What a very informative video, thank you 😊.
Ummm... Did you receive permission from Wendy to show her entire pattern on this video?
@@DorothyField I'm not showing her entire pattern and often refer to where to purchase her pattern. This is a very reasonable question. And yes, I did reach out to Ms Williams (on her website www.flyingfishkits.com) for her permission.
I don’t understand where you buy the fabric from?
@@Letsbhonest0828 I bought the ticking fabric for this set and the broadcloth for another set at Hobby Lobby.
How do I drop the feed dogs, the manual is not clear on this. Help please
@@ethelgranger8152 you take off the small tray that came on your machine to find the feed dogs switch on the back of the machine.
How do you cut the thread at the end of a stitch? I pulled my bobbin to the top at the beginning but can’t figure out how to end my stitch
@@christinamcginnis903 tie a small square knot and then thread the tails through a needle and bury them in the quilt body.
how do I make one of those weight bags?
@@TonySharonHolm cut 4" x 10-12" cotton. Then sew a pouch, fill loosely with seed beads, beans, etc and the sew closed.
for the rebel which holes should we use.
@@jaymestamper6151 I used the second set of holes. When I have the ruler base on, I use the third set to give more vertical space.
I am so happy to have found this video! I got this machine for a high school graduation present in 1977. I still use this to this day. I have been shopping for a new machine to start quilting now that I have retired. But I have no idea what to shop for because I love my machine!
@@kathymolholm4317 this machine was the grand dame of its day. Well cared for, this machine should run for as many decades as my 77 year old Featherweight. These all-metal sewing machines are amazing!
@@quiltingonathreadBecause you understand why I love my machine, I am wondering if you can recommend a machine for quilting. Unless I can quilt on the machine I have, I have been looking at a Babylock Jazz 2 that is on sale.
@@kathymolholm4317 the Jazz II is very mechanical ... But you're already on a more mechanical machine...so I think the user error issues others have are not going to be an issue for you! I used my Jazz II for 2 years and loved it. I bought another machine and sadly had to make room. 😂
Thank you for all the great information
Thank you so much for these informative videos. I will be receiving my Cutie Breeze and Little Rebel next week and I am trying to learn as much possible about them so I do not feel intimidated.
@@christinamcginnis903 it doesn't have to be intimidating...but many of us are not comfortable with new things. And going from DMW (domestic machine wrestling) to frame quilting of any kind is definitely NEW!
Can you use this with a sewing machine that has a smaller throat that yours does, for example mine has a 8 inch throat. Will it work the same way? Thank you
@@rebeccamulkern1051 yes, you can. The original Cutie (discontinued) and the Cutie Breeze were made just for that. Home-based quilters can use their domestic machines or use a quilting machine. On my original Cutie, I started out with a BabyLock Jazz II and a Brother PQ1500SL (also 8" throat). These two machines hooked me in the convenience of the Cutie frames! You can join the Cutie Quilters group for lots of advice from those of us using these frames! facebook.com/share/g/uy53Zjm51ZyhK8ou/?mibextid=A7sQZp
@@quiltingonathread thank you so much for your reply, it’s out of my league at the moment financially but it looks good , especially for free motion quilting big quilts. I can only quilt my big quilts with a walking foot and mostly a grid pattern, I limit my FMQ for smaller, wall quilts. I would love to have a longarm but I’ll never be able to afford one of those plus I have no space in my house for it, but the cutie breeze can be put away , so it’s definitely better for me. Love your videos on this machine, you really explain everything and take your time showing us 💕
Do you use the edge warning system on your Qnique?
@@proud2bktsmama I have the basic Q19. None of the X or X Elite options. I have the edge warning equivalent on another OEM machine and I hardly use it. I do think it would be more useful on a hoop frame than my 10ft rolling system, with automation.
Where do you get the elastic straps for holding the fabric?
@@CVermonT1 the elastic straps are pare of the frame itself. These are on the original Cutie and the Q-Zone and Q-Zone Pro.
I just got my Cutie Breeze frame. Still in it's box waiting on my new sewing machine I'm so glad I came across your video. I'm very sure this will help me start my beginning. Thank you so much.
@@renedamilbourn8653 I'm sure you will do fine. Join the Cutie Quilters Facebook group for help from other Cutie users!!!
Very good suggestion and very helpful
How do you end and CUT your thread using the little rebel in quilt mode?
