I do not quilt but I am intrigued!! I want to put designs on my shirt pocket or on the yoke of my shirt. I love the video, I am convinced I need to buy a darning foot!!! Thanks for the video🙂🙂
This was amazing! I had no idea I could quilt so easily with a sewing machine. I once made a queen-sized quilt completely by hand because I thought that's how you have to do it and I have been avoiding quilting anything else ever since because I didn't have the time. This gives me hope and inspiration!
Wow 😳 you are so talented!!! You banged that big chunk of quilting out in no time and made it look so easy and effortless. That’s how u know you’ve mastered something is when u make it look easy. So beautiful 😍
Angela, you are one of the most fascinating people to watch in all of the quilting process. I remember you saying that everyone starts out the same, needing a LOT of practice. I have read a lot of these comments and feel better knowing I am not alone. I have bought some of your rulers for a home machine and need to work on that which may help with the nerves of free motion to go away. Thanks so much for your continued support, great bubbly personality and your time.
Wow, I just watched your video and experienced “freestyle”. I am looking to quilt the back of my daughter’s “mommy” quilt for nursing and you gave me many ideas. Thank you.
You never stop amazing all of us. I learn sooooo much from you, not just here, but on Craftsy, your books and dvds. Thank you for the quilt along, I signed up. I do wish those of us that DO NOT do facebook or other social stuff could post our pictures by email, a thought for you my dear. I just watched this and noticed you have no pins. How do you baste your quilts when quilting on home machines??? Thanks for everything you share with all of us, we can NEVER get enough of you! What a blessing your are.....hugs to you. Claudia
My girl and I were looking at making a baby blanket for a good friend of mine but she said I don’t know how to do batting or how they do that. This video you showed us was amazing and made it clear. I can’t thank you enough, I’m sure she thanks you too😁
I've taken three of your Craftsy classes and by far, this video helped me the most. You made it look so easy. So I put foot to pedal and dived into that border I'd been avoiding and guess what? I Did It!!! Whoo-Hoo. Even the pebbles. Yes, I practiced first but what you've given me is confidence to just dive in and get it done. Thanks girl. You were just what I needed.
Angela, you really inspire me to try different free motion w uilting. I really appreciate you emphasizing echoing and your confidence in your viewers to succeed. Thanks for all the tutorials.
I'm just beginning this quilting...man it's hard, but you make it look so easy and smooth💕I'll keep practicing and practicing and practicing.....Thank you for your videos so much. Your work is Gorgeous!!!!
Watching you fmq is like watching Bob Ross paint. You start with a blank canvas and a beautiful image magically appears. Not only are your tutorials/videos magical but also inspiring. Keep up the good work.
You make quilting look easy but I have realized that when I practice I feel more comfortable. I thought that the quilting should be very uniform and the same using different designs only in certain blocks I love the relax way your teach thanks Well off to see if I can relax and do some quilting on the pile of quilts waiting for me. If only I could quilt faster. Lol
Fantastic video, Angela -- Here I was thinking I should be as quick on my domestic as you are quilting on the longarm (or as fast as it looks in the other videos) -- thank you for slowing the stitching down a bit here. Looking forward to your quiltalong!
Добрый день! Огромное Вам спасибо за Ваши мастер классы...У Вас очень красивые изделия...Еще раз большое спасибо за то , что делитесь своим опытом...УДАЧИ!!!
Dear Girl, I hope you are feeling better. Thank you so much for this new series for those of us who follow your every move. This is really great, so clear and easy to follow, so ANGELA!
I was trying to figure out what to quilt on a lap quilt and came across your Pebbles, Swifls, etc. video. Just what I needed! I have your Free Motion book and have used a lot of those designs, but haven't mixed them up very much. Your demo made it look easy, so I am going to go for it. I have used the hooked swirl a lot as well as a few of the other designs in that book. Thanks so much!!!
Quilting is my therapy also, but the free motion quilting causes me to need therapy. I’m working hard at it tight now, hoping for more fluidity. I struggle with my hands and feet being in sync, but that’s getting better too. Thank you for keeping it fun! And for stretching us!
I’ve been quilting for almost 4 years now. Your videos are the best. Someday, I hope to have the eye-hand coordination you have. My stitches are all different sizes, but it’s ok. The quilts are still fun to do and the recipients seldom notice😉. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I’ll be going through many bolts of fabric before I reach your level of brilliance! You just seem to glide over the fabric and your curves are round whereas mine are jagged when I’ve had a go at it. You make it fun to watch which inspires me to keep trying. Thanks again!
Am I correct in thinking the more stitches on a quilt, the stiffer it Is? You blow my mind with your designs. Keep teaching us, we might just get it! Thank you.
Thank you, Angela! This is just what I needed this snowy morning in Western NY, as I attempt to fmq my granddaughters baby quilt! Thank you for all of your help!
Angela you make it look so very easy!!!!! love your tutorials, each and every one!!!! Have a great day. Just received Slim and Squiggy today. Gonna start to practice. and practice.
I really appreciate your videos. They are practical, informative and funny too. When you stitch in the ditch to get to a new place, avoiding stopping and starting, do you worry about how the quilt back might look? Like not every block getting stitched in the ditch?
