Quilting Tula Pink's Queen of Diamonds Quilt: Live Chat with Angela Walters

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Angela, thank you for breaking down your approach to quilting a quilt. I learned a lot from this vid! Many thanks for your hints and tips and your artistic freedom when quilting. Now, I just have to let go and have fun. ❤

Love the table runner! Football is a favorite in our house.

[@KariSchofer]

I love the idea of breaking those large spaces into smaller sections! I learn so much from watching your videos! Thanks!!

[@pattiadams3968]

I’ve done most of your challenge quilts and I learned so much more from you, than I ever learned from an in person class. Without you, I’m positive I’d still have a pile of UFQ’s. Thank you for taking your time to do all of these videos.

[@simplyquiltingwithnancysanders]

Thanks Angela. You were the first quilter I watched when I got my longarm about 7 or 8 years ago. I bought several of your books and LOVED the Midnight Quilt Show! ❤

[@sandrarinker2254]

One of your best videos. Very very informative. Love ya Angela Walter's. A must save video.

[@angeculler]

Ahhhh, I asked, you delivered!!! I'm totally taking credit for this 😂😂😂

[@SheilaRose]

Great video. That quilt is so beautiful. I love your new website! Congratulations and Thank You!

[@melanieayers3363]

Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve not watched your live chats before but this was incredibly helpful and I’ll definitely be watching more often in the future. I love your honesty and simplicity of your discussions. And I have a Queen of Diamonds sitting waiting to be quilted and you addressed the EXACT reason why I’ve been holding off working on it. Thanks again!!!

[@bjbquilts4181]

This was a very informative tutorial! Thank you!! I’m always so inspired by you❤

[@lindawalker8500]

Well, even with your wonderful explanation, I still don't understand how you do it all because of the color changes you obviously make. Your work is amazing and I so love seeing how you come up with different designs in different size areas!!!

[@conniedavies5459]

Thank you for showing us this quilt. I have the diamonds hanging on my design board but haven't sewn them together yet. This gives me some inspiration!

[@rosecrutcher4478]

Hello from Phoenix, Arizona! So happy to see this video.

[@TerriHasstedt]

Sorry I missed the live, great as usual. Especially liked the variation of the feather, one of your series I've yet to do. Happy Thursday!

[@littlelufer]

Thank you for making my month! Great information!

[@cynthialodermeier5291]

On the replay! Thank you for addressing my question from your last live!❤ I did the Tula EPP and will definitely use some of your ideas!❤️

[@fatbirdquiltingstudio5338]

Great video thank you so much!!!

[@brendafoley6995]

Nice football panel!! I always learn something! Thanks

[@paulinesmith8349]

So glad you have it up and working. I could not get on your old site my security would not let me go on it. But it is letting me on your new site

[@ginacalvello6403]

🎉Congratulations on Your New Site🎉

[@wendylink4315]

This is so exciting to me! I haven’t added my sashing yet. Almost perfect timing! ❤

[@joanifrenette-cornell7264]

The bracket idea is great! I have (believe it or not!) A simply 16! So know about throat space. Thanks for all your advice!

[@louised3535]

Congratulations on the new website

[@janetheadrick5096]

Congratulations on the new Web site.

[@katrinstrickler6868]

Thanks for the detailed information, I love to use some ideas for my Queen of Diamond. One question: did you take the EPP into consideration at all in your design? I have been told to not stitch in the ditch on EPP projects.

[@louised3535]

What a great football runner!

[@louised3535]

Love that Star interrupt 😘

[@cynthialodermeier5291]

How do you get the quilting brackets sized to fit the area you’re quilting, so perfect? Is there a way you mark or measure to get the perfect?❤

[@SherriWagner-l2v]

I would love this of course it has to the lions for my husband ❤

[@fatbirdquiltingstudio5338]

I do have a question if you stumble across this question that would be fabulous… When you tie off to change color or whatever and you do your tack, do you sniff your threads or do you bury them?

[@janetheadrick5096]

OH, love that football field table runner.

[@laurietanas9953]

I love live chat!

[@murielsiegenthaler3226]

Love the table runner

[@connietucker3512]

Sorry I missed the live. I am new to quilting, but I have a friend's quilt that I am doing for her. She has asked for custom on a tumbling block quilt. I am stressing over the blank space around the block sets. There is groups of blocks with large white blank areas around them. I can not think of what to quilt in those areas. Please help with ideas!

[@sau-lingwong8444]

Thank you

I recently quilted my first quilt with my sewing machine. Ik had some troubles with the freemotion quilting when i was going “backwards” it skips stitcues. What do i do wrong?

[@sandraerickson9978]

Hello from South Dakota

[@lisaevans8438]

How long did you quilt on quilts before you quilted for clients?

[@flyred77]

I am here, Darn it-I missed the live session. It's always some kind of crazy here.

[@barbgreen5195]

hi Angela! This chat is so fun! Is that table runner for sale on your website? Cool :)

[@dottie6573]

Great video. I'm a new ruler quilter. I have been feeling very frustrated. I have a Janome 6600P and brought a ruler foot and ruler. I have tried everything but my top thread keeps shredding, near the needle. I have adjusted top and bobbin tension, still happening, altered foot hight still happening. Changed spool and bobbin. After 3 hours of trying to get more than 18 inches of ruler quilting before thread shredded I gave up and fmq the quilt I was working on. The machine fmq as usual and it is the same set up as ruler worker, what's could be causing this. Can anyone give me advice of what I'm doing wrong.

[@karenbeck8769]

I have a Janome also. I use Glide thread a new purple needle. Glide thread never shreds for me.Good luck!

[@dottie6573]

@@karenbeck8769 thanks for your help, will give the glide thread and needle a go. Thanks again

[@lindsayschilling8707]

I always experiment on a test piece. I have found when having this sort of problem, there are 3 issues that are likely causing this kind of problem: 1) the needle size (the eye of the needle many times is the issue); 2) tension, is it a wee bit tight or lose; 3) stitch length. I play around with these possibilities until I find my groove. So, hang onto those test fabric & batting scraps. When I find the perfect combination, I write on the fabric scrap what I did to get that beautiful quilting combination. Yes, I have a plastic tote where I toss my practice pieces. I frequently dig thru the tote to solve quilting issues, or just for inspiration. HINT: these practice pieces, with the written details, have saved me, or the quilt, many times! ❤

[@dottie6573]

@@lindsayschilling8707 thank you, will try to eliminate all of your suggestions. Quilters are a wonderful group of knowledgeable people.

[@dottie6573]

Well thanks guys, it was the thread. I can now practice without thread shredding. Thank you

[@LouiseTichenor]

I have an amara 20 which I got in April. I am having a difficult time using my rulers. The machine feels like it is stuck. What am I doing wrong. I had a simply 16 prior to this one

[@tamarawinn7173]

What batting did you use in Tula's Queen of Diamonds?

[@dorisimperati3566]
