Wanted to thank you for your videos. Although I do not have a long arm, I am learning to free motion quilt on my sewing machine. Your work has given me new ideas for quilting patterns and I have benefited from watching you work with rulers. Thanks for taking the time to do the videos!
I was waiting for your beautiful feathers and there they are! Another gorgeous quilt turned into an elegant one. I love all your designs and have treated myself to your books, especially the one on feathers. Thank you taking the time to put these videos out. It gives hope to us lesser mortals.😊
Hi Natalia I know you said these You Tubes are not tuts but I quilted a quilt using rulers by watching you..saying to myself 'that will work' running out to my machine..marking and ruler working a piece...coming back..watching more..getting another idea..and away I went..first 'Ruler' quilt I had ever done (being new at long arm) so so pleased with the result. The quilt is going into a show here in New Zealand later this year...Thank you
I was stuck on a quilt and you have inspired me! Yet again!! I’m signing up for your online scallops class. Thank you for all your video education! You rock the quilting world 😎
I, too, would love to know how you measure for borders and how you figure out what will fit. Is this a class you offer, or could you do a UA-cam video on some pointers? I am addicted to your videos, have purchased your rulers, books just trying to soak up as much info as possible. Thank you for ALL you do to help and inspire.
There is something so peaceful about just listening to the sound of your machine. It's the same with our own. I enjoy watching you do your beautiful work and I've gotten alot of ideas of what I can do on my own quilts. Thank you Natalia!
I too hope this is on your Patreon page. I am wondering if you can share how you mark and figure out the size/placement of your border arcs. I've learned so much from you and love all your videos. Your ruler work has inspired me to up my ruler practice and work. Thanks
You all probably dont care but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Jayson Riley thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you immensely for sharing your videos. You have inspired me to dive in and just do it! I have always been intimidated with my longarm when it comes to free motion and ruler work.......you have helped me get out of my comfort zone. I have recently bought both of you rulers and I am interested in purchasing the long curve rulers you're using in this video......can you share info on the sizes? Once again, thank you!!!!
You are so talented! I love how easy you make it look. I thought of a question on the way to church this morning that I wanted to ask you but it doesn’t pertain to this quilt So here it is. Again I just start using my long arm. How do you piece batting or have you ever had to piece batting for a quilt and how. Thank you again for sharing your time and talent.
I think I’ve watched all of your videos and love them all. You’re such an inspiration to me. Question: Have you done a video that I’ve missed on how to calculate how many, say, scallops will fit across the border? I saw one where you’re covering borders and it’s an even measurement and so you did it by two inch increments, but this one you’re showing now is two different sizes. Also, when doing a continuous feather around entire outer border, what’s your method for marking quilt to evenly space spine? I’ve seen some videos where there’s markings through center of border and when it gets to corners it looks like hatch marks. Would love your feedback or a video. TIA
Great questions! I actually teach all about scalloped borders in my online class, Let's Stitch Scallops, piecenquilt.com/collections/classes/products/1135448?variant=39822670299322 I also teach all about feathers in my online class, Visual Guide to Free-Motion Quilting Feathers, piecenquilt.com/collections/classes/products/1133877?variant=39664043458746
I have my longarm set down as far as it will go (APQS) - I'm short so the front belly bar is slightly above the belly button. I noticed that your height is about at the chest. This looks like you have more visibility around the needle. Is there recommendations anywhere for the height of the bars? Or do you have any recommendations?
When I started out quilting my machine was about that height. I think that's what most recommend. I found however, that'I'm a lot more comfortable to have my machine/table set a lot higher. I don't have near the back pain that I did when it was lower and I feel like I have a bit more control. :)
Natalia, this is a lovely design you are doing. I'm wondering how you quilt the side borders. Do you turn the quilt or are you able to quilt the borders sideways?
Just wondering how close to the edge should I quilt the design ? It appears to me you are quite close, wouldn't the binding cover the design or are you keeping that in mind as you are quilting ?
Always leave at least 1/4" for binding. :) With the straight lines I do quilt those completely off the edge because I want those to go into the binding. :)
When you change thread colors on the top do you change them to the same color on the bottom and if so is there all kind of colors in the bottom line I know there is in So Fine but I'm not sure about the bottom line
I have tried two times to email you about the class you are offering the beginners guide to free motion quilting but it returns back to me. I already own all of your books and would like to take the class can I use pay pal and if so how do I do that without paying again for the book?
Hi Fran, I'm so sorry that it has returned back to you. Yes, I can send you an invoice via paypal. The class tuition is discounted to $175 if you already own the book. :) Did you email nataliabonner2@gmail.com? If you want to email me there I can get you registered. :)
I always wondered how my kids can watch other people play video games. I understand now. I love watching you quilt!
Ha! I never got it either, but I bet you're totally right! 🤯🧡🧡
This is my favourite long arm quilting video of all time. Thank you for continually inspiring your viewers with your tremendous talent.
I love how you give so much of yourself to help others.Thank you.

