Karlee Porter - Couching Demonstration

[@lisastroble4743]

I’m going to listen to you all day! Stress just rolls away when I do.❤

[@ToriLynnH]

Apparently I'm binge watching your whole channel! Thanks Alex Anderson.

[@primrose62]

So happy that I stumbled onto this video - such a cool technique !!

[@manuelashannon1369]

Fantastic. You’re wonderfully talented and generous to share.

[@maryannbrowne1481]

Love your vid of the couching. Saw you on 'The Quilt Show' with Alex and Ricky and had to see your website. Thanks for filling the time with creative stuff!!!....I love your music too!

[@claudiacampbell7276]

Hi Karlee, Haven't come close to mastering quilting but I like the idea of the plain fabric and making the quilting the entire focus. Love the variegated yarn, so much color, and the addition of the gold on the white quilt. Great technique. Thanks

[@jlynch877]

Love your demonstration! I finally got up the courage to try couching with some furry yarn and oh my gosh what super fun! I took your advice to go slow and keep the yarn loose.

[@redcheekfiber]

I love this demo! I would have never known how easy it can be on a sit down! Thanks a bunch!

[@karleeporter5085]

Ann, I am glad that you enjoyed it! I am quite the one woman production, so I hope that things looked alright and not too "homemade" haha

[@lvtskier]

Excellent video! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@MonaMoon80]

Hi Karlee - thank you for the very informative video. I appreciate how you demonstrated potential problems, how to prevent them, and how to fix them if/when they happen. Great job.

[@longarmsupplies]

Awesome, Karlee, love your sharing and you're such a great teacher!

[@maireadoshea7345]

Very clear demonstration, thank you 👏👏👏

[@joyfrench4102]

You are a great instructor. It's so helpful to see all the technical aspects involved and how to deal with little boo boos. I hope my machine will soon have a couching foot available.

[@MariaPerez-fh1ki]

Love this! I didn't know of the technique and now have to try it.

[@marygoroundquilts]

Love this. I’m new to couching and I learned some new things

[@donnalayman5047]

Great demo, thank you. Just bought the couching feet.

[@conniegriffin5929]

This video is wonderful! So inspirational, thank you for sharing!

[@sethumadhavi]

What can I say.. Beauriful. Good control of your hands moving the fabric. If I try that I'm sure I'll get it all twisted and tangled. Gr8 work.

[@joycegrossheim5364]

What fun. Will definitely give it a try. Thank you.

[@patogden856]

Thanks Karlee . Very inspiring xx Pat nz

[@leighann712]

Great demonstration! Thank you very much.

[@dandyquilter585]

Fantastic Video. Thank you. The sound was just right for me...

[@fatbirdquiltingstudio5338]

That was an absolutely awesome video Miss Karlee!! I ordered my couching foot for my sweet 16 now I am super excited to get it ")

[@dianneunderwood8456]

That was a great demonstration and most inspiring as I have never tried couching before. I do have a good supply of yarn odds & ends to make use of. And I am just waiting on delivery of a new sewing machine (after almost 40 years) that I can hardly wait to try out! thank you from Dianne (Parksville, BC)

Thank's Karlee Porter. I loved!

[@marianzwart4047]

Really beautiful work. Thank you for your video.

[@cc83jc85]

very old video, BUT very creative! Thanks for your ideas Karlee!

[@veenasennik307]

This is beautiful!!! Veena

[@VeriCheriLee]

Nice! Very Nice. Thanks for showing this. You're very talented.

[@karleeporter5085]

Thanks for watching Cheryl! You are so sweet! If you ever have any requests for videos, let me know. :)

[@oneidadeortiz5974]

Wonderful!!!

[@thefirestorm1]

I am looking in to a couching foot for my machine. thanks again, love the demo.

[@karleeporter5085]

I am glad you liked it! :) Thanks for the comment.

[@vanessaodomsellsmansions]

Thank you for the video. I want to try this. Happy Quilting.

[@deborahmerrill6020]

Oh now thats just sweet!

[@juanabeza4196]

Excelente maestra!..Gracias 👌

[@itsastitchup]

simply exquisite!

