I love to hear your voice on your vdeos. You always sound so calm and unhurried. You make me feel like I could do it too. This looks a great Idea, and I can't wait to try it!
Hi Laura. I hope you are having a blessed day. Thank you for the video. This will be very helpful for beginners. This is fantastic information as quilting can be very intimidating. It’s one thing to piece a quilt top, but it’s altogether a different kind of beast when it’s time to quilt . Thank you again for this amazing video. God loves you. May God continue to bless you.
Wow! You are a great teacher! I saw those templates at quilting stores in my area, but I had no idea on how to use them. Now I do! And, as for the upside down way of quilting, what a wonderful idea! I never would have thought of doing it that way! You gave this "confident beginner" encouragement, to try new things! Thank you for making my day much brighter!
I just want to tell you how much I have learned from you. Your teaching methods fit my style of learning and I have become a better quilter because of you. Thanks so much for making these videos!
I love the finish line series. I learn so much! Thank you for explaining processes and details so clearly, and for then following up the verbal instructions with a clear hands on video demonstration. I’m such a visual learner. I appreciate you sharing all the tips and tricks of what has worked for you and what hasn’t from your experiences. So helpful. Your voice is also very calming. Be well. ❤️
I love this method of marking! Marking is part of the reason I haven't done any free motion quilting. I'm legally blind and with all the color changes on front I can't see the marks. This will really make a big difference for me. Thank you for showing this technique Laura I really appreciate it.
Laura thank you for full explanations and showing why a step is important. My sister and I are both beginners and have learned so much from your videos. You give us the courage and enthusiasm to try it. I’m starting a table runner this week and I’m going to try the Fail Proof quilting on that one, but I see the Upside Down Backwards quilting in my future. Can’t wait to see the next video. Blessings to you.
I have been practicing my free motion quilting with mixed results. May need to look at some templates for that more professional look. Thank you once again for the inspiration and for not making us newbies feel inadequate.
Wow, this video is super helpful, and I was delighted that you showed the Sew Fast 3-yard quilt pattern from Fabric Cafe (time stamp 11:47) using the technique. Thanks to your video on that pattern, I have the blocks done and just need to assemble the top. I had no idea how I was going to quilt it. I've seen qulting templates in stores but wasn't sure how to use them. With this "twofer" video you've given me the confidence to use a template to mark my quilt AND combine it with your upside down technique. Thank you, Laura!
Wow this is absolutely fantastic! I am a beginner quilter for about a year now and I have put together quilts Only to leave them sitting because I was afraid to do the quilting on top of them. I think I’m going to make me some more practice squares and do this method. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.
Just dive in. Its initially intimidating, but with each quilt you will become braver & more successful. You made beautiful tops. Now you need to quilt them & enjoy them. Good luck!
You make it look so easy! That was a brilliant idea you came up with! I loved that big feather stencil that you showed. I would love to see exactly how you would stitch it after it’s marked.
I made a scrappy nine patch quilt that had 30 different prints in it.. and did exactly what you said you did .. changed my marking pencils up, for each and every color of that quilt. I wish I had a plain backing to mark on..but no. I used a camoflauged print.. so, the marks woul not have shown up on the backing, either. The quilt turned out beautiful, of course, but what a chore it was to quilt it.
You are such a wonderful precise teacher!!! I love the way you show and explain all the details to us. I learned a whole lot from this video. I want to get that grippy spray for my rulers too. And I learned something about those templates too. You are definitely once talented lady. I like the design you chose for that quilt and it turned out beautiful. Thank you so very much for all that you do and how you share your knowledge and teach us along the way.... Many hugs to you... Claudia
how fantastic once again!! Another tip I mentioned before to remove marks is to put one tsp of baking soda in a cup of water. Shake in a spray bottle or mister and marks disappear (as long as heat hasn't been applied first). This video reminded me that I have a book called "Quilting Back to Front" , "Fun and Easy No-Mark Techniques" by Larraine Scouler, C&T Publishing that I'll have to get out and read. Thanks for what you share!! Cheers 🇨🇦🍁💐
OMG!!! Thank you so much Laura! I have a table topper that I made years ago that has the same colors as this runner in it and have been trying to figure out for years how to quilt it on my sewing machine. It never dawned on me to do it from the back side! Duh! I am going to do this and finally I can use it on the kitchen table! You are amazing!
When I use a stencil, I use a pounce pad with chalk to transfer the marks. I have found if I spray the quilt lightly with water BEFORE and AFTER I use the pounce pad, the chalk does not disappear quite so quickly. For a small project like this, it would be ideal...and FAST!
Awesome! I have to admit the thought of marking and quilting from the back has occcured (in a very vague way) to me but since I'm kinda new to FMQ I thought I'd be breaking some kind of rule!🙄 I have since decided not to worry so much about rules! Thank you for sharing... especially about directional stencils!
Wonderful to watch and learn from you. Thank you Laura for all that you do for us. Hope all is well with you and your family. What happened to our promised tour of your new basement sewing space. have been waiting for your updates or stand still videos. Your the best. Keep safe and us entertained. God bless you all. Alda
Thank you for this Laura, I really enjoyed watching this video, I’m really eager to try this method of quilting,as I’m not any good at free motion designs and think this would really help me get the flow, I’m going to search out some templates and give it a try on smaller pieces first. Very interesting, can’t wait to see the next instalment.
Great job teaching, explaining! AND..... 😁.... your hair is GORGEOUS! (I'm 73, Home Ec major, white hair....thinking I'll let my hair grow out if I can be as pretty & cute as YOU! 💕)
Hello Laura - enjoyed your video so much that I would love to practice with the same template. Do you know where I might find one? I’m moving on to the Dresden Plate tutorial now. Thank you again. Deanne
Hi. I really enjoy your very informational tutorial videos. I noticed in another tutorial you have a B790 with embroidery attachment. Will you be creating projects showing how to use it for simple items. I received a B790 plus for Christmas and would really like to do some cute and easy lettering and simple embroidery for gifts. I hope you could show off your talents on a cute project. Thanks
What a really well explained process thank you so much. Im doing a Super King Quilt (my second quilt) and the Quilting club I belong to has a quilting attachment that you use your own machine to quilt it. I think your process of marking will be of great help before I load it on to attachment. Thank You If you have any other things you could recommend It would be appreciated Mo from England.
I love to hear your voice on your vdeos. You always sound so calm and unhurried. You make me feel like I could do it too. This looks a great Idea, and I can't wait to try it!

