Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!!

[@brendahamrick9337]

I started doodling on a tablet but after a while I found myself seeing those loops and swirls in my head even when I wasn’t doodling!🤪

[@SewYeah]

😂😂 Thanks so much for watching!

[@70acres]

Brody, I love your oblong loops and swirls! I prefer those to attempting to make a circle and failing. Besides, everyone else does circles, I want to be me. God bless all y'all!

[@SewYeah]

Exactly!! 😀😀 You've got to give it your own style!! Thanks so much for watching and God bless you as well!

[@szelop]

Good job Brody!

[@SewYeah]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@theresaheiser6408]

Brody, great questions! I'm about a year into longarming and I can see how my breathing, gripping and watching were I'm quilting has relaxed and improved. As all the educators say practice is the key.

[@SewYeah]

So true!! Thanks so much for watching and for supporting Brody in his beginning efforts! 😂😂

[@WeQuiltStudio]

Awww.....Brody you did great! And Kelly really seemed to luv teaching you. You just brighten everyone's day! Thank you for being you. And Kelly, thank you for a great tutorial!

I love to watch Kelly’s videos

[@SewYeah]

We love Kelly too! Thanks so much for watching 🙌🎈😊❤

[@Xpresslifetifa]

I just started practicing on my first quilt with my new long arm machine! Thank you for this demonstration. It made it a lot less intimidating seeing a beginner as well. He did really great at those loops. I’m going to try some of these designs on my quilt!

[@SewYeah]

Wonderful! We're confident that you'll do great :)

[@mjp5129]

I’ve had a long arm for 9 years. I’m still intimidated, so much, that I put off the quilting. Therefore I have lots and lots of quilts just waiting. Lol. I’m gonna do it, though. This video has helped so much. Thanks

[@baseballquilter8984]

Wow! That swirl looks very difficult. I think I will start with the loops! 😊

[@SewYeah]

🙌❤ Baby steps!! Thanks for watching!

[@donnastjules8157]

I love Kelly Ashton! She is an amazing quilter. I struggle with swirls

[@SewYeah]

We love Kelly too! She is such a great quilter and instructor. Swirls are difficult.Keep practicing! We're sure they look great!🙌🥰

[@triciaphillips8560]

Nicely done! It helps when you have automatic speed control! I learned something new today! Thank you

[@SewYeah]

Very true!! Thanks so much for watching and we are so glad it was helpful!

[@retasmith409]

You’ve got this 👍🏻

[@SewYeah]

Pretty great for a beginner!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@stephaniesmith2575]

What I loved about this video is the over the shoulder viewing vantage point as she explained what she was doing. She was showing what we see when standing there trying to figure out our moves.

[@SewYeah]

We are so glad the video was helpful!! Thanks so much!

[@linneareece6827]

I loved this, please do more like this!

[@SewYeah]

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching!

[@donnamatoi5256]

Excellent and great video, love the tips, “practice with purpose”. Great job Brody, would love to see more of these types of videos, especially on the TL JUKI 2010 Q❤️❤️❤️

[@SewYeah]

Thanks so much for watching! We are so glad you liked the video and that it was helpful! We hope to do more similar videos soon!

[@christinahall3318]

This is a confidence builder for us newbies!!! I’m ready to go quilt that top that has been on my longarm for a more weeks than I care to mention. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@SewYeah]

We are so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@karenkennedy7516]

This video was so helpful. I tried the corner to corner technique and wow what a difference it made. It works for individual blocks too. Thank you for sharing.

[@SewYeah]

Glad it helped!

[@dianekuch1373]

Go Brody. The one arm bandit 😀

[@SewYeah]

[@SewYeah]

Thank you!! Improving!! 😊😊

[@retasmith409]

Wow that looks great. 👍🏻

[@SewYeah]

Yay! We are so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

[@Shelekele]

Nice video. I love to practice free motion on fabric panels for my young grandkids. Trust me, a 4-year-old doesn't care about the quilting ... they just love the picture. And when you feel comfortable make different designs in different sections, it's like doodling. Try to follow the swirls on a Disney Princess's hair or make large "puffs" of smoke from Thomas Train's choo-choo, make spiderwebs for Spiderman! Write their names in cursive in the sky (Draw it first - plan how you'll dot the "i" and cross the "t") It's a lot of fun. (I do this on my 'lil $100 domestic machine - just drop the feed dogs and raise the tension)

[@SewYeah]

Such awesome ideas!! I'm sure your grandkids love that!! Thanks for watching!