Hello Angela, I just thought of something you could teach us newer quilters . How about a jelly Roll quilt , how do you quilt all the lines and lines ? Sure would love to see your ideals . Thanks again .
Just started quilting. Learning a lot with your videos. I have a question, what if I ran out on bobbin thread in the middle of free motion quilting? Can you show us on UA-cam please.
Hi Angela, you're great! I love all your videos and books! Learned so much from you. Thanks so much for offering the new FMQ Challenge. I will definitely be quilting along with you and am looking forward to it! Your're the best!
Love this tutorial will be trying it out .And must do some with the rulers . Still a bi afraid to machine quilt ,have been making quilt tops for years but don't always get round to Quilting them.😁😎😉
Hi Angela I am a beginner quilter. I have a quilt top that’s ready to put batting and backing, now when I do free motion machine quilt do I have the backing side up? or the quilt top up. I would like to know which is the best way. Thank you so much, I love watching your videos. I like to hear your response. Have a great day,😀
Love your videos! Question: when you start quilting on a sewing machine, do you start in the middle of the quilt & work outward like with hand quilting? Or start at one end like long-arm?
Does this kind of improv quilting get easier the more you do it? I find myself feeling brain-exhausted after quilting even an 18" pillow cover this way, from trying to figure out what to quilt next. Love ALL of your tutorials, by the way; thanks for sharing!
Angela, do you start off with any kind of a general design in mind before you start quilting? Here it seemed like a quilt on the fly style, where you decide as you go what to quilt where.
Good Evening from cool and rainy Florida! This is a great video. But, when I did free motion quilting on a panel quilt I was doing, the front looks gorgeous, but the back has a huge pleat! What am I doing wrong? And how do I fix the pleat? Thanks in advance!
I enjoy your videos just as much as I enjoy Missouri Star Quilt Company's!!!!! Question......... I have a machine with long arm for quilting but I find quilting a large quilt difficult. Working on twin size now but there doesn't seem to be enough room to reach the center of the quilt. I'm new at this so would appreciate some tips on reaching the center using a sewing machine. Thanks!
Hi Angela, I have noticed that you don't pin your quilts. If I don't pin I end up with fabric bunched or pleated at the back of my quilt. What do you do to stop this? By the way I love the midnight quilt show. And you have enspired me to try stars on the new badies quilt not just crazy quilting which is my go to design. Love from down under. Diane ❤❤
Since nobody answered you, I will. It doesn't usually come with the machine - it's called a darning foot or a free-motion foot. They're pretty cheap on Amazon. I think I paid ten bucks for mine?
Love love love this! I will conquer this ... Thank you for being so willing to share your knowledge and experience! You are much appreciated for your kindness to us fellow quilters!
So Angela...stitch regulation or stitch size does not seem to matter? I seem to have some small close together stitches and some longer ones...I see you have too but I am hoping this fixes with time and practice. Love your work and you inspire confidence in me to at least have a go so THANKS!!!!
Michelle Charles, I have played around with the stitch length in free motion quilting to where the speed of both pedal and hands is the answer. Since the feed dogs are not engaged, these 2 things I mentioned have to be in good timing with each other along with the direction of the stitching line. Practice is the best way to make it work. I am still practicing. Oh, and you got to loosen up and breathe. LOL
LOL yep I do find I hold my breath...it will get easier I am sure and I would love to be as good as Angela....ah dream on hahahaha. Thanks for the reply.
What a great video. You make it look so easy! I'm trying to figure out how you quilt a Missouri Star quilt pattern. I don't want it to look boring. It's a patriotic quilt for my husband. He was in the Navy. I'm going to have his name and dates he served put in the border. But I don't just want to stitch in the ditch. I'm afraid anything else will look busy busy busy and take away from the design. How about if it just do a meander all over the center and put a design in the borders? What do ya think?
A meandering rope pattern, some wavy lines (not too dense) and a few waves, would add to the navy theme and not be overly fussy. Angela's video on this is "Machine Quilting Wavy Lines & Serpentines: Free-Motion Challenge Quilting Along"
I just got a Grace frame to put my domestic machine on, and the concept I'm struggling with is how to quilt a 6" wide strip, roll to the next section and quilt to have it look cohesive. I'd love any tips you might have or a demonstration video.
Hi Angela! Beautiful! Do you use the sheet (is it Teflon) to help your fabric glide over your machine bed easier? Also, I noticed you are always bare handed. I would like to be, but I can't seem to get the fabric to move very well without using machingers (gloves). Do you glue baste only instead of using pins? Thanks for all you do!
You are so awesome! It looks so easy, but then you have been doing it awhile. You make me feel that I can do it too. Watching you quilt, I try to imagine where you will go next and with which pattern (or at least what I would do, it really takes the fear out of it). You help me to just relax and have fun with it. My quilts are not going to Paducah or Huston to be judged, and we are our own worst critic - so yeah, I can just enjoy the process. Thank you so much! Marce in Tacoma, WA.
I do not quilt but I am intrigued!! I want to put designs on my shirt pocket or on the yoke of my shirt. I love the video, I am convinced I need to buy a darning foot!!! Thanks for the video🙂🙂

