    Okay, I can see already that you have something attached to the frame that doesn't come with the frame. To camera right, there are two blue bars. To camera left she is adding clamps that are not part of the Cutie Frame package. I'm seeing the need for additional clamps in all the videos I have viewed so far. Off to Harbor Freight for clamps. I'm regretting more and more my haste to purchase a Cutie Frame. And now, they've upgraded the frame. What's with the blue painter's tape? And the rubber bands? The frame is easy enough to assemble. I don't think there are adequate warnings about the adjustments necessary to fit the machine onto the frame. The videos make it all look so easy. I'm going to be taking lessons on a long arm at a local quilting store.

    • @christiespeich6537
      @christiespeich6537 9 місяців тому

      The clamps on the left side just hold that side taut while quilting. Grace sells bungee clips to accomplish that purpose, but I did a DIY to save money. You could eliminate the need for clips altogether by pinning extra fabric on the sides of the quilt and using the blue clamps that came with the frame. That's a completely $0 cost solution. The blue tape on my clamps just give me a visual of how far to the side I can quilt. I'm not sure what rubber bands you are referring to? I'm also not sure what you mean about the "adjustments necessary to fit the machine onto the frame"....what machine are you using and what adjustments are you finding necessary? I'm sorry to hear you are regretting purchasing your Cutie. I really love mine. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you learn to love your Cutie.

    Loved your video. Could you please share a link to the side clamps and toggle cords you use? They look so much easier than what I’ve been using. You make a big quilt seem do-able without all the hassle of basting. One more question. Do you ever use pantographs? And how would this change how you load your quilt. Maybe you have a video on this? Thanks in advance.

    • @christiespeich6537
      @christiespeich6537 Рік тому

      I just used stuff I already had. The toggles are these: joann.app.link/bEnbLC5MNBb (probably available on amazon too), the cord is elastic cording, and the clips I had from a photo backdrop set but they are similar to these Heavy Duty Muslin Clamps 4 1/2 inch 6 Pack a.co/d/4ybPsVs Hope this helps!

    • @christiespeich6537
      @christiespeich6537 Рік тому

      I don't do pantographs but I think the only thing I would do differently is take the time to make sure the quilt was as perfectly straight in the hoop. Then when shifting the quilt, I would drop the needle and use channel locks to make sure it stays straight. Grace now sells channel locks for the Cutie but you can also use Handiquilter's channel locks (you can see one hanging in the handle of my Q'nique.) Moving to the next row would be a little more challenging because you'd have to move just the right amount forward and also make sure you hoop the quilt straight. Also depending on the pantograph pattern you may want to do all the rows left to right instead of alternating between left to right and right to left. To me, having to hoop that carefully is not worth it. I prefer to freehand and use rulers and do what's called "custom quilting" rather than pantographs or edge to edge designs. Stitched by Susan is a good channel to watch for learning how to freehand edge to edge designs. Angela Walters is great for learning how to freehand more custom style. Hope this helps!

I was still intimidated after reading how to load and such but actually watching someone do it makes me feel confident about it.

    • @christiespeich6537

      I just looked up the prices on the 19x and elite and holy cow! I also bought my Q19 recertified and have had no trouble with it. No regrets at all. It doesn’t have the bobbin estimator or the edge detector but I’ve been fine without those features. Nice to have, sure, but not necessary. If I were buying a machine right now, I’d buy the recertified Q19 because I don’t feel the new features are worth such a huge price difference. Recertified machines go fast and aren’t always available so you might want to jump on that deal. On the other hand, Grace’s spring fling is next month and they will have sales… but who knows what the sales will be. Often they bundle several items with the machine for free. I’m not a professional quilter either, and I love my Q19 and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
