Hello from Alexandria, Louisiana. Always enjoy your videos. Congrats on your new room, know you will enjoy! Beautiful colors on the projects you displayed.Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for showing us your work and these gorgeous quilts. My favourite is the yellow quilt, so beautiful. What an accomplishment for a relatively new quilter, really impressive skills. When I was in high school in Tasmania a thousand years ago, my art teacher, Mrs. Blake, taught us how to make batik fabric using wax, carved out potatoes for stamps, and powdered dye. It was MAGIC! Of course, my fabric was only about the size of a large pillow, but such fun. I also used that dye as watercolor paint.
What a great memory!
I look forward to your video each week. Congrats on your new addition! Thank you for sharing your customer finishes with us.
Thank you so much!
So exciting to get a new toy! WOW! Two long arms! That takes up a lot of space! Thanks Tammy for sharing the beautiful quilts. So many amazing quilters out there turning pieces of fabric into beautiful works of art! As always, I so enjoy your videos. Thank you!😊
You are so right ! There are so many talented quilters!
Hey! We're Handi Quilter Amara friends! (we have the same one!) Such a fun quilt, very patriotic!
👋 Happy Quilting my friend!
Hi Tammie. First time to see you. Thank you for all the info. I loved seeing all the quilts!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great job on the ladies first quilt. Oh I’ve pondered the size of master suite.
It's been a great move for me.
Hello Tammy, congratulations on your new sewing room!
When you are visiting your son in Wisconsin, please feel free to stop in at Going to Pieces Quilt Co in Appleton, Wisconsin. I work there on Friday's and would be glad to meet you and show you the quilt store. Next to us is Quilting Connections, which teaches and sells HQ Amara etc.
Thank you for the invite! I’ll be sure to check it out!
It’s called a “chop” for that stamp! Oh my gosh what a wonderful video. All those quilts were amazing ! Congrats on your second long arm! What a chore to switch rooms, but thrilled to know your business has exploded!
It was like moving without changing houses! But it has been the best! Thank you!
Graduations on your new machine! You deserve it. I admire your work ethic that even when you’re out of town on a trip with your husband and could be off doing fun things you still Quilt at your hotel, and in the evenings when you could just be resting or watching TV. Tell me you are an amazing woman and one of these days I’m going to send you a quilt from Kansas.
You are very kind! When quilting is in your blood, you just can't get away from it. My family encourages me so much too! They are constantly pointing out quilt shops, or barn stars to me as we are traveling. I think they are in this journey with me!
Beautiful quilts, love the Baptist fan on the cream backing.❤
Me too!! Thanks for watching!
Oh Wow! Such beautiful quilts! Love your new room and additional longarm! It's hard work but also exciting to get into a new space. I was excited to see your progress on the Kansas Troubles Meadowlark quilt. I really like Lynn's fabrics, and have a little collection. So happy that I was able to find the pattern online. Awesome that you got to meet Lisa and tour her facilities!
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed today's video. Congrats on the new work space and new longarm. I have a great respect for the issues with finding space to work. I am constantly shuffling my quilting stuff around.
I guess it’s a good problem to have. 😁
Hi, I'm glad for you for the new sewing room and for the new bedroom. It
looks great!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on your new longarm and your new space! The quilts are beautiful and I appreciate your longarm knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on your expanding business! I can understand why, your quilting is beautiful.
You are very kind! Thanks Shellie! I received your email, I will be in touch soon!
So glad you were able to expand your business. What a blessing. Thank you for sharing your talent. Love the last quilt made by Brenda.
Thank you Linda!
How exciting to see your business growing and changing! Congratulations! 🎈 ❤🎉
Thank you so much!!
Wonderful video Tammie...congratulations on your new "baby"...thanks for all you share...best wishes ❤❤
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on your new machine. Loved all the quilts shown. I think your next addition should be a she shed😊
A she room
Thanks so much! A separate building was discussed, but decided to invest in the new machine first!
So happy to see you expanding Miss Tammie. Congrats on the newest addition. The new room looks so cozy. What an honor to take a tour of Miss Lisa Bongean’s retreat center. I just love her!! We’re planning another road trip this spring down to Texas and Missouri and we’re hoping to add Wisconsin into that trip. 🤞 Thanks for sharing all the gorgeous quilts. Have a wonderful weekend. 🤗🤗
Thank you so much! It’s a must see!