Never occurred to me to “flip” it over and quilt from the opposite. Wonders never cease! Thank you very much
This is exactly the way I want to quilt my quilts. Your’s is the first video that I have been able to find on it. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! You are a great teacher! I saw those templates at quilting stores in my area, but I had no idea on how to use them. Now I do! And, as for the upside down way of quilting, what a wonderful idea!

Excellent info and demonstration Laura. Thanks so much. Not many of us can afford to get them done professionally nor own a long arm machine. 🇦🇺
I love the finish line series. I learn so much! Thank you for explaining processes and details so clearly, and for then following up the verbal instructions with a clear hands on video demonstration.

You are just the greatest. I can’t even express how much you have taught me. Thanks
Happy to hear that! Thank you
I'm a new suscriber. Just wanted to say thank you, Laura, for educating, entertaining and inspiring.
thank you and welcome :)
Genius! I learn so much from your videos and love your presentations. Thank you for sharing.
This has saved my Christmas. Thank you for your time and guidance in this video.
I would have never thought of doing that. It’s ingenious. Thank you so very much Laura. You are such a smart lady. I just love your tips and tricks.

Laura,
You are always show another awesome way to make something difficult a hole lot easier!! Thank you so very much!!
Thank you sooooo much! Such a simple method, but one that not many of us will think of...myself included. 👍🏻👵🏻
This ”on the back” Is a great idea. I’m going to try your method! Thank you for thinking outside the box.
I have been practicing my free motion quilting with mixed results. May need to look at some templates for that more professional look. Thank you once again for the inspiration and for not making us newbies feel inadequate.

