Quilting Fun with My Q'nique 16X Mid Arm from Grace Company

[@SnowWhite1352]

April, thank you for being real with your quilting. It is helpful to me.

[@reneecorbin8501]

YES, YES, YES, LOVE THIS ,I wanted you to use your long-arm for awhile now , ,Thank you, It looks so good,, you get better with each quilt, I have been working on mine for some time, learning as I go,,,,you can use regular white chalk and mark on your top ,and it shakes off or washes off its easy to follow along the marks,,I love the swirls and how you went around the hexies, Please show some more of your long-arming adventures ❤❤❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

😊 thank you

[@rosiehowell5575]

Thank you April. I'm so glad you let us see your not so perfect quilting. Gives me hope that I can do this.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You can do it!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Your quilt is beautiful. You have a cute little dog; and, your grandchildren sound healthy (and very happy). Thank you for this video.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for watching my channel!❤️

[@joz1801]

The quilt turned out so great I love the design of the teas and the quilting itself all the different types you used in it looks so neat if you're not happy with it I'll take it

[@donnaroach5983]

April this video is soooo inspiring to me, love the fact that your a believer that finished is better than perfect!!! Anyone would be proud to have that quilt!!!!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@wandawalker4191]

Indeed! I have a friend who says ,"Practice makes progress, not perfect."

[@aprilscraftroom]

❤️

[@paulabecker7483]

Great quilting, April! I love watching what you come up with. You are my favorite quilter.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Oh thank you!

[@kristamorehead-mcnutt1714]

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@pattimordente9457]

Thank yiu for the demonstration . It's interesting how everything works!

[@neselain]

Love it April. It looks great.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks so much!

[@ellenhofer3343]

Your quilt turned out beautifully. You are so talented. Pup is so cute.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so kind

[@geraldwhite3523]

Love it! It looks so good. Please show it again after it's washed❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

Will do!!

[@saraharrell1768]

❤ 1000 times. Need more to watch while learning to quilt patterns.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Great job April! TYFS💕🧵

[@marlaatml]

Now I need a quilting machine lol.

[@elainelear4982]

Practice, practice, practice. Live the paisley also!!

[@vickiserre9457]

I believe this beautiful Grace quilting set up is the same price of the replacement used car I. Need first🤣‼️♥️

[@aprilscraftroom]

Not quite as much as a car but you do have a point. Long arm quilting set ups are not for everyone.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I loved seeing you FMQ, you are really good with the ruler work too. the paisley meander is pretty dang cool, I like it too. FMQ isn't for the faint of heart. Hugs to Grace, lol.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you Di ❤️ Thanks for watching my channel

[@introvertedquilter]

I have the exact same setup - frame and 16X - and this video made my day. Your quilting is much better than mine, but it gives me something to aspire to!

[@michellebusta3507]

Hi from Missouri

[@maryo8511]

It looks fantastic!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@SueGrant-x5t]

Great Job

[@mariejohns1387]

April I love it!! I struggle with quilting too. I also have a Grace machine. Mine is a 15R. It is definitely not my favorite part of making a quilt.

[@connieclark3562]

So interesting to watch this free motion quilting. Nothing I’ll ever do, but nice to watch you practice.

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

Practice! What most of us need.

[@lamerson771]

Loved the quilting!

[@cheriS1575]

Ohhh! I like it

[@rhondahallet8413]

I think your quilt was grand! Really loved the paisley and the hexie outline. At least you're quilting your quilts. I am using a credit card for mine.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@roxeannesexton8447]

Practice makes perfect or good enough 😉

[@aprilscraftroom]

You got that right!

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

Thank you April. You're so talented. ❤🍫🍩

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome. And thank you for the compliment. You're gonna make me blush. ;-) Hugs, April

[@carenstory8425]

Turned out great. Looking good on your quilting skills. Love the swirls and curving lines. ❤ idk it's on my phone KZbin but not the tv KZbin. Glad it was on one of them 🎉

[@aprilscraftroom]

Oh thank you!

[@tonialtman3727]

Love it

[@darlenegreen6821]

thank you ❤

[@SarahWilcher-rh7cy]

I want a 16X so bad!

[@annolsen8276]

Great video April. I have the Grace q-zone Nd converted my mid-arm to work as a long arm on it. Seems Like I am always practicing. Your quilt and quilting look great.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@jeanettebenton]

This is a beautiful quilt

[@dianefoote9759]

Thanks! Love your videos.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much Diane for your support. :-). You rock! Hugs, April

[@dicooop]

[@jannawhitten2473]

I didn’t get that with my grace. I got leader cloth that I have to pin.

[@pattimordente9457]

I unfortunately found out the hard way ,that it does matter which side of the batting should be facing up. Depending on the brand of batting , mine, the bumpy side down with the dimple side up is how it shoul be in the quilt sandwich. Otherwise, you'll get bearding coming out the fabric after it is quilted.

[@Sara-ul1tr]

My quilting practice quilts get sent to the animal shelter. The animals there REALLY don’t care whether my stitches are straight or evenly spaced. My last one was more stitch than fabric. 😂

[@aprilscraftroom]

LOL. I am sure the recipients think they are all works of art!

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I’ve never tried free motion quilting

[@aprilscraftroom]

It’s fun

[@terribishop5313]

I have that same frame, that tubing never worked good for me, it kept popping out. I just bought the same machine , picking it up in 3 days. Which thread and needles do you like to use? Does it fit onto the G carriage?

[@aprilscraftroom]

I'm sorry that tubing didn't work for you - I've been pleased so far. I use the Finesse thread which is the thread Grace sells. The needles came with the machine and I've just reordered from Grace - I will have to look and see the size. I'm not sure what the G carriage is. I got the Qzone Queen Frame if that helps. April

[@terribishop5313]

@aprilscraftroom Ty so much, I have the q zone queen frame as well. I'll get some of that thread from Grace ordered.

[@judypurcell954]

I don't think it is as bad as u do. But one suggestion, match your thread to the fabric and it will hide those unintentional designs!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks for the tip

[@michellebusta3507]

Hi

[@aprilscraftroom]

hi

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

Embrace the suck. You'll never get better if you don't do new things

[@nkosiakinlabi3135]

It would have been much better if you didn’t speed up the section where you were actually doing the different patterns. Can’t learn them like that. Actually defeated my purpose for watching

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for the feedback-- it really helps me know what you need and how I can improve I am so sorry for the speed up I will see if I can fix it