You’ve been a very busy lady! Another beautiful quilt show-so much extraordinary work in each of these. Congrats to you on your growing business! Your talents add such a special finishing touch to each and every quilt. Beautiful as always! 💖
Thank you so much!
Good morning Tammie, congratulations on purchasing a second long arm quilting machine. It will be so helpful with your business. Your new quilting room is going to be so nice with all of the lovely windows. I love Brenda's Quilt. The fabrics are so beautiful. ❤😊
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on a growing business and getting to add a new long arm machine. How exciting to meet Lisa Bongean, and getting a personal tour of The Gathering.
It was amazing!
Congratulations on your 2nd machine. You are a very busy lady. I have learned so much about choosing a Pantagraph for my quilts that I send to be quilted from you. I love seeing all the quilts.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on the new addition! Please investigate using zippers on your leaders. I recently converted to zippers on my Amara and I LOVE them! It is so much easier on your hands and loads straight every time. I did keep my old red snapper leaders, just in case, and bought new leaders for the zippers. I just use two zips for the backing only as I float the top. Please think about this to help your hands. / Jean
I have thought about it. Do you load your quilts onto the zippers with pins? Staples? I'd love to know.
@@tammieearnest I sew the zipper leaders to the top and bottom of the back only at the regular sewing machine with a very long stitch and scrap thread so it will be easy to remove. The UA-cam video about how to install them and the instructions on the zippers themselves were very confusing so I did them the way I wanted them. There is one permanent zipper side sewn onto the regular HQ leader and the corresponding part of the zipper is permanently sewn to a cloth leader (10-inch wide by length of the HQ leader) I made from a sturdy but not too heavy fabric (sailcloth maybe?). I made a one-inch hem on the side of that (just to make it stronger) which is where you sew the backing each time. Some people just rip off the backing from the zipper tape or zipper leader at the finish, but I use a seam ripper which is pretty fast and I can sit in an easy chair to do it. Those snappers were killing my hands and back, and this is so much better. You can buy the zippers and HQ leaders on Amazon and I made the extensions from JoAnn fabric. You could sew the zipper tape directly to the backing but that seems harder to me and this keeps the big machine far away from the zipper, just in case. I do not think the zipper would last long without its own leader. I float the top, but you could make a leader for the top, too, but I cannot imagine how to do that and still be able to reach the bottom edge unless you just pin it on. If you want photos, let me know and I will email to you. One good thing is getting rid of the snapper causing the take-up roll to be uneven and taking up space. I have a little more throat space without the snaps to deal with. You could make multiple zipper leaders with just one side of the zipper on a leader and install on multiple backings to save time in loading. You will not need more HQ leaders, just the halves you make yourself. Congrats on the second machine! You are making me dizzy! So busy! Jean
Also, after quilt is finished and still on the frame, I just carefully cut the backing off with scissors, leaving just a narrow strip of backing sewn to the zipper leader which is what you take to the easy chair.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about triangles on a roll. I too haven't tried those. I love how the Commission quilt is coming along...I love the fabrics. I L❤VE the Vintage Valentine pantograph as well as the way the appliqued hearts form a heart. Great idea for memory quilts! Both of Jane's quilts are beautiful and I think the second quilt is STUNNING. It's hard to believe that she is a fairly new quilter. The pieced backing is so creative!
I am happy that your long-arm business is doing well and your new work area is wonderful. Each quilt shown today is, as always, wonderfully done and very inspiring.
Thanks so much!
Congrats on your new machine! It's fun to change rooms around and get a new perspective on a home you've lived in a long time.....me? I took over the family room in the basement. Now I can leave everything where it is and come back to it the next day.
Also Primitive Gatherings is my local quilt store.....I wish I was there to meet you. Look very forward to your videos....the quilts are all so gorgeous!😍
I love that you have a large space to work! No way, Primitive Gatherings is your local shop? I'm envious!
Soo happy for you! And appreciate so much that you so generously share your knowledge and projects! Even getting to the end of my first bout of Covid with a foggy brain…I am so inspired and want to get going on a quilt!!! Congratulations on your second long arm quilting machine! Can’t wait to see how your beautiful blocks on your Meadowlark pattern go together!!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on you new machine! I loved seeing your new space and all the gorgeous quilts you did! Love to watch your videos!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for another great video. Jane's work is impressive! Thanks for addressing some questions!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Tammie, I’m Lori!! It was so great to meet you and your family at the retreat center!!! I love your channel and all the beautiful quilt creations. Congrats on your second long arm machine and expanding business!! I’m hoping to send some quilts your way soon!!
