Thank you once again for a beautiful tutorial. I'm nearly 90, and hand quilting has always been one of my favorite things to do. I think hand quilting and knitting are the most relaxing of all activities, and your pairing of the quilting with Pachelbel made for lovely and tranquil watching. I'm still learning, and I am so grateful for your patient, detailed instruction.

I've been a hand-sticher for 40+ years. Love so sew the entire quilt by hand. This however is an amazing inspiration for quilting myself. Long-arm is beautiful but a hoop too hard. I just like your method of holding the quilt and your stiching is fabulous. Big thank you.

Thank you for sharing. I remember watching this video of yours at least 10 years ago I think maybe more. I’m thinking it’s probably closer to 20 years or so. But I had already started learning to master the hoop. Which I’m very glad I did and now I’m trying to make the effort of learning how to master quilting with no hoop. So I’m very excited about this. I’m also wanting to learn how to do the big stitch that people talk about. oddly enough that seems to be a bit of a challenge for me. But that’s OK. I enjoy the challenge. And I know I will enjoy doing quilting without a hoop as well. I really do like your stitches. They are a beautiful, stitch and consistent as you make them in size.

Thank you so much for this very useful video. At about 16.50 you talk about scrunching up the 'sandwich of batting and fabric so you can get your hand over so you can 'rock' the needle. How do you manage this when you are further into the centre of the fabric?.. when there's too much fabric to scrunch?
@StarlingStar112 жыл бұрын
This is how I quilt too. I've never tried it on a bed sized quilt, but I've done more than one large wall hanging using this method. One was a pretty elaborate all white, whole cloth quilt. I started it with a hoop and ended in my lap. You can not tell the difference in the quality of the stitches although the in the lap stitches might be a bit better.
@flossie54326 жыл бұрын
I have sewn the last few inches of a quilt around the edges in the way you describe here and it works very well,but all that basting would drive me bananas and take forever.(Usually I baste 4 inch squares using one very long thread and starting in the middle to the edge alternatively lengthways and across,using 2 needles and a very cheap machine cone thread.This is a very quick way of basting if there is two of you--one to pick up the basting thread from the middle and baste towards themself,as you are doing the other side).The great thing abut perfecting your frameless method is that you don't have an awkward frame or hoop to carry around.But without the elaborate basting you do,I'd be afraid of creating ridges or creases underneath.

Hi Marie. To answer no 2, you can add sew two or more pieces of batting together. It is recommended to only join same batting types together (as adding different types is likely to be noticed). Wide zig zag sitch.

I overlap the 2 pieces and cut through both,for a neat edge,then herringbone or zigzag together loosely..Make sure it stays flat-no ridges.

This is really helpful- I'm just teaching myself to quilt. Two questions: 1. What is the difference between the quilt stitch and simply sewing a line? I learned by hand over 30 years ago & my sewing stitches are often straighter than a machine. Is it just a matter of time spent? 2. What can you suggest (or anyone reading this) for solving the issue of the batting being smaller than the quilt? Can I add batting by sewing two pieces together? Thanks!

You can put two pieces of batting together. Either by zigzagging them together or with a special tape made to join batting.

It's much easier to simply pull each individual thread out from the top instead of pulling it along with all the rest of the strands. I would not use embroidery floss to baste.

This may help a few people , but it is a stretch and most probably can be worrisome for your back . When I was a young girl about 8-10 I went with a friend to her grandmothers house, on the back porch she was ,with a couple of other ladies hand sewing a quilt ,however it was hanging from the porch ceiling ,bound between what looked to be 8 pieces of lumber made from 2inch wide by maybe 1/4 inch thick planks ,hung by chains and when they were finished for that session, it was hoisted back up closer to the ceiling out of the weather ,no rain ,no sun directly on the quilt .They would sit here for hours sewing in their designs .They could put their chairs up under the center of the quilt and raise or lower it what ever distance seemd necessary at the time I suppose. I never got to see the finished product, but I was a child and could not see what the fuss was about.This was in very early 60s'.Now ,my question is when hand stitching a quilt, you can only see one side ,so when stitching are you catching just a little batting or are you going all the way through so the design will show through on the opposite side .And if not then I suppose that you flip and stitch designs on opposite side as you see fit.? And if so are you using one layer of batting ,or two? I am loving this because I have this amazing daughter who would do anything for me and would love to leave this as a legacy for her .Thank you God Bless You !

My mother-in-law (whom I met in the late 60's) put in a quilt every winter, using the same type of hanging frame which was "pullied" up and stayed next to the ceiling during the spring and summer months, but when it came fall, she would have a hand pieced quilt top sandwiched and ready to go when my father-in-law let down the frame and helped her roll it in. I spent many hours trying to emulate her teeny-tiny stitches which I could never do quite as consistently as she did. I absolutely and utterly regret that I was so young and stupid to not take as much stock in the skill and artistic ability this woman had. Having been the typical "city girl" who married a country boy, if I could go back in time I would tell her "thank you" a thousand times over and let her know how ashamed I am that I didn't then appreciate how much she taught me about many things. And yes, these tiny little stitches do catch through all three layers of the quilt...that's why a good quality batting (and a good needle) is so essential. It's amazing!
