how have I not seen this epic tip???????n Thank you so much Tracy. Now off to get those pool noodles :)

[@janetschram3552]

This has been very interesting, awesome. Thank you. I've wanted to do this quilting but have been afraid to ruin a quilt. I guess you start small. 😊❤🎉

[@krissielongknife1479]

The rose quilt that frays is my favorite. I've made 3 of them and still don't have one . Lol, every time I make one, someone comes along and claims it😂. This quilt is how I found your channel. Thank you, you are a great teacher

[@Sara.Stitches]

Tracy ❤ Have you thought about getting with a quilt shop and do a teaching class on FMQ you have a great eye for it I applaud you ❤❤ FMQ is not as easy as everyone says Great video 🎊 🎉

There are no quilt shops around me🤷🏻‍♀️

[@georgiamccroy6527]

Thank you for taking the time to compile Tracy’s Greatest Hits. So many great tips in one place and a fantastic representation of your quilting journey. About the “suctioning” that happened with your beautiful crumb quilt… I have been spray basting for years and have found that 505 spray doesn’t have that issue as much when I leave a quilt for later. However I believe it is because we really try to use too much spray. I know 505 is spendier than other brands but I can get 3 to 3-1/2 queen size quilts out of a 13 oz can. I buy it from Amazon in 6-packs to get even better pricing.

[@beccachurch]

Beautiful!

[@carynwood9158]

My biggest learning moment with my personal fmq is while my machine is, well, a machine, my hands and my brain are human. I find it personally acceptable to quilt organically. I do my best, I plan, I fit the design to the area and just quilt. I also often give myself a goal of an area or even a bobbin or 2. That way, I dont get overwhelmed or get a headache from neck and shoulder issues! Never compare hand quilting to fmq to longarms. They are different arts.

[@cyn4rest]

Love LOVE every single bit of this video! Love how you put it together and totally appreciate you sharing it! Major teaching vehicle, that’s for sure. Now I wanna run to my machine and sew! Sew inspirational. Thank you!

[@auntielhandmade2099]

Beautiful progression of your work

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Tracy, a joining foot would have helped with joining those two blocks. It's useful, too, for batting. Your quilting choices were lovely. And that quilt is divine.

[@susanmei9980]

What is a joining foot? I’ve never heard of that.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

@@susanmei9980 It's also a stitch in the ditch or edge stitch foot. The metal rudder and needle position dictate which utility it provides.

[@susanmei9980]

@@notesfromleisa-land Thank you. I never knew that food was good for joining! I’ll have to experiment with it! 😃

[@notesfromleisa-land]

@@susanmei9980 it's an MVP foot!

[@ninadukette3340]

​@@notesfromleisa-land Usually you cannot do zigzag with a stitch in the ditch foot. But I guess that depends on the manufacturer. I am referring to Babylock. My first thought was to use the edge joining foot.

[@debbiedobbins6785]

Your roses / leaves Miss Tracy are phenomenal. So fun to watch this video. And that cathedral window quilt is still my favorite you’ve ever done. What a masterpiece. Thanks for taking the time to put all these clips into one video. I know that had to take some serious time. 😊 enjoy your weekend. 🤗🤗

[@TheSewingChannel]

I love the Cathedral Window Quilt too! I saw a vintage version of it in an antique shop years ago prior to ever starting a quilt. I so wish I would have bought it when I saw it but I had no idea what I was even looking at. I just knew I wanted to make one from the very beginning of my quilt journey❤

[@annolsen8276]

Great video Tracy, love seeing all these memories. I loved doing the Scrapberry challenge, it was fun.

I will be keeping your tutorial in my mind and have a go at quilting on this new journey in my life. ❤

Well I'd have to say. I honestly never paid attention to whether batting had a wrong or right side 😂. I just put it down and their we go lol. I have been quilting for years and I am today years old when I found this out. I was never thought that about batting. Thank you and now I know 😂😂

[@theclosetquilterelliemiria198]

I LOVE the pool noodle method So glad you show this !

[@claudiawarren6053]

What a great video! It was fun going back over the tutorials you have offered. I think my favorites are the rose Fray quilt and your color wheel quilt. I love them all though Tracy!

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

Tracy you have done so much to help me accept my FMQ and continue to improve. I was so discouraged at first. And Long arming is just not in the budget. I have no one close and in Canada the postage costs on top make the whole thing impossible. I thought I was consigned to crosshatching forever. I have a crooked right arm from a broken arm that did not heal properly, so I can only manage an hour a day as the pain gets up there. I cannot do minky, but have used Fireside on occasion and find it easier to get through the machine and almost as soft and very little lint. It is 60 inch wide so very baby quilt friendly. But it is still a work out on my arm. Last week I did a 20 by 20 wall hanging for the first time in a year, and that is where I could see how much I have improved and how much more confidence I had when I wasn't spending 50% of my attention on managing the beast. Thanks for everything!

[@rhondahallet8413]

The Cathedral Windows quilt is breathtaking!y beautiful. If I get enough courage, I might try one!

