Thank you Angela - I am basting a large quarter log cabin and still wasn't sure what/how to quilt it. You gave me some great ideas. I MQ on a DSM, and have made and quilted more than 200 quilts on this very same machine. Love MQ'ing.
Hi, how are you doing my friend?
I am getting so much from these live chats! Thank you!
Hello, how are you doing my friend
I am just starting my long arrm quilting venture. I really appreciate all your teaching! Need to learn to practice on paper more! But also just not be too scared! I am a work in progress! 😂❤
Angela, your love for your craft and your willingness---and ability-to share with others simply shines through your videos. Can't say ty enough!!!! Wanted to remind everyone of a marking tool we all used back in our home EC days---a sliver of bar soap. No worries that it won't wash out! And using a Hera marker or it's equivalent, the wrong side of a butter knife, is also great for dot to dot quilting. Used a Hera marker to create 12 in lines for a secondary design in a quilt this winter and was very pleased with the results. I'm a newbie quilter and am experimenting with everything to see what works for me. The hardest thing is to swallow your fear but we need to simply go for it!!
Hello Mary
WoW!! I'm a beginner, Just making my first Quilt Top. I had no idea the amount of designing involved till this week. I'm not sure I have enough years left to learn all these amazing lessons!
Love your Tutorials, I'm learning a lot. 👏🏼👏🏼💜
Your Shape By Shape books have great instructions and diagrams but they made more sense after I watched the dot to dot video. Thanks for taking the time to share all of this great stuff.
Hi Carrie
I missed the live chat, but just finished watching. So much fun. Now to break out ruler base and try to not stress. Thank you Angela.
Hi, how are you doing my friend
Love your teaching and talking. AND ENTHUSIASM. Thanks.
Your Shape by Shape books are my go to for ideas- thanks for all this great info- really compliments the books! Love that you mention how to travel from block to block.
Thanks so much for these chats. I have learned so much
I love your shirt! Just watching your videos has taught me so much! Thank you. I would have done the feather challenge if I was more advanced. I know that this is not the video that was taught but I naturally took to your flower meander. That gave me so much encouragement that I am totally hooked! Cheers and yes wine does help when it comes to relaxing to make curves more smooth LOL
Hi, how are you doing my friend
Love the video great information.
Angela.. love your tutorials makes it so much easier to understand than just reading it in a book..
Can you explain about quilting with pieced critters or applique quilts...Thank you
Hello Darlene
Love this live chat video even though I watched it later. I don’t have a a long arm system but I do some fmq on my sewing machine. I’d like to give this a try. Thank you, so glad you’re shared this!
What a great video. Thank you.
I just have to say your examples are absolutely inspiring! I'm just starting to FMQ and I'm not so great at smooth or consistently placed curves. Looking forward to trying Dot technique with straight lines and a ruler. Especially excited to see how using 1 pattern with few lines and another pattern with lots of lines can separate 2 areas of the same color. Not sure if I explained that well but it's clear to me that my quilting is about to get even more exciting!
I am just beginning to dabble in machine quilting. What I struggle with is transitioning from one place to another. It would have been extremely helpful if you had marked the dots, both starting and ending, on each example that you pictured. And then walked through where to start, where it ended and then how you moved to the next space. Thank you for your videos, they are very inspiring!

Need more videos like this. Sooo much inspiration
Hi, how are you doing?
Excellent chat, thank you 🇨🇦
Hello
If you have one big colorful quilt top pattern , where there is no background color, but you have used 10 or 12 different solids, maybe with some texture in the print, spanning all the colors of the rainbow, how do you choose a thread color. I really like how you have used the straight line dot to dot to make the diamond affect, and think it would work well with quilting this project.
Great video. Did your Dot to Dot class on Craftsy several years ago, was my first experience of quilting large quilts
I love watching. I hope to meet you in a couple of weeks when i am up there.
Hi, how are you doing
Thank You Angela. With enough quilting juice I may get over my fear to learn fmq.
Love your quilty eye candy🍬🍭🍡
Hi Susan
Such elegant stitching! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Excited!
