I love the examples but I think, even more, I like the realty of seeing thoughts in process and the permission to just try something for the fun of it!
Thanks Kelly & Kim, a great demo! I bought the solid circles when they first came out - now I want to swap! Love the echo feet - I need them and a glide too!
Wow. Big improvement on the ruler base. Mine is all plastic without the side slots, so it feels like Im going to break it when i install and remove it. Beautiful quilt Kelly. Great seeing you ladies again after learning from you at last years academy. Excellent lesson.
Great instruction. When the ruler base is on and you're stitching on the edge of the quilt, how do you keep the ruler base from hitting the quilt clamps?
I concur with Karen Ross - I'd like to see some rulerwork demos on the Sweet 16 - Do you realize how many of us own a sweet 16 and not an expensive longarm? Also, your accelerated speed was a little TOO accelerated.. LOL
If you check UA-cam for Sweet Sixteen you will find many videos for using the Sweet and the Capri. We can certainly work on doing another ruler video for the stationary machine. Thank you for your suggestion
I agree we need more HQ sweet sixteen videos/demos. We seen them all out there. There are a few great ones with Helen Godden, Jane Hauprich and Debbie Brown. But consider us that have the HQ Sweet Sixteen.
Can you use the echo feet with rulers? To be sure that I'm clear with how Vicky quilted it, did she quilt the circle with her sure foot, change to the echo foot and then quilt around the ruler again to get an accurate echoed circle?
I love your quilts Kelly. I have just purchased a long arm and am super excited to begin quilting with it. I can see myself moving towards modern quilts as they come together more quickly and there is so much negative space! Do you follow patterns for your quilts or are they improvisational?
There are 57 different sizes if you use the echo feet and both gold and silver set of circles. Is there a reason why they changed the the echo feet color to clear? Mine are colored.
I agree, be prepared so it’s not so confusing. Take the time to collect the right tools and don’t try to rush through it and then end up making a generic video. Thanks for the effort though.
Ladies, I love that you make me feel human, but it confuses me when you’re not 100% certain on your feet and stitch line width. I’m all for impromptu and I realize you’re still getting used to this, but please can I ask that you make sure before you record, or edit with correct information?
They should approach their demos as a teacher develops lesson plans. Start with the objective , demonstrate, provide examples, anticipate problems and finally review. These machines cost too much money for demos that lack focus.
@@karenross3457 Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. It does not give me faith in the product when the representatives seem confused and disorganized.
Actually demonstrate instead of talking about what was done in advance. Good rule of thumb is to say what you are going to demonstrate, then demonstrate it. There was so much talking here without much value add content.
Thanks you have helped me learn the right way to do new designs.
Great to hear!
Always knew I didn’t want to echo a line without a ruler! Excellent session!
Thank you! I'll add those rulers to my list.

Yes!!! Just have fun with it.

Can these circle rulers be used on Simply Sixteen? Would you still start at bottom with Baptist Fan
Great instruction. When the ruler base is on and you're stitching on the edge of the quilt, how do you keep the ruler base from hitting the quilt clamps?
I usually pin extra fabric or a piece of twill tape to extend the backing so the clamps aren't too close.
Got to get these rulers love the eco foot
I wish you would do some demos for the Sweet Sixteen.
Hi Karen - we do have some videos on the Sweet but we can work on more -check UA-cam for Sweet Sixteen or Capri ..... thank you for the suggestion
@@kellyashton7040 Thank you. I have seen the"some". Looking forward to some new ones using rulers.
I agree. The sweet six videos are old and sparse. Thanks for doing more

@@kellyashton7040 We have seen them all. Most are about setting up machine .
Yes, I would love that also. I have a stationary Longarm.

Yes, you can use the echo feet with rulers. You can do an echo using any combination of two different sized feet.
@@HandiQuilter thank you. I didnt know that and am going to use them more now

Where can I find a similar circle template set? I can only find the individual 2.5" circle on TBE HQ site.
Those rulers have been discontinued but a new set should be coming out soon!

colour coding them would be really helpful. I think if we buy this set we need to use coloured dots or permanent pen . I know I'd get confused
Can the echo feet work with the baby lock regalia?
I don’t understand the clear view. Can you demo how you attach the fabric for that please.
We'll be showing that in the next few weeks. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. :)
I had the same question. If that is an important first step wouldn't you include it!

why drawing on paper? would make more sense do demonstrate in on fabric
