[@suebean3873]

So darn interesting, thank you. I know of you Rob but have not followed you a whole lot which I will now. Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@chuck4050]

Glad I found this site a lot of great info for this newbie!!

[@madelaine3209]

Wow! What a great video. Thank you.

[@sherriscreativemind]

Thank you so much Rob! I'm getting a bit braver... still not attempted FMQ as of yet. You make it look fun!

[@tencyross3156]

WOW! At first this motif looked so intimidating but you made it look so doable! Thank you! I might not be scared to try this now.

[@chantalida53]

Thank you SOOO much Rob for this very interesting vidéo and best wishes for a new sweet year for you and your family.

[@kristalburns3490]

Yay! You aren't perfect at this particular free motion quilting as I am.This makes me feel so much better.

[@demitra43]

Awesome video! So relaxing to watch.

[@AuntieEm1]

I am just starting out with quilting (I made my first 8 point star block today!!!) and I've been binging your videos for the past 2 days! You are awesome, and you are so great at explaining everything so that even a beginner can follow. Thanks for what you do! I appreciate you!

[@ManSewingVids]

Thanks for tuning in! Hope you have lots of fun free motion quilting!

[@moonlitedaze5688]

Still trying to learn this skill. Thank you for the tutorials

[@michelemartin8629]

Thank you for the free download. I will definitely use it. I need all the help I can get. Thankyou

[@agut3704]

I love your you tubes! However my order arrived from the missouri quilt company and items are missing. For those who order items from them, please be careful and check all items. Measure all the fabric should you order any.

[@ManSewingVids]

Hello! Thank you so much for tuning in! I am so sorry to hear about the issues with your order. Could you please email [e-mail] with your order information, and we will take a look at your order? Thank you!

[@janetcozens4623]

Hi there Rob yet another Free Download thank you so much and an Amazing tutorial

[@faitharrowood8001]

❤ that design!

[@helgy2009]

Thanks for the tut, it's very helpful. I will give this a try!

[@jeantaylor9440]

Hey, Rob! Love your videos! Say, do you have a video about managing a larger quilt while free motion quilting? How do you roll a big ol' bed quilt up and still manage the piece under the needle? And Why do you pin instead of using a spray baste product?

Binding quiting

[@ladyd54]

Great video. How about using Missouri Star Orange Peels for those petals?

[@bizealthtime9313]

I have been trying to machine quilt my queen size quilts, my machine is doing okay but moving /managing all that fabric and batting is tough. My shoulder get tired from just holding all that bulk, and then it becomes frustrating.

[@renealee]

Bize Althtime, I had that same problem until I "built" a quilt suspension system. I just used a garment rack ($15 at Walmart), 3 bungee cords and 3 large clamps. All total everything was a little under $30. I clamp the bulk of the queen into the clamps in front of me and it is so much lighter. Depending upon what you're quilting, you could be doing a lot of shifting the quilt on those clamps but it does help with managing the weight and helping my shoulders. I hope this helps.

[@PsoriasisChannel]

Great video..

[@amysmith5863]

Thanks for the video.....I have enjoyed your FMQ videos.....every time I watch I get encouraged to try .....I have a growing stack of quilt tops that really need to be turned into usable quilts! 😂 This design looks fairly simple.....although I like the circles....I probably would not do the fills....i think I have decided I don’t like quilts that are too busy with quilting.......for me less is more! ❤️

[@doreenwatson-read]

Maybe , pretty please could you do a video on how to stay comfy and not have the tension in your body. I'm tall with a bad lower back, I need glasses too , so it feels like my sewing machine days are behind me. I noticed you kept saying breath which I found helpful . Thanks in advance

[@PorcheGardener]

I get back pain when my table is too low, a higher table and a height adjustable office chair may help a lot

[@doreenwatson-read]

Porche Berry thanks that's a good tip 👍

[@hawkeyeannieful]

It helps if your not stressed out. Turn on soothing music, relaxing body while you’re sitting there. Take breaks.

[@lrnntbr]

Do what makes you comfortable with your own circumstances. I'm tall, too, with rods in my spine so I can't even bend, I have a tall table that I can stand over and pull an adjustable stool over when I get too sore. Every so often take some deep breaths, stretch your body, and assess where you're at in your project and figure out what you can do next based on how you feel.

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Doreen! Have you watched the Man Sewing tutorial on sync and rhythm? It may be helpful: bit.ly/fmq-w-jenny Rob likes to focus on his breathing and take lots of breaks, too!

[@lindamajor5116]

Fun video! What do you mark with and how do you remove the marks?

[@manny4445]

I noticed that some of the white batting was coming up in places on your quilt sample piece. Do they make dark colored batting for quilts? If not you should consider getting it ordered and sell it!! LOL I have never considered quilting on black, just the texture alone makes it an art piece. The ideas are spinning in my brain! Wonderful tutorial once again!

[@lrnntbr]

Hi Rob, the way you can pull your bobbin thread up through the bottom of the fabric when starting out, is that a feature of your specific machine or is it just a technique that could work on any machine? Thanks!

[@faitharrowood8001]

Lauren Taber It works on other machines, I've done it on my modern Brother and my antique Singer. Rob shows it more slowly and clearly in some of his other free motion skills and drills videos and he walks Jenny through the techinique in another.

[@lrnntbr]

Oh, awesome! Thank you so much!!

[@JEN2085707]

Have you heard that the 3 Dudes quilt shop is closing? Their last day is this Wednesday :( Since I learned about their shop from one of your tutorials, I wanted to make sure you knew the news. ~Jen in Phoenix

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Jen, This is such sad news. Thank you for letting us know.

[@jeannettevelasquez7350]

What sewing machine are you using, Babylock..........? Not a Jazz.

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Jeannette! Rob uses a Babylock Jane when filming. Thanks for tuning in!

[@juliac7010]

With something like this pattern fmq does it matter if you do all the arches first . Cut the thread and then do infill , or is the idea to only have one start and stop point?

[@GrrannyH1]

Sue Patten has a video that gives you a few more options kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5LLpmh4fNR5naM&feature=em-subs_digest. For the grids, you can learn to make your own from Debbie Brown in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2KZn5mbjrKXqrc. Start at 20.20.
