Great tutorial, Loretta! It really makes me want to master this so I must keep practicing and not feel intimidated. I liked your comment about how quilting needs to be FUN or you'll find something else!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Absolutely Ginny! You should enjoy your quilting, not fight with it

[@Joyti1517]

Thank you, this tutorial isgreat

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped!

[@wowclassic1]

If you want to do an allover design with a ruler on your quilt, where do you start? Can you start on an end or do you have to start in the middle and go out toward the edges?

[@jkquiltsknits]

This is fantastic!! Really would like to see a ruler sole for the BSR. 😺 Would love to know how to keep stitch length consistent with foot 72.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Julie, when you're working with Rulers, you have to go a lot slower, which does help to keep the stitches a bit smaller and consistent. However, if that is a product you're interested in having made available - send Bernina an email. If enough people request it, they may make it!

[@janislong279]

By low bar do you mean low shank feet?

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Yes

[@jeanfeeley2802]

What thread do you normally use when doing ruler work on your bernina

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

We usually use a cotton quilting thread. We carry Mettler Silk Finish Cotton in our store. www.etsy.com/listing/921275333/100-cotton-thread-large-spool-547-yards?click_key=448b50268c3e3e64b23bf466c3098c135cf139cb%3A921275333&click_sum=728084a6&ga_search_query=cotton%2Bthread&ref=shop_items_search_78

[@LindaEddmenson]

What size needle is used?

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

75/11 Quilting Needle

[@keressabeverage2622]

Would you please tell me the name of the first quilt you are demonstrating on? Thank you, I love it!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

The blue and green quilt with the white centers is called "Float on", it's an Accuquilt quilt.

[@keressabeverage2622]

@@HayesSewingMachineCo thx for your reply, one more question tho, is there a link to share of putting this quilt together!? Thx again!

[@bigchrisrogers]

Thank you for this. Not sure you should call your watchers 'Ladies'. I can't be the only Gentleman watching these. 🙂

[@MOHillbilly513]

FYI Men also quilt and not just ladies as you stated
