With the financial atmosphere you have shown the traditions of quilters making something out of what you have on hand. I picked up an unfinished quilt with a note in it, requesting to contact the person if I decided to finish the quilt. When I contacted the person was told the person who started the quilt is now in a nursing home and has forgotten most things of her life but she could still remember how to quilt. I offered to send the finished quilt to her family and she is thrilled. With all of this story I am finishing it in just the way you quilted your quilt. Quilts all have a story and a home. Thank you.

you are an angel, this is so beautiful, I'm screenshotting this for my "good things" folder for when life gets too much. thank you for sharing this ❤

[@charliem6335]

You made me cry😢😢😢 You are an angel 😇 💛 💖 💓

[@pambiller8432]

What a sweet thing to do for the original quilter. I hope to do the same someday. Blessing sister quilter.

[@catherinecarey4897]

What a beautiful and kind thing to do. I'm sure you brought a tear to the original quilters eye ❤

[@sherrelstroot3034]

I love the idea of a " good things" book ( or whatever). It is a part of counting your Blessings. Thank you for sharing.

[@conniekline9881]

I just love your no stress quilting tutorials.

[@juliatepe5760]

The quilt is absolutely gorgeous! The quilting compliments the beautiful design, and the pieced backing looks pretty. The recipient is obviously very pleased😊

[@nelzisayuriiaguchitanakata2298]

Gratidão! Que dicas, maravilhosas! Muito útil, para nós, costureiraa iniciantes, meio que autodidatas. Na costura doméstica.

[@dragonsandscotch]

I quilt all my quilts on my machine. Biggest one was king size, and that one took a few weeks.

[@elisabethkiesel4567]

Using quilting gloves was a life saver for me. They’re grippy in just the right way

[@lauriemyers3]

I personally prefer straight line quilting to the more decorative designs. Knowing that I can possibly do that myself makes me very happy.

[@brookemcgillivray180]

The quilt is wonderful! Front and back 😊. I feel much more confident in machine quilting. Thank you.

[@marandjoe]

Call me 'not too bright' or whatever lol but this video FINALLY made me able to put my walking foot on my Bernina correctly! Literally all it took was that brief moment where you said "this is what most people do wrong" ( or something to that effect) it was EXACTLY the reason I was struggling. I'm not even going to embarrass myself by telling you how many years I've had the machine and the walking foot. At any rate , you gained a subscriber with just that one nugget of information that clicked so clearly with me , and I look forward to going back and watching all your videos. I really like your style!

[@alexandramatthews7682]

Just something I learned that makes rolling your quilt easier is use a dollar store pool noodle to roll up the sides of your quilt 😉

[@SoulsJourney]

I love how pragmatic you are about the whole process. I'd almost given up quilting because of how complicated some channels make it out to be, and all the 'must have' tools they show.

[@PinCutSew]

Which is crazy because quilting began as a “make do” kind of thing!

[@namevale8835]

I feel that way too! All those specially things your made to feel like you must have before you can quilt, it kinda ruins it. I try to remember that once upon a time quilts were purposefull/utilitarian and may I add BEAUTIFUL before any of these fancy quilt things were invented, a time when quilting was nessecity not a "hobby" for more financially privileged individuals. If you want to quilt do it! You don't need all the best things money can buy. There are a lot of groups online where people love to help new sewists and who also love to get rid of fabric scraps! 😊 Also thrifting is a good way to not only help you get to quilting for the cheap but to help our environment. I have found some awesome rulers at garage sales for super cheap.

[@stooglesgoogles7246]

That always drove me away from sewing in general, all this equipment you need… knitting is much more straightforward but i’m giving sewing another go this year

[@lindafitzsimmons2526]

Nikki is one of the very best on KZbin. I’ve been watching her for quite a long time. Her tutorials are by far the most enjoyable and relaxing. Take time to browse all her videos, as her projects are all great and very easy to follow.