[@rachelatienza8388]

great video, you make it look so easy, now to see how much these feet cost!

[@karleeporter5085]

That is one purchased you will not regret!

[@keownsonscoffee9576]

Love this! Thank you. I have been looking for ways to make my own embroidery patches and such. Just gotta find the couching foot for my machine.

[@TheJAG1357]

Great video. Thank you

[@Pwest2036]

Beautiful, you are my hero.

[@karleeporter5085]

Awe peg! You are so sweet!

[@Edellweisgirl]

I love your work. Found what I want to do. Can I do couching on my new Janome s6? Used to do these designs on my pottery.Too old now

[@007trudig]

I think you are probably an artist in any media but this one is spectacular! Isn't there a thingamajig that would attach to your machine and hold the yarn out of your way ; you would not have to stop so often?

[@tetiesessoms1300]

Love it!

[@wendyaustin-rawlings9311]

Brilliant. So therapeutic to watch. I wish I could have seen some stitching in real-time but It's a fab enough explanation without it. Thank you

[@lyndarenfrow751]

This couching looks like fun to do. The black fabric your sewing on is it a finished quilt that hasn't been quilted yet with a pattern? Very well explained too. I also agree with your comment about your nails. Just be yourself. :)

[@karleeporter5085]

Sorry I just saw this comment. Yep! I am just quilting on regular black fabric (made into a quilt sandwich) and all the quilting comes from the couching as well. :)

[@debc8402]

WOW So cool thank you for sharing!!

[@Saucyakld]

Gorgeous, love it. Wonder if I could do that with my Pfaff domestic machine

[@stineke3021]

Love this‼️

[@helens7016]

Great video, Karlee, except for the loud music that is very distracting. So, I bought a Tiara II Babylock last week and the dealer said it is the exact same machine as the Sweet 16 and made by the same company. It looks exactly like the Sweet 16, but was quite a bit less in price. The couching foot set is also the same. I've been playing and cannot for the life of me get the yard to stay down in most places. The needle just seems to bypass it, and have switched to the other feet with multiple size yarns and still have the same problem, as well as sped up the stitches, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Hate to return the foot set, but if they don't work, no sense in having spent that $99 for nothing. Thanks!

[@helens7016]

Just had to let you know I've finally been able to do some awesome couching, although not as spectacular as yours! Turns out my machine had issues that have now been fixed with a new replacement machine! Oh, happy day! The couching feet were definitely worth the price...you can now find me in the yarn department. ;)

[@norwaysuem]

Awesome.

[@lauralearnne9868]

Hi Karlee, great delivery on a subject matter that I have not seen before. Just a suggestion, would it be possible to turn the music down or even off whilst you are talking? I found it very hard to concentrate with the information you were delivering as the music seemed to be competing for attention. In that way it is easier to pay full attention to you, the person delivering the lesson, rather than all the frills. However, despite this, your tutorial has made me want to research more into this sewing method.. Well Done!!

[@karleeporter5085]

Laura Learnne thanks for the insight. I will be more mindful with future videos :)

[@rosariomitchcooney8813]

Hi Karlee, I too also have to switch off, as music too loud, otherwise seem great video.

[@thefirestorm1]

i love the demo, never knew you could do that, i do mine all by hand, do you need a special needle for a regular machine.

[@karleeporter5085]

Hey there! Thanks for watching! One a regular machine, I think you would need a special foot. You can just use the same needle though. Or you can also do the couching style where you lay the yarn down and then do a zig zag stitch over the top of it.

[@lilhunter3653]

Is this a specialty couching foot? You mentioned crunching feet sizes, but this looks like a regular free motion foot. If it’s a speciality, where did you get it?

[@XuanHuongLuong]

Hi - is there a difference between your couching foot and a cording foot? I am looking for a similar couching foot for my Singer Futura, but don't see a match. Thanks a milllion!

[@karleeporter5085]

+XuanHuong Luong I have no idea. This foot is specific to a quilting machine. You will want to reach out to your machine manufacturer to see what foot options they have available.

[@nancylaporte8257]

Background music is too loud. Love your quilting!

