[@twinkhickey9616]

This is what the internet should be about, sharing and gentle and you will learn too as an extra bonus, thank you lovely lady

[@meandmilo7675]

When she said "my shoulders really hurt" 🥺I wish I could hop through the screen and help😫 you're a Rockstar gma and very appreciated thank you for teaching so many others♡

[@donnajbosenbark8511]

Amazing, this is the exact sewing machine I use. 1938 Singer. I inherited it 40+ years ago. I clean and oil it myself. Yes, with this machine you can sew over pins. Elaine Lockett is a super quilter. You make it appear so easy. Thanks for sharing all those tips. We never stop learning. I have been making quilts for at least 50 years now. Always learning.

[@houseonthehill7625]

I love, love, love this video. I find it so soothing to watch her work and listen to her instructions. Thank you!! I come back every so often just to watch her at work again.

[@thelovelywoman9955]

I wish I had a grandmother like her!😍

[@susankraft77]

I'm 64 years old and have always regretted that I wasn't interested in quilting when my grandmother could have taught me. I really thought I had waited too late in life to learn. Watching you make this amazing quilt reassures me that I can still learn to do this. Thanks. Blessings!!!!! 💜

[@genevievedarrett3163]

Awsome ..she got that down to a T ..I bet she has made hundreds of people HAPPY !! God Love her ..Thank you

[@dawnscully8649]

[@cindyblue4626]

Fearless sewing over the pins! I love her!

[@barbarastruhs3733]

It's 2023 and the first time I've seen this particular video. You are amazing and did an excellent job explaining everything. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I loved the way your sewing machine just powered right over those pins! I loved the fabric you used. Blessings!

[@melodijohnston1584]

This is the way I was taught to tie quilts 50 years ago, good for you teaching this!

[@MsCatiam]

I'm a beginner who has been OVERWHELMED (and CONFUSED) with instructions. I learned more in these 22 minutes (and learned it WELL) than I have in weeks! THANK YOU!!!

[@lizryan8506]

+MsCatiam Me too! I've been reading and researching for 2 months and voila!!! Clear and I know I can do this.

[@karenharris9643]

[@viansu2024]

Absolutely awesome! I’m 70 years young & this is the first time I’ve watched someone do a quilt. I’m amazed, you’ve given me so much hope, I can do it too!

[@jenniferfarsh675]

[@MattandGab1]

I couldn't stop watching. Felt like my own grandmother was teaching me this. Learned some new tricks from you and warmed my heart. :-) thank you!

[@TheMDelima]

You are just so sweet! Make me think of my loving grandma who taught me to knit and embroider. I was a bit young to quilt, but I remember her having hand tied quilts too ❤️❤️

[@m.a.trenary7293]

I have asked several people about tie quilting and this wonderful Lady explained it better than anyone else I have watched. This is December 5, 2018

[@tracybrewer5844]

I was totally mesmerized watching you make this beautiful quilt. That frame is amazing. You have just made some child very happy. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@pekaspi1]

I love the way she completed the quilts and her very informative instructions.

[@itsjustrenee1320]

My grandmother called this tacking a quilt. I don't know why. I learned a super helpful tip on threading my tapestey needle for my crochet. I never knew there waa a deep side to the needle and her little tape trick will save me a lot of grief. I am soon to tie my first tied quilt and I feel this video is all I need. Thank you so very, very much and thank her for me please. God bless.

[@kevinandangelal7172]

There's a right and a wrong side to a needle? I had no idea and I've been sewing since I was 3! What a wonderful teacher!!

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

How did I miss this video until now? It is outstanding! Thank you very much for posting this.

[@anurse63935]

My 58 year old back is breaking, watching her 78 year old back in motion. Bless your heart, beautiful video

[@eyama8869]

Thank you Mrs. Lockett. You are a very good teacher. You've helped me with my decision on how to finish my Hawaiian fabric quilt. Aloha and mahalo nui loa from Hawaii.

[@jenihansen7201]

Just found this channel. Lovely Lady. Thank you for teaching us.

[@cindymiller5696]

I think this is the most awesome and inspiring video I have yet to watch. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@katherineott7105]

I always thought quilting was some very difficult project so I never tried one. After watching your video I will be making my 1st quilt at 53 years old. I love how thoroughly you described what you were doing and why. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and giving us tips. You're very kind lady.

