I have no idea what's going on, but it's 2am and I want to makw a quilt

[@apachette07]

3:47am here and same! Although I was lost at the threading of the needle, but still here!

[@louisaman5497]

Where doyou get that light

[@cerise333]

I love hand quilting is far more relaxing and very very nice after a while you get used to the movements and it's very unique, incredibly different from just using a machine.

[@recovercoachfavorite]

I think the light is a fabulous item, as well as her showing the hand quilting with the thimble that really makes a huge difference in saving time. Its a little small of those to comment negatively about these things here. How many of you go through the work of making a video and sharing things you know? She does have a business and quilting is her business! I appreciate all the tips and tricks and introductions of items that go along with making quilting a much quicker and enjoyable experience!

I tried quiltcrafts.com but couldn't get into site.Please put a link

[@anjumsiddiqi3033]

Thank you so much! This is the best video showing me how to hand quilt, the middle part of a big quilt and how to use thimble for small stitches.

[@karakramer7189]

knot is at 2:00 and rocking motion thing at 5:25 (just so I remember when I need to look again in 5 minutes LOL)

[@suzettetruesdell]

Nice video for those of us that don't have an in person mentor, I'm excited to try!

[@alindastar]

Thanks for the tip about the needle threader. I have never heard of this device before. Loved the tip about the rocking the needle to get small stitches I always wondered how quilters got such tiny stitches. I always thought they did them one stitch at a time that is why I never wanted to quilt. I am glad I watched your video.

[@SamiDolls]

I need a desk needle threader now! Can't believe I've never heard about it before.

[@hexabob57]

Same way my Grandma showed me how to tie a knot in thread years ago! Only other person I've seen tie a knot the same way

[@jacquelineayers3678]

Brilliant explanation - Thank you for sharing

[@spoiledpink7]

I never knew the trick of tying a knot with the needle!!! Thank you!!! I just found this video and I will be looking for more. I need to know if I do the binding first or the quilting. I'm slowly learning to hand quilt. I have made several with a machine and by birthing, not binding. Thanks!!

[@babylover0990]

This is a great demonstration video. I didn't really care about the light mostly because I have found my own way to light up my work, but I like that thimble, all the thimbles I have ever had were either too small or too big or I just simply did not like them, but this one looks like it would work for me.

[@kathycoomer5499]

Thank you so much for this video, I made a quilt for my granddaughter. I think it turned out great.

[@AbuelitaPaloma]

that is soo cool. I never knew you could knot like that

[@lavernwinters6856]

Lupe Ibarra my niece learned from one of the ladies in her congregation and she taught me to knot this way. Much nicer knots.

[@kaywilliams9938]

I have just started quilting and I thought this video was great.. I have watched a lot of videos and this is the best! I also liked the light and plan to get one. Thank you so much for the great tips!!!

[@elnorac]

Thanks so much for this wonderful video! I've read many explanations about the rocking quilting stitch but didn't get it until I saw this!

[@rondahartin1181]

OMG you are FABULOUS!! I have been a crocheter for most of my life, I was always partial to crocheting with thread and because of the tension involved holding it tight, my hands just can't do it anymore, and love the sitting and just me and the hook, so I thought hand quilting would be a nice thing to try. You give a wonderful class!

[@rogerjarmer9988]

i like the products--especially the light! Also understand the stitching / rocking method which is better than one stitch at a time.

[@sarahrecords2995]

These are the best instructions I found about this . Thank you!

[@w11granny72]

Great needle threader and thimble. Also love your light but I need a magnifier too.

[@kathybaker3116]

I ordered the thimble and needle threader, got it delivered yesterday. It’s the year 2023 “Let’s keep hand stitch quilting alive” 🤩

[@mombear518]

Great video. Love the needle threader! And glad about the thimble that you are using with longer fingernails. Can't use mine with nails.

[@hannahm3783]

I've needed that threader all my life lol thank you!

[@Lanier1982]

Thank you! Wonderful lesson on hand quilting.

[@richardzembower2579]

[@desertrains1333]

[@hudadr3937]

Thank you for the demonstration ! I live in France and I would like to buy the same thimble because I don't support using the full metalic thimble.