@@lizgarcia6203 you pull the thread to the top, tie off and bury the threads... I'll put out a general video on this....
In my video I call out the Little Rebel ...I actually meant the Cutie Breeze. Ooops😂
I have the 21. But I think I can use your information and apply it to my machine. Thank you very much for your instruction. I really appreciate it.
@@neselain you can use this same method, with modifications to your machine. I've helped others to oil their different models of Q'nique machines.
Is there any way you can have a stitch regulator with this, even if your sewing machine doesn’t have it and can’t have it as an accessory?
@@rebeccamulkern1051 the Grace Company sells the SureStitch Elite Regulator that works for many machines and attaches to the carriages.

Good morning Bonnie, getting up, making a coffee, switch on the computer and see this video! Bonnie- you make my day!!! Your idea with the zip ties is phenomenal! Thank you so much and a huge hug from the other side of the ocean
@@Janome-Fan you're welcome!
Thanks for this video I love the thread marking idea. I am new to the cutie and I got a ruler plate in a bundle with the machine. Do you keep yours on your machine for more stability? It looks like a good idea. Also do you baste larger projects like a lap quilt? It would be nice not to have to baste anymore!! Thanks again!
@@carold1280 I have never taken my ruler base off of the Q'nique 19. I baste the top when I load a quilt on the frame. Basting before I bring the quilt to the frame depends on the quilt. I have several videos on how I create my sandwiches.
Hi Bonnie, we can’t adjust the Carriage Stops on the Cutie Breeze, nothing works in a sucessful way. I like to place the Little Rebel on the Cutie Breeze. Is it possible for you to make a video how you install these two black Carriage Stops Rings? That would be very helpful for me- perhaps for others users too - and pictures tells more than words. Your videos are so helpful, I cannot say how thankful I am for your work! Best regards from Germany
@@Janome-Fan I just created a video for this ... ua-cam.com/video/jdtl9KJ3GgA/v-deo.htmlsi=RJNgkltmu0TZxQ4h
Hi I watched you start the assembling of your cutie breeze and I’m wondering what dimensions your table were, like length and depth, that might help me decide whether I should buy one of these frame, your help would be appreciated.
@@sdcgren6301 this table is the Husky 52" Workbench, available at Home Depot. The table is 52" x 24". The height is adjustable using a crank on the right front of the table.
Thank you. I will be following you extensively as you are very informative and helpful and I am 65 and learning how to do all of this and I feel like I can do it after I watch your videos.
@@gelyse71 Thank YOU. I taught sewing and quilting for many years, so these videos are a bit of an extension to that.
Bonnie, most of the time my bobbins wind just fine. Sometimes though, there is a bulge of thread in the middle as opposed to a cone. What might cause that?
If tension on the winding mechanism is slightly too loose or the thread is not completely seated this could happen.
Thanks. I'll take a look at those
How big a space do you need, it seems to be sticking out a fair way.
I reserve a 6ft x 6ft area for the frame and my working area. That's more than is needed, but this way there are no surprises...
I’ve yet to see the frame actually being used with a domestic machine.
I started out with the Jazz II...fell in love with the Cutie Frame BECAUSE it worked so well with the BabyLock Jazz II. I later acquired a Brother PQ1500SL and original SureStitch. The videos I shot with those two machines are only available in my face look group (Cutie Quilters). I only upgraded to the Q'nique after becoming really skilled at using the frame with those two DOMESTIC machines.
Thank you for the video. I've taken my machine to the repairer's shop already. Yet, my needle isn't picking up the bobbin thread. The handwheel also gets stiff at times, causing the driver to get dislocated. Please, what else can I do? It's tiring.
@@temiladefafure9878 let's let you repair shop diagnose the issue. Without actually seeing the machine my suggestions would be all over the place. My first thought is that you may have a thread caught.
Thank you for sharing this. Does it need to be adjusted right out of the box?
@@tatyana.mikina Not normally. Both of my Little Rebels bobbin winders were perfectly set at factory.
What numbers do you have on the black risers please, I am trying to set up my new little rebel on cutie breeze. Loving your videos, really helping me. BIG thank you. I am in UK 🇬🇧
@@sandrafoulds4899 My "black risers" are set on 4. I'm glad the videos are helping you out.
I thank you for all of these videos! I have learned so much helpful information that I did not know about !!! I have the new cutie brezze and the little rebel!