[@peggywoodward2443]

I never had the chance to see how my grandmother (1902-1974) made her beautiful quilts. But now I've started trying to continue her legacy. Thank you for your patient and loving instruction.

[@Carylanne927]

I'm so very glad I found this tutorial tonight. It is a great video for every person who wants to know the proper way of tying a quilt. I imagine you'e done hundreds of these and it shows that you have the true love of gifting the quilts. TY for all you teach.

[@kathyjohnson1911]

Great tutorial without the usual unnecessary fluff! Thank you 😊

[@lizryan8506]

Fantastic quilter. I learned so much. Thank you Ms. Elaine and God Bless you for helping me do my first quilt.

[@kimberlyvandenberg844]

Thank you so much! My mother had intended to make some quilts for us kids and to donate, but she passed away before she got the chance. Now I can finish what she started.

[@wendykrzak4627]

God bless you for making this video! Beautiful quilt.

[@monarawles5832]

this is so very helpful, with wonderful techniques and tips- thank you so much! My grandmother was a quilter but lived too far away for me to learn from her...and watching this made me feel her presence, and made me cry- she felt so close. You are an inspiration! Can't wait to use this!

[@audreywilt5608]

Great video, lovely lady, she explains everything perfectly.

[@pameladonkin1855]

I never knew what tying a quilt meant, so thank you for your very clear and good demonstration.

[@The63mamaduke]

this was awesome this is how my grandmother and great aunt use to make quilts.

[@MrsGAli67]

Just loved watching her work! I am not a quilter but after watching her make one I now really want to try!!!😃

[@sms4925]

Excellent tutorial. Love the cut piece of paper for threading the yarn through the needle-genius!

[@smitawadher8046]

Labour of love! I am feeling inspired to quilt. The last time I used running stitch for tying. I will now use the square stitch like you.

[@Momo01851]

You are an amazing lady. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@beckyshirley6352]

Wow! A tie quilt on a frame! I had no idea. So inspirational. Thankful for the whole team who put this together. Such a lasting treasure.

[@kdl28]

I know this video has been up for a while, but I just found it. And it brought tears to my eyes to see someone making a quilt with the same technique and same kind of frame that my father built for my mother and grandmother. So many years ago but I remember it so clearly. They have all passed away now. I am so happy to see a memory from my childhood. Thank you.

[@heathcurry1845]

I agree this was SOOO much more straight forward than the other videos. I think it's a generational thing. Folks like my grandma and this young lady speak simply, and to the point. I really appreciate this immensely!! There is a lot of history in these techniques, it's as American as you get!

[@cynthiadeleon2735]

She makes it look soooo easy!! :) BEAUTIFUL blanket

[@W124phreak]

What a lovely lady ❤. I only wanted to see how to hand tie, but watched the whole thing. Thanks for sharing these traditional skills 🥰😘

[@W124phreak]

Yes! Bless her heart 🥺

[@learntocrochet1]

Wonderful sewing machine, it sews a steady seam with just a tug on the back of the fabric...and, she can sew right over those big yellow quilting pins. Talented lady, thank you so much for gifting us with your talent.

[@IMOO1896]

I LOVE the ways she edge irons with the edge of the table!

[@niruparanasinghe5351]

I've never seen this method of quilting before...I'm amazed! You explain so well... thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes to you all the way from Sri Lanka!

[@gigi2004k]

Me. Elaine you are adorable and an amazing quilter. I wish I had a grandmother in my life that would have taught me to quilt ,knit, sew, etc..but at least with your excellent tutorials I can learn now. I just wish I could spend hours with you in person, side by side learning. What a wonderful wealth of tradition you are. God bless you. I'm so happy that I've stumbled upon your videos! You've made my day...thank you

[@headron66]

This was an absolute pleasure to watch. As I tentatively dip my toe into quilting this lady has a lifetime under her belt. If you have to learn then learn from an experienced quilter like this lady. Thank you.

[@ashnkksmom2264]

I just hope that one day I will be able to quilt as fast and sure as you are.

