Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

It is all aboriginal fabric produced by M&S Textiles, Australia. The Fabric Merchant in Joplin, Missouri carries it. I am not sure what other shops do.

That is a great question. I didn't. I cannot recall for certain, but I think I may have cropped the bottom. When I crop the bottom of an inside E2E, I have to be careful to make sure my marking points are falling perfectly within the stitch in the ditch area. It is not as difficult as doing the sides because I am only doing it for one row - the last one. Of course, it would have looked so much better overall if there had been no cropping. To do that, I would have needed to measure the height of the inside and used that in my area rather than my usual 30 or 35 inches. Then I would have subtracting 1/4 to 1/2 inch on that area. Not at all accuracy there but, rather, a guess. I would do that because quilting itself pulls at the fabric and makes the quilt top shorter than it starts out. I would then lay out the entire panto graph. would have to play around with the sizing again to get it to all fit. AT THIS POINT, nothing is certain. As I quilt down and only have three rows left, I would remeasure what I have left and how that compares to the design height size. Rather than waiting until the last row, I want to start at the 3rd row so I can redistribute any size adjustments I have to make so one row won't look different. I may need to readjust the height of the last three rows. I can also add or subtract some gap between rows. Even after all this, I could possibly have to end up cropping. It is tricky but can be done. You just have to be aware that messing with sizes is coming and don't wait till the end row. This is one more GREAT thing about working with border to border, though. It all falls in a straight line, but doesn't look perfectly straight with all the curves to your design, so it does not have to fall perfectly as close to each edge as all the other edges. As long as it is close, your eye will make the adjustments when looking at it to make it all look great. This has been lengthy, but could be another tutorial in itself. Definitely not easy to fit things perfectly within heights. Thanks for asking.

I don't but I will check with my customer and post another reply.

I talked to my customer. She said she bought it years ago at Charlotte's quilt shop in Newton, Kansas, but can't recall what it is. She looked on the selvedge and the strips she had did not have the information to identify it. I am sorry I can't give a name.

Thank you so much for commenting.

Thank you! 😊

Glad to hear from you, Elloise.

Oh wow. I appreciate that.

Thanks for the compliment. I am laughing in my head that you used the word perfect for me. Every mistake you are making with your ProStitcher, I probably made too. We all start at the beginning and learn from all those mistakes we make.

It is Glide, color is Military Gold.

You are so welcome.

Sometimes the smallest, simplest things can help. Thanks for watching.

You’re welcome 😊Thanks for watching and commenting.

That is why it is important to first: Crop between start and stop. When you do that, you delete out that previous row that dips down and are only left with what you need. Always crop between start and stop. THEN, draw your area box and crop outside area box, closing ends.

Thanks for sharing. Love to hear about what is enjoyed by others.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching.

Thanks. I agree; there is so much to consider.

I appreciate the comment.

I am so glad to hear from you.

That makes me happy. Sharing with one another is so important to all of our successes in this quilting passion of ours.

Thanks for watching!

Cool. I've heard the people who have Bernina love it.

You made my day. Thanks.

I am so glad to hear this.

The ruler I most often use is the 4-N-1 Ruler by Piece N Quilt. Another one I used here is the Sway 4, also found on PieceNQuilt.com. I will just mention that I also love all of the curved rulers by The Quilted Pineapple. I have all of hers.

No matter what thread I use in the bobbin, I first set the bobbin tension. Using a Towa Guage, I set it just below 200, about 190. The way that feels in my hand is that it doesn’t easily glide out. Rather, I have to bounce it ever so slightly to have the thread start coming out of the bobbin. Then I set top tension after that.

@@JuliePettyjohn I will invest in a towa gauge. Do you have a video on a Dream Big panel? I'd love to do one but need to see how to add designs before I purchase.

@@doloresmurphy4204 I did a video once of free motion on a Dream Big, but I have not done one using ProStitcher. I believe AdamSewFun did a video using designs from A But Orange. See if you can find it.

There are always multiple ways of doing things. Experiment and see what you like. I would rather not get into that, myself, because when I flip a row, it usually does not land perfectly horizontally. That means I need to make that row longer and move it to the left or to the right. That will involve more cropping and possibly moving the start point. It just gets to be a lot more things to change to get it to fit perfectly. Additionally, if I then repeat, I have another flipped row. So I would once again have to copy and paste. It feels, (to me anyway) like a lot more work to build a new design than to work with what I have. But you definitely are getting the possibilities of PSP because there are many ways of accomplishing something.

I am so glad you thought to comment. I was a school teacher who fell in love with quilting. I will never lose my passion for teaching, so this is my way to combine quilting and teaching. Please let me know if there is an area of quilting you would most like to see. And have fun creating.

Thank you. Glad to hear it.

I have a Handi Quilter Amara 20". It is the 20 inch, but of course that's not how much throat space I have. I think 15-16. I never do designs taller than 14"; that's my safe zone.

I appreciate your comment. Glad you have found something on my channel worthwhile. I have been swamped filling Christmas orders and haven't been ab le to get a video done lately. I will get back to it soon. Thanks again.

Great. I love doing videos. Finding time is always the challenge, right? But embroidery, creating pretty much anything, is SO MUCH FUN!

I think it is so much fun to combine our art interests too. I also have a Scan N Cut. I have a monthly membership with Julie Fey Fan Balzer and absolutely love her monthly webinars. I am fascinated with all the things the Scan N Cut does. I used it to cut fabric for Hawaiin raw edge applique - my first time to ever attempt Hawaiian. (I was told (nicely???) at a retreat that they should have been needle turned instead of raw edge.) The things I love about the quilt are: 1) it is personal to me and 2) I combined some of the things I love: a) quilting, b) foundation paper piecing, c) applique, d) embroidery, and e) used the Scan N Cut, and f) it represented a trip with family. - - You may notice I jump from one topic to another quickly, just like I jump from one machine to another and one art from to another. But I do believe in keeping life fun. Thanks for commenting.

@@JuliePettyjohn Perfect. Jump all you want. Lol
