    The only original i dea that I have seen for free motion quilting in years! No kidding. I need to get going on multiple tops and went looking for some inspiration and motivation. I got it! A million thanks.

    Love, love, love this method of FMQ. I don’t have a problem of what to quilt, I have a problem of where to go next and this method takes the guess work out of it. Now I can concentrate on making more accurate designs and not worry about getting stuck in a corner. Thank you so much for sharing this unique, and easy, method of FMQ. Love it!

    @rosemarymuntus8991 5 років тому +2

    Excellent lesson, I am of to do a nice curly border. I love the evenness of your speed control (which I need to work on) and the use of the chalk line. I think it needs practice to be ahead of the line so that we are confident enough to sew round the lines effectively.

    • @HelenGoddenQuilts
      @HelenGoddenQuilts 4 роки тому

      Mylo Sanders probably about 50 but I normally quilt at 70 or more. Speed is not the goal but a consequence of practice and confidence.

    Please, Helen, could you share more about the marker you are using? I see water=soluable chalk pencils and heat-disappearing ink pens available, but I'd like to know more about the one used in the video.

  • @IKatchSkams
    @IKatchSkams 4 роки тому

    Do you give VIRTUAL instructions???
    I am geographically challenged. A road map - huh. I've gone on road trips trying to read a map with the window open...yeah, out the window it goes.
    That last road map, I got the drawing part. When you started quilting along...I got literally lost. Couldn't follow the path. But loved it.
    I will do this...I will do this...I will do this.