What a pretty border! Gorgeous.
I ordered your rulers. I am so excited to start using them on my mid arm sit down. I am enjoying your videos

So gorgeous! I have a block of the month that I’m almost finished with and I do wish I could have you quilt your magic onto it! Thank you for sharing!
I would love to quilt it for you! :)
Love that border design , so interesting
Love your quilting, it's amazing !!!
How did you work out what size, length your arches needed to be to fit the borders?
Once again, a pleasure. 8-)
Love your work

Thank you! I've done it a few times and I prefer batting tape. :)
Natalia Bonner Never heard of batting the. Where can you purchase it and do you attach it to both sides?
That should have said batting tape

Natalia Bonner thanks, I’m going to try it raised.
Judy, my belly bar is my boob bar! I don't want to bend!
Love it!!!
Beautiful job! I love this quilt. Can you share where I can get the pattern?
Beautiful
Very pretty.
Sew amazing! ❤️
Natalia, this is a lovely design you are doing. I'm wondering how you quilt the side borders. Do you turn the quilt or are you able to quilt the borders sideways?
I try to never turn a quilt, unless my life depends on it! :) haha! I just quilted it in sections. :)
BREATHTAKING!
Thank you!
I love this quilt pattern. Is it one of yours?
What curve are you using in this video?
Just wondering how close to the edge should I quilt the design ? It appears to me you are quite close, wouldn't the binding cover the design or are you keeping that in mind as you are quilting ?
Always leave at least 1/4" for binding. :) With the straight lines I do quilt those completely off the edge because I want those to go into the binding. :)
When you change thread colors on the top do you change them to the same color on the bottom and if so is there all kind of colors in the bottom line I know there is in So Fine but I'm not sure about the bottom line
Yes, unless it's a light pastel color. So on this quilt I'm using green on top and bottom.
Natalia Bonner are there lots of colors in the bottom line that you use in the bobbin
Yes, I've only got a few listed on my site but I can get any color for you that you'd like. Just email me, nataliabonner2@gmail.com
I have tried two times to email you about the class you are offering the beginners guide to free motion quilting but it returns back to me. I already own all of your books and would like to take the class can I use pay pal and if so how do I do that without paying again for the book?
Hi Fran,
I'm so sorry that it has returned back to you. Yes, I can send you an invoice via paypal. The class tuition is discounted to $175 if you already own the book. :)
Did you email nataliabonner2@gmail.com? If you want to email me there I can get you registered. :)
Also are you going to be at the Houston International Quilt Show this year? Booth?
I won't be there this year. :)
Natalia Bonner, too bad.
It would have been nice to meet you.
What was the ruler you used? I really loved the results.
It's a curved ruler by The Quilted Pineapple. :)
you area a talent
Lovely! What machine are you on? APQS?
Thank you! I do all of my machine quilting on a Gammill 22" machine.
Do you quilt in regulated mode most of the time? I have an ancient unregulated gammill
I do!
