Dear Laura I found that this was the easiest most straight forward quilting technique on YTUBE. Thanks for giving me confidence to activate my creativity.
Thanks again for your very clear and simple instructions on quilting the top, Laura! Panels are more difficult to work with than I thought they would be. I used your technique of wetting them and shaping, which also worked well.
First of all, how sweet of you to show everyone how to use their domestic machines to do quilting, considering you have a nice sitdown mid arm quilting machine. That shows you are more concerned for your main followers than yourself! Received your book today & it is perfect. I am very happy you put your wonderful tips to go along with the patterns. If anyone has not gotten this book yet, get it! It is like having Laura right in your sewing room with you! And no, I do not know Laura personally, I just have watched her for a few years and wish I did!
Loved the way the stitching looked. Thank you so much for all your "tips"! This takes the anxiety away from doing the stitching myself. Your instructions are GREAT and thanks for not talking fast!
Laura is my "Go To" instructor on youtube. You are always so thorough, easy to follow and have great topics that answer my questions & inspire me to get busy quilting!! Thank you very much
So very happy to see this tutorial ! So impressive that you gently explained the stitches , feeding , and those big pins ! What a great idea 💡!!! Definitely going to try that - genius !! Oh you just made my day. 💕Thanks so much !
I always learn at least one new technique from every video you put out, Laura. I have those same clothespins but it would never have occurred to me to use them for quilting. Thanks once again!
SO happy to have come across this tutorial. A friend asked me to finish off a couple of quilts she made. I think this technique will offer the smartest way to put them together. Genius.
I have always been scared to try quilting but with your video, I feel more confident to give it a go. I have 2 great-grandchildren due this year so I'll try to make them one each. Thank you so much for doing these videos to help others to make amazing presents for our family.
Absolutely brilliant! I watched this video yesterday, and today while I have been sewing face masks, my mind has kept coming back to it. I am amazed that in all the decades I have been sewing and quilting, I have never seen this serpentine stitch used for quilting. I always machine quilt quilts that I make for babies or children, and I can hardly wait to use this technique when I quilt the baby quilt that I am working on now. It features the mom's favorite Merimekko fabric with large blue flowers, and straight lines just didn't feel right for the quilting. Thank you, Laura!
Hi thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have always had a problem trying to quilt my projects on a domestic machine. Normally I sew in the ditch but I am never pleased with the finish this creates. I tried the method you suggested in this video and I can’t believe the difference. It is a very forgiving method for a beginner like me, but the finished article looks much more professional that I expected. I can now complete all my other quilt tops using this method. You are a fabulous teacher and very generous imparting your expertise. Kind regards Yvonne Scotland.
Hi Laura, I just love your videos! Always so detailed from start to finish that I’m not intimidated to try your projects myself. As a relatively new sewer, your tutorials are a godsend. Thanks! 😊
I love this! I don’t have a long arm machine so I have been sending my quilt tops out to the long arm quilter. It’s getting a bit expensive! This is a great alternative. Thanks so much!!!!
Hi Laura! These tips are wonderful! I really like your huge clips and the fusible batting. I just bought a Bernina 790 Plus and I can't wait to use that 1396 stitch! Thanks for sharing the video!
Thank you so much Laura, I have learnt so much from your videos and I love the Q20 tutorials you do as you explain everything so beautifully. You are one very clever lady. x
I'm going to use this idea on my second quilt. I also love the clamp idea to save my having to wrestle with the big quilts. Thank you for sharing this helpful idea, Laura!
Beautiful quilt panel! You just have to love those red trucks!! I love how you quilted it with that wave stitch! You made it look so quick & easy! Thanks, Laura!
Hi Laura, Thanks so much for this detailed tutorial. I had a baby quilt that I was holding off on because I was not quite sure how I wanted to quilt it. I have always used the stitch in the ditch mostly for other baby and tee-shirt quilts. I used a flannel fabric and was not quite sure if it would lay nicely. I am happy to let you know that I am really pleased with the results. Thanks so much. Also, I just watched you open your new book, good luck to you!!
Very nice tutorial. I’m a big fan of walking foot quilting and have done about half a dozen quilts using a similar serpentine stitch. Thank you Laura! ❤️
I have used this stitch on more than one quilt. I love it and it's very forgiving. I think some people call it a Serpentine Stitch. Either way.. it works for a lot of different patterns. Thank you Laura! I love your videos.
Hi Laura! Another GREAT lesson. Your teachings are clear and imparts confidence so all your viewers can be successful! Thank you so much! Hope your new sewing room is just what you want and need! 🤞
Thank you, Laura! I love getting new ideas for finishing. BTW, I am SO enjoying my copy of “Sew Very Easy Quilt Favorites”. It’s beautifully organized and photogrphed, and the patterns are fabulous. Well done!
I have been wanting to make a quilt but have been put off at the thought of quilting it on my sewing machine. Not tried FMQ but this method looks doable thanks to your wonderful tutorial. Many thanks for sharing 🥰💕
Great tutorial! I have the Heirloom batting, the Clover Chaco marker, the Glide thread and a panel. Ready to quilt with you! Your panel came out beautifully!
Thank you soooooo much!!! I am new at machine quilting and I have looked high and low for an easy quilt stitch pattern for my first design on a panel quilt!
Thanks Laura for this tutorial! You have a very calm voice that gives me courage to do this on a quilt. Would love to have your Bernina sewing machine too.
Love this curving stitch! I'll have to watch again to be sure I understand how to do it! Also the big clamor idea! Love your sliw, calm clear voice....keep up the good work!
thanks for sharing your experience. I have several panels that I didn't know how to go about quilting them and this was perfect. All of your thoughts were very helpful for me a beginner.
This is beautiful and you a wonderful teacher. Your voice is soothing and you portray a very patient teaching style., which is why you are my go-to sewing friend.
I absolutely love this method. I am new to sewing, I just do little quilts for my granddaughter and I only know how to tack them. I will be trying this on her next one. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! The perfect feminine touch to my grid quilting. I love all of your videos and have so many saved. I just subscribed to your channel and love your tutorials!
That looks so easy, didn't see a pucker anywhere! And I love that fusable batting!!! I've been spray basting mine but I really love the idea of ironing a fusable! Looks more stable.
Thank you so much....I really didn't know how and what pattern to quilt my topper... This will be fantastic... Look forward to seeing more of you videos of inspiration... 😁😁
I've always just stitched in the ditch. Not that I've made many quilts, only around six or so over a few years. But I was planning to make a jellyroll quilt for myself, so I'll try this out. If it doesn't look right, well, it wasn't going to be a gift anyway. I consider myself new to quilting, but from what I've observed, there doesn't seem to be a wrong way to do it.
every quilt I have made I used the grid lines it does make it look good sometime I use a wavy stitch on my sew machine instead of straight line but still use the grid marks
Thanks for this informative tutorial. Did you use Quilters Select Rulers (those won’t move on fabric). Would be interested where to purchase large quilter’s clamps as well.
Thank you for explaining that so clearly. A chalk pen like that is on my Christmas wish list! Too bad my machine hasn’t got that stitch. I guess it’s not a quilting machine.

