Gorgeous. You are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Natalia.

In the last example, do you premark the half inch spaces. If not, how do you keep them a consistent and accurate distance.

[@annscott5059]

I really enjoy your videos! So inspiring!! I like the afghan in this video, is there a pattern you can share? What stitch is it and what size yarn? Thanks for all you do to keep the creative spirit alive in all of us!!

[@NataliaBonner]

Thank you! The afghan in the background is actually one that I bought. Someday I want to learn that skill! 🧡

[@annscott5059]

@@NataliaBonner lol! Thanks for replying!!

[@sylviamitchell8399]

Beautiful. Do u show how to do this on a regular machine?

[@abigailbullard3933]

I haven't seen that see does, but maybe. You could also check out Angela Walters of Quilting is my Therapy for that.

[@JackieDannenberg]

Fun designs. Like them but normally your videos aren’t jumpy. When you stitched, the camera apparently was affected. Great fun in any case.

[@sissydeitchler2509]

what if I only have my home sewing machine innovius bq2450 can it be done on that also

[@NataliaBonner]

Yes! You'll want to make sure you have a ruler foot. Then I recommend the mini rulers, that size will work best with your machine. 🧡
