Super clear and helpful thank you. Quick question, on the next row down, do you measure another 5.25 inch line from the bottom line and measure the half way again?
Thank you so very much! I have watched so many videos on how to quilt but nobody ever talks about the speed of the machine. You answered that and many other questions. Keep up the great work!
what a wonderful job you did for my help. you get a A+ day for today. i will be going back to watch you more. you are so helpful and i am going to order the additional item thanks so much for your help. have a blessed day carol carone
Unfortunately mine is not as sturdy, very flimsy and part rises up and jams and I have broken several needles. Not sure Haworth to stabilise this. Any help would be appreciated. 😢
Questions please. What helps the fabric. slide? Mine doesn’t move well. How do you keep your stitches the same size? Keeping that consistent pace is hard and I hear you speed up towards the end each time and then you got comfortable and faster. Next question, can you do this without the bracket? That feels tougher to hold for me. Lastly, do you have a video that shows how to do this on a whole real size quilt? Like how do you manage the fabric etc on a queen size quilt? Thanks!
Great questions! You could purchase a quilting slider (quilting mat) to help the fabric slide easier. Keeping an even stochastic length takes practice. To begin with, you should start with a slow needle speed and practice moving the fabric smoothly under the needle. Once you get comfortable with the speed and movement, then you can move up the speed of the needle. It really just rakes quite a bit of practice. Yes, you can use the templates without the grip.
Every time I try to use my template on my sewing machine along with the foot you have it presses down so tight I can’t move it. How do I get it to move? Just learning how to quilt with templates
Make sure you are using the correct ruler foot. Watch this video to learn how to decide which one is a good fit four machine ua-cam.com/video/PZ7Gioh8qHA/v-deo.html
@@JudyReddon This video should have a specific instruction on how to prepare your machine for free motion quilting dabline.com/blogs/quilting/how-to-set-up-your-machine-for-quilting-with-templates I hope that helps!
HELP!! Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if the template is too large for my machine, but cannot complete any template without running out of room in the workspace to the right of my needle. The opening is 6" wide. Is my machine too small, or am I not doing something right?
@April121959 May182003 I would recommend wearing your quilting gloves as they have rubberized material that will give you a better grip to move your fabric. Your fabric is probably heavy, and you need to practice how to move it while quilting.
I froze the video to look closely at the stitches and it appears there are a few places when it made a bigger stitch. Is this because you put the width on 0, or does it happen when you pause or change your speed? I have all these tools but have not tried it yet. This video is so helpful and I’m not scared to give it a go now! Thank you!!!
It usually happens when you pause or change your speed. You should always keep your width to 0. You got this!! Let us know how your process goes. Good luck and happy quilting!
We are currently out of stock. You can check your sewing machine’s brand, most probably they have it. If not, you can find it online. Make sure to read your machines guide to know which one fits best with our 5mm templates.
Hi Gabriela, you should have a ruler foot for quilting templates. Make sure your machine fits 5mm templates after placing your foot. Watch this video for more details on ho to set up your machine: ua-cam.com/video/gTSwzYPJnv0/v-deo.html

Thanks, Dinah! Yes, that's how you do it.
@@Dabline Thank you
Thankyou great teaching … I’ve learned something new today ❤️❤️
You are so welcome! Let us know how your process goes
Thank you so very much! I have watched so many videos on how to quilt but nobody ever talks about the speed of the machine. You answered that and many other questions. Keep up the great work!
I bought a similar template. Then I found your video, thanks!
Glad to hear that! You’re welcome 😊

Thank you, Carol! Glad we could help! Please let us know if you gave any questions.
Thank you! I just bought a set and no instruction; you have very clear instructions.
You should have a barcode with each of your templates. We are happy you found us 😍
New here and ready to learn free motion finally
So glad you're here!
These are great videos ! Thank you. You are a very good teacher.
Thanks for watching! Glad you like them 😍
Using dark thread would help see the design on the fabric. Want to get this but would like to see the stitching.
Great Video! I ordered mine today
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the great tutorial, I was very curious on how to use these. I would have never thought of the practice run without turning on the machine
Glad it was helpful! Let us know if you need any help, we're always here for you.

Are you sure you are using the correct ruler foot? ua-cam.com/video/PZ7Gioh8qHA/v-deo.html
1. Why do you draw the lines on the fabric? Do you always have to draw lines as you go down the quilt? Thank you
It helps keep my quilts straight. You don't have to do it if you can keep them straight with no lines
Beautiful. Thanks.
Thanks, Emma. Hope you enjoyed it!
How do you start the second row after you finish the first row?
You simply rotate your template and start quilting again. Please foll9w the guide sheet you have with your set.
Are the templates 1/4 inch thick? Thanks
They are 5mm thick.
When it comes to your sewing machine - do you need any specific requirements (other than being able to lower the feed dogs down)?
Yes, you need a ruler foot to start using your templates.
@@Dabline Can you be more specific?
Make sure you are using the correct ruler foot. Watch this video to learn how to decide which one is a good fit four machine ua-cam.com/video/PZ7Gioh8qHA/v-deo.html
@@Dabline What about your "throat space" - what do you require for that in order to use your templates?
@@JudyReddon This video should have a specific instruction on how to prepare your machine for free motion quilting dabline.com/blogs/quilting/how-to-set-up-your-machine-for-quilting-with-templates
I hope that helps!
You should put those sticky pads on the template frame, too.
You can put them either on the frame, template, or both. Whatever works best for you.
So glad I found your video! I have not tried this method of quilting as yet and learned a lot today. Ready to try it! Thank you.
Glad to hear that Allyson! Let us know if you need help with anything. Happy quilting 🤩

Make sure your feed dog is at 0 before you start.

Why doesn't my material move while sewing with this template?
Are you using a quilting frame? This will help, a lot!
@@Dabline yes and i also have the stickers under the frame.

@@Dabline Oh I forgot about the gloves, will try that out, thank you!
Is the template available for lowshank sewing machines?
Yes, just make sure your machine can fit a 5mm templates after placing your ruler foot.
If you have this low-shank ruler foot, then yes!

For free motion quilting, if you have dropped the feed dogs as recommended, the quilt sandwich won't move until you move itwith your hands.
Never got a disk
Where did you buy yours? Please send us an email to info@dabline.com
Why don't you use a dark thread so we can really see where you are quilting? Hard to tell with the white thread.
Will do that next time. Thanks for your input 👌