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@christievans1891]

Love 💕! It’s so refreshing to see an uncomplicated quilt that’s not a repeat pattern (ugh) but still fun and inspiring. ! I love it 💕 Thank you Nikki

[@deewinston5651]

I just found your channel. I am 74 and a new quilter. Everything I have learned I have learned from KZbin. I have just made a two Jelly Roll quilts and one Baby Layer cake quilt. Your quilt was so beautiful. I use my Singer machine but I do struggle some when straight line quilting. I like the cross hatch design so much. I am going to try next quilt I do. I am trying to make lap quilts for my grandchildren. Thank you for your video. You’re a good teacher.❤️

[@trishwinstead28]

I am happy to Subscribe because I love your style of teaching. I got an extra thrill when you pulled out that old folding ruler. I have my father's, who was born in 1905. So glad to have a reason to use it! Thank 😊 you

[@donnahart823]

Your quilt is gorgeous.

[@pamelawray5290]

Thank you so much for this tutorial Niki, it was very helpful for me to actually watch you demonstrate machine quilting at home. Surprisingly, the most helpful part for me was when you explained what the seam guide was and how to use it! When I purchased my machine, I also purchased the walking foot and there was a seam guide in the box as well, but it wasn't identified or explained in the instructions, so I had no idea what it was. In fact, you're the only one I've ever seen using it, and I'm so glad you did! And I'm so glad I didn't throw it out! 😊 By the way, your daughter's quilt is beautiful! 🎉

[@namevale8835]

My machine came with the walking foot, but not that seam guide. That would have been nice to have. I mark all my lines with a frixion pen, it's tedious and annoying to draw all those lines!

[@pixiesweeney6535]

A woman after my own heart! 🤩 Piecing the back, stitching batting to make it fit and just using what you have to hand! Very good advice indeed!😍🤗☺

[@Arlene3M]

Thank you!!! My queen quilt has been pin based for 5 years. Still have not bought an extension table for my machine. Going to use my walking foot and get it done.

[@imogenethomas1138]

Such a great quilt! I love the diamond shape.

[@hugg724]

I have quilted all but one of my quilts with my own sewing machine. I enjoy the process of making my quilts from start to finish. Painters tape works great to establish straight lines.

[@bethlane3411]

I love using the ruler tape for straight lines. It is fun!

[@lesa6399]

Her quilt just quietly says ILY! Thank you for such helpful tips & teaching. 😊

[@petro3441]

Stunning❤❤❤i am subscribing immediately cause you are the best teacher ever

[@namevale8835]

I just want to say "bravo". I appreciate how you pieced the backing, I have done that purposefully, it looks cute! Double quilt! . Also, what is even more amazing is that you use second-hand sheets for your backing. I thought I was the only one who did that! It's so cool that you have done that, too! I prefer to use sheets that I find at thrift stores for a few reasons...#1 it's WAY CHEAPER! I do make sure, of course, the sheet is 100% cotton and in good condition. I want it to last. I don't have a lot of money, and I really want to be less wasteful, so reusing and re-purposing is an awesome practice. Isn't that the point of a quilt to begin with. A useful item is made with what you have. The quilt I just finished, I actually used an old faux quilt blanket form probably to late 70s as batting. It was tatered worn fabric that was fake patch work with batting between the fabric layers. It was a blanket I always loved and was very worn out. I filled holes with scrap batting. Then my backing was a 100% cotton sheet I got at a thrift store, I will say the sheet was that nice cotton sateen, so very smooth and I found it to be a bit of a pain, so go for more crisp cotton sheets if you can find them. Thank you for sharing your quilting experience.

[@gasi101]

Beautiful!! Based on your clock on the shelf, time stands still while you quilt :)

[@PinCutSew]

😂 It needs a battery

[@kimberlyjones9697]

Beautiful! As a new quilter, I THOUGHT I had to do things the way premier quilting videos taught quilting- clean cuts, 100% cotton, etc. I hate wasting fabric and batting, so I started piecing my batting a year on smaller projects- placemats, baby quilts…- and found no visible differences. I’m so content now. Although, it would be nice if manufacturers took quilting sizes into account when packaging. You do beautiful common sense quilting.❤

[@tinatippin5705]

Great video! My creative flow has sputtered for a while now, but I find your relaxed approach inspiring. The quilt is amazing. Your daughters delight was precious. Thanks.