Hey Lori! What a treat it was to meet you! Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you for sharing everything in this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My pleasure!
Congratulations on your 2nd machine and a new bedroom!
Thank you!!
CONGARTS ON YOUR NEW MACHINE I REALLY ENJOEDYOR QUILT SHOW
Thank you!
Congratulations on your second long-arm quilter! I am so happy for you. As always, I love seeing what you are quilting, they are so gorgeous. I recently watched the Fabric Patch video in which they did a quilting cruise to several countries and they were able to visit one of the Hoffman locations where they do Batiks. The whole process is amazing, especially since it is in a very primitive location. It is worth watching, and I love Batiks. Happy quilting.
Thank you so much!
CONGRATULATIONS! IT LOOKS GREAT!
Thanks so much Dee Dee!
So happy for your growing business Tammie!! ❤ and omggg, you went to Primitive Gatherings! So jelly, I’m gonna make it there one day, I hope!
You should! It's wonderful!
Congratualation!!! Tammy on your 2nd Long Arm and your new bedroom, also your new longarm room. Just a tip for your 1/2 square triangles to keep them all together. You can seperate them by using sandwich bags, also placing them in a empty Fat Quarter monthly subscription box.You will love the triangle on the roll for the accracy. I'm currently working on Lisa Bongeans free QAL from over a year ago. and it 1,152.... 1 1/2" unfinished 1/2 square triangles. So this is what I'm working on while watching this episode.
Thanks for the tips! Great ideas!
You are sew welcome! ☺️
Fabric Patch youtuber just came back from Indonesia where she toured Hoffman batik facility. Very cool
Thanks for the information!
Oh, a bit jealous of your trip to PG! Someday I will get there.
It’s a must see!!
Hope it’s not too late, but I think I noticed a boo boo on the Quilts for Valor .. second row .. 3rd over .. the flying geese seems to be upside down.
Yes, unfortunately, neither I nor the quilter noticed it until the pictures were taken.
❤❤❤
I have HST paper I bought at thrift. It smells like ciggerrette smoke. I've had it for 2 years just hanging. I'm afraid it will make the fabric smell. So I haven't used it. I love seeing all the adults and your music is perfect.
Thank so much!
I was told that the dimple side “should be” facing the backing. The reason that I was given was so that the fuzzy side wouldn’t be able to be pushed through the backing with the needle. I always load fuzzy side up.
To be honest, I have not had any trouble whichever side I have put up.
I tried searching Brenda’s quilt pattern “ Illusions” by Marti Mitchell. I’m not having any luck finding this pattern. Is it in a book or a single pattern? Thank you for any help you can give me. Congratulations on your second long arm machine and always enjoy your UA-cam videos.
I've reached out to the client. I'll let you know if she provides any more information.
Hi Tammy, Is there a pattern for Jane's heart quilt she used shirts for? I have a memory quilt to do and would love to know. thanks so much and have fun with your long arm space. ❤
I will ask her and let you know. Thanks so much!
I notice that you have what looks like a dowel and some pig fabric, pinned onto your quilt top. I have never seen that before. Can you explain that please, and thank you. How does that work when you wined the quilt top?
I will explain those on a future video. Stay tuned!
Hi Tammie! I’ve heard you mention The Longarm League and wondering about the ‘Rookie Season’. Did you do the Rookie Season and what are your thoughts? The only thing holding me back is the cost. Thank you! Terri
Hi Terri. Yes, I did the Rookie Season. Although I had already had been running my business for a few years, I had tried to figure things out on my own. So I took Rookie Season to be sure I had done everything right! I learned a lot. Sometimes it's worth paying for someone else's expertise, experience, wisdom and hand holding.
There is A LOT of information in the course. Everything from setting up your business legally, working with clients, setting up your website and accounting systems, longarm basics, setting up wholesale accounts, etc.
I really depends at what point you are in your business as well as how confident you are in figuring things out for yourself. Hope this helps. I do have an affiliate link if you'd like to use it, but no pressure.

I assume it is too late to correct the piecing boo boo on the top right star?
Without pulling the stitches out and the piecing apart, yes. I didn’t notice it until I laid out the quilt for pictures.
