Thank you so much Sandra! I appreciate that! You can click the link in the description and head over to my website for the free download for this block. :)
So glad your back making these videos. You have helped me so much with learning free motion quilting. Hope you keep up with these in the future. Thanks for sharing.
Just found your video. Love your design. When you bring your bobbin thread to the top, you move your threads back and forth while tracking. I've never seen that and was wondering why you do it. I look forward to more videos.
I do have a small garbage bin under both sides of my frame so I try to hit those. Whatever the bin misses, the floor catches. I don't have carpet though so it's easy to sweep or vacuum it up.
Absolutely beautiful stitching! I recently bought a BabyLock Jewel, but have been midarm quilting on my homemade 12ft frame with my Juki 2010qi for 8 years. I’m so happy to now have a stitch regulator finally! I have been watching your videos nonstop. I’m “collecting” my tools as I go, and would like to know more about your erasing pen that you use to get rid of your blue lines. Where can I find it please?
Here is the link to the files for this block. It contains the piecing instructions and the drawing tutorials for the motifs. I hope you love it! killer-freemotion-skillbuilder-series-trial-version-block-9-freestyle-quilting
Dette var så flott å se på. Jeg har kun vanlig symaskin, men quilter alle mine prosjekt på den. Lurte på den pennen du fjerner strekene med, er det rent vann du fyller på ? Hvor er det mulig å finne en slik penn ? Har en med lange børster på, din var mer fast i tuppen.
May I ask what the difference is between stitch regulator mode and what ever else is there when you free-motion with the swirls and leaves? I was under the impression that the stitch regulator gave evenly spaced stitches. Thank you in advance.
Sure! When the stitch regulator is engaged, the machine governs the stitch length. In manual mode, I am responsible for the even-ness of the stitches. Does that make sense?
@@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 yes it does. I have a stitch regulator on my Bernina for my attempts at free motion meandering and the stitches still often come out jerky and the tension is wonky even though I try to balance it out before stitching. Not sure if I am going to fast, though I have my speed at the lowest level...so even with the 'help' of a stitch regulator my quilting is still not pretty...
any thoughts on using a "cheater quilt fabric" 50% cotton, 50% poly. to practice free motion designs? . I've been FMQ'ing for a long time with my domestic machine, getting a longarm soon so I'll have some practicing to do! wondered how well it will sew on 50/50 fabric?
That's a great idea and one I teach my students. You can work on your 'ditch' stitching, ruler work, free motion and filler work with zero investment (in time) piecing quilts for 'practicing'.
New subscriber here! I love your work and I admire your ability to gauge that 1/4” gap for placing your ruler. Please tell me what machine you are using. Thanks.
I would love to know what the pen is you used to remove the blue marker. I think I have died and gone to heaven with all your videos! I have moved from a table to frame and learning all over again.
@@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 Did you ever get these in. 'refillable felt tip' You never did say the brand name of them. I live in Canada and would like to see if anyone sells them up here first, because of the darn duty,shipping & taxes if ordered from the US
@@lindaconnolly3748 I did! I don’t have them on the website yet but I do have them and they’re only $4.99 😊 Shoot me an email @ whirlsnswirlsquilting@gmail.com
You have just revived my desire to quilt again!
Awe!!! YAY!!!😍😍😍
Your designs are fabulous! I could watch you quilt all day! Thanks for the free pattern. A must try!
Love the quilting! I get so pumped watching you do what you do. JUST BEAUTIFUL!

Absolutely love your work. The ease you have with designing the perfect pattern for a block amazes me.
Thank you Tina!
Fun motif

Thank you!
Love this motif! Thank you for sharing and I'm glad your back!
This was such an amazing class! Love this block with the contrasting thread, so pretty!
Thanks Savannah!
Wowwwwwww I love your work...I just have a mid arm ( sit down) machine . But I feel the urge to go try this. Thank you for showing us this pattern. ❤️
You are so welcome!

Beautiful.
Thank you!
What kind of scissors are u using? They look easier to clip threads than the ones I’m using. Thanks.
Just snips. I'll have to check on the brand for you.
Fantastic tutorial & music! What are you doing with the threads you trim off? I don’t want to toss them on the shag carpet floor.
I do have a small garbage bin under both sides of my frame so I try to hit those. Whatever the bin misses, the floor catches. I don't have carpet though so it's easy to sweep or vacuum it up.
@@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 - thank you, I thought maybe there was some neat gadget I could buy.

I can't get the link to work 😥
terryna zigurs I’m sorry Terry, I didn’t realize it didn’t drop it as a link. Let me try paste it again here in a moment.
I could not access the file 🤔
@@jacquelyncurll3601 I went to the site and put it in my cart (free) then processed it as an order. It sent me a link that allowed me to download it.
It takes a lot of talent and spacial awareness to go backwards, upside down and frontwards to make it all look so even. Fantastic job!
could you please tell me what your "eraser" pen is? I'd love to have one like it
It's from BlueLine Eraser. Great stuff!

Thanks for coming aboard! I drive APQS machines. This video was done on my 2017 Lucey. I love my Lucey! ❤️
@@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 … I can tell that you love your Lucey!
beautiful as always!! Love this
Absolutely love it thank you thank you thank you
Thank you! :)
Love your work! So glad you’re back!
Thank you! Me too. :)
I loved the video & design, however, I couldn’t open the link🤔
Where can I buy a pen like you are using?
I would like more info on it also. Can it be refilled and is it just water? I looked on your site and didn't see it.
I would love to know what the pen is you used to remove the blue marker. I think I have died and gone to heaven with all your videos! I have moved from a table to frame and learning all over again.
It's a refillable felt tip. I'm working on bringing them into my shop/online store. I love them. :)
