Helen you are a great teacher and extremely inspirational. Thankyou from Northern Ireland.

[@HandiQuilter]

Wow, thank you!

[@lsalmon907]

AWESOME quilting machine! Loving it!

[@marystribling3104]

Beautiful work 😍!! Thank you 😊.

[@tulip1944]

Oh, no. Not the last one! You are an inspiration and I LOVE watching how you create/quilt. Because I also have a Sweet Sixteen, your videos, tips, and explanations are invaluable to me. Thanks, Helen. Let's do more!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Stay tuned for 2020

[@nannalindy1219]

Thank goodness!! I have a sweetie too and i learn so much from you.:)

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Thank you. For more Education & Inspiration, i have many online classes. have a look at helengodden.com

[@cynthiaanderson4335]

Absolutely amazed by your beautiful quilting techniques!

[@sharonumphred556]

I loved watching you quilt on your Sweet Sixteen. Your quilting is stunning. You make it look so easy. While have tried many times to quilt at a sit down machine which resulted in a lot of neck pain I am able to use my new Amara with no problem. And everything I just learned watching you transfers so easily to a midarm machine. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@cindyf181]

Excellent tip about the colored sharpie. Great work on the kangaroo !

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Yep I use Sharpies a lot.

[@michelelewis8808]

Thank you! Wonderful tutorial. I like the way you do not talk the whole time so we can concentrate on your quilting. Fantastic:-)

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

It can be a challenge to keep me quiet.

[@108mle]

What in the world?!?? I have just started FMQ I can’t even begin to comprehend the talent and skill she has

[@gamadebdegamadebde]

If I could afford it I would follow you everywhere you offer classes!! Have never seen anything like your work and all without moving and cutting thread for each little area. Amazing. You prove that it is ok to have threads cross over each other. Thank you, thank you.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

You are most welcome. I am teaching in Canada and uk in 2020 and in Houston again.

[@nannalindy1219]

Your accent is quite lovely, and your quilting is magnificent. I so enjoy all your short and sweet videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

You are very welcome.

[@taurigal]

So fascinating to watch! Absolutely love this. You make quilting - even micro quilting - fun! Love the effect of the metallic marker on black fabric, too. Who knew? Can't wait to try some of these techniques. Thank you, Handiquilter and Helen Godden!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

You are most welcome.

[@bobbieparsons1917]

How fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed that Helen. This Kiwi thanks you wholeheartedly for the fantastic inspiration. I would love to see more videos like this.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

[@palominojoy1899]

So mesmerising watching you FMQ.

[@sandybradfield6015]

Love these episodes! Since I have this machine, I can always practice your techniques easily. It helps my Sweetie be even more fun to use, plus we are getting really good results. A total win-win for me! Keep teaching, Helen! I love it!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Glad you enjoy them so much.

[@elenalanglois]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this beautiful piece. You are very creative!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Thank you.

[@annebrunner3649]

Thank you. Beautiful quilt.

[@Mickey28252]

Love it. You are a artist with needle & thread.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Thank you.

[@bobbinwithbrittany]

This is AMAZING!!!

[@jasminevanya5522]

Your Kangaroo is so cute and beautiful like you. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with everybody. I would like to make it one day, hopefully soon.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@puppiesfollowus]

Beautiful. I was literally mesmerized watching your hands perform such beautiful designs and patterns.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

It is very relaxing to quilt.

[@snickerbuckle]

Took me at three episodes to notice the wee kangaroo shadow in the window! I’ve been loving this series!

[@charleneappel7120]

You are amazing.

[@ConniePloch]

Beautiful and your nails match the pen! 😄

[@quiltstamper5432]

you are amazing, making it look so simple

[@Trixy8521]

You make it look so effortless. Someday I hope to be this good.

[@taniahury9769]

Wow, absolut awesome !!!

[@SewJoyful]

Fabulous! Want to see your finished 🦘 please!

[@janelandberg6523]

Beautiful. I want to see the finished piece. I’m always so inspired watching your videos. Thank you

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Hopefully the finished piece will be posted soon.