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

[@juliaboster829]

Thank you for the encouragement ❤

[@MarianneSmith62]

This is a very helpful video. I admire patient people who can stay focused as much at the end as they were at the beginning. I am always so determined at the beginning of quilting, and then later into it, I start improvising. I'll write words, I'll try new techniques, and often I get smaller and smaller as in the end, I just like circles and hearts and awkward Cs . I almost fast forwarded through your pool noodle part, because I had tried that and hated it. Plus then I had to keep those noodles somewhere....But your way is different from how I had tried it. I might give it another shot, Maybe on something smaller. You're a nice lady, very real and I feel a little bond here. Keep showing me more, especially the parts where things go wrong. Thank you 🥰

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for the kind feedback Marianne♥️

[@sharonframpton1887]

Hi Tracy! Your granddaughter is such a little doll! I really like the dense artistic quilting you do! Oh my word! That gorgeous cathedral window quilt! Thank you so much for showing how you made it! That was a labor of love I'm sure! It must have taken months to make!

You are sooo talented. Your quilts are lovely. Love the Minnie Mouse quilt. Josephine is beautiful. Spending time with grandchildren is wonderful. Happy 4th of July weekend. Keep up the beautiful quilts. Thank you for sharing.

[@theresaskrabanek512]

Hmmm I’ve always been taught to lay my batting with the bumpy/pimply side down & the smoother/dimply side up! This is because the manufacturers of batting use their machine needles to needle punch therefore making the dimples from when the needles go in the batting top & making the bumps/pimples on the bottom side. By letting your quilting needle go into the same direction as the manufacturer’s needles gives less resistance & therefore less bearding.

[@TheSewingChannel]

The resistance tip in the video is best way to know 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jeanettebenton]

It is awesome

[@annamariaworrall]

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

I used June Tailor basting spray once. It was horrible. It gummed my needle up so bad. My quilt sandwich still moved and I had a ton of wrinkles. I unpicked it and now I only use 505 basting spray. I tried the pool noodle and, for me, it didn't work.

[@jodybartilson7980]

Also I struggle with keeping it even as I'm rolling it up. Do you have any tricks to help with that?

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

So, I made a quilt top to cover my bed! It’s a beast! 108x108. I would like to quilt it with a walking foot straight lines. I just don’t know how I can fit half the quilt in the throat of the machine. Any suggestions? Maybe I’ll have to tie it. Getting it quilted professionally isn’t something I can consider at the moment!

[@TheSewingChannel]

You can try rolling it up on one side closest to the throat. Possibly try turning your machine on it's side and sit on the end of it.....✅

[@lindadalton2668]

Doesn’t the tight dense quilting make your beautiful quilt hard and stiff instead of soft and lovable ?.

[@martibrown2993]

I have tried and tried, didn't go so well, I gave up, it's not worth ruining a quilt after I have spent so much time making it.

[@seco4232]

Hi Tracy. I have some quilted placemats that are perfectly good on the inside, but the edges re worn. Any thoughts on what you can do with already quilted pieces of fabric?

[@TheSewingChannel]

You can always re bind them🤷🏻‍♀️

[@NanaKathy47]

I'm really curious as to why you do so much quilting in such a small area. Seriously, I don't understand. The first time I took a quilt to a long armer, she did tight quilting like this. (Mainly, this was because I didn't know what to expect from someone else quilting a project of mine, and didn't know what questions to ask in advance, like seeing a sample of her work.) It came out as stiff as the furniture mats in the back of a U-Haul. It was difficult to even fold it up to ship. I do only the amount of quilting required by the batting. If it says 8", I will do something around 6 1/2-8". Is this just your preference or is there some reason for doing tight quilting that I don't know?

[@michellefrazier7499]

I suggest you read what you wrote and maybe edit it, I am sure you didn’t mean it to come out the way it reads.

[@NanaKathy47]

@@michellefrazier7499 I truly didn't mean to sound offensive, if that is the way it sounds to you. I really want to know if there is a reason for doing tight, all over quilting and if I should be doing my quilts differently than I do them now. I am self-taught and never had an chance to take a class, so I have no one around to ask. If I am doing it wrong, I would like to know so I can change my projects and do it correctly.

[@annolsen8276]

@nanakathy47 there are no rules. If you use larger quilting because you don't like the tight, stiff quilting, that is fine. A lot depends on how you want the quilt to feel when completed. You are doing it right for you.

[@michellefrazier7499]

@@NanaKathy47 it’s just a preference I think. It will be stiffer if quilted more dense initially but I find over time it works itself out. I have done both and no one has ever complained. Plus denser quilting with free motion is way more forgiving I find. But that’s just my opinion. I am sure you meant well.

[@NanaKathy47]

@@michellefrazier7499 Thank you. The one quilt that was handed down in my family was thick, puffy, and loosely quilted. Maybe that is why tight quilting is unusual for me because that quilt was my only example as a kid.