such a clear and simple tutorial. Its hard to come across quilting videos that actually show you how to quilt your quilt! Thanks so much!
Thank you Laura. I love how you describe everything so thoroughly and so clearly.

Laura, I love your videos! You have the best ideas and make sewing so easy. thank you
I love your calm voice. You make me feel like I can do anything! I love that stitch because it is so darn forgiving. Thank you for all your videos!
Me, too. She speaks very slowing and precisely so she is easy to understand also.
I always learn at least one new technique from every video you put out, Laura. I have those same clothespins but it would never have occurred to me to use them for quilting. Thanks once again!
I did not ever notice this wavy stitch choice! Showing me the marking is so helpful as well as the iron on batting practice
SO happy to have come across this tutorial. A friend asked me to finish off a couple of quilts she made. I think this technique will offer the smartest way to put them together. Genius.
I love all of your videos! Your calm demeanor and a can-do attitude are encouraging. You are a very well put together, pretty lady! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗
I love that stitch....I have used it on 4-5 quilts to have them out of the UFO pile....
Hugs for Everyone 🤗🤗🤗💞💖🌹🌷🌺💐🌸🌼🌻

This is a great idea, perfect timing I’m going to use on a baby quilt. You do make quilting easy with your tutorials ! Thank you.
Great tips, as always, Laura. Love the large clips, I am definitely buying those. I would not have thought about using the wavy lines, thank you!
I love this! I don’t have a long arm machine so I have been sending my quilt tops out to the long arm quilter. It’s getting a bit expensive! This is a great alternative. Thanks so much!!!!
Update - I bought a long arm over the weekend! It’s a “sit down” model. Can’t wait to use it!!!!!😃
Great tips for marking grid lines so much better than starting in the middle, I always pick up a tip or two from your tutorials.
Hi Laura! These tips are wonderful! I really like your huge clips and the fusible batting. I just bought a Bernina 790 Plus and I can't wait to use that 1396 stitch! Thanks for sharing the video!
Thank you! I have a couple quilt tops and I wasn't sure how to complete. This is very helpful!

