Oh that crossed stitch is just what I've been looking for! I'm working on my first quilt after practicing and learning on smaller projects. I've been pondering how to quilt it and think this will be lovely. I'd not heard of Jen Kingwell before, thanks for introducing her to a new audiences!

My Great-Grandmother used to lap quilt and has done the cross-stitch method seen on here for one of her quilts. It’s an gorgeous, dad and easy method. I love that this is being shown on an tutorial as my grandmother is no longer here to show me these things and so I am trying to teach myself and it’s been a lot of hit and miss with the videos...people have their own way of doing things and some people aren’t very descriptive. Thank you die this helpful video. The quilt is gorgeous 🤩 the one in the background is beautiful too. 💜

Seriously! I don’t know how this even popped up lol I never would watch something on hand quilting! I tried it ten years ago and thought it was for the birds, but this seems so doable !!!! I never thought to try NOT in a frame or with a large needle and just doing slightly larger stitches! I wouldn’t call this big stitch but doable stitch lolol yes!

I like the idea of the tags for basting since as Jen stated, your needle won't get hung up in it. I have to try this.

I'm so glad I found you! I keep looking for quilts and keep finding machine quilts and I learned how to do this for my grandmother but it's been years. I want to make a quilt the way she did so we are doing the running stitch or the crosses if I'm feeling a little less inclined to do this forever

Thank you so much for this. I never hand quilted before but I was struggling with a lap quilt backing that I just could not get taut enough to machine quilt without puckering. When I saw the little cross stitch option in this video I knew that it would work well with my quilt pattern and design - and hand quilting is more forgiving so I don't have to worry about the puckering issue. It's going well. Thank you Jen!

Fantastic! I love how this looks, I can't find the right words to describe it, earthy, homespun, heirloom, bottom line it made me instantly feel like there was a spirit connected to the quilt vs a quilt totally done by machine. Which shocked me because I have always preferred the machine quilted look more. Thanks for showcasing this method and having this wonderful quilter on your show. I can't wait to give this a try.

Lovely video! I've recently taken up the technique with cross stitching, only I use fly stitches instead, so you get a little V. I plan to try cross stitches too. It's nice to see 12 wt demonstrated. I've been using perle #8, but wondering about the 12 wt as well.

Do you always start in the center of the quilt or does it matter where you start??? I am trying to teach myself how to do this. I have my quilt frame BUT still not quite sure on attaching my fabric's and batting, I know that backing fabric, batting and then the top. I have watched several tutorials but I have seen anything on how to center all the fabric.

Hi Barbara! I asked Jen for you and this is what she said, "I don't personally use spray baste for quilting but if you prefer this method of basting by all means go right ahead. Just spray lightly so as not to "clog" your needle." Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