I bought two quilting feet for my Bernina. One is for ruler work. The other for free motion. Can’t wait to get started!
I just finished quilting a queen size quilt with swirls & echoes! It looks fabulous! Thank you for your tips & tutorials 🤗
does anyone post on this vides? Angela is like the ever ready bunny! Full of energy and passionate about her work!
You never stop amazing all of us. I learn sooooo much from you, not just here, but on Craftsy, your books and dvds. Thank you for the quilt along, I signed up.

i think she said she spray-bastes with fusible basting spray.
My girl and I were looking at making a baby blanket for a good friend of mine but she said I don’t know how to do batting or how they do that. This video you showed us was amazing and made it clear. I can’t thank you enough, I’m sure she thanks you too😁

You are an amazing young woman! Thanks for your great videos!
Angela, you are amazing! Thank you for remembering those of us on domestic machines! This is greatly appreciated!
You are my hero, I have improved so much from watching your tutorials and learning to relax and just give it a go. Oh, and echo, echo, echo! ❤️
We need some merch 😄
"Echo, echo, echo"
"Put a swirl on it"
"Gotta have my quilting juice" 🍷
Just some ideas 😂
Randa Wikoff my quilting juice is clear, I hope that doesn’t matter.
Angela, I have much more confidence in free motion quilting since I have been following our classes. Thanks for sharing your wonderful skills.
Too funny: "Fill it in with something"... you are so helpful Angela. Love your vids!
LOL it's the truth!!!
I'm just beginning this quilting...man it's hard, but you make it look so easy and smooth💕I'll keep practicing and practicing and practicing.....Thank you for your videos so much. Your work is Gorgeous!!!!
Watching you fmq is like watching Bob Ross paint. You start with a blank canvas and a beautiful image magically appears.

You make it look soooo easy. You are very talented.
Such a great and easy tutorial, thank you for sharing! 🥰
I have enjoyed your tutorials so much! i have actually started to paint my nails grey thinking it will help somehow LOL
I absolutely enjoy watching you quilt domestic or long arm. You are so creative. Your quilting is my therapy. I would love to learn to quilt like that
Am I correct in thinking the more stitches on a quilt, the stiffer it Is? You blow my mind with your designs. Keep teaching us, we might just get it! Thank you.
Thank you, Angela! This is just what I needed this snowy morning in Western NY, as I attempt to fmq my granddaughters baby quilt! Thank you for all of your help!
You make it look so easy.
Awesome. Glad to see it on a regular machine!
Gorgeous.
Wait this is done freehand? I had no idea! I thought these were like a setting or something lol. Wow I am impressed.
Angela you make it look so very easy!!!!! love your tutorials, each and every one!!!! Have a great day. Just received Slim and Squiggy today. Gonna start to practice. and practice.

You're really good. I am an artist and I still can't do machine designs. I need to learn how to make free hand designs on quilts!

