I enjoy matchstick quilting. I find it very relaxing. It doesn't require a lot of thought, so it's the perfect thing to do after a long day at work.

[@PatSloan]

I totally agree!

[@denisepineda1788]

I didn’t know anything about the match stick quilting so that was interesting to learn about. I am very glad you mentioned that you need to always start in the same direction, because I would have probably turned it every round. I would be willing to try it on a small quilt. Thanks a bunch!

[@chloemorgan7560]

I really enjoyeed your tips about matchstick quilting. I want to try it some day on a small project.

Thanks for the lesson on Matchstick and Pretzel channel stitching. It was all new and very exciting to me. Pat, YOU are amazing, fun and I watch every day. Many days, my hubby asks me at the end of the day if I watched your daily post yet. I have not done a sew-a-long with you, but he keeps encouraging me to. I shared your KZbin link to a few of my quilting friends and they are now catching your posts. I will encourage them to subscribe if they have not yet.

[@margaretlavenia4634]

Thanks so much for showing your Matchstick quilting! It's nice to see another way to quilt smaller projects myself! It's nice to have Helpful Hints too. I saw a pillow once at trunk show and she started in the middle and circled around to the outside about 3/4" apart that was really nice.

[@PatSloan]

Thank you for joining me!

[@chrisclark9862]

I haven’t tried matchstick quilting but I would like to try it on my next small project using your tips. Thank you!

[@PatSloan]

i hope you do!

[@bettiefrisby9844]

I love the way the channel stitching looks. I was not successful when I tried it years ago but I was going down then back up. Exactly what you said not to do. Now I know why it was puckering so much. Thanks Pat!

[@PatSloan]

One direction is the key!

[@evelynfrench804]

I was at Church yesterday reciting the prayer of confession. My head was thinking about designing a quilt! Back to confession with me! 😀

[@PatSloan]

it happens!

[@johilpert9149]

I am so glad you showed the channel and matchstick quilting. I am just venturing into quilting with my piecing machine and needed some new ideas for quilting. I also have a Babylock, older model than yours and am glad to know there is an open toed walking foot available. Great video as always.

[@PatSloan]

You are so welcome!

[@karenlehrkinder1576]

I would like to try the matchstick quilting.. I learn so much from you.

[@PatSloan]

You should! it is fun.. the mug rug is a perfect size

I have a runner I want to make for a gift that is very modern. I really appreciate the matchstick quilting tips you presented, since that is my plan and I want this gift to be just right for the recipient. Thanks again Pat for a thorough, helpful lesson. Yikes I need to get rid of the 80/20 batting!

[@sharbubr2802]

I’m attracted to the matchstick quilting. I’ll have to try it on a small quilt. ADHD is likely to kick in and them make the process a drag. I sure appreciate the troubleshooting you do and the advice you share.

[@PatSloan]

try it and see!

[@sharonsienaski6919]

I’d love to see more quilting using my sewing machine. Especially would love tips on stitch in the ditch and the cross cross diagonal type. Thank you.

[@PatSloan]

you are welcome!

So happy to see the glass bluebird I sent to you and that you love it. Your bluebird quilt is so pretty. I have that on my list to make.

Hi Pat! I think I've said it before, but I love the colors of your bigger pumpkin quilt-they are such soft shades. I can't wait to see how the little guys come out 😊😊

[@PatSloan]

Oh thank you!

[@paulalukas5585]

I self taught myself on walking foot quilting. I bought some books but I never tried the channel quilting. It looks interesting!

[@PatSloan]

it is fun!

[@KimFernandez820]

I like it when you teach us things. I will certainly try matchstick quilting.

[@PatSloan]

Please do!

[@maryswarts2282]

Really enjoyed the column and matchstick quilting...go na give it a try❤

[@annmarieott6387]

I enjoyed seeing about the channel quilting - not sure if I want to do it but felt like I could try it.

[@PatSloan]

trying is fun!

[@kristyrohm1500]

Beautiful bluebird...it matches your personality Pat! I like the coloum quilting but not so much the matchstick. Thanks for sharing that information.

[@PatSloan]

You are so welcome!

