Starting and Ending a Line of Machine Quilting on a Sewing Machine with Angela Walters

[@lisagarner8261]

I knew about pulling up the bobbin thread to start but not the technique for finishing. Thank you for explaining that!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

yay! I am so glad that you find it helpful!

[@TheIdahoBeauty]

Same for me. I've quilted for literally decades and taken machine quilting classes as well as watched/read about different ways to end but never this one. I usually go searching under the quilt to cut the bobbin thread - difficult and can't always get a cut that doesn't leave a tail. Will surely try this trick.

[@wingif1976]

this is so helpful! Thanks, Angela.

[@dawnesmith-sliming7004]

I’ve never seen anyone tie off a quilt like that before. Thank you for that! I’ll feel more comfortable now when I know I’ve tied off my quilting either by plan or if something happens.

[@katherinealinda]

Thanks. This concise, but thorough video really helped me.

[@suelohr9841]

Jeez Louise! I've wondered how to end quilting and get that bobbin thread out of the way. You are AMAZING! Thank you for all your tips and tricks!

[@shanegeis2696]

Thank you for explaining so well I have had trouble with starting & stopping and until now haven’t found any good demonstrations you rock!! Love your videos

[@darleensanford7231]

I have tried burying my threads, but I hate it. It is really great to see that you do not. I never knew how to really bring up my thread to finish so your info was very helpful. Thank you.

[@KathyM-c6i]

So helpful to this [65 yr old] beginner! I love piecing and have made 60+ quilts, but have only *finished about 12 -- the rest are UFOs! You're giving me courage. Thank you, Angela.

[@caroletgen3303]

Thank you! Just starting to machine quilt my very first quilt after lots of practice pieces and I haven’t found this information in other machine quilting videos - so appreciate this! ❤

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

Thanks for the tip with thread breakage. I was going back and pulling threads up until I could knot and bury and then start where I left off. This will be a big time saver. 😁

[@cindifairchild1846]

The tip about using FrayCheck or fabric glue was just what I needed to hear as my threads on the back are not always the neatest. Love your videos, I learn so much. 😊

[@sherryfaires7931]

Thanks so much!!! I love helpful tutorials!

[@judithseed6214]

Thank you, Angela!! Your explanation along with demo is so helpful!!

[@TheHawkeyeQuilter]

Finishing technique -- nervous to try, but could be a game changer for me; I always burry w/ the knot. Great tips in this video!

[@debbieboswell5785]

Thank you for explaining that. That will help a bunch.! I have always wondered what you meant by tying it off

[@taunamcbee8626]

Great explanation and making it so easy.

[@daniellewilliams2855]

Thankyou Angela for the validation I’ve been doing it right but I like your idea of getting the bobbin thread back to the top in the stop. I think I’ll give this a go.😊

[@melindalowry8486]

Thank you so much for this! I really needed this lesson!

[@rebeccamulkern1051]

What a fantastic tutorial, finally I can fully understand and follow the advice, thank you, what a natural teacher you are!❤

[@stephaniedavid8820]

Thanks you so much Angela for your advices. I’ll start to quilt a patchwork to night. So your video was just in time 😊. Take care

[@lexitejeda6209]

I’ve been ending by leaving tails and then pulling the top thread to bring up the bobbin thread, and then burying. I’ll try your ending method, and thanks for this! My current quilt is with different thread colors top and bobbin, so I’m being careful and burying threads.

[@marionbarber984]

I do too many in place stitches that leaves a lump on the back. Thank you Angela I will try this method.

[@lisalau9816]

Thank you so much, I had the start figured out but not the stop!

[@dysyblue3008]

Super and easy to follow instructions - thank you.

[@meacadwell]

The first time I made a quilt I watched a ton of videos and the majority of them showed to do this the same way. A couple showed how to tie off the threads and bury them. I decided to try it the way you showed and trimmed off the threads. The thread came unstitched. The next time I made a quilt I met in the middle - did it the way you said except left the threads long and buried them. Now I don't have a problem with the stitching coming undone and I've made probably close to 40 quilts since then. I've often wondered if different sewing machines don't do the stitching just differently enough to cause the stitches coming loose problem.

[@eldajackson1]

Version of Hell!!! I had to LOL at that one. I was planning to try that & then saw on another of your videos where you just clipped the threads & decided to check other videos. So I will be clipping! Thank goodness!

[@windlessoriginals1150]

Thank you.

[@Kathof2]

Can I ask what handiquilter machine model you are using for free motion?

[@joantrueman5471]

Thanks I needed this video

[@pattymccauley3520]

[@LisaD-sl2dv]

Thanks so much, I ´d like this every time, but I dont trust it. Now I trust you. 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@mike1968442]

Anyone know what sewing machine she is using? I’m on the hunt for a new machine.

[@Angelicus-p5p]

Beware the automatic thread - cutter! Sometimes I forget...darn.