[@loishodd8579]

Very helpful video. Loops are definitely easier for me, than meandering or swirls.Wishbones are also very easy to do.

[@SewYeah]

We're so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!😀 🧵🪡

[@denysephenix2349]

very nice .. to see .. Brody ,, you learn fast and Kelly teaches well.

[@SewYeah]

Thank you so much for watching! Kelly is a great teacher! It was a great time quilting with her!

[@sewingbarbie6136]

Wow Brody you are good at that!

[@SewYeah]

It was a lot of fun to practice! Thanks so much for watching!

[@lindalosier5989]

You should see all the tablets I've gone through practicing swirls and quilting designs. It's all about the muscle memory and when it clicks it's like magic!! You did great & I really enjoyed watching this. Great tips!! Please do this again.

[@SewYeah]

Thank you so much for watching! We are so glad you enjoyed it! We hope to make more similar videos soon. Happy quilting!

[@Carylanne927]

this was more than fun watching you FMQ. Congrats!!

[@SewYeah]

Thank you so much for watching! It was a lot of fun to work with Kelly!

[@karenraabis5296]

So far my choice is usually loops. I just like the way they look.

[@SewYeah]

They are a lot of fun to do! Thanks for watching!

[@wendabartholomai5650]

Really like this! Will watch for more like this.

[@SewYeah]

We are glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

Yes I have been working on those swirls, they are tricky to master. Happy to see I’m not the only one. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@SewYeah]

Thanks so much for watching! They are tricky! We'll keep practicing! 😜😜🙌

[@SewYeah]

[@alexandrawhitelock6195]

I laid out a paper pantograph on sewing area. I have many of these. Leaving machine turned off, I traced over and over and over…found it very helpful.

[@SewYeah]

Thanks for sharing!

[@clairemccoy5502]

Thanks for this video. I have a table runner and wasn't sure how to finish it. Now I'm going to practice some meandering then do it on my runner!

👍👍 Thanks for watching!

[@delenebartholomew1041]

Go Kelly!

[@SewYeah]

She's amazing! Thanks for watching!

[@JackieDannenberg]

I just got a Handi Quilter Infinity. I haven’t yet done any free motion quilting. I did have prior to this, a midarm machine which as you know is totally free motion. The difference between midarm free motion and long arm free motion is overwhelming to me. I had the midarm for about 5 years and I have been DREAMING of a long arm but was surprised that I was able to get one ! I have a bunch of quilts I’m using ProStitcher with that I have to get done but when those are completed, I’m going to “attack” free motion on a long arm. Do you have a video with rulers on a long arm ? That would be fun too because I have a BUNCH or rulers as well. Thanks for this video. You’ve got me beat ! I feel like such a klutz ! Laugh Out Loud !

[@SewYeah]

Awesome, so glad to hear! We don't have a video on rulerwork yet actually, but we have a ton of Longarm videos in our Longarm Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLrtSy05WBGuhYC0fCwcc636jzTgvYzob5

[@JackieDannenberg]

@@SewYeah Thank you !

[@kathleenfangmeyer7574]

Thanks, love the content 💕

[@SewYeah]

We are so glad! Thanks so much for watching!

[@michaelparsons1953]

thank you for the lesson!! For those of us who do not have access to a large quilt machine, can you show us the same techniques on a home sewing machine?? Would be much appreciated!!

[@SewYeah]

Great idea for another video! Thanks for watching!

[@little1942]

I purchased a good sized blackboard to practice my designs on. It took months before I finally tried swirls on an actual quilt. Remember, your not perfect and your quilting won’t be perfect either. But it’s always better to have a finished quilt than a perfect one. Practicing will improve your skills though. I found using cheap fleece to be perfect for practicing as well. You don’t have to go through the pain of loading a top, middle and backing. Just load the fleece and have at it!

[@SewYeah]

Nice!

[@normathompson3369]

I recently bought a longarm and I identified with him. We need to practice a lots more 😅😢

[@SewYeah]

😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!

