[@jeanruter5162]

You gals are awesome.

[@bethspeece2401]

thank yall so much. I am fairly new to longarm quilting and am struggling with a quilt that has massive negative space and the other blocks are embroidered...so didn't want to.do.edge to.edge and this gave me a lot to.think about

[@sewhapi2347]

I just found you Girls! Ya'll are flawless! Omgggg I love the setup on the wall! I have never had anyone quilt my quilts. I do mine on my home sewing machine. I do quilt as u go. Mine is sew different. You can't tell I pieced it. I love this video it's a perfect guide to understanding where to start. Just before finishing my blocks I get in that stuck mode I got to make this one stand out!!! Your video will be my reference.

Great tips on how to quilt! I stumbled onto your episode while ordering machine needles for some reason!:) I love the shower curtain idea - so smart and ironically I just took mine down, washed and now I'll use it as my practice sheet. Good thing I purchased another clear one to replace it. I've only been quilting with my Q'nique/hoop frame for about 2 years now. I absolutely love the new ideas for quilt designs, as I've cinnamon rolled most of the ones I've finished! LOL! Thank you Kim and Kristina for your awesome ideas! I am a new subscriber too!

We are so glad that you enjoyed the video!!

[@RanchGalQuilter]

Y'all have helped me soooooo much!

[@jodiequilts]

This is an excellent episode. I enjoyed it and think it will be helpful in my quilting skills and learning how to design. I like the shower curtain and preview paper idea. I agree saving the preview paper will help with remembering your designs while quilting. Thank you for this great episode.

[@theresawoodruff333]

Love videos like these with lots of good ideas! Thank you!!

[@QuiltyJill]

Thanks for the great video! There are a ton of great tips. Here's a thread tip. I write down the name and color of the quilting thread I used on my paper pattern. Sometimes, it comes in handy as a reference guide, or if down the road you see you missed a spot and want to fill it in.

[@HandiQuilter]

Great suggestion! Thanks for sharing!

[@laurelhimes7458]

Great episode ladies! I am now inspired to try a new technique on each and every quilt I load on my Amara. I finally quilted my Midnight Silhouette with LOTS of black negative space after holding on to it for 4 years, gaining confidence. Wish I would have seen this episode first, but it turned out great. Lots of good ideas here.

[@cindyvogel4775]

Love #4 Build on your skill level. Stitch comfortable designs but add something new or challenging. Your own or for a customer. Love your design enthusiasm! Thank you for another great video.

[@jewelthomas6123]

I like this idea too.

[@lorali1256]

Thank you ladies, I learned so much. I love Debbie Brown she was my longarm quilter for years.

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Hello from Trimble Missouri

[@donnastjules8157]

Great episode! Lots of good ideas. Love the shower curtain. I once mistook my sharpie for my iron off marking tool. You only do that once

[@sewhapi2347]

Ohhh Donna , I just did that testerday with a regular pen ..

[@suerevere]

Greetings from Houston

[@judistern2624]

thank you, learned some new things.

[@joannpenka9201]

Thank you for the information!

[@maryellenzajac5716]

Take pictures of your practice ideas and send them to your quilting friends-committee, have voting or crowd sourcing. Keep the pictures of your creative ideas for the next time you need an idea, it doesn’t take up physical space. You can also take a picture with your tablet and draw out possible designs, this helps you see the whole quilt and allows you to see negative space in a different way

[@Nannette555]

Love the brainstorming you both did. Although I've listened several times to what the plastic on the roll that you used, I couldn't understand what was said. Please share what the rolled plastic that you used to draw on is called. Thanks!

[@QuiltyJill]

They used a clear shower curtain. I purchased clear vinyl by the yard from Joann's (with a coupon, of course). You can purchase different thicknesses. Sometimes, I use the purple air erase marker to test out a design. If a design isn't too complicated, I'll also use the purple marker to mark my actual quilt as I go along. This way saves time, you don't have to bother "water erasing" the blue marker when you are finished.

[@HandiQuilter]

It is called Preview Paper.

[@timwillhitesr.5051]

I heard that Bamboo batting is more Flammable then cotton or wool

[@terrybonlast5435]

What is that quilt behind you called. Love it?

[@HandiQuilter]

There are three separate quilts that we designed just for teaching this class.

[@pamelaburch4484]

When you use sew fine as top thread on your longarm, what do you use in the bobbin. I have been trying to use sew fine on my gammill classic plus.

[@HandiQuilter]

I usually use Superior Threads prewound bobbins. They are a Bottomline 60 wt thread. You can use whatever thread you like though!!

[@kathyg9]

Do you have to launder quilts with wool batting differently?

[@HandiQuilter]

Refer to the batting instructions for laundering.

[@lizziedae91]

Is there any reason to use the preview paper rather than the shower curtain itself?

[@HandiQuilter]

The preview paper isn't as bulky if you are working in a smaller section.

[@cathycharron-folsom4504]

Wool shrinks if you wash quilt. Baby quilts and smaller quilts need cleaning more often

[@jennijones1383]

What Pro-stitcher settings (spi and speed) do you use with Monopoly thread? Any other tips for use with this thread?

[@HandiQuilter]

Just your regular SPI. I generally do about 12. Speed is up to you. If you get lots of breaking, you can slow down. If you have a hard time seeing to thread it, use a sharpie to color the end of the thread.

[@judywhitacre5541]

Is there a video on how to put it together after you choose your design, then what?

[@HandiQuilter]

There are several videos that go through the quilting process. Is there a step in particular that you are referring to?

[@mimivallone2449]

What is a ghost echo?

[@HandiQuilter]

It is quilting a shape from the quilt but usually in negative space. There is another video on ghost quilting.