[@dafairygirl86]

I absolutely love how you explain things. As a complete beginner, you make it so easy to understand what you are talking about. I already figured out my machine's walking foot, but your explanation would have been so very nice when I was figuring it out.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

It's absolutely lovely! You're a true artisan and I greatly admire your skill. That will be a quilt she cherishes for the rest of her life. Nicely done!

[@chloegrl1366]

Wow very pretty!!!! Love the attitude that quilting need not to be expensive!!!!

[@barbmckinlay5108]

You make quilting look so easy. Both your quilts are beauties. ❤

[@Army2Fire]

I never knew what that contraption was (quilting guide) for my walking foot!! Loved this tutorial!! Thank you so MUCH! Nikki

[@karenherndon1811]

I do many of the tips you provided…but you provided so many more great ones! Thank you! Your quilt is so lovely; I know your daughter will cherish it! ❤️

[@jennytobias6551]

Just FYI Nikki i tried to find a walking foot for my very old Phaff 360. It was my Moms machine and i now use this since she has passed. My father purchased this machine for my mom when I was three. I am now 62.. so I really wanted to learn how to machine Quilt, but I found out that that the Phaff has this built-in technology called IDT, and it does not require a walking foot to machine quilt. this machine actually has a built-in walking foot. This is not just for your channel but for viewers watching your channel to just to let them know.

[@lizthibodeaux2496]

The quilt turned out so lovely!

[@abagguff9395]

Beautiful quilt for a beautiful daughter! I love how time stands still in your sewing room when you're doing what you love!!

[@Ravdna]

Your quilt is really lovely. I also appreciate your advice for quilting with home sewing machines.

[@bettycesky4947]

Love the quilt and how you used left over fabric pieced together for the backing. Your quilt reminds me of my grandmother’s quilts; comfy cozy. I’m glad you have lots of ideas for sewing projects because I’ll be here waiting. lol ❤

[@foechicken8023]

Infinalky broke down and bought a walking food. I love it!!

[@bethlane3411]

I seldom sew without my walking foot.

[@leanichols6824]

What a beauty of a quilt!! This is an heirloom your daughter is going to be so happy with. Thanks for the machine quilting tutorial. I've been making quilts for a long time and have never machine quilted a big quilt. I've either hand quilted it, (I love hand quilting), made a QAYG quilt (which I enjoy doing), or sent it to a longarm quilter. I have an older machine that doesn't have a lot of room but you make it look and sound so easy. I'll have to try it sometime.

[@donagail]

Looks wonderful!! ❤

[@caroldavies1139]

I love the practicalities of you videos. Thankyou.

[@marym8028]

Just watched this video and you are already my favourite quilter/teacher. You explain the basics, warn what could possibly go wrong, and have a great sense of humour. I love the quilt you were using to show how to machine quilt and that is the kind I would like to make. Is there a video on that style? I just subscribed so I have a lot of your videos to go through, and will enjoy every minute. I am 80 and although I have been sewing for almost 70 years, I have never quilted. Time to start! :)

[@PinCutSew]

Aw thank you and welcome! I did not create a pattern for this quilt, but I did make a few videos to share the process. They’re all on my quilting playlist :)

[@debbarrett9868]

Absolutely love this quilt! Great job teaching us how. Thank you.

[@marggagnon329]

Thank you so much for this video. l'm about to embark on a project like this and I certainly learned from you. By the way -- about your ruler. I am 82 years old now and can remember my grandfather, who was a carpenter, using such a ruler. That would have been in the 1940s. You certainly do have an antique ruler. Thanks for the "ruler memory" as well as your quilting instructions. lol

As usual, a wonderful work of art! I use quilting gloves when I quilt on my domestic machine. It makes it so much less exhausting.

Yes! I always use those when free motioning especially