[@moniqued9715]

Hi there. Just discovered your channel. Fun and fantastic! Great info. Do you have the name of the pattern and fabric for the quilt on the end (right side) beside the red and white quilt? Pretty please!

[@SewYeah]

Hello! This was filmed at HandiQuilter and that was one of their patterns. We apologize we don't have that information! Thanks so much for watching! We hope you can join us again soon!

[@catherinesofikitis179]

Yay Brody

[@SewYeah]

😂👍

[@pamsury3969]

I watched the sewing channel today and she was showing how to do feathers and stippling. It was so neat because she made a sandwich with a plastic vinyl top and didn’t use a needle. She used markers she’s stuck to a machine you’ll have to check it out it’s called the sewing channel.

[@SewYeah]

Thanks for watching!!

[@judythomson4740]

At least you had the ASR (automatic stitch regulator) on. On my home sewing machine I don’t have that, so my stitch length varies

[@SewYeah]

Just keep practicing!

[@DeborahBruce-fx6tn]

Do you use the regulator while free motion?

[@SewYeah]

Yes!

[@denisemead764]

I feel like the hard thing as a beginner is what to do when I get stuck. Just use practice pieces as dog kennel liners or make casserole totes. Takes time to train the brain!

[@SewYeah]

So true and great ideas! Thanks for watching!

[@emmagifford8186]

I have essential tremors so doing it on paper won't work. What do you recommend?

[@SewYeah]

No worries! You can practice on fabric just using scraps or whatever works for you. You'll get the hang of it and quickly see what works best for your style of quilting. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you can join us again soon 🎈😊

[@rosagonzalez5093]

I’m interested in the chevron quilt behind this video. Is there a pattern for it?

[@SewYeah]

Please text the number for the lives 702-280-4552

[@teresalogan5715]

What do you put your table on

[@SewYeah]

Not sure I understand the question

[@pamsury3969]

Can you show us the same thing on a standard sewing machine rather than a quilting machine like that?😊

[@SewYeah]

Thanks for watching!!

[@2fast61]

If I had that machine I could do it to.😅

[@SewYeah]

😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Will do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!

[@suzannemiller993]

What thread did you use?

[@SewYeah]

The thread used was provided by Handi Quilter. We usually use Aurifil or Isacord. Both are fantastic brands! Thank you for watching!

[@eduardachi2571]

can i do this with just my sewing machine i have many tops lol

[@SewYeah]

Thanks so much for watching! You can give us a call at 702-586-8687 and we would be happy to discuss machines that have these functions!

[@belindabrewer219]

Sew yea

[@SewYeah]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@mjp5129]

His loops look like mine. Well his are a little better. I do meander better…lol. And, that’s about all I do.

[@darlahardy3386]

It's Okay to crack up laughing but I thought you just needed to put a USB in the machine with a pattern on it, turn it on and come back when it was all quilted with a beautiful pattern. Guess not hu.

[@SewYeah]

These designs are just free motion, or free hand but you can do set designs as well. We also made a live Handi Quilter video that goes into more detail about the machines. You can find that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5PGe4xsn56Cfpo Thanks so much for watching!

[@lorenoakes3934]

I do this and this is not easy! I worked forever to build muscle memory.

[@SewYeah]

So true! It takes a lot of practice! Thanks so much for watching! We hope you enjoyed the video! 🙌

[@Katcedes]

I tried to free motion quilt with my sewing machine and I SUCKED. Longarming terrifies me.

[@SewYeah]

😒🤔😊🫶

[@mamakaka73]

I personnally think those are too dense for my taste. I do what I call "world map stipple" much bigger and spread appart.

[@SewYeah]

Thank you for watching! We love how stippling can be tailored to the individual like Kelly said! We love the "world map stipple" style as well. Thanks again!

[@nakshipolly5666]

I myself design the traditional Nakshikantha of Bangladesh, our Nakshikantha here is all hand stitched and very beautiful stitched. Since I design myself, I have no need for sewing machine designs. I would draw the leafy flower design on the fabric myself with a pen and sew it on the sewing machine using only free thread. So please tell me which machine will be good for me in low budget. Thank you ❤ My youtube chanel nakshi polly

[@SewYeah]

That's great😊💕
