I just got my Cutie Breeze frame. Still in it's box waiting on my new sewing machine I'm so glad I came across your video. I'm very sure this will help me start my beginning. Thank you so much.
@@diannweier2489 yes. 5" x 12" cotton. Fold in half long ways and see the long side and one end. Turn inside out, fill 3/4 full with seed beads, rice or beans. Sew closed. Enjoy.
love your videos! thank you so much!! Quick question, will the Mini Clips or curls work with the original cutie? Those back elastics are the bane of my quilting! lol Thanks again for all you do!!
The Mini Clips would slip over the original Cutie blue clips, but only for small quilts. Perhaps both the blue and larger pink mini clips as the bulk increased?
@@klnales it does not matter. Heavier quilts I lay onto the rails as I'm loading them. Lighter quilts I often opt to allow to drape on my machine as I'm loading them. I have friends who prefer to load the front rail first and then load the back and adjust the front after that.
What stitch length do you use and what is your tension set at? Also, what needle size and weight/type of thread do you use? I have the Jazz 2 and am very new to quilting so I appreciate your helpful videos.
All of these questions are very user and machine dependent. I started out on the original Cutie frame with the Jazz II. These were the settings that worked best for me (also, what I used when table quilting): Presser foot tension: 0 Upper tension: 8 or 9 Bobbin tension: set by hand method where the bobbin stands in your hand while thread pulls freely Stitch length: 0 Stitch width: 0 I use a topstitch needle for quilting and a quilting needle for piecing. Normally my thread is a 40 wt, so I start with a 90/14 sz and may adjust to a 100/16 sz. My preferred thread is glide, but on my Jazz II, I often used Coats and Clark quilting thread.

@@kristinereck2931 This table is the Husky Workbench, available in 48" and 52" sizes, with or without the drawers, and cones in either white or black.

Can you use this with a sewing machine that has a smaller throat that yours does, for example mine has a 8 inch throat. Will it work the same way? Thank you
@@rebeccamulkern1051 yes, you can. The original Cutie (discontinued) and the Cutie Breeze were made just for that. Home-based quilters can use their domestic machines or use a quilting machine.

@@quiltingonathread thank you so much for your reply, it’s out of my league at the moment financially but it looks good , especially for free motion quilting big quilts. I can only quilt my big quilts with a walking foot and mostly a grid pattern, I limit my FMQ for smaller, wall quilts. I would love to have a longarm but I’ll never be able to afford one of those plus I have no space in my house for it, but the cutie breeze can be put away , so it’s definitely better for me. Love your videos on this machine, you really explain everything and take your time showing us 💕
Typically, you want enough backing to be able to load your work area (top) in the quilt area. You can do this using extra backing or pinning to a leader cloth. I advise new Cutie (Cutie Breeze) owners to start out preparing their quilt sandwiches just as they previously did (hand basted, pin basted or spray basted) until they become comfortable with the frame and hooping. After that comfort is reached, they will naturally use less and less basting, until they reach the point where they are most comfortable on the frame. Myself, I pin the outer corners and about every 2 or 3 feet for my larger projects. I don't feel I need much pin basting at all...I only use the basting to feel I don't have to worry about shifting during rehooping.
What a very informative video, thank you 😊.

Your video’s are so helpful and wonderfully done!!! Thank you so much!!!
I try to do my videos like I'm talking to one of my friends. I find this is easier for most to learn from than a more "scripted" format.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
Very detailed video great job
Thank you so much
can you post a link to your clamp on lights? Love your setup.

Why do you load the quilt over the rails on this film and load on the other quilt from under the tail? Does it really not matter?

may I ask where you got the table your cutie breeze is sitting on....I keep seeing it on various sits that sell the frame but no one sells it...thanks

Where do you get the elastic straps for holding the fabric?
@@CVermonT1 the elastic straps are pare of the frame itself. These are on the original Cutie and the Q-Zone and Q-Zone Pro.

Do you need to put a larger back on the quilt? Do you baste or pin the quilt?
Typically, you want enough backing to be able to load your work area (top) in the quilt area. You can do this using extra backing or pinning to a leader cloth.
I advise new Cutie (Cutie Breeze) owners to start out preparing their quilt sandwiches just as they previously did (hand basted, pin basted or spray basted) until they become comfortable with the frame and hooping.

how do I make one of those weight bags?
@@TonySharonHolm cut 4" x 10-12" cotton. Then sew a pouch, fill loosely with seed beads, beans, etc and the sew closed.
Do you have links for all your cool stuff?
What "cool tool" are you interested in? I can post the link, if one is available.
Do these instructions work for the regular Cutie?
Yes...but here's a video specific to the Cutie (original).
