One Hour Quilting Design! Longarm Quilting a Baby Quilt - Grace Qnique

[@lamoabird]

Go with the flow, great suggestions. Thank you! You are my teacher and the one I learn the most with. Many blessings always!

[@harperreads]

I love that you are showing your learning process! I don’t have a long arm, but learning is learning. Quilt on!

[@LeahDay]

Thank you Becky! It was an adventure and I enjoyed the process! The best part was pinning the quilt on and taking it right back off again the same day - that's fast!

[@Magic-Myrlin]

Your videos are really helping me and take away the fear that I'm feeling. I just purchased a Baby Lock Coronet and it looks to be about the same size as your machine. I haven't even received it yet so I'm soaking up some knowledge before it arrives in about two weeks. I love your teaching method - so thank you so much for this video.

Really liked how you went with the flow and allowed yourself to improvise. The horizontal wavy lines reminded me of rows in a farmers field when they are rounding to a new row when plowing under previous spent crops. The way vast fields can undulate also creates that sensation. Long arming would be a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing this quilts finishing❣️

[@LeahDay]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this video! It was completely improvisational. I honestly didn't know what it would look like by the end, but I'm super happy with it.

Love the idea of the wobbles and bobbles on your quilt. It turned out great. Thanks for sharing your experiences on the quilting frame. Another great tutorial!!

[@LeahDay]

Thank you Linda! I'm so glad you enjoyed this tutorial!

[@joantabb3062]

I've learned so much and have started sharing your videos with my friend who has the same Grace machine.nyour Awesome 😎🇺🇸

[@conniequinlan7958]

Thank-you for this video!! I am the new owner of the Qnique 21" and any video you share with this machine is greatly appreciated. The quilt clips and ruler foot is now on my Christmas wish list!!

[@LeahDay]

That's great Connie! I hope you're loving your Qnique 21!

My 6 year old said the bobbles reminded her of socks. :) she said she would name it wiggly wiggly socks. It looks like a comfy quilt. Thanks for sharing your process

[@LeahDay]

LOL! I love it!

[@emilyking3291]

I love that quilt!!! My youngest loves tractors!! It's beautiful!

[@LeahDay]

Awesome Emily! I believe this is a simple quilt panel you can find at most quilt stores or online. John Deer licensed print if I'm not mistaken!

[@darleensanford7231]

I love the idea of the bobbles. I will definitely try that. Love all you videos.

[@LeahDay]

Thank you Darleen! I'm so happy you liked it!

[@thomasorndorff2844]

You have helped me. I am going to sew a quilt tomorrow. Thank you for the info. Ann

[@LeahDay]

You're welcome Ann!

I did this Crazy Matrix design on one of the blocks for the Marvelous Mosaic quilt. Even though it was one of the easiest designs to stitch, it’s one of my favorite blocks. It looks so beautiful on a solid color.

[@LeahDay]

That's great! Yes, I love solid color quilts too because you can so nicely see the quilting.

[@netticraythorne6253]

Try a Singer needle - it solved all my tension and skipped stitches problems!

[@Happybidr]

This the first time I’ve watched you quilt on this longarm and it was AWESOME for me. Just what I wanted to see. I ave been thinking about getting my own longarm. When buying gadgets and machines I tend to buy all the bells and whistles even though I’m just a newbie with a longarm right now. So when I saw that you had chosen this particular machine which costs a lot less than I thought I’d have to spend. But now it makes more sense to me to start with something less technically complicated. Although at some point I’d like to get a longarm that has the software built in that will allow me to choose a pattern and let it run all by itself.

[@LeahDay]

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this tutorial! Yes, you can add automation to a Grace Qnique machine and Continuum frame. You can even add it to our new little Q-zone hoop frame, which is incredible. I do think it's best to get started with the basics first and go from there. That way if you run into trouble, you can trouble shoot easier, learn the machine and get to know it, and it can grow with you.

[@bettykasischke3665]

The curvy lines are like the wind blowing across the scene. Sew on, Leah!

[@LeahDay]

Thank you Betty!

[@etlzjj84]

I enjoyed this video! I'd like to see more long arm videos like this; working on panels is sometimes confusing to me...do I emphasize the panel or just do an E2E and get it done?!! Usually I'm in a time crunch and have to just get it done! This video seems more realistic than most! Loved it!

[@LeahDay]

Thank you! On a home machine where I have a lot more control, I probably would have gone crazy quilting the panel really precisely. On a longarm, and particularly on a time limit, there's just no way! I think it's great to quilt simply and get it done on projects like this. For something you spent 4 months piecing or appliquing, I'd definitely quilt it more carefully with a lot more time and attention on the pieces and design.

[@scrappinvt]

Loving these videos! Thanks

[@LeahDay]

Thank you Pat!

[@BetMey1]

Great video - love your free style of quilting - great learning video. Lots of great tips. I am also wondering where the blue clamps can be purchased.

[@LeahDay]

Find them at GraceFrames.com. I'm not carrying these yet, but plan to add them as a starter kit soon.

[@bw3624]

Awesome!What is all that stuff on your machine ?

[@LeahDay]

Probably my equipment for filming videos!

[@nancywatkins7754]

Where do you get those blue clamps?

[@LeahDay]

Check the Grace Company website. I'm not carrying these yet, but plan to add them as a starter kit soon.

[@leslieschumacher1553]

Leah, do you leave your ruler base on all time when you are quilting?

[@LeahDay]

Yes, I don't ever take it off. I don't know when I might want to pull out my rulers for one thing and for another thing - that takes effort to remove it! LOL! I'm lazy!

[@inesm.gonzalezmolina2462]

Me encantan tus proyectos y tú modo de trabajar. Pero este tutorial tiene sentido? Quien tiene una máquina de este tipo? Pocas personas que no sean profesionales.

[@LeahDay]

No, estas máquinas no son tan comunes como las máquinas domésticas, pero no son tan caras como solían ser. Tengo muchos tutoriales para acolchar la máquina casera aquí mismo: leahday.com/pages/quilting-design-gallery

[@melniee2551]

Can you show us the final result of the tractor quilt?

[@LeahDay]

Come find a nice big image of the quilt right here: leahday.com/blogs/machinequilting/charity-quilt-in-1-hour

[@mariavicente6787]

Olá, adoro!

[@LeahDay]

Thank you!

[@marilyn1289]

My longarm doesn't like to go from right to left either.

[@LeahDay]

It's funny - once I changed to a size 18 needle it stopped being so picky. It might be worth playing with your needle size to see if that helps.