Thanks for all the videos. It is helping me become a free motion quilter. I use my sewing machine.
Hi Angela, you're great! I love all your videos and books! Learned so much from you. Thanks so much for offering the new FMQ Challenge. I will definitely be quilting along with you and am looking forward to it! Your're the best!
So helpful!! Now Im anxious to try larger negative spaces
Echo, echo, echo, and fill it in with something. That is helpful, I'm off to do just that! Thank you for giving simple, do-able tips!
Best quilting video ever! Fun, to the point, and IT WORKS!!
Love this tutorial will be trying it out .And must do some with the rulers . Still a bi afraid to machine quilt ,have been making quilt tops for years but don't always get round to Quilting them.😁😎😉

You do such a lovely job!
I cant believe you are doing this randomly! You are amazing! How did you learn how to do this?
Great video Angela! I lovethe long arm and domestic machine tutorials. Really enjoying the focus on quilting.
Wow Angela you are fantastic
There are some longarmors out here who LOVE to see it on a long arm! Thanks for ALL you do!
I absolutely love your videos.🙋💖
OMG I have just come across your site & you make every design seem possible. Hope I can get near that stage in the near future. Thanks 😁
Thank you Angela.
You make this so easy
How fun! The designs look really pretty together!! Thank you for showing us this! Can’t wait to do the quilt along also!
Does this kind of improv quilting get easier the more you do it? I find myself feeling brain-exhausted after quilting even an 18" pillow cover this way, from trying to figure out what to quilt next. Love ALL of your tutorials, by the way; thanks for sharing!
Love this style of quilting you make it look so easy .
Beautiful result!
Angela!! 💙 Thank you!! You're the best!! I'm starting 2021 by quilting some UFO's.
Angela, do you start off with any kind of a general design in mind before you start quilting? Here it seemed like a quilt on the fly style, where you decide as you go what to quilt where.
you make it look so easy
You make it look easy!!
I love how you change up with the quilting designs but stay consistent. Does that make sense? Lol I love watching your videos!
Thank you so much for showing us. It really helped.
Love it - as always you're so inspirational. I'm getting much better now, more fluid and am loving the ideas. Thanks for all you do!
This looks so easy on a small practice swatch, but what about maneuvering a big quilt?
Those are beautiful, do you have any luck quilting a larger quilt on a home machine? Any tricks or tips for managing all of the extra fabric bulk?
Good Evening from cool and rainy Florida! This is a great video. But, when I did free motion quilting on a panel quilt I was doing, the front looks gorgeous, but the back has a huge pleat! What am I doing wrong? And how do I fix the pleat? Thanks in advance!

I love watching you and seeing your talent creating interesting pieces. Great work.
Are you using a ruler foot and not a free motion foot? Loving these tutorials, thank you.
I just Love your quilting!
You make it look so effortless!! Beautifully done as always!!
Thanks so much for the great video and much improved camera angle!
Hi Angela, I have noticed that you don't pin your quilts. If I don't pin I end up with fabric bunched or pleated at the back of my quilt. What do you do to stop this?

Excellent. I learned so much. What machine is that?
what drives the density of the quilting on a quilt? Should the quilting always be tight or should it be spaces out so the quilt is more flexible?
Does the round presser foot come with the machine or it’s bought separately?
Since nobody answered you, I will. It doesn't usually come with the machine - it's called a darning foot or a free-motion foot. They're pretty cheap on Amazon. I think I paid ten bucks for mine?
@@jsalyersarts thank you soo much J!
You make it look so easy but then it was on a small piece of fabric, how easy is it on a large quilt
what machine are you using in this video?
Angela, love you videos! What about uniformity with the quilting. Do you plan it out or just go with it.
Great stuff🏆🥇🎆✨🌈💡🕯🔎Bless you an family for taking your time for this video you are awesome 📣
This foot sawing machine we can use all kind the sawing machine right or just only special machine
Love love love this! I will conquer this ... Thank you for being so willing to share your knowledge and experience! You are much appreciated for your kindness to us fellow quilters!
Love this! Awesome idea! Can't wait to start!

Did you use adhesive spray to secure your layers?
Hi Angela! Beautiful! Do you use the sheet (is it Teflon) to help your fabric glide over your machine bed easier? Also, I noticed you are always bare handed. I would like to be, but I can't seem to get the fabric to move very well without using machingers (gloves). Do you glue baste only instead of using pins? Thanks for all you do!