[@Tinkimoon]

[@janet00085]

[@bibble4135]

That machine threader is awesome!!!!!

[@lilianasmami]

Thank you so much! This is gonna help me a lot making my first quilt.

[@mutturajartscrafts2829]

Your gret chanell 👍

[@amandawilder7353]

a headlamp is less invasive or bothersome, no electrical cord and sit comfortably on your forehead, and can be found at Ross, TJmax, Wal-Mart, etc. For under $10, I've bought many headlamps at Ross for $4.99, my 9 kids are always finding uses for the lamps, form checking on the rabbitry late at night to walking in the dark to our vehicles and taking the garbage down to the roadside for morning pickup when we forgot to do it in the daylight.

[@rabrough2]

Aww someone else that raises rabbits AND quilts :) I have Holland Lops.

[@Butterflyjonesful]

Awesome video on hand quilting!

[@celiagtorres]

Thank you so much for all the tips. Please what is the needle size for handquilting.

[@kymberlypayne163]

You have very beautiful skin ❤️

[@mdscopel]

Thank you so much for your video. I am about to attempt my first handmade quilt for my new neice to come. Hopefully it will spark a new start for me. I'm getting really excited and can't wait to get started. Did you create the pattern of the quilt in this video or did you find it somewhere? It's really precious and would be great to aspire to. Also, do recommend any particular batting for baby quilts opposed to normal bedding quilts?

[@victoriaev]

DIANA!!!!!!!! So good to see you on KZbin!!! I was doing my weekly troll through YOuTube for any new videos on hand quilting. Everyone looking at this video you should know this is a pro!!! with some of the best advice on quilting. GREAT video!! Love the background quietly things on the wall. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you. P.S.! Love my pendant light; it is light and NO heat! P.S.S. You look fabulous! (By the way this is Victoria - up the road from you)

Thank you for explaining it clearly. How hard is it to pick the size of hand quilting? I try but it seems to have big stitch, but it is not so??? I don't get it. Please help me

[@trudirash5947]

Thanks for the info!

[@janiej1951]

Jean Marie, my earlier comment >>> needle goes thru all fabrics when doing the actual stitches. ONLY the top & batting when hiding the knot at the beginning & only the top when hiding knot when stopping. Sorry I didn't specify. Have fun!

[@francescaruffatti]

very interesting!!

[@djboulier2012]

I have been hand quilting for about 18 years, just trying to figure it out on my own. thanks for the advice! My quilts will look much better now! So, how do I order your wonderful light?

[@savethebottle]

The light hanging around your neck would help me so much. Where do I get one? Looked at a lot of sites, no luck. Local sewing machine stores haven't heard of it. Help me find one. Thank you for a lovely tutorial. Can't wait to quilt and make something special!

[@iroxyah]

How do you get the knot on the inside of the quilt?

[@janeinglish1980]

After you get the first set of stitches made, gently pull on the thread, say like if thread had gotten a tad tangled, but don't pull too hard. Hold thread sorta close to where the last stitch comes out and pull gently. Don't try pulling with the thread out at it's lengths end. Up close to have more control. Sometimes it may take a couple of tries. You will see the knot just pop into the quilt top. Or I've take my needle and sorta helped push the knot in while gently tugging on it. Make your knot like she showed and it's usually easy to pop right under the quilt top.

[@lavernwinters6856]

Does the thimble come in a small size? I have a hard time keeping most thimbles on my small fingers they tend to slip and fall off. I’ve not tried this kind.

[@Lilyflowers659]

Hello I’m in England, how can I purchase a lamp please? Thank you kindly Lillian

This seems more like an ad than a tutorial

[@sammyxsuicidexchaos]

ok so.. i get the stitch but how do u make the patterns? how do u sew the different fabrics on? like i dont get it.. whenever i try it doesnt look as neat as this

[@blondecat666]

Wow! I never thought there is a machine that puts the thread through the eye of the needle. Why would you use it? It takes so much time. I mean by hand is about 2 seconds.

[@LottieSue]

Four years later - how much is bulb now?

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

where can I get the threader?! I need one of those 👵
