I really enjoyed watching you walk through this process. I’m debating getting the Cutie Breeze for use on my home machine 8” throat. I’m inspired, but also scared! 😂 Thanks for keeping it real!
@dimples6596 Thank you so much. You will have to weigh it out. To visualize, you could cut a piece of paper at around 6 1/2” which after the take up poll is accounted for, is about what you will have. Will that be enough space for you to work in? Just a thought. You will make the right decision for you!
Just found your video. I am new at this and I really enjoyed seeing your process, your imperfections (which I could not see in the finished product), and your hand getting in the camera ( which helped me to see how you work the machine). I can’t wait to watch more. Thank you for making this.
I’m so gladI found this video. I have a quilting frame I’ll be picking up this weekend with the Qnique 14 on it. Seeing how to move a large quilt on the frame, I was like Woooooo Whooooo!!
This is a beautiful quilt. I just got a cutie for my domestic and new to quilting. Love your tutorial. I feel much more comfortable with going for it once I get a few quilt tops done.
My Cutie is still not used. I just need to set it back up. I finish a quilt top and then balk and just use my mock sit down with suspension system because I know it and I'm comfortable with it. I'm just going to have to put on my brave face and give it another try...last time. My curves were pretty boxy lol. I did like it, I do, I'm just set in my ways lol. Thank you for the demonstrations, they are very helpful.
You can do it. It does take a bit of practice, time and patience with oneself. I didn’t get it immediately, and I continue to practice every single time. I have dozens of “practice quilt sandwiches” that I test and practice on! I know you can do it!
i just love your videos, you are so good at explaining things. :) I, also try to apply longarm principals to the cutie frame when possible. WONDERFUL to watch . thank you again !
That is so pretty! I'm excited to get my Cutie frame now. I'm sure there's a BIG learning curve, I have the older HQ16. I'm also sure I will bum-fuzzle a few places... LOL
My machine is probably a 2009. No handles came with it, the cutie frame however, comes with handles to use, they are located just under the machine bed.@@debmetheral6596
Just got my Cutie & started practicing with it. Have a sm throat machine but glad I'm not wrestling with it. Found myself holding my breath watching your ruler work & realized I do that when I do ruler work & have the death grip going on. Do you have a tip for that or is it just me ? Loving your videos. Love your voice ❤️ nice & calming. Keep these coming please 🙏
Congratulation! It is funny you ask - I do have a tip...although I don't always follow it. Someone told me when I first started out that it is quite "normal" to have a "death grip" on your machine. They said when practicing, instead of grabbing the bar with your hand, grab it with just your thumb and pointer finger and work it a bit that way. It helps, it really does, when you remember to do it. The more you work with your machine, the easier it gets and the less 'death grip" happens. Thank you so much!
Hi, waiting on my qnique 19 to come in this next week. was using jazz2 but kept getting eyelashes on back of quilt. no matter how I adjusted tensions. I think I moved too fast for the machine. I am hoping the speed alarm on the qnique will help. I have several scrap qullt sandwiches made to practice on and then donate. can't wait am so excited. Your videos have helped me with frame and now with machine. Thank you,
I have and I don't care for it. Most of the rulers I use don't slide all that easily, except when I am not paying attention. I need to be able to move them but still have them hold and for the most part they do. Everyone will have their own feel and way of doing things and figuring out what works best is part of the whole process. I do use the tacky grippy stuff on my cutting rulers though!
Which machine did you get? With the Qnique19 (any Qnique machine) I simply lift the quilt hanging down in front and place it on the frame. Don’t remove any clamps. Pull the machine toward me and change out the bobbin. The quilt I just finished went through 10 bobbins. If you are using a domestic machine, it is different. I hope that helps.
Hi Kim! I spray baste. I usually have a few ready to go for a nice day outside when there is no breeze. I have a hard time with pins because of arthritis. I guess I could do a quick "basting hack video" when the weather calms down. Super windy and cold here today.
I am not turning the machine off and on, I am starting and stopping it. I am in Precise Regulated mode and I do not want it to continually lay down multiple stitches in one spot while I readjust my hands, ruler, quilt, etc. If I were to continue (leaving the machine stitching, one wrong bump and I will have stitches where I don't want them....It has happened. Ii hope that answers your question.
I really love this quilt ❤️
Thank you so much!

@@FogDogStudios thanks for replying! I think 6 1/2 may be enough for a beginner. I'll try what you suggested. Thanks for your insight! 💕
That thread color change is an awesome hack! Thanks for sharing.
That was exactly what I said when I learned about it. I use that method on all my machines now!
Thank you for demonstrating how to have a small area, small frame, and how to quilt on a long arm quilting machine, I found it extremely helpful.
You are so welcome!
Man, that quilt and that work on it is just so pretty!
Thank you so very much! :)

I enjoyed seeing how to work this machine and how to use the cutie how. big is your sewing room

That is so exciting! Congratulations!
Absolutely beautiful fabrics and quilting. ❤
Thank you! 😊
This video is great. I have learned so much. I have a cutie and Q'nique 15 in a small space.
You can accomplish really big things!
Thank you for sharing. You explain everything so well. Gives me confidence!
Thank you for an honest and beautiful presentation.
Thank you!

You're a real informative listen also Ellie. I'm just getting ready to hook up my sure stitch for my PQ1500 and pop it on my new Cutie.

Beautiful quilt. I am in the market for a Cutie frame and I found this very informative.
Thank you! 😊
You did a great job with this demonstration. I just got my cutie frame with a Jazz II so I feel more confident going forward.
Thank you! Enjoy!
Lov3 your work and your attitude!
Thank you so much!
Wow, beautiful!
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this!
I'm so glad! Thank you for taking your time to watch!

You will do great!!!! Enjoy the process!
I know this is an older post but how old is you Sweet Sixteen I have a 2014 and wondered if handles could be put on mine for this set up.
My machine is probably a 2009. No handles came with it, the cutie frame however, comes with handles to use, they are located just under the machine bed.@@debmetheral6596

Congratulations on your upgrade! You will love it.
Have you tried using any of the tacky grippers to help hold your ruler in place?
I have and I don't care for it. Most of the rulers I use don't slide all that easily, except when I am not paying attention. I need to be able to move them but still have them hold and for the most part they do. Everyone will have their own feel and way of doing things
and figuring out what works best is part of the whole process. I do use the tacky grippy stuff on my cutting rulers though!
How do you change out bobbins? Just got my machine and have yet sewn anything yet.

Pull the machine toward me and change out the bobbin. The quilt I just finished went through 10 bobbins. If you are using a domestic machine, it is different. I hope that helps.
Do you spray baste, or pin baste?
Hi Kim! I spray baste. I usually have a few ready to go for a nice day outside when there is no breeze. I have a hard time with pins because of arthritis. I guess I could do a quick "basting hack video" when the weather calms down. Super windy and cold here today.
What brand and kind of thread is your pink thread. Thanks!
The pink thread is an Aurifil 40wt - #2425. I love the color!!!
Question, why do you keep turning it on and off?
I am not turning the machine off and on, I am starting and stopping it. I am in Precise Regulated mode and I do not want it to continually lay down multiple stitches in one spot while I readjust my hands, ruler, quilt, etc. If I were to continue (leaving the machine stitching, one wrong bump and I will have stitches where I don't want them....It has happened.
