Fabulous video! I this is a great practice idea - I hope I can be as good as you someday. Thanks so much.
Love watching all your videos. So relaxing.
This video is the inspiration for my next quilting project. I volunteered to FMQ 2 charity quilts for my guild. I’m so excited, because this is an opportunity to learn and build my skill without the cost for fabric and batting. The first quilt is VERY bright colors with alternating 9 patch and solid print of donuts. The bright colors overpower the quilting designs, so simple is the way to go. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
You always inspire me ❤
These feathers are amazing and Your designs always are amazing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Love love love! You really inspire me 😍
Thanks for sharing. I love the feather meander and the swirl design was JUST what I was looking for....going to try it out today. Perfect timing!
This is SOOO beautiful, cant stop watching it! Think it`s the second time i watch it now, but wont be the last.. Going to do this one of these days. Thank you so much
You are welcome. I just used this project to make a cosmetic pouch...It looks great! ❤️❤️❤️
As always, beautiful work! Thank you!
Thenk you for your feedback! Always happy to hear back from my audience ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so helpful and you are very easy to follow and show the same movement many times so that I can understand it. It always seems like there is no rush and there is all the time in the world to understand the design. I'm not very co ordinated, so that is wonderful for me. I am one of those people who it takes a long time for me to get the muscle memory to complete a motif, but once I've got it, I've got it. I truly appreciate your time and the effort you put into your videos!
Thank you for your wonderful comment! Quilting is a slow art for me and also an act of rebellion against the increasing hectic of everyday life. I quilt like that on my real projects. It is my slow time. Slow doesn't mean bad or wrong. Just something to give you time to think. Sending hugs!
Guten morgen Gosia. Das sieht ja wieder toll aus! Ich habe meinen Amish Medallion Quilt jetzt startklar zum quilten und meine Maschine zickt rum. Jedes Mal, nachdem ich sie sauber gemacht habe. Ich hoffe , ich kann heute noch anfangen...ich wünsche dir einen schönen Sonntag 😊
Hallo Chirstine, es ist nicht schön, wenn die Maschine nicht funktioniert. Frech.... Ich hoffe, wir finden einen Weg, damit ich deinen Quilt sehen kann. Ich war damit beschäftigt, Anwendungen für einige meiner YT-Projekte zu finden.... es gibt so viele. Ich nenne es meinen bunten Haufen der Peinlichkeit. Aber ich habe Fortschritte gemacht.... Habt einen wundervollen und sonnigen Sonntag!
@quiltingnerd nachdem ich sie angemeldet habe und mit einem Rauswurf drohen musste läuft sie😀ich stelle es bei instagram rein, wenns fertig ist. Bin gespannt auf deine nächsten Projekte
I see you use a Janome CM7. How do you get your stitch length so consistent? What is your secret?
Hi Nicole! There is no secret. I actually explained that in one of the videos on basics of quilting. I have a Janome (M7) and I set my sewing speed to about middle. Then even if I press the pedal a lot it stays constant. When the needle speed is constant, I need to move my sandwich at a (semi) constant speed. The length of the stiches is resulting from the two factors. I take my quilting slow. What helps is a nice music I listen to vie headphones. Take a deep breath, relax and let it flow. Sure, some practice is needed, and size of your machine does matter a bit, but this is it. ❤️❤️❤️
@ Thank you for the swift reply! I always try to keep up with the chosen speed. Patience and taking it slow might just do the trick. I have a M7 too, so I should be able to become a great copycat! 😉
👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for inspiring me to practice more!! Your consistency is amazing ❤
Thank you! Please see my answer to Nicole. She commented and asked about it too. It is all about constant sewing speed and constant rate of moving the sandwich! Takes some practice, but quilting is a slow art! ❤️❤️❤️
Love feathers!!!
I agree, feathers rock! They are so incredible elegant and versatile❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful, thx.
Thank you for your feedback❤️❤️❤️
thx
Wow, thx.
Thank you! It was a fun project... I like testing things out, so I understand better what I am doing. ❤️❤️❤️
thx
Thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
You are most welcome! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely beautiful. When you have finished a piece like this do you ever use it to make something from it. If so, what would you use this one for?
Thank you! This one? I made a cosmetic bag and my husband claimed it immidiately. I will need to make a video on the fate of my projects! ❤️❤️❤️
A video on the fate of your projects would be great. Thank you for all that you do.
Beautiful designs
Thank you Robin!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is such a nice design. Thank you for explaining how to stitch it
I hope I can help. Thank you for your feedback! ❤️❤️❤️
The multiple levels of loops and curls and curves really appeal to me. And that music is THE perfect background to keep your hands flowing smoothly and evenly. Very relaxing, as well!
I love this project! It was flowing and the final complexity surprised me. It was all fluid quilting of simple elements❤️❤️❤️
This heart shape is beautiful! I never would have thought of this. Thank you! And I also always use my ruler foot.
I like the setting of ruler foot. My foot hoovers above the fabric and quilting is so smooth. And most of the time I need one or the other ruler. ❤️❤️❤️
Watching again for inspiration. Sashing for a lap sized quilt made up of 9 blocks of 21/2” squares in a 6x6 pattern. The sashing in quilted is blah!!! I like the loops. I’ll let you know when I’m finished.
Thank you for your feedback. And yes, please let me know how it went! Knowing I could help is great motivation for me! ❤️❤️❤️
I ended up using a variation of a serpentine pattern. Kinda looks like an “r” with the curve to the right elongated. Alternated right and left to fill the space and give a “bump” of texture. I haven’t washed the quilt yet to appreciate the final look once the cotton batting and fabric shrinks. I cannot thank you enough for your videos!! You give me the courage to try something new, and that keep FMQ fresh and fun for me.