I love how you quilted the quilt. Will have to try it.
It’s a great and fast way to quilt a small or big quilt! I use it on most of my quilts!! 👍🏻
As always, a very clear and complete tutorial. Really useful, thank you.
I have been using that serpentine stitch for all my projects lately and you are right, no matter if you veer off a bit, it doesnt show at all.
I’m working on some quilt tops and I’m going to try this stitching too...thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us!!!
Thank you soooooo much!!! I am new at machine quilting and I have looked high and low for an easy quilt stitch pattern for my first design on a panel quilt!
Wonderful! 💖 I love the panel wish it was still available.
Simple way to get a super cute look! I have to go and see if my machine has that stitch!
I just love your tutorials, you have a very pleasant voice and you take your time. Great filming too!
Love your videos! Love love love the second quilt you showed - the pink 1. You always have great tips & tricks. Happy Sewing ♥️ 🧵 🪡
You give the best instructions with great visuals! Thanks
Wow your tutorial was so easy to follow and so imformative. I am off to look for more as I have only just discovered you. Thank you. Windsor, UK
This is awesome - thank you so much - as a quilter who struggles this is a very good way for me to do some home quilting.
This has been my go-to stitch for years! Easy and pretty!
Me too, it's great for baby quilts. If you have a guide bar, you don't even need the chalk lines.
Thanks Laura for this tutorial! You have a very calm voice that gives me courage to do this on a quilt. Would love to have your Bernina sewing machine too.
I just did this method you demonstrated. Whoop! My receiving blanket/quilt looks great! Thank you!
Love this curving stitch! I'll have to watch again to be sure I understand how to do it! Also the big clamor idea! Love your sliw, calm clear voice....keep up the good work!
Thank you wonderful stiching will try o. My next quit
I do baby quilts for our church. This stitch will be great for quilting them. Thanks!
thanks for sharing your experience. I have several panels that I didn't know how to go about quilting them and this was perfect. All of your thoughts were very helpful for me a beginner.
Tha5 is a lovely quilt! And a great tutorial.
Such a great instructor for a beginner! Thank you.

Thanks so much Laura, another winner I can’t wait to try......✂️✂️
That turned out lovely and red for quilting was the right choice. Thankyou for sharing.
Your videos are so inspiring. I so enjoy watching them.
That looks so easy, didn't see a pucker anywhere! And I love that fusable batting!!! I've been spray basting mine but I really love the idea of ironing a fusable! Looks more stable.
I’m a new quilter, and didn’t know my walking foot could do that stitch! Much easier than moving the fabric like I’ve been doing to get wavy lines!!
Thanks Laura for all the wonderful tutorials. I love the that stitch and I will be trying it on my next project.
Laura, thank you for this video. I have a quillow to get finish for Christmas. This design is perfect. Thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving
I use the curve stitch! Marvelous!
Thank you very much for this super helpful video. I like the simplicity of it and the gorgeous result!
I love this!! I have several quilt tops waiting to be quilted. I'm going to try this. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much....I really didn't know how and what pattern to quilt my topper... This will be fantastic...
Look forward to seeing more of you videos of inspiration... 😁😁
This was such a great idea. Did it with my last quilt and was perfect.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful method for quilting. I may have to upgrade my machine so I can do such a fun stitch.
I've always just stitched in the ditch. Not that I've made many quilts, only around six or so over a few years. But I was planning to make a jellyroll quilt for myself, so I'll try this out. If it doesn't look right, well, it wasn't going to be a gift anyway.

Thank you so much for this example, waving to you from Michigan
This is brilliant! Thank you so much can you do a simple way to do this with a king size example?
I will definitely try this method! Thank you, Laura! You are sew wonderful with you tutorials, and I look forward to many more!
every quilt I have made I used the grid lines it does make it look good sometime I use a wavy stitch on my sew machine instead of straight line but still use the grid marks
Thank you. I always use this stitch. On my Babylock it's called serpentine, love it. Will get the choco marker, like it.
Lol...I have the exact same panel; now I have a plan for quilting it. This is a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing, Laura!!!
You are so professional!!!!!! I wish I was at your level
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊, I really enjoyed this video.
Well this was great advice! I tried it on a pet blanket and it looks flawless.
This is one of the best tutorials!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Great tutorial, as always! I’ve got to find those clamps.
I'm going to try this! I use a narrow version of that stitch (#30 on my machine) to machine bind my quilts (not a fan of hand binding).
I hope I can do this on my machine…what an awesome, yet easy and quick way to quilt.
Thanks for this informative tutorial. Did you use Quilters Select Rulers (those won’t move on fabric). Would be interested where to purchase large quilter’s clamps as well.
Great tips. I love the Clover chalk marker! Just ordered two❤️
Thank you for explaining that so clearly. A chalk pen like that is on my Christmas wish list! Too bad my machine hasn’t got that stitch. I guess it’s not a quilting machine.
Great tutorial. Where did you buy the large clips?
I’ve been looking for that stitch. You videos are always so informative. Keeping them coming!
Wow all in an afternoon that’s my way of getting things done, thanks Laura
Genius!! I just discovered your videos and subscribed Laura! So many Great ideas!!! Thank you!
I just love this so much, this could be great Christmas gift to prepare ahead and it's very cute and simple. Thank you so much for sharing 💕
I love this stitch! Thank you for the tips!❤️
Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much . I am definitely trying this method in my next quilt!
That is something I really need to try, looks beautiful.
Please let us know where you got your big clothespins. I LOVE how you teach us! Thank you!
