]

This was really interesting. Usually the videos jump from finished top to quilted quilt. I really enjoyed learning how the quilting machine gets set up and your/the machines calculations. One thing I have often wondered about, how do you know there will be enough thread on the spool, some of them are much less full than others when you are choosing which to use. Thank you.

[@jenephilippy8379]

Thank you showing multiple quilts, very helpful

[@The100jana]

Zelo poučen vpogled v pomemben del "lepotičenja" krpanke... ❤ Vsaka krpanka je zvezdna zgodba ... 🤩

[@jodypowell7169]

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look at this step of the process. When I drop off my quilt to the long armer, I never get to see how she loads it up. I enjoy seeing the math involved and getting a better understanding of some of those buttons on the computer screen. I've often wondered how you choose the size of the quilting pattern so that it's the right proportion for the quilt; that was interesting to see you do. Thanks to your videographer (son?) for giving us a close up of the machine at 17:15. I definitely would love a 30 minute recording of the machine doing the quilting to use as my white noise at bedtime!

[@robyncallander]

Thank you so much for showing this video. I was always interested to see how you attached it to your great big quilting machine. Once again Donna you have made it look so easy.. I love your choice of backing fabrics and bindings. Have a great day

[@kckc4833]

My first quilt i learned from you, the Dresden.

[@joyskibo856]

I really enjoyed watching the process of quilting the quilts. That machine is awesome.

[@saramccool4899]

I truly love this video. Thank you Donna ❤

[@katesterling8915]

Love this video. It is great to learn how the mind works in selecting backing, quilting pattern & binding. TY 👏🤩

[@fransak2723]

Lots of great tips here. Thanks.

[@chrissyluna8183]

Fern print is soo pretty.

[@annasein6798]

Absolutely loved this video since I’m really new at quilting with a new machine. Thank you thank you 😊 ❤

[@JC-hn7cm]

Donna, thank you for a most informative teaching video! It is so helpful to understand what is involved in the "long arm" process. Fascinating. Each of these quilts was beautiful.

[@margaretderen2082]

Whew - big job!!! Now that we’ve helped you finish all your UFO’s, I can go back to my piecing… 😄

[@gladystan1]

😂😂😂😂

[@yx6889]

Hi Donna, what a great video, thank you for showing us how the long arm works. I would love one later lol. Anyhow, is there a video for the neutral quilt that you quilted today? It's so pretty!

[@saminarafique3722]

This is the much awaited video on this channel, I always love to watch the quilting machine in action in the end and would always think how loading up on this machine is like? Thank you for this video.

[@lorraineleclerc5960]

I really enjoyed this video. I love “seeing” how your mind works and watching the whole thing come together. What wouldn’t I give to have your quilting machine, it’s mesmerizing to watch. Thank you for all the inspiration you give me. One day I would love to visit your store, maybe if I win the lottery!😊🇨🇦

[@jog2010]

[@sherryfaires7931]

Oh, Donna, your quilts are so beautiful! I love them all! Thank you for all the quilting info and tips. It really helps when trying to figure out the backing and binding. Sometimes my long armer will ask about the thread choice and quilting pattern. I like to have something in mind.

[@JanaMinNC]

Love the Date Night quilt. Great fabric choices.

[@rwaggs2623]

This is such a helpful video! It's a Masterclass in finishing a quilt top. Thank you, Donna!

Beautiful, beautiful quilts start to finish! ❤

[@marshawallace7522]

I really appreciated this video about how you select backings, thread color, quilting patterns and bindings and how they are loaded on the long-arm.

[@charmainerohde8575]

What a great video! I've always wondered about this part of the process. And what beautiful quilts. Thanks, Donna.

[@mathgeek7966]

Love your Showering Stars quilt! Fun to see your selection process in detail. Oh, and that fern batik is beautiful!

[@franlyman1]

Great video! I enjoy watching your videos! I learn so much and you are a great teacher! Thanks, Donna!!

[@jreese8284]

You forgot to mention checking your pile of sheets from Goodwill to find one that works and is the right size....just for those, like me, who don't want to invest so much in yardage for backing. After decades of using sheets, I can say I've had no failures as long as I don't try to stretch the length by opening the hems and using the whole piece. Where the hems are folded, that fold is weak and will likely open up, and that means mending the back after a bit. I am a scrappy quilter, and those white flat sheets are great for the white accents in scrappy quilts, too. Thanks for your videos, I learn a lot!

[@robertawalsh2995]

As my mother used to say "She's just one person!" I think we're lucky to have her doing this. Meanwhile, there are other YT channels who do the scrappy, found fabric, Goodwill thing. Do you watch TheCatBird Quilts?