@@janiepalmertree7447 I'll keep them coming.
Dear Bonnie, Thank you very much for your very detailed explanatory videos for the Little Rebell and the Cutie Breeze. There is very little information about them here in Germany. I have now ordered the Rebell and Breeze because of your videos. Keep up the good work!
@@Janome-Fan you're so welcome. I also have two Facebook groups that you may find helpful. Cutie Quilters for the Cutie Breeze: facebook.com/share/nMN2Y75SYkdifVoW/?mibextid=A7sQZp Little Rebel Sewing/Quilting Machine for the Little Rebel: facebook.com/share/EGgz97vC88S4Q2ig/?mibextid=A7sQZp
@@quiltingonathread Thank you very much for the invitation!
I cant hear you
@@thumper21998 this was one of my earlier videos, so I was still adjusting my space to o make it work. You might find turning on closed captions helps.
I will be making myself a set of these in the next few days!
Bonnie, do you use leader cloths with your Cutie?
Another very helpful video. Thank you Bonnie!
Where did you buy your table where you set your cutie breeze frame?
@@bambisalazar1559 this is the Husky 52" Workbench, with drawers, available from Home Depot. When I bought it, it was $235. It's available without drawers also.
Great Video, Bonnie. I have been having problems with my bobbin turning or starting. I'm going to check out to see where it lines up at and maybe that will solve the problem.
Where did you get your weights or do you have measurements for making a set, great idea! Also, I note that you have your laser attached on the top rail and wondered how you use it?
@@lynnquast9205 I made these weights myself. I used a 12" x 4" piece of material for each and filled them with seed beads, rice or beans. (I have several sets of them.) The laser was initially attached to the top of the chariot bars and I was using that to drop a laser dot where my needle on my Allegro was, since I'm very nearsighted. This helped me to see where I was working.
Why does my thread on top keep breaking
@@gwenmangelson The most common reasons for thread breaking on top are: 1) old thread 2) wrong type of thread for the project (not well suited to the material you are working with) 3) damaged needle (probably the top reason and most difficult to find the first time) 4) tension issues 5) improperly threaded 6) bobbin not installed completely/correctly 7) debris in the machine or tension discs 8) damaged bobbin or bobbin case 9) damaged needle plate. I know that's quite a list, but with a high speed machine, quality of parts and usage becomes very detailed.
Where should my Jazz 2 sit on the chariot upgraded top, I have not found any information on how to center/position my machine to move forward? Your videos are so helpful and that is one spot I am struggling with.
@@lynnquast9205 the weight of your Jazz II is in the back, so center the machine with the rear of the machine completely on the chariot plate. Your front will hang off the plate of the chariot, but that's not going to be a problem. Also, 2 things to keep in mind...you will want the front rail adjusted out farther (to accommodate the front hanging off) and you don't need the back machine tabs....the weight of the machine is enough.
Just ordered my Wonder foot. Looking forward to use it in so many ways. Thanks!
@@astridmontes5867 I've enjoyed mine. I need to post another video! My favorite use is using it as a "glide" when outlining appliqued pieces!
This was just the info I was looking for! You've done the prep work and then explained what you did so clearly. Thank you so much, I appreciate you!
@@ladaynehardage946 You're welcome. I try to make sure my videos provide the information needed as completely as possible.
Thank you so much! I just got the bungee clips today and was able to put them on thanks to your great video!😊🎉
WOW!!! Thanks for this video. I will watch it several times.
Thanks for such a great and instructional video
stupid question: in one of your videos you were wearing an Ocean City NJ top , are you from the area or just visiting? I grew up about 25 minutes from there. Just wondering.
@@judithschuler427 my husband is from New Jersey. We visit the area throughout the year and do a family vacation in Ocean City at least once a year.

Good video.. When you installed your lower encoder did the longer encoder screw fit into the cutie wheel screw hole? The encoder screw that came with my Qnique 15 is to long
@@dennyr989 I got my Q'nique 19 about 3 years ago.... I don't remember if the screw was too long. If it was, I would have used the original screw or I would have inserted a washer. If I had had an issue, I would have documented it and I don't see that noted in my install kit....
@@quiltingonathread Thank you….
Just curious, did you find that the 12 inch leader cloth that you made originally was inadequate? I’m thinking 16 might be too deep. What are your thoughts ?