[@evareyes3157]

Me gustó muchísimo Quisiera saber como se llama ese pisa costura Saludos desde México

[@living4himjoshayden]

This is Sew COOL!

[@teddydepompolo2104]

Love it...can you use ribbon thread?

[@karleeporter5085]

Teddy DePompolo you can try, but idk how good it would look unless you didn’t mind it twisting

[@sueholland6204]

On a regular sewing machine with a couching foot, is the presser foot up or down. Yours is moving so easily it's hard to imagine that the foot is down but then the pressure of the down foot on the fabric wouldn't allow it to move so easily, would it?

[@karleeporter5085]

Sue holland when using a domestic machine, it’s not that the hopping foot stays down, it’s that you lower the feed dogs, so that as the hopping foot bounces up and down, there is no pull in between bounces, just like on a longarm.

[@veenasennik307]

Hi Karlee, I am really having an issue with tension on my machine . I know sometime ago u had talked about it. Can u pls help. Veena

[@phillipaporter5067]

Great tutorial Karlee, I'm definitely going to be getting a couching foot for my Sweet 16. One question - your Sweet 16 sounds really quiet when it is working, in fact it sounds like it is purring. Mine sounds really noisy, so I was wondering if the noise from your machine has been muted for the video.

[@karleeporter5085]

I actually sped the video up during the quilting, so that would explain the purr. :) But overall my machine isn't super crazy loud. It could be something to get used to, or possibly have your local rep give you a second opinion :)

[@phillipaporter5067]

***** thanks Karlee, all is well with my machine now, the rep had a look at it and tightened up a few things, it is purring now :)

[@karleeporter5085]

Great! I am so glad to hear that! :)

[@simplyimpish1055]

Love your work! How many stitches per inch and % are you coughing at? Thanks 🤗

[@karleeporter5085]

Simply Impish about 14 stitches per inch and 30% speed

[@1page1pen35]

Very very beauty and smart

[@winningnumbers]

Do you have the stitch length to zero?

[@indiaindian304]

Stright stitch or zigzag stitch mam?

[@MsWanart]

WOW ! Dit is Beautiful ! Ilove it ! thank you !

[@karenmalouin4611]

Are you using a quilting sandwich or stabilizer on the back?

[@karleeporter5085]

Yep a quilt sandwich

[@marymccorison9301]

music is not loud turn down your volume. music is great for the background. love the video!

[@NasrinAhady]

Thank you, which size needle you used ?

[@karleeporter5085]

nasrin ahady 18

[@ОльгаПригоркина]

Очень красиво!вы молодец.тоже хочу так попробовать.не понимаю что вы рассказываете,только визуально понятно.не знаю языка(((

[@skipclaiborne319]

Video n info was great. Music not so much. I look forward to other videos

[@barbarabarnett8228]

A Wonderful video . The couching looks great with the variegated wool. I also wasn't happy with the music in the background. Can you consider that, as it is hard to hear you.

[@dgbclub7]

maybe you won's read this but as with all of the video's on the topic.....what about the presser foot tension and feed dogs?.....much to little and is it like darning?

[@marketstreetquilts]

You are great, but ditch the music😊

[@Dragon-di1zg]

Great video, but please, please either lose the music or turn it down. It drowns your voice which is a shame

[@karleeporter5085]

Lesley Matthewson sorry to hear that. Too late now to edit the video. But I’ll be more mindful of it in future videos.

[@leskoeb]

I would have loved to see and listen to the information. However I had to turn it off because of the music. For those of us that are older the backround noise negates anything you have to say. Please try it again with out the music.

[@catheriner5187]

I wish the music was absent

[@juneworth9208]

Very good but had to give up as the noise in background very distracting.its realty not necessary, good luck june

[@elainemartin5784]

Please, please, pleased get rid of that APPALLING music. In the end the beautiful work you did was totally lost due that horrible noise. You really don't need it.

[@elonanamor2006]

Your a great quilter, but please do something with the fingernails. They are so distracting!

[@karleeporter5085]

Thanks for the compliment and the input. While I do care about my general appearance I care much more about the content of my video as well as portraying myself as who I really am. And sometimes I don't have perfect fingernails and that's alright. ;) Thanks again for watching!
