Honestly Angela, I see you as Super Woman! You’ve helped me so much on my quilting journey (newbie to the art, at 54) and I’m in awe of your capabilities. And not only that, you run a beautiful family, a fabulous home and ranch, an amazing store and workshop space and travel to inspire others. On top of that you like a glass of wine! My sort of woman!! Let me know if you’re ever coming to the UK on a quilting tour. You’re quite astonishing, it would be great to lift a glass to you. Can’t believe you ever sleep!
Thank you for many helpful videos. The freedom you offer me to make mistakes and still have a successful quilting project. I keep watching, learning, and working to turn my quilt tops into grown-up quilts.
I am so glad you showed these and also how to add other things to them. I truly think I can do these, not afraid to try things anymore. Will try free hand for a while, but I still want to get a ruler to use also. I like your idea of different sizes, looks really nice. Thanks again Angela and now off for the next one.....Claudia
My first try at doing clam shells (on the roof of a house in a wall hanging) a couple of years ago was a real challenge. I ended up drawing every scallop so that it actually looked like tiles on the roof.
Girl, you are fearless but very inspirational! Great options for Clamshell quilting. I did click on the "more info" link but the Clamshells, Feather Meander and Serpentine Lines do not have downloadable quilting diagrams on the page.
Would you post a longarm video version for the clam shells and stacked squares lessons for the free motion quilting challenge? That would be very helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial.. I think I could do this. I'm always looking for simple designs. How wide and tall would you say these clamshells you did in the video are? Thank you.
I just found your tutorials and am really learning a lot. I have a question though. I don’t see any basting pins to hold quilt layers together. What do you do?
Hi Angela, I love your videos. I am trying. I do have a question though. I do crazy quilts and crumb quilts and sometime there are very small pieces. what would you suggest for that kind of quilt bloxks
Tried a few without a ruler. They look more like Roman arches in the first row. The second row looked like the bricklayer was drunk. More practice needed. Or I can use the ruler....
Hi Angela, been busy trying our all your designs. I have a question of course!!!! I have an all over pastel flowery quilt top in squares with white square in middle. What would you do with a kinda boring Eastery looking quilt top to make it a little more interesting?? The fabric is Afternoon in the Attic..... Very delicate flowers. I made an MSQC top that Jenny called Ummm, oh Bordered 9 Patch......
Thanks for asking! It's the Handi Quilt Stitch 710 and I love it! Here's a link to more info: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/products/hq-stitch-710-sewing-machine
Hi Angela, I have a question. I decided to do 2" clam shells in the border of quilt I just loaded. There are 4 rows in the top border. My question is this: Should I continue the clam shells in the same direction going down the side borders and across the bottom? My daughter, the artist, says yes they should all face the top of the quilt.
Hi Angela, I am a devoted fan. I have watched so many of your videos (all of them), that I feel like I know you. Anyway, where can I get the gridded stencil(s) you used in this and other videos? Thanks!
I have them for sale on my website: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/free-motion-challenge-quilting-along Thanks so much for your support!!
I haven't tried it yet, but hope to on a dahlia quilt. I want to put clamshells--maybe half of an orange peel--around the big dahlia medallion. Do you think it will work?
winterzee I’m going to bet that it’s not the button that’s taped over, but that she has a piece of opaque plastic taped over the machines light. I bet diffusing the intense light from the machines light works better on camera. Look at the area just below you’ll see a corner of the plastic sticking out.
You can find the pounce pads (for marking) and the stencils on my online store: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/free-motion-challenge-quilting-along Hope that helps!
The chalk is Quilt Pounce and the stencils are "Design with Lines". Angela's Quilting is My Therapy store website has them, as do a number of other quilting supply sites. Check out the Midnight Quilt Show for the episode "Angela's Tips for Using Quilting Stencils".
These will be perfect for quilting fish scales on the Chuckles quilt I’m now piecing! Thanks for all you do for the quilting community! 😊❤️🧵

Wonderful love you and leah for showing us ideas. Both of you are terrific

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you watching!!
The quilting on Tula Pinks quilt is beautiful!
You are the best inspiration! Thank you Angela!!!!
Thank you Angela. This is so timely for me. I have a clamshell quilt to quilt. This is great inspiration.
Thanks so much! I am so glad you found it helpful! :)
I just LOVE your videos, way you present the information... Lovit
the design in the shattered frames quilt makes me think of a dreamy Asian landscape
Ohhh, it sure does!!! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks Angela! You make it look so easy. I'm off to practice, after all practice makes progress!
Thanks so much! I am so glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for week 8 video -
Thank YOU for watching! I really appreciate the support!!

