Me too! For adding my batting, I use a 9mm bridging stitch (it looks kind of like a bracket) to help distribute the stitching so it doesn't flatten or pucker. But now I'll also incorporate your thinner thread idea! I'd love to look more into the Little Foot Frame and the Little Buddy as my next step up. Great way to make use of a smaller work space! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks Debbie. I’ve been using this technique (QAYG) on large quilts since getting my Little Buddy attachment on my Little Foot Frame with great success. Love my Little Foot Frame with LB accessory, to me it is the best of both worlds. Greeting from Australia
I have quilted dozens of queen and king size on my Little Foot. It works without having to cut it up! I do the middle third and then move to the right third then the left third. It works great if you are careful.
@@ninadukette3340I’m just learning about the Little Foot and Little Buddy. I didn’t think that the little buddy would help me to do larger quilts, but to avoid the clamping on smaller quilts that fit the frame. Tell me more!!
FYI-I love my Little foot frame and little buddy, but I also ordered another wheel and attached to belly bar. I reversed the lock mechanism so I can tighten and loosen each wheel separately. Now it works like a big frame and both bars work together and you do not have to manually turn the belly to load a quilt. It is wonderful and was not very expensive. Easy to do, and it works great. I also use bar magnets when free falling top and batting. Very efficient. Ordered online. About 14-16” long
I would like to thank you, I had purchased the "little buddy" for my Moxie and suddenly, I was unhappy. However, with this video and my note taking, I am back in love with my little buddy. Many, many, thanks.
Thank you! I’m going to quilt my next quilt like this on my treadle machine. I always wanted to quilt in sections but I never liked the coping strips. So thank you very much!
I have a quilt made for my previous bed, that is now too small for my current bed - switched from Cal king to regular king. I plan to add borders using this method. I just wasn't sure whether to quilt the borders before adding them. Now I am ready to attempt the process this way.
The HQ Simply Sixteen and the HQ Little Foot Frame is a popular combination for those with limited studio space who still want a movable longarm! It’s the best of both worlds. Even in a small space, you can still quilt a king size quilt!
I am doing my research because I want a long arm for personal reasons. After watching this video, I can't see the benefit of buying the sweet 16 and frame if I have to quilt it sections. I can do that on my domestic machine. Can you explain why I would still want to buy it?
Not having to fight the quilt to move it around on the domestic. It's why I bought my Moxie, after doing a lap quilt size. Im glad I have an 8 foot frame so that I won't have to go this route often, but I can when I make King size quilts.
Thank you 👍🏼 I am actually working on a LARGE quilt as you go right now❣️ But I am still considering upgrading my frame what are my best options for a eight foot frame
If you have a movable longarm quilting machine, the HQ Little Foot Frame is perfect for quilting in a small space. handiquilter.com/product/hq-little-foot-frame/
I would like to see a demonstration of what you mean by saying you could use those clamps to do a larger quilt on an 8 foot frame. Please explain better and show precisely how you would do it. Would you have to sandwich and baste the entire quilt first? And would you just drape the whole thing over the poles? And then clamp it?
The even feed foot is also known as the walking foot! Learn more about how it helps your quilting over on the HQ Stitch blog: hqstitch.com/you-and-your-walking-foot/
This is based on quilting the center first, and then adding side sections. There are no joins other than what is demonstrated in the video. Quilt the center using the Little Buddy and then quilt the sides on the Little Foot.
The Little Buddy Kit can be added to the Little Foot Frame so that you can easily roll and advance your quilts. Learn more: handiquilter.com/product/hq-little-buddy/
Oh my!! This video was a muddled mess for someone that has never heard of this frame before. It would have been nice to have explained it as if your audience had never heard of it before (which I had not). Is this frame attached to the table or a specific frame for the machine? The only benefit of this video was showing the technique of sewing the pieces together. I have done this before when I did not like my borders. I cut them off and replaced the old borders with a different fabric. I liked seeing this part done. Very clear explanation.
I think you could just quilt the middle of the top(how much fits on frame) then you wont have to sew the top on, its' already there. You would just add the batting and backing as she did.
The host talks way too much with childish wonder, hard to make it through the whole thing, and only to see how to attach the borders after quilting-which is in any QAYG project. Good use of the small frame though.

Many quilters have added the Little Buddy system. This helps them deal with quilts larger than 42 inches. More than one way to Rome.
This method incorporates both the clamping and rolling method.

Hi Debby! Maybe now I’ll venture into bigger quilts. Thanks for showing this! I think I would have to press those borders before quilting though. 😉
thank you, I have a competitor small frame set up and machine with robotics. this is a great tip, can't wait to try it on my next quilting project.

Where did you purchase the bar magnets? Sounds pretty efficient!

This is just another option. Glad it will work for you!

Great information. Side note.... Debby, I love your hair!!!
This is the method I use on my home machine quilt as you go
Same here
Me too.
Maybe a lot of people could do this, but it really sounds like extra work.
Well it’s time or money, depends on which you have the most of.
Hi from North Dakota. I have the Little Foot, and the Simply Sixteen.
Hello in ND! I'm sure you are loving your machine!
what about magnets to hold the quilt on? you can get 24" bar magnets from harbor freight really cheap.
Im running to find a magnet to see if it works! Thanks!
The HQ Simply Sixteen and the HQ Little Foot Frame is a popular combination for those with limited studio space who still want a movable longarm! It’s the best of both worlds. Even in a small space, you can still quilt a king size quilt!
You are adding 1/4" to each end of the border on the length not to width right?
can you use the same technique with a regular quilting frame? just one that isn't big enough for a bigger quilt?

Thank you 👍🏼 I am actually working on a LARGE quilt as you go right now❣️

If you have a Simply Sixteen, you can get a Studio Frame and set it up at 8 feet.
What did you do for side tension on that left side???

How do you join when you split somewhere other than the outside?

Or did you mean, do it in sections, like Debbie did, and then drape it over to do the borders, etc?
@@susanmei9980 That is what Vicki meant.

I have the HQ Sweet 16 sit down machine, but I want to put my Sweet 16 now on the little Foot /Little buddy frame
...is that possible?
Contact your dealer. You will need to purchase a carriage and the Little Foot frame and then there are the electronics to consider.
The HQ Stitch 710 is a powerful machine loaded with features that quilters demand. Learn more about the HQ Stitch machines here: hqstitch.com/

Debby showed adding borders, but not how to join center sections. She mentioned a large quilt could be quilted in sections. Please demonstrate.

That sounds great except one thing. If your doing a customer quilt. I'm not going to cut it up.
I think you could just quilt the middle of the top(how much fits on frame) then you wont have to sew the top on, its' already there. You would just add the batting and backing as she did.
Why you cut it before when you need it