@@marveldonovan5425 Thank you for the update. I love the feeling when the quilt is finished! And thank you for your words. They mean so much for me. I am happy I can provide the starting point. Rest is your achievement! ❤❤❤❤
I am now watching all your videos which are exceptional. I would love to know which machine you are using .
Dear Helen, Thank you for your feedback! I am always happy to hear my videos may help to quilt or to relax. As for my machine, I have a Janome M7. It is a large sewing machine. Previously I quilted with a Horizon and was very happy with it. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you for your comment!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait to try this! So beautiful!!!!
Please do. the basic behind many of the feathers is the same. Once you get it, it is all about adding some elements for decoration❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful feathers. May I ask what weight thread are you using and do you have a favorite brand? Not sure why but the thread looks a little thicker in the video. Thanks much. 😊
Thank you for your feedback. I do not have a favorite. Or let me say it tat way: yellow :) This one is a polyester quilting thread (Wonderfil) so is is 40 wt. ❤️❤️❤️
You 😅said you were making a pouch from this practice. Could you please show us what it will look like. Thank you so much for your videos. I love them so much.
Hi there! I admit, this one is still whole. But I cut 9 of my YT projects and three are sewn into cosmetic pouches. I never have enough time! Happy quilting ! ❤️❤️❤️
You need to have “Inspiration” as your middle name! Your steady movements, calm talking and guiding us as we watch! Thank you for entertaining and inspiring us! From Augusta, Maine….USA
Thank you most kindly. 😊 Inspiration sounds nice. I am trying to provide enough of solid material that others can learn and get the real impression on quilting. I am very happy to share my ideas. It is a bit paying back❤️❤️❤️
Thank you this was so beautiful and so relaxing to watch. Can’t wait to see the next video.
Thank you most kindly. There will be at least one more of this kind. ❤️❤️❤️
Wunderschön ❤❤❤❤
Dankeschön! Das war sehr dramatishes video und Project. ❤️❤️❤️
Very good for we who are visual learners!!
I am very happy you like it! ❤️❤️❤️
SIMPLY BRILLIANT! I have struggled and struggled and struggled (did I mention I struggle??) trying to make my swirls look good. Not perfect. Just good. They are mediocre. Your video dissects the swirl construction and demonstrates step by step the best way to improve muscle memory so the swirls look good (or maybe even close to perfect in my world) and a nice smooth texture is created on my quilt project. THANK YOU!!!
Happy to help. when I learn something new I try different things. It is a bit like with writing, or reading something. Sometimes we need a bit different approach to make it click.... The Acha moment, I call it like that. Thank you for giving me this incredible feedback!!!! Keep me posted, please. ❤❤❤
Stunningly beautiful!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you most kindly!
You say your feathers make you happy but my heart is just filled with joy watching you do this!!❤ You are not just a quilter you're an artist... You have to have vision on how to put it together and know where to go big and where to small... You on my favorite FMQ to watch. I find watching your video some meditating... I am just starting with FMQing... I can't tell you how much you have helped me to get over the fear... And I have stopped and taken out stitches when I'm not happy with the stitches... But my stitching has so improved from watching you You are so terribly inspiring!!❤❤ Thank you so much for sharing!!!❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! You just made my day. I am so happy to hear that I provided this little push so you could start your quilting adventure. The world needs more quilters. You will also learn about the texture and patterns and develop your instinct. It takes some time and many silly projects. For me, this is an unexpected benefit of having a YT channel. Some of my videos do not gat that many views. I am earning a bit but what is more important I am motivated to try another idea. I am learning the same way you are. Sending you hugs and best wishes - Gosia
Such beautiful quality!!!
Thank you! This one turned out great. I finished it binding and all....All elements were playing along, the pattern, colors, quilting.... 😍❤️❤️❤️
Great video as usual showing the differences between the feather constructions. What I liked most though was your wonderful words of wisdom today about relaxing, comparison and expectations. It’s something I try to tell my students but you put it so beautifully. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. These are very important aspects when learning something new. You are right telling that to your students. social media shows us that everything is quick and easy. It is not. Skill needs time and love and work. So I keep repeating that. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for producing this lesson. This is excellent and very easy to understand. I will be following this series. New subscriber.
Welcome aboard! I hope you will find many helpful videos here ❤️❤️❤️
I love your quilting! Fabulous lesson! I recently purchased an M7 and I'm wondering what determines the foot you use when you are doing free motion quilting. I see you're using a ruler foot here. Is there a reason you're not using one of the other ones for this feather?
I wish you tons of fun with M7. I am a big fun of Janome. About your question: I used ruler foot because I quilted lines between the video sections. when I know I need ruler for my quilting, I use ruler foot. the free motion quilting feet are for fmq quilting. From my point of view, you can use also the ruler foot for that. It is just the question of preferences. And the hopping foot is for patchwork with many seams.... I don't like it as it slows me down...❤️❤️❤️
Feathers are my all time favorite design! I would love to see more videos on feathers! Thank you! I so look forward to your videos!
Wish granted. Next video on two more feathers (modifications) comes on Wednesday. ❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous lesson on feathers. I was mesmerized watching you sees and your voice is so soothing. Thank you.
Wow! Thank you most kindly. I do not like my own voice but I am glad to hear your compliment! I made one additional video and have an idea for at least one more ❤️❤️❤️