Thank you again!..another great tutorial!!
Thank YOU for watching! I really appreciate the support!!
Love it
I've learned so much from the challenge. Thank you so much. Is there a video of how to use the squiggly ruler to make clamshells?
I haven't done that yet, but I think that's a great idea!! I'll definitely work on that!
Girl, you are fearless but very inspirational! Great options for Clamshell quilting. I did click on the "more info" link but the Clamshells, Feather Meander and Serpentine Lines do not have downloadable quilting diagrams on the page.
Would you post a longarm video version for the clam shells and stacked squares lessons for the free motion quilting challenge? That would be very helpful!
I will try to do that in the next few weeks, no promises though.....thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this tutorial.. I think I could do this. I'm always looking for simple designs. How wide and tall would you say these clamshells you did in the video are? Thank you.
There were about 3-4" wide and about 3" tall,
Your amazing!!
What should I use below foam or feather fill of polyesters
What kind of sewing machine can use quilting pressure feet, please tell
You are so good. How can I get this confidence?
Really I want to try but I am afraid.
Angela What kind of music do you play to help you keep in rhythm you quilting motivating design?
I just found your tutorials and am really learning a lot. I have a question though. I don’t see any basting pins to hold quilt layers together. What do you do?
Hi Angela, I love your videos. I am trying. I do have a question though. I do crazy quilts and crumb quilts and sometime there are very small pieces. what would you suggest for that kind of quilt bloxks
Sew fun! ❤️. Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching! I really appreciate the support!!
Thank you 🌸 How do you start and stop your machine?
Tried a few without a ruler. They look more like Roman arches in the first row. The second row looked like the bricklayer was drunk. More practice needed. Or I can use the ruler....
that's funny - great sense of humor
freida14 love the humor, we need it, better than being stitched in our ditch.😊
Hey....if it's consistently inconsistent....well, it's good enough!
mine probably look like yours
If you mark a GRID, not just the horizontal lines, you can use the grid to mark the midpoint of the arch.

I made an MSQC top that Jenny called Ummm, oh Bordered 9 Patch......
Ohhh a square of solid fabric always makes me so very happy! Could you quilt a motif in there....perhaps a feather wreath or something similar??
Sorry if its already been asked, but what kind of domestic machine are you using in your videos, not the long arm... thx

Downloadable quilting diagrams is missing from the comments :(
Im a beginner quilter and am a little afraid of free motion quilting do you put your feed dogs down when you quilt the clam shells and other designs
I do put my feed dogs down, but I also use a supreme slider. Hope that helps!

My question is this: Should I continue the clam shells in the same direction going down the side borders and across the bottom? My daughter, the artist, says yes they should all face the top of the quilt.
I would make them all face the same way or I might make them orient away from the center, but it's a little more tricky that way.
Thanks. I think it will be easier all the same way. I'm using rulers on the longarm for the first time so easy is better.

the link to the clamshell design is broken. How can I find it?
I haven't tried it yet, but hope to on a dahlia quilt. I want to put clamshells--maybe half of an orange peel--around the big dahlia medallion. Do you think it will work?
Yes! That would look awesome!!
Why is your START/STOP button taped over?
winterzee I’m going to bet that it’s not the button that’s taped over, but that she has a piece of opaque plastic taped over the machines light. I bet diffusing the intense light from the machines light works better on camera. Look at the area just below you’ll see a corner of the plastic sticking out.
That is absolutely correct!!! The light is too bright for the camera.
Where can I buy or what are the chalk tools and templates found to mark quilts?
You can find the pounce pads (for marking) and the stencils on my online store: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/free-motion-challenge-quilting-along
