@@ChristaQuilts as long as you go clockwise it is really easy to do, but the beginning ‘spiral’ is a bit tricky 🤔 This demonstration shows this really well 👍 Once started it goes quickly, and I loved the two quilts I’ve quilted like this 🥰🇬🇧
Really good demonstration of how to begin your spiral quilting 👏👏 I love the finish a spiral gives to a quilt 🥰 It looks so complicated but, once the middle bit is done, it’s easy to just keep following the lines 👍 I did gradually widen the space between the lines and used a quilt guide to maintain an even distance between the stitching lines. Thanks for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you for this demonstration. I quilted in this way on a small quilt but I neglected to start with a nice circle like you did. I'll remember that next time. A question: with the dual feed (instead of a walking foot) and that nice open toed foot, does that also allow you to do decorative stitches, even if they go side to side or in reverse to make the stitches?
Thank you so much for showing every step of this so clearly! I'm now spiral quilting a cushion top before moving on to my lap quilt, and it's going really well!
This was just the tutorial I have been looking for! I'm going to do spirals on my new quilt but I have one dilemma and can't decide what to do. I have an inset solid border. Do I spiral across the border onto the outer edge of the quilt to continue the spiral or do I stop, jump over the boarder, and continue the spiral on the outer band of quilt to keep the frame undisturbed? It's a lot of extra thread tie offs but I think it would be worth the effort. Have you had this before? What is your recommendation? Thanks again for the helpful tutorial video.
Hi Christa. I want to try this on a t-shirt quilt on my home machine with my walking foot. I need my lines to be further apart than the width of my walking foot. How can I accomplish this?
Some walking feet have a guide bar that you can add to extend the width. If not, you can tape a paper clip onto your foot to make your own makeshift guide. I recommend practicing with some scraps because tshirt quilts can be tricky to quilt since they are very squishy. You might have better luck quilting a gently wavy line design because it's less turning of the quilt.
Hi Christa, I just discovered you and have a question after watching this video. If you are quilting a larger quilt, do you start in the center of the quilt and just squish everything through the throat plate each time you are circling? Thank you. I know I am late with this question, but hoping you will answer.
This video was perfect. I had never machine quilted before. Thank you!
Just fabulous - Thank you!
Thanks Christa- very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
pretty simple on that small square sandwich but I cannot imagine manipulating an entire quilt for this
It's the same exact process, just more turning. I've quilted a queen size quilt this way with no problem :-)

Thank you Christa. I really need to give this a try. I'm always nervous about trying something new but I'm sure I can do it with practice.
Very, very cool! Thank you so much, this is a great tip for the machines that have dual feed, which thank goodness, I do.
My pleasure!
Love this!! Great explanation and looks easy enough for me, as a beginner, to try my hand at! Thank you!!

Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
I’m going to try this today. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Happy quilting!
Timely and helpful video. I have a finished quilt top and I want to quilt it in a spiral. Thanks for the demo and all the tips.
I loved this! I got to know you in a Bluprint class! You're an awesome teacher! Thanks!

Yes, that's correct. Using a decorative stitch is a fun variation.
Hi Christa! Great tutorial for a beginner quilter like me. Thanks!
Did you use 20D foot...I have 770 but only have a 20 C foot...great instructions
Yes the 20D for dual feed. That makes it work like a walking foot.
Thank you so much for showing every step of this so clearly! I'm now spiral quilting a cushion top before moving on to my lap quilt, and it's going really well!
Thank you for the video! I tried it and my spiral turned out great.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😍
A very useful video. I will do this on my mug rugs. Thanks Chrisa
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes
What pen are you using?

Yes, I would make it all continuous
Love this !!! I searched & searched for this explanation and how to .. it’s so me (:
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome , thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
You are very welcome!
Thank you for the walking foot quilting tutorial. Free motion quilting is not for me.
You are so welcome!
Great video, so clearly explained
Glad you liked it

Christa Quilts thank you! I will give both a try with practice.
thank you....this is a great video
You are welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I am new to quilting and want to try this but I need to know if this is the actual quilting with the background fabric included. Thx

Yes I do!
Any great suggestions on doing the St portal on a big quilt?
Yes, be sure to watch this video showing how I quilted a similar design on a large quilt: ua-cam.com/video/qjcbpp6xksc/v-deo.htmlsi=lMSgqMYisxNWwSql
@@ChristaQuilts thank you!
Beautiful!! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Excellent video. Just what I needed to quit an Eclipse lap quilt I am working on
I'm so happy to hear that!
Thank you for this very helpful video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Very helpful...
Glad it was helpful!
Do I need a walking foot to do this on a lap quilt size?
I recommend either a walking foot, or dual feed if your machine has that
@@ChristaQuilts thank you!