[@jmason8883]

Heaps cool Helen 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@wendyz7859]

Love this Helen. This is very similar to the painting I’ve been doing in my Aboriginal art group. I can’t wait to try doing something similar on my Simply16. It will be fun to combine quilting with designs from my Aboriginal heritage.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Hello Wendy. Glad you like it. I have a strong connection with indigenous Australian art. My husband lived in central Australia for his childhood so it is a big part of our life.

[@RebeccaWoodbury]

Did I miss the part where you said what type and weight of thread you use ? Love all of your video's... hugs from Florida.

[@jennifermaddock4382]

So fun! I never thought of using metallic Sharpies on dark fabric. I'll give it a try!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

I am full of new ideas.

[@rositeixeira3078]

Sou do Brasil! Gostei muito! Obrigada!

[@joettewarburton8005]

Helen, As the other viewers, I am also a fan. I understand you are Handi Quilters Sweet 16 Ambassador, but are there similiar videos using the great Handi Quilter stand up frame models?

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

There are loads of videos on Handi Quilter you tube channel. Try jamie Wallen’s videos.

[@inger-gretenymann2072]

Fantastic. Love from Denmark ❤️

[@Sandramariadefaria]

Amazing how you do it so easily

[@Upsidedownburnotinsideout]

Amazing!

[@lindalosier5989]

Love this. There are so many things I want to try with my quilting. I need more hours in the day!!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Yes I am looking for an extra 3 hours between 3 and 4 pm

[@nannalindy1219]

Love watching your videos! So much inspiration to play with. One question? what do you do with all the pieces that you create while teaching us?

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

The group at Handi Quilter all try to squire them. Gradually they each have a little piece of HG original. I sell many small works on my Facebook page Helen Godden Quilts. Randomly I just offer something for sale and it’s the first person to comment SOLD makes the purchase. Usually a small piece is around $150AU

[@janinebell763]

Watching 2021, I’m from Perth. WA. Love your work, have been watching this series. So how many designs do you have in the kangaroo .

[@A3l.Legal.deviceping]

Great !

[@andreakubsch8428]

This is awesome. Just scrolling through and came upon this episode. As far as your funny accent, it's one of my favorites! I cant wait to get out to my quilt shed and try this on my Tin Lizzie. Thank you so much for this beautiful class. From Tyler Texas USA........crikey!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Accent? What accent! Lol Happy quilting.

[@safarichey]

I am also interested in brand type and weight of your thread. I have been using glide but it really doesnt show the quilting all that well as it somewhat gets buried. Also the metalic sharpie is gorgeous! would it stand up to a wash perhaps?

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Yes. Sharpies are permanent.

[@donnanelson9181]

Your designs remind me of the aborigine prints I’ve found on some fabrics made in Australia. I love aborigine inspired prints.

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

I have a deep love of our indigenous art in Australia.

[@janekwarciany401]

Can u see through the black to trace pattern on the fabric?

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Sew fun!

[@metabonnell6239]

Does the Sharpie ever wash out?

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

I have not washed it repeatedly but it says it is permanent.

[@Deeloveshergoldies]

I dream of doing something like this. Can’t imagine trying to do it on a big quilt though

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Start small and gradually get bigger. It is totally possible.

[@shearer19703]

What thread are you using when you micro quilt? How are you threading the machine if using 100 wt and what needle size?

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Sorry but I don’t remember specifically what thread or combo I was using.

[@annetteparsons398]

Helen is this pattern for sale as a download on your website? Thanks for Sharing!!!

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

Yes it is. helengodden.com/product/kangaroo-leaps-bounds-edesign/

[@debbiebrown7095]

Why a sharpie? It doesn’t wash out

[@HelenGoddenQuilts]

It is a quick way to trace and gives a thicker line to outline stitch. It means you don’t need to stitch over the outline numerous times to give it impact. It also means for a less confident Quilter, even if their quilting patterns are not terrific, the strong design still stands out and makes sense as an image.