So logical! Thanks for sharing this method. I got a kick out of your story about the backwards music notes too. Good reminder to do things backwards.
Really fun to watch and learn from you, Laura. As usual, you've come up with a very helpful way to finish a quilt!
Thank you sooo much! I love watching you quilt on the Q20! Gives me courage to use mine!! Cathy
Thank you Laura.... I am learning so so much about quilting. 😘🥰️💕❤️️

Fantastic! I am a brand new quilter, and I will use this method on the baby quilt I am making. Very simple 42 5" squares, lol. Cute and simple.
Great tutorial. I love that you’re right to the point and you share a lot of information. Thank you so much.
I think I might try this with a smaller piece, probably a table mat. Great idea and video
You make it look so easy! That was a brilliant idea you came up with! I loved that big feather stencil that you showed. I would love to see exactly how you would stitch it after it’s marked.
Great Ah Ha moment! Thank you for passing that on your viewers!
Great hint! Very nice quilting and love the design!
What a wonderful idea! I’ll have to try this one. You have such helpful ideas. Thank you.
Thank you for this. For us beginners, it's about the courage to do it.

Thank you for this. You are helping me to build my skills and my confidence. Love this idea. Thank you again..
Fabulous tutorial. You are a great teacher. Thank you so very much. I always enjoy your videos. Hugs from Louisiana.
What an amazing way of quilting your quilts. Thanks for the great tip.
I used a backing with large flowers that I quilted around, it was perfect on front!
That was AWESOME and so informative! Encouraging to finish off my quilts that are only hand tied. Thanks!
What a great technique - Thank you! 👏🥰. Luuuove the fabric colors!!!
Thank you for this video. I’m going to try this tonight, can’t wait. You are great ! Thank you , Caroline
Next practice session I'm going to try this. This is an excellent idea. So glad you had that lightbulb moment.

Really great video Laura! Love your channel!
Another great tutorial. Thank you! 😊 👍 💕

Thanks Laura from Australia a great tip and very useful for all ❤😃
This is so incredibly helpful thank you Laura !
This is a great idea! I’ve seen the stencils but I really didn’t know how to use them. Thank you for both tips!
Great reminders for all- even those with lots of experience!
You should put this technique in your book. It has been a game changer for me.
What a marvelous idea. Thank you for this great video.
Very clever! Love this idea.
Luv this idea looks easy and fun.

Excellent video with great ideas! Thank you. This information will be so helpful to me on my next quilt.
You made that look so easy and the result was lovely
Thank you, Laura. I will try this method. Makes so much sense.
Ohhhh this was a nice one. Good example of can't see the forest for the trees. Ocam's razor. The best solution is usually the simplest
Thank you Laura, this is a fantastic idea...💙
I like this stencil to free motion. I have been trying to learn but not having much luck.
This is a great demonstration. Thank you
You are such a good teacher. Thank you.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
Very helpful thank you. You make it look so easy.

Give it a try, if you do not like the white you can always colour it. I love the freedom of the white :)
Laura this is a great idea. Thank you.
What an great idea! Thank you. Laura!
Never tried quilting before. Awesome. I should try this on my channel too
Great idea! Thanks. Have a blessed day!
Thank you so much for this video. I am looking forward to trying this technique on a small piece so I can feel it. Be well!

That's for the wonderful and informative video.
Hi Laura where would I buy the template you used in the video?
Experts work. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea! Thank you
Love this idea!
thank you for confirming what i have been thinking of for the longest time. I have tried it on a small quilt
and it is turning out beautifully.
That is brilliant...thank you! 💜
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
do you have any suggestions if the back is printed fabric? BTW, love your videos - I always look for them
Excellent example, haven’t tried but I want to.
So excited when you do Q20 videos! Thank you!
Merci pour cette belle idée.
awesome idea, thank you
Laura, you're so smart!!!
