I talk about the set up process and show you my initial quilting on the machine and some of the tension issues I’ve been dealing with.

Do you own a long arm? What kind?

[@luhare4779]

Thank you for asking but, no just my domestic. I am not a quilter per say just love to dabble with fabrics and thread when the mood hits. I love to see others creative beauties though.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

It’s definitely not a necessity 😂! Have fun dabbling!

[@Robin-qc4gn]

I actually did buy a longarm (Tin Lizzie 18) and quilted a couple of quilts on it. Somehow, I never became comfortable with it. It sat unused for years, which was a shame because it was not cheap. I think it was at least 20 years ago and it cost as much as your Moxie did, which was a lot more money in those days. I eventually got rid of the frame and the machine itself is sitting in my sewing room on the floor. Do better than I did! Your Moxie is really nice, much nicer looking than mine was. Make friends with her!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Sorry you didn’t get on with yours. I know the feeling from my Bernina! We didn’t make friends. Hopefully I’ll be able to befriend this one! I’ve already figured out I had it set to far to small a stitch length so that will be why the stitches didn’t look right to me!

[@joanndutton1896]

In January of 2022 I bought a Qnique 21 Pro from the Grace company with a 10 ft Continuum frame plus Automation. I had some real issues with tension but I think I finally have that figured out. I have quilted 3 quilts on it. 2 with automatic ( which I struggle with greatly) and 2 quilts with free motion. I’m not very good at that but I get by with it and it doesn’t look bad, I’m probably just more critical of my work. However I’m just now after eight months just now beginning to enjoy it more..

[@jilbertb]

Q'nique 15R Bought during pandemic, so the frame was free cuz sales were suffering. After practicing for 6 mos, I could do ruler work easily but freehand was SO hard, as compared to using the domestic. All I could do well was stippling. I broke down and got automation which cost as much as the machine did, but totally worth it. I buy all my pantos from Creative Stitches. Huge sales (less then half price) 4x a yr. $5 new release patterns all the time. I can finish a quilt top in a day! I love it! I can't sew new quilts to quilt, quick enough! I know you'll love it too! Try making a (kids size 44"x60") strip quilt ON the longarm. SO EASY and kids never notice mistakes! 😂

[@rosepaul9681]

Love to watch you play. I think the Crafty Gemini has a Moxie and has explained some of the controls. Happy quilting. Edited to add: you could make a couple of whole cloth quilts to get some great practice. I made quilts for my dogs and cats out of yardage, no patchwork. Went wild practicing loops and stars and meandering.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! I saw a couple of hers but not sure I’ve seen that one I’ll have a look for it.

[@krystleroy3068]

I can’t wait for u to show us how u use it moxie should pay u I can’t wait until I have a sewing room and i want to make sewing channel in my future

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Hope you get your sewing room soon and you should definitely start a channel if you have the urge. You don’t need to wait for a fancy sewing room either you can show folk how you sew now even if it’s in a smaller space!

[@KiyomiY]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m eyeing one but can’t justify it yet. I’m currently quilting on a Singer 9960 with a 6.5” throat. The pain is real. 😀

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I feel your pain! That’s why I kept trying so many quilt as you go methods 😂. It is doable but maybe takes more thinking time to figure out how to get those big quilts through a small throat space!

[@luhare4779]

Oh My Goodness Kristen, Congratulations!!! Wonderful Purchase Girl, this is great. I would love a long arm, but my husband and I have downsized into a smaller house, our girls are grown, our grandchildren are grown, the last one is a senior this year so there was no reason for us to have a big house at this stage in our lives. I am so Happy For You because quilting your quilts will be so much easier for you now. I cannot wait to hear how this has changes your quilting journey, so exciting. So much fun is coming for you. By the way, you made a gorgeous rose on that cloth while you were playing in this video. Well, I am making my way through your videos, I really enjoy them and you have helped me a lot! Many thanks. 👏👏👏💖 have fun playing and learning your new toy, 🥰👍👏 Chris

[@ScrapFabricLove]

[@doloresnash287]

I have a King Quilter 2 no computer, for a year and half now! Everything you're saying and feeling I said and felt!! Do check out ruler quilting its quite fun! Am I an expert now? No, but I am a lot better now. About 6 months ago I bought back handles and have done panto quilting, it's fun too but I do prefer free motion. I worked at a quilt shop before I moved and ran a Statler Gamil, computerized. Which I loved and do miss that wonderful machine! But for home not an affordable machine. Just keep practicing you'll get better! But do try ruler work it's fun. You'll need a ruler base for your machine, a must for ruler quilting! Have fun and I wish you many hours of happy quilting!!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! Yes I bought the ruler kit including the base and I’m looking forward to trying it. I liked working with rulers on my domestic so hoping I can get better on the Moxie 🤞🏻!

[@doloresnash287]

@@ScrapFabricLove it will be easier to do ruler work on the longarm!

[@sandidavis45]

I just got a Moxie XL with an 8 ft frame. I, too, was worried about space. I can add the 2 more feet at a later date. It was amazing to me how similar our quilting journies are. I use pantographs. Working on free motion. This machine and frame is not nearly the learning curve that my Bernina was! The thing with an industrial machine, which this is, get used to fiddling with tension. HQ has great video support. 2 quilts done, 3 more waiting to be done. All the best.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Cool! Have fun with your XL!!

[@jojomontgomery7119]

Congratulations! I hope you love it. I bought a Grace Company/Brother machine over a year ago and have been quilting ao many tops I had made over the years. The lady who sold me mine said, on a domestic it is like writing your name by having the pen in your hand and moving the paper. These machines are like moving your pen across the paper. Have fun!

