    Amazing, this is the exact sewing machine I use. 1938 Singer. I inherited it 40+ years ago. I clean and oil it myself. Yes, with this machine you can sew over pins. Elaine Lockett is a super quilter. You make it appear so easy. Thanks for sharing all those tips. We never stop learning. I have been making quilts for at least 50 years now. Always learning.

    I'm 64 years old and have always regretted that I wasn't interested in quilting when my grandmother could have taught me. I really thought I had waited too late in life to learn. Watching you make this amazing quilt reassures me that I can still learn to do this. Thanks. Blessings!!!!! 💜

    I always thought quilting was some very difficult project so I never tried one. After watching your video I will be making my 1st quilt at 53 years old. I love how thoroughly you described what you were doing and why. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and giving us tips. You're very kind lady.

    My grandmother called this tacking a quilt. I don't know why. I learned a super helpful tip on threading my tapestey needle for my crochet. I never knew there waa a deep side to the needle and her little tape trick will save me a lot of grief. I am soon to tie my first tied quilt and I feel this video is all I need. Thank you so very, very much and thank her for me please. God bless.

    I agree this was SOOO much more straight forward than the other videos. I think it's a generational thing. Folks like my grandma and this young lady speak simply, and to the point. I really appreciate this immensely!! There is a lot of history in these techniques, it's as American as you get!

    Me. Elaine you are adorable and an amazing quilter. I wish I had a grandmother in my life that would have taught me to quilt ,knit, sew, etc..but at least with your excellent tutorials I can learn now. I just wish I could spend hours with you in person, side by side learning. What a wonderful wealth of tradition you are. God bless you. I'm so happy that I've stumbled upon your videos!

    I know this video has been up for a while, but I just found it. And it brought tears to my eyes to see someone making a quilt with the same technique and same kind of frame that my father built for my mother and grandmother. So many years ago but I remember it so clearly. They have all passed away now. I am so happy to see a memory from my childhood. Thank you.