[@bethanytaylor4325]

Absolutely a pleasure to watch! You have a wonderful gift in your knowledge of quilting. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@0JReynolds]

I totally enjoyed watching her work. Wish she was my Grandmother!! Thank you for teaching us how to make a quilt. Very easy steps to understand exactly what to do.

[@102166dhr]

Knowledge from experienced quilters and sewers is invaluable. I learned a few things today - thank you ma’am.

[@tobygolding1893]

Who the hell would give her a thumbs down? TROLLS.. she deserves thumbs up just for her age and looking healthy & good shape! i am starting my quilt ..not sure i will live that long, so i wanna get started now while i can still see :)

[@lesleyfarris4025]

Thank you so much and love from the UK.

[@IreneTauscher]

Absolutely enjoyed this video. I learned a lot and love her sweet way of teaching. I loved how she noticed little ones will put themselves to sleep twirling the ties. I remember that from my own childhood. Sweetest quilt tying video award!

[@Quiltlady9]

Thank you, wonderful tutorial. Preserving history!

[@adrianrobinson7426]

Excellent instructions easy to follow. Plan on making a quilt very soon. Thank for this video

[@UsterKoolageArt]

Thank you for clear directions in the way my Mom would have done a baby quilt. You are appreciated. 😊

[@unahumphreys3227]

All I can say is this is great . I agree with all the commits that i have read, especially the Blessing of being able to see and here her.

This is wonderful and now I will be able to use the fabric that I can't bear to cut up for patchwork. This lady is amazing an example to us all.

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

Bless your heart thank you sharing this with us all I just learned a trick with the table please 😇 keep the videos coming😇😍

[@joydalton4987]

Thank you, my late grandma used to make quilts this way and I always wondered how it was done. Thank you.

[@junkieee9964]

This is awesome. So much easier than how I’ve done it.

[@joycejudd5109]

Miss Elaine: thank you so much for this video. I've not seen this type of frame before...and the second row of edge stitching really makes a machined edge more attractive.

[@Cherjer113]

Love the threading tip

[@twoeachitsown]

I just love this video. It took me back to my childhood when I used to see quilts tied off like this. I've learned so much just by watching and I Thank you.

[@cheriboomer4031]

I love the template idea WOW . Great tutorial Thank You Elaine Lockett

[@dorrenewhite9989]

I learned a great deal from this video. Thank you .

[@craftyteacher6281]

Thank you for this. I was looking for a traditional approach to hand tying and appreciate the step by step instructions. I’m going to slightly change the design of the quilt I am working on to take your approach instead of binding. Thank you again.

[@belindaortega2078]

Thank you for sharing. I have been looking for a tutorial like this for a while. Glad I finally found one.

[@bwallace1205]

So glad you did this! My grandma made me one as a child and she never showed me how.

[@annebarrow7900]

I have been looking for this tied quilt process for years. Thank you so very much!

[@YvoDLuke]

Thank you for sharing your quilting skills with the rest of us here on KZbin. You made it look so easy and quite enjoyable. I will use your video for referencing when I start making my quilt in a few days. Again, Thank you for passing on your skills. God Bless you and yours.

[@wondertuckyyankee]

I loved the video. I'm just getting started learning to quilt and this will get me going in the right direction. Thanks!

[@maricelamclean2516]

Thank you for sharing, I learned a couple of new tricks.

[@brendanorton5929]

Oh how I just loved listening to you & watching you! You remind me of my Grandma! :) I can remember quilting with her just like this! I love your technique, your simple instructions & I could watch you all day long sweetie ❤️

[@subcribers1]

Love that you are still sewing on your first/old favorite machine. Usually see machines I could never afford to own. Mine is a Pfaff 1471 I bought used in the early 90's. It was a tremendous splurge then.

[@WendyCful]

Just lovely! I enjoyed the invitation into Elaine’s pretty living room 💕

[@inestavelin7854]

Never have seen this way of quilting before. Thanks for the whole new idea.May you have more quilts to show us.

[@lucindacindymartin6012]

I am new to quilting and so appreciate the traditional technique - I had no idea. How wonderful that she speaks about how her mother used church pews for the frame. Thank you for taking the time to create such a professional video and share to the public ... blessed be

[@Vickie290]

Thank you f helping me. You're a pleasure to watch and it's like my Grandma's teaching me.