[@EmoryWOCN]

I own bernina q20 on classic frame with qmatic....I also have bernina 770 qe tula pink which I love except I cannot sew bowl cozies on my Bernina (too thick). this small thing really bothers me because seems for the price I should be able to sew whatever I want.... yes I've watched your video about 770qe trade in but doubt my dealer would even consider. I got my q20 for Christmas but my husband lost his left lower leg (below knee) to necrotizing fasciitis (flesh eating bacteria) may 13th and spent 54 days in hospital. we are still waiting for prosthetic. so I still not had enough time to learn it so totally understand you being intimidated. your videos inspire me (i admire you for doing free motion and ruler work).... that really intimates me but you make it look easy

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I’m so sorry your husband and you have had to go through that! Sounds horrible of course you haven’t been practicing. Big hugs! You will get some time back I’m sure when everything settles down in time. Be patient with yourself and just have fun having a go when you have a chance. When you can get to it try to make it a stress release rather than a stress creator by allowing yourself to make mistakes. I make tons of them! Take care of yourself and sorry again for all you’ve been going through.

How exciting to have a long arm! I would love one, but like you have a small room, but the machine would be longer than my room is lol. Have fun learning your new toy.

Good for you!!! You and I have a bit of a similar journey as I started actively quilting a few years ago too! I took a half-step and purchased a Cutie frame from The Grace Company to use my Bernina 770QE instead. I like that I have a stitch regulator but the massive size of my machine is a nuisance. Hopefully one day I will purchase a good size Longarm once I convince my husband to give up another bedroom for it 🤣. Enjoy your new purchase!

[@ginnyreames1198]

Hello! I bought my Moxie and 10ft Loft frame in March 2022 from The Sew Yeah Bros. and I'm in heaven! I built it myself in 2 days only so I know the mechanics of the table and the machine. I also used the Bult App on my phone! I have completed #7 Queen to King size quilts...All are for my family but my last one was for a commission, Twin size Chicken Quilt and made a substantial amount of money! I am getting ready to computerize my machine and I'm excited! I did invest in the Ruler Table and a large Spoon Foot. Previously I owned a sit down Viking but the quilts were getting too heavy for me to maneuver. The Moxie machine is an excellent machine to start with and also to add onto in your own time.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Sounds like you have an amazing set up. I so want to do a big king size soon - just cause I can now!

[@AnitaSouthall]

Oh wow, so happy for you, nope I don't have the money or the space. Enjoy the journey

[@joanotto9984]

I purchased a Moxie 10 months ago. I have done 48 quilts so far. Some for others. I wish it was a bit quieter, much louder than a regular sewing machine. I just love doing ruler work, yes I got the ruler kit and the panto kit.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Wow! 48 quilts is very impressive! Well done you! But yes my husband did remark on the noise. Mine is on a hardwood floor not sure if it would be quieter sitting on a rug or not.

[@Quiltaholic10]

I admired your courage to make this purchase. I have been quilting since 2013 and have thought of wanting to get a long arm (mostly last year) and really considering the space but did not go for it because I don’t a space for it for now. Besides, I do not have the support of my husband so I don’t want to hear it!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Yes I’ve kind of taken over this room in our house and bought the machine with my own money so honestly I didn’t really ‘ask’ my husband 😂. The trade off being of course I also didn’t ask him to help set it up! He is used to me doing things like this by now though!

[@teresadawkins3876]

Kristen, so happy for you! I understand the excitement and nervousness on using. It is such a step up from having to horse around heavy quilts on a domestic machine. I have a Grace Q’nique 15R. It’s a very basic long arm, but having a frame big enough for a queen size and not having to crawl around on the floor to baste is so worth it. My free motion quilting is not as good as yours so I use pantographs from the back of the machine and they turn out well . Enjoy!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I am definitely not going to miss the basting! Used to take me at least an hour and I would end up with puckers anyway😂! I’m sure your quilts are beautiful with pantographs. I’ve seen lots of pretty ones and I like how uniform they look. My free motion still needs a lot of work but thanks for the compliment! I’m thinking of experimenting with stencils soon too.

[@nancyb2261]

Congratulations! I purchased my Moxie last November. I'm still learning so much. There is also a product/company called QBOT that has a computerized product that is compatible with the Moxie that I saw a demo on and it looks really nice. I'm not sure if I want to go that way yet.

I have done several Queen size and only one KING size on my domestic machine. The others have been like for a double bed. I started quilting in Nov '21. I have done 14 quilts so far. How much space do you need in the back of the machine?

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I think it depends if you are going to do quilting from the back. I have very little space at the back just the small amount to let the machine go back on the carriage. I crawled under the frame to film that bit behind the frame - I don’t have enough room to walk around it 😂

Hey. Thanks for the video. Really useful! Did you go and demo the machine before you purchased? Im based in Scotland so it’s a bit of a trek and wanted to check what you did. Thanks

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Nope! I just went for it!

[@spiderlaurence]

@@ScrapFabricLove ok cool!! It has got great reviews! Thank you!!

Can you you use a computer with it or is it totally manual? I thought you did pretty good on your first attempts.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

You can use a computer but the computer - pro stitcher lite - is a separate purchase. I didn’t buy it so mine is just manual.

How was it moving the long frame supports into your home? I'm worried about maneuvering through or around corners in my house

[@ScrapFabricLove]

The frame came in pieces in boxes. I built it in the room it is in now.

Will this frame hold a king size quilt?

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I got the 10 ft frame and I think it does hold a king size but I haven’t done one on it yet!

What is price all setup machine please reply 😊

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I think that will depend who you buy it from and what add ons you choose. For me it was £5k here in the U.K. from Pinhole Quilting.
