Machine Quilting on Home Machine & Longarm - Checkerboard Stencil!

leahday.com/blogs/free/brick-... See how I quilted the Brick Quilt Pattern using the Checkerboard Paper Quilting Stencil. This technique is so easy, I didn't need to explain it in the video. I let my home machine and longarm machine do the talking for me.

That baby is precious Leah!! I love this paper idea for quilting! It opens up soooo many options!

[@LeahDay]

She is our blessing! Yes, this is such a fun technique and it's great for all skill levels of quilters wanting to get quilts finished quickly!

[@salliecook7528]

Betty is the real star!!!! I like both types of videos. Thanks.

[@LeahDay]

She really is! She loves ripping the paper away with me, and then playing in all the scraps. It certainly helps make paper ripping fun and giggly!

[@tprice6784]

I love the new video no chatter, the sound of the machine prompts me to go sew with you. I love the sound of both machines, its very relaxing. Good Job Leah!

[@LeahDay]

Thank you so much!

[@Paul_Sheila]

I love all your videos, but this "silent" one is a nice change. I've already bought a stencil and am looking forward to using it on a quilt and my mid-arm. BTW Betty is growing so fast!!

[@LeahDay]

It's always fun to mix things up. I hope you're having fun with your paper quilting stencil!

[@grams5580461]

I love your little helper. She is precious. I ordered the hearts to try. Looks pretty easy.

[@LeahDay]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!

[@kellielegrand5466]

Great video! I really like your videos! I have learn so much from you on line for free! 😀Thank you!

[@LeahDay]

You are so welcome!

[@maryt2887]

Perfect! As others have said, very soothing and clear to follow. May I borrow Betty? Alas, my grandchildren are too old to find joy in tearing paper.

[@LeahDay]

Hahahaha! You may be surprised. I have gotten James (now 17) to help me a rip paper away. It's oddly sensory satisfying!

[@GM-sv7iw]

I love your new “no chatter” video….glad you are going to try this technique….and little Betty is adorable…getting so big and such a little helper…❤

[@LeahDay]

I’m so glad you like it! I think for simple techniques, this will work just fine!

[@doreensherk287]

I always like your videos, I have been following you for a very long time, even before you had your little girl and I think your son was very young. Oh I loved it when Betty was on floor tearing the papers. So sweet.

[@LeahDay]

Thank you for sharing this! Yes, I started making videos when James was Betty’s age now. He’s 17 now!

[@rmn286]

Love love it

[@LeahDay]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@grannybirdbirdsong1274]

Betty is SOOOO cute and getting so big! I like the less-chatter videos but don't mind a little explanation when warranted.

[@LeahDay]

Thank you for sharing! It’s fun to play around with new filming styles. I’m glad you enjoyed this.

[@Handbasketification]

well done. Betty is so pretty

[@LeahDay]

She is absolutely gorgeous! Such a blessing!

[@joannedrogue9432]

Wat hing younlong ago is how I hot interested in Quilting, so thank you

[@leticiagonzalez711]

Betty is so big. She is adorable.

[@LeahDay]

She is! She is an absolute delight, just like her big bro!

[@marenrenz9818]

did you use the ruler base below? Lovely idea.

[@LeahDay]

It's not essential. Because I leave my ruler base on all the time, I don't think about it, but I wasn't really supporting the stencil on the base if that makes sense. My right hand is really just keeping the paper in place and adding a little resistance so I have more control over the longarm. A frame weight positioned to the back could also do the same thing.

[@tatyana.mikina]

Does, the stitch size selection on a little rebel define the stitch size for an FMQ? I am thinking of Bernina stitch regulator, which allows to select the number of stitches per inch.

[@tatyana.mikina]

I don't have room space for Q16, rebel could be a good option. I love the ruler work.

[@LeahDay]

When using the "Q" stitch regulator selection, yes, you can lower the stitch length to make bigger stitches, but you probably won't want to. I found having the automatic "Q" settings worked best. But generally I don't end up using the stitch regulator on this machine. I'm too used to using my foot pedal so that's what I still tend to do with the Little Rebel.

[@booomanchu]

I see that you offer these patterns as individual selection. Do you have, or plan to sell all patterns in a package? They are al great designs. Thank you for this video.

[@LeahDay]

I’m actually working on a collection of spring designs that will include multiple designs and shapes to fit specific spaces in your quilt as well as edge to edge designs like this Checkerboard stencil. Coming soon!
