Speed-Quilting and Strip-Piecing on a Longarm Machine - Watch & Learn

[@lauraf3611]

Great tutorial ladies, thankyou you just took hours off my projects!!

[@vickiealldrin9623]

Just upgraded to an Amara from my 15 yr old 16....can't wait to try this....loving the channel locks :)

[@sandycanterberry9941]

I've been sewing these Minky strip quilts and was wondering if I could do on my longarm. Searched and found this. What a Game Changer!! Less time and finger pokes from pins. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@esperansaloughran693]

I am definitely inspired!

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

I would love if you had shown how to do the applique flowers. I have used this technique for 2 fast strip quilts and its great. My best advice is to coordinate your fabric and organize a pattern ahead of time.

[@esperansaloughran693]

Excellent video and ideas! Great job guys!

[@rebeccasorensen7925]

Love this. Thanks

I have APQS 26 inch throatspace. this us a great idea for strip quilting. just a tip because we all need to learn from each other. when you stitch put your hand on the fabric after the needle not before. it won't bunch when you do that. thanks for the video.

This has been the best yet. I just spent hours sewing strips to make a WOF by 8 foot long quilted ' soft door' for opening that needs a door but no room. I have the electronic channel lock and used it for the quilting but never thought to sew the strips on the frame. Also, your tip about making the line of stitch at top to use as guide to line up quilt for first stitching is brilliant. No more quilts a little wonky. Thank you.

Fun! I use a portable cordless iron to press the seam if I’m using cotton.

[@candacefife6763]

Going to try one. Thanks again for the great video.

[@jenniekistler-nixon4376]

I had watched a similar video before and last night actually dreamed about making a Minky quilt this way. and here you are doing one. Thank you very much for these great tips.

[@HandiQuilter]

You are so welcome!

[@charlenemontgomery2840]

Great ideas! Love the creative split screen method to shoot the video while also social distancing.

[@annmersman3257]

What a great technique. when I initially looked at the title, I wasn't going to watch, but glad I did.....can't wait to make my first strip pieced quilt.... what a great way to practice on the longarm and create a useful quilt!....Thanks!!

[@hollyd43942]

Hopefully retiring in a year and I was thinking about gifting myself a longarm. Wasn't sure I could justify the expense. These wonderful ideas just sealed the deal! Thanks for the inspiration:)

[@trishwinstead28]

This was fun and helpful. I do not have access to a long arm but I could see adapting the technique to a home machine for small quilts, especially baby quilts. I also love the quilt with the different fibers. That was great to show in this video. Perfect. Thanks.

[@cathymontowski1263]

Easy Peasy projects. Thank you

[@kayleenrich5411]

I just set up the moxie and I’m so excited to start quilting up some fun fun things I’ve watched more videos than I can number! I’m new at this but I’m ready!!!

[@trishwinstead28]

That is so exciting. Isn't it great that we can absorb all this information in preparation for doing the various steps. Also, just the creativity of the fabric selections is such fun to see. Enjoy your journey!

[@carmelitabradley3760]

I love this idea. But still cannot understand how you complete all the piecing and then come back and do the quilting. Would you do a video of when you get to the end and then come back to the top to do the quilting part? Thanks

[@susanmei9980]

I think you would just roll the quilt back up so you can start at the top and then go from there quilting each section back down to the bottom.

[@barbarakempen2482]

Can't wait for you to show me this I've always wanted to do a baby quilt with Micky and if I can do it on my long arm machine that's awesome!

[@HandiQuilter]

You can do it! We hope you'll show us what you make.

[@ritadavidson1129]

Am so enjoying this series. You work well together and make things look much easier than I find them to be for me. I quilt on the sweet sixteen, so really enjoy demos while your using both long arm and sit down. Thank you

[@sandan2358]

I like this idea for quick strip quilts!

[@cathymontowski1263]

You both made stripping look easy. On my list to do next. Thank you!

[@judithkois1892]

This strip piecing would be great for a backing!!! If you only had a bit of this and that, make a strip pieced backing!

[@trishwinstead28]

That is a great idea!

[@mindytaylor523]

Great ideas!! Thank you. Now if only I had time to try everything... lol.

[@reginaesch5656]

Love this! Would be nice if you do something while quilting that you show it and what it should look like. I’m thinking of the channel locks.

[@sharinsherri2558]

Love this!!! Just got the Moxie. This would be a great way to practice!!

[@ksmvav]

To eliminate a tie off on the right, could you fold over, finger press and then top stitch from right to left instead of coming all the way back left and starting again? You maybe would need to go a bit slower coming back. Just a thought.

[@susanmei9980]

Makes sense to me!

[@maryalmond1064]

I do strip quilts alot to practice on my long arm with! I donate them to Casa Kids! I don't have a channel lock on my machine! I'm sure there is a way to make it lock but not sure! I have heard to use clamps but not sure where or how on the machine

[@paulakiser4544]

Do you quilt the strips as you go or put it all together and then go back and quilt?

[@vanessataylor3961]

Did you put batting in the minky quilts?

[@daisyduck61]

what is a couhing foot

[@cathyphaneuf6287]

I made one on my longarm after watching your video but it won't let me post a pic. Fun.

[@debraries7931]

I love this but I get long eye lashes on the back side of my quilts. Mabe you could show how to get them out.

[@traceybrungard7735]

These are just brutally awkward to watch.
