quilting free-motion victorian feathers

[@isabellharaldsson8352]

"Give yourself a break!" Is probably the best crafting advise I have ever heard in my life. Thank you.

[@esperansaloughran693]

Oh! Karen McTavish you are a lovely thing to watch with your feathers! Thank you, I never tire of watching you and I also, love feathers. Take care.

[@morganosborne9258]

These are so beautiful. I started doodling a lot after watching the art of McTavishing. Recently, I started practicing with stencils for the round feathers and various center fills. Getting better, but not quite quilt ready. Yet. Thank you for the reminder to give ourselves a break. Always lovely to catch your instruction.

[@barbarastuart5675]

Thank you Cheryl for sharing free motion.

[@stickman1215]

You are amazing, I could watch you quilt all day long. I practice and practice and feel like I’ll never be really good.

[@nanasloves]

[@dianarowland2669]

I have always been one that swore I couldn't do a feather to save my soul. So far so good. The way you explain it makes sense in my brain!!! Fingers 🤞

[@sarahalexander5904]

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a Karen McTavish quilt hanging at Paducah. Stopped me dead in my tracks.

[@brendanickel7607]

Thank you so much for teaching. You have a calming voice which kept my attention to learn from you. Can’t wait to practice on my little sewing machine. I can’t wait to see more videos.

[@adelzsigmond7535]

Thank you so much! I learned very much. I purchased my longarm 2 months ago, so I'm a beginner quilter on longarm. I enjoyed the beautiful quilts on the last segment of the video. Absolutely stunning!!!🌷

[@ckck9077]

Dear Karen. I was thrilled to find this video and have since watched the others found on your website. I love your creative and relaxed approach to longarm quilting and your style in general. The format of the videos is also great. A true artist! My longarm skills are already improving with your guidance. Thanks for sharing.

[@jessicatexasjh]

I just love your videos!!! Are you still making them?

[@KarenMcTavish]

Of course!! This is my life!! You can follow our quilting adventures on instagram or at www.mctavishquilting.com 😊

[@robinlynch9199]

Thank you! I've never watched any of your videos before and find it so satisfying to actually see you do the work! I'll check out your website for others.

[@Barb.Steed.]

Thank You! 😊

[@esperansaloughran693]

Love your videos, thank you so much, and as you work, I look at your beautiful feathers on your arm!

[@TheJAG1357]

What an awesome video. Thank you so very much for your great instruction. You are very talented.

[@jaclynramsier5271]

I noticed in a video you tied a new thread color to the already threaded one and pulled it through. I tried it. Semi-successful. Can you do a short video of that technique? I would love to learn more basics and fundamentals! I am doing OK but I always feel like I am not doing things the efficient or smart way.... it's so hard on your own. At least I have generous teachers like you on KZbin! I cant imagine learning this alone pre-videos!

[@KarenMcTavish]

I starting quilting by checking out quilting books at the library!! Lol. Ok next time you want to change your thread color - break/cut the thread with a long tail. Then take off that cone & put your new color on the holder. Take the new color and make a long strand. Tie both stands into ONE TIGHT knot. Two knots won’t fit thru your needle. The trick is long stands after the knot so it holds as you pull it thru to your needle. One yank - at the knot & it will go through! I didn’t learn this trick until my 4th year quilting!!! Lol 😂

[@jaclynramsier5271]

Thanks! Any recommendations on a book with period-correct quilting ideas? I have some quilts and I want to do them in a style that respects their era. I love all of your videos, I could watch them for days!

[@reneehoffstetter3501]

If you mark a quilt before you put it on your frame, do you still use the air soluble makers. They disappear sometimes less then 24 hours. Or do use use the water soluble (blue) markers. Then the quilt needs to be washed afterwards.

[@KarenMcTavish]

Great question!! If you use a NEW purple pen / you’ll have 72 hours to quilt, using air erasable pens. But if you pen is old - it will go away within 10-24 hours. Time to open a new purple pen!! If I can’t get to the purple marks in 72 hours - I’ll use the blue pen of chalk. Blue pen is risky because of the bleeding factor.

[@edithcomella2430]

I am Edith if I join how much do I need to pay

[@edithcomella2430]

I really like this program

[@KarenMcTavish]

Hi Edith - this is a free video for anyone who wants access to it. I just post my video content, rather than making people pay for it. Thanks for watching!!

[@barbarastuart5675]

Hi again my ? I have a brother sewing machine and I practice free motion. Now working on a small Quilt so is it better to free motion each square first. 😊

[@KarenMcTavish]

@@barbarastuart5675 smaller quilts are way easier to practice on - for sure 👍

[@daringmocha1]

I love your hair

[@lyndaengland349]

Thank you for sharing these tutorials, much appreciated!..Are you using the 40 wt or 60 wt Glide Thread?

[@KarenMcTavish]

I use both threads - I love 40 wt glide for feathers. The 60wt is beautiful too. The 40 wt glide packs a harder punch.

[@esperansaloughran693]

I find straight lines are more difficult than feathers, luv doing feathers.
