I feel you have touched on a lot of important tips that others, that are really experienced, do not think to address. Thank you for this video. I am struggling smooth moves on my cutie
My cutie frame is supposed to be delivered today and this video is invaluable as a learning tool for beginners! I really enjoyed watching g the whole thing! Thank you for sharing!
I have a cutie frame also. I called the grace co and ordered a second set of the small side clamps . They are very inexpensive and help pull my quilt evenly . I love them! Thank you for this video!
Thank you for showing this. I have a quilting setup that is similar to yours. You have shown me quite a bit in this one video. Yes, it does take time, but it is very rewarding.
I love watching you work when you were showing the whole part I had to laugh I got to watch in your mouth I could almost tell when you were going to change directions by the way you move your mouth if I could sit and watch it longer I could probably figure it out exactly I don't know when you see this do you get a chance watch your video and watch your mouth you probably don't even realize you're doing it😂😂
@@christiespeich6537 , you're right! I've done a couple of her challenges (Feathers, and Organic Fillers (not the right name, but what I got out of it!) before, and it's a great way to learn a specific set of skills. My young granddaughters love the "learning challenge" quilts, too -- nothing goes to waste.
Lovely!! This is so helpful to me because I have a very similar set up, I am a newbie, and I am kind of scared of it. lol I have subscribed and look forward to more videos. Thank you!
I do have a ruler base on my machine. Please see my previous video for step by step info on how I basted this quilt. The video before that one talks about different options for basting your quilt when starting in the middle.
Christie, this isn’t related to the mandala project, but is that a laser attached to the right handle bar? If it is, I would sure be interested in how you use it. 😊
This is great. Never seen such a clear explanation of the Cutie before. What machine are you using? Thanks. New subscriber. Hello from San Diego California
@@christiespeich6537 What is the table underneath the frame please? Looks sturdy and good size. Thank you. I’d love a 3-roller LA frame but don’t have the space.
@@cyn4rest It's a Husky table I got from Home Depot. It is the 52" wide. You can get it with drawers or without drawers, AND it's height adjustable which is awesome! Highly recommend!
Very interesting, I have been considering the cutie frame recently. I see you have a 19" throat. Are you happy with that? Any issues I should know about? Thanks for your feedback.
I have the Q’nique 19 on the Qzone Hoop frame and I love mine! I’ve had it a year and the only trouble I’ve had so far was a result of my own stupidity. My first needle quilted four lap size quilts and some practice pieces! After I changed a needle, all of a sudden I couldn’t go from left to right without my thread breaking. Well, I figured a lot of the pros had that same problem with their machines so I didn’t think to much about it. Then it just started breaking all the time. I went to change the needle and discovered I’d put that one in backwards! 😂. Once I got one in the right way, I’ve had no further issues. There is some features I wish it had, but honestly I can live without them. A bobbin sensor would have been nice but not completely necessary. Overall, if you have limited space and funds it’s a great machine. I have back problems and worried that using a long arm might be a problem. So I do have to be careful how much I’m on it, but since I can sit down when quilting it really hasn’t been an issue. In fact, I have to work to slow it down! It weighs almost almost forty pounds but moves like wet butter. I also have a bit of carpel tunnel so I wear some support gloves while I work (especially for ruler work). Moving the quilt isn’t that big of a hassle. Plus, it allows me to quilt the segments in the order I want and it makes it easier to quilt the borders because I can turn it. It really is a great little system. A friend got the cutie frame for Christmas and she loves it. I hope that helps.
What is the size of the table that you are using? I want to buy a Cutie and wonder what the minimum size would be. Hopefully a table that I already have. Do you use a stitch regulator?
I have a Husky 52" table that I got from Home Depot. It is 52" x 24" . The bare minimum you would need is 48"x24" which is exactly the "foot print" of the Cutie frame. I use a Q'nique 19 which has a built in stitch regulator.
Finally.a BIG quilt not another demo on a wall hanging or baby quilt! Thank you . Thank you! Thank you!

Beautiful workmanship. I'm a sit-down quilter working on the same panel!
Thank you! It's a beautiful panel, isn't it? I love Angela's challenges!

Don't be scared! Get some scrap fabric and practice! 😀
Hi Christie- I love what you did on this panel! What needle would you use with minky or cuddle backing fabric?
I’ve never used minky or cuddle. I think there was a video about it on Lorena’s Quilting channel in the last couple weeks…. 🤔

Wow
Thank you for this lesson for the Cutie frame. Is there a ruler base on it? Did you pin baste the entire quilt first?
I do have a ruler base on my machine.

That is the laser, yes! I haven't used it yet because I don't have the rear handlebars. Why did I buy it? Who knows LOL

@@cyn4rest I am looking forward to the day I have the space for a continuum frame.
@@christiespeich6537 I also have two 52" tables from Home Depot for use as sewing tables (for my new Sashiko and Huskylock machines).
Is the background music from Incubus?

Yes, I love it! I did not like the Cutie with a domestic machine, but I love it with the Qnique 19!

You are doing a great job. I can watch you learn and not want to pull my hair out because you talk to much. Thanks ❤