[@beckythomas9521]

I love your pumpkins. I also appreciate the information on machine quilting. I will be doing my own once y machine is repaired.

[@kathyburch9591]

My Mom had glass bluebirds that I remember and often feel bad because I did not keep them. Love your pumpkin quilt!! Wow I am not sure if could do the column quilting but maybe sometime.

[@PatSloan]

the birds are so pretty

Catching it on repeat. I popped in late on the premier and fell back to sleep. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the lesson on matchstick quilting!

[@pamjay5465]

Hi Pat. I have tried channel/ matchstick quilting on a table topper. Love the look, do not like the process! I am a longarm quilter. So much easier and quicker. Love your videos😃

[@PatSloan]

you do come from a different place. hard to quilt on the small machine after using a longarm

[@kathyweller9160]

Loved the bluebird quilt that was shown. I watched 6 bluebirds this morning fluttering around our backyard. I appreciated the segment about matchstick quilting. Very informative. Thank you!

[@PatSloan]

you are welcome!

[@diane3363]

Loved the information about matchstick quilting thanks Pat

[@taribramlett7279]

I am visiting my oldest daughter and she asked, "What are the quilts called that are one piece of fabric with straight lines of quilting from top to bottom?" And a few minutes later you were teaching about straight-line quilting!! She is going to choose the fabrics for the front and back and ship them to me...that will be her next quilt :) THAN YOU, PAT!!

[@PatSloan]

that is great!

[@rosewoodcreate]

I need to make the Hello Birdie quilt. My mother-in-law's name was Birdie 🐦.

[@lorriemcdonnell7027]

I definitely enjoyed learning some tips about the channel quilting Pat!

[@kimdent1637]

Matchstick quilting was interesting. You doing it one-handed was most impressive. Thanks for the tutorial. Be blessed today Miss Pat.

[@jeanmclellan1823]

I enjoyed the quilting info. I have never sent anything to a log armrest and either tie or big stitch my projects. I have done very little machine quilting so I really liked getting this info. I also do a lot of quilt as you go. Love the pumpkin projects!

[@PatSloan]

i hope you try machine quilting!

[@debbiepenalber1369]

I love it! But it would take forever!

[@nrobinson7951]

Hi Pat, the matchstick quilting is awesome. Love your pumpkins. The little ones are going to be awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@teresaericson6603]

Good morning all.

[@susanbrown1850]

I like the idea of using various widths on the matchstick quilting.

[@vikkivanveldhuizen2290]

The matchstick quilting was interesting. I may try it on a very small quilt (like a 12 x 12) block, but not a bigger quilt. 🤪. Thank you for the demonstration though. It was very interesting.

[@PatSloan]

you are welcome!

[@elainekelley6358]

Thanks for the tips on the matchstick quilting. I do quilt with a grid sometimes. If I were to do the matchstick quilting it would have to be a smaller quilt than yours😊. That would take too long. By that time at am ready to move on to the next project. Thanks for the tips though, you never know....

[@PatSloan]

once you start you might like it!

[@debraholmes6290]

Loved your matchstick demo & tips Pat. I find lessening the pressure on my presser foot works wonders but will never again reverse directions! Thank you for confirmimg that!

I love that matchbox. I have some smaller projects to quilt and think that would be good for me to practice on

[@PatSloan]

give it a try!

[@pampeterson3092]

Thanks for showing the Match stick quilting. I think I will try this and practice on something small, like maybe a mug rug or placemat. I am looking forward to seeing your white pumpkin quilt, it is going to be cute.

[@PatSloan]

Sounds great!

[@patricianewkirk2158]

Thanks for quilting tips.When you do the wave stitch do you do your lines in the same direction?

[@PatSloan]

yes i do

[@valeriebarber5302]

You are always so positive about good bad or otherwise. Matchstick quilting to me would be the definition of insanity. I loved the 1/2" . It complemented the piece. Always nice to see other ideas. Keep it up. thx

[@marlahanks7278]

I agree!! As I say "it would drive me to drink" 🤣🤣 I MIGHT could do the 1/2" on a smaller item OR the matchstick on maybe a mug rug or potholder size item.