Hello, how are you doing my friend
What kind of pen do you use to mark your design? I have heat erasable pens but do you iron your quilt after quilting or do you like the washable type? Thank you🤗🧵
Can you do ruler quilting with a regular sewing machine?
Hello
This is awesome👍, thank you! From Loudon, TN !!
New to this I’ve never seen dot to dot Quilting what do you mean by touching not touching?
Thank you.
👍👍👍👍 up, people!
I’ve just tried this and it’s brilliant!
Hi Carol
Hi Angela, I love your rulers, I think I have all of them, 12. I've bought them mostly from Amazon, often my children have gotten them for me for Christmas,
birthdays, etc. Since I've already purchased them, I have the pdf for six but I would like to get the pdfs for: Sid, Slim, Shorty, Taj, Archie and Squiggy.
I'm having difficulty getting to some of them. TY. Mary
Angela, have you ever tried using a black light to see your quilting better? If so, what did you think of it?
Love this instruction video!
Hey Cindy
I have a question from you or others in this group about FMQ designs. I have been quilting for years using a walking foot & straight lines. I can Dot to Dot. Because I'm not artistic, tracing & drawing is not in my comfort zone. Other then PRACTICING, Practicing, practicing, is there anything else you can recommend. Before I go to sleep, I use my hands to practice Elongated Swirl, Paisley Swirl, Plume Feather, & Flower Meander. Thanks for listening
Yes, keep drawing or "going through the motions" of the designs each day, especially when you can't be at your machine. If it is any encouragement, it took a year of practice drawing/quilting until I felt confident with feathers. ( Shorter time for other patterns!!)
Tip: when watching tutorials, I predict where I think the instructors are going as they quilt. This helps me focus on the designs, how they are created, and I progress quickly. Keep it up, it will click soon!
Hi Susan
Angela I heard you say you like your Frixon Pens for marking. I do too, but there is a downside to them. You iron them away, but they are still very faintly there, and if the quilt get's cold, ie if you take it in the car on a winter day, or to a cottage that is cold, I am told the lines reappear. Have you had any of these problems?
I tested this on a 3 scraps. Marked on all. Washed one w/o ironing in cool water with mild dish soap; then air dried it. The other two I ironed “away.” Then I washed one as above and the other I didn’t; put all three in the freezer. The one that I washed without ironing came out the best. Second place was the ironed and washed. The ironed only came back the strongest.
I recommend everyone do this test on your own fabrics BEFORE MARKING (on scraps, I mean) ; then decide. 😊🌷 Hope this helps!
@@susanmei9980 thank you for sharing!
Hello Debbie
Great chat, so helpful .... NZ
Question: what if usable product do you use when you’re doing a quilt such as the laurel wreath? Is it permanent or does it wash out? Thank you you’ve been a great help in my quest to free motion quilt!
That was supposed to say fusible not usable in my above question
Another thing... is there a difference between the old pounce chalk and the newer one?
Where do you start your quilting ( in a corner or in the middle of the whole quilt )
What is the pattern name on this lower rectangle. The mustard color sample
Rail fence biorder
Which marking utensil are you using or do you suggest? Thank you!
Sorry, just realized you said Frixon...I've heard those have a tendency to show back up later after being washed...Thoughts?
Can you use a waking foot when doing dot to dot?
What kind of foot are you using on dot to dot?
Where can I order templets and rulers?
How do I get from one square to the next?
I love these designs but I don’t want to quilt it to death. I want a softer quilt. Help !
Quilt it how you want. These ideas are wonderful, and a place to start. What you do will be wonderful. Just pay attention to your batting. Some says quilting needs to be within 4 inches. Some 10 inches. Pick the right batting for your project. Looser quilting designs makes for softer quilts.

Hello
Hi, how are you doing my friend
Angela, I have volume all the way up on both UA-cam and my computer and your voice is not quite loud enough. You sound muffled a little bit or like you are just a bit far away. Just letting you know, others might not hear everything you say easily.
👍❤️😊
