    "I found myself staring at this picture for the last 2 years." Absolutely relatable!

    I'm a longarm quilter myself and I still find this mesmerising to watch! I totally relate to the procrastination/being stuck when not knowing what designs to use and appreciate the time you took to verbalise your thoughts and film your process. The video turned out great, so thank you Kristina!

    Thank you for the details about stitch speed with ruler work. I love the idea of using the wider foot and still being able to keep the ruler along the edge of the last line quilted. Great explanations and a pleasure to watch. I can’t wait for more!

    This was outstanding! Christina, your voice is so easy to listen to, your explanations are precise, and you don’t feel like you have to talk every minute. This is the hardest part of quilting and I learned so many things just watching, stopping, and rewatching! Looking forward to the next video! Thank you!

    Thanks Kristina, I really enjoyed watching your process. I am at the point where I stall on starting because I can't decide how to quilt it! I also am glad you showed the tip on changing to Clear view after your quilt was basted.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I have had the Alaska quilt by LBQ on my to do list for quite some time. I live in California and went to the Road quilt Show and visited Edytas booth, met her and picked up the Alaska pattern and ruler finally! And I was so happy to find your video series. I haven’t even started the quilt yet, but I am intrigued with your detailed explanation of how you planned and executed Quilting on this beautiful quilt! I especially liked how you showed taking the bar off and switching to Clearview mode right in the middle of your project. I can’t wait to get started on my Alaska quilt, and when she’s all finished quilting her on my Amara, Miss Ellie! Thank you so much again. Oh, and I was happy to hear you are from Alaska! Beautiful state and can’t wait to visit again. Laurel

    I am so excited for this. I am a newer quilter (3 yrs) and I have taught myself FMQ on my domestic. I finished my Alaska quilt Feb 23 and know my skills cannot embellish it in the way I would like, but I am not willing to wait to enjoy this quilt. I refuse to pay for an E to E and give up on all the beautiful secondary patterns. So for Christmas family gave me money to have it custom quilted, but not enough to go crazy. So I have been trying to focus my thoughts to tell the Long armer what I am hoping to see and maximize her contribution, as it is likely the only quilt I will ever have customized professional quilting on. I have searched the internet for pictures of this with customized quilting and most show E to E. Good luck. I am cheering for you all the way!

  • @dianemccormick4646
    @dianemccormick4646 5 місяців тому +1

    You said you wasted the quilt to the leader cloth because it would be taken on and off to accommodate doing customer quilts in between. So do you have two sets of leader cloth?

  • @dianemccormick4646
    @dianemccormick4646 5 місяців тому

    That bar that is close to you that has the leader cloth wrapped around it… The Quilt typically goes over that bar. But you have it under. So the flat surface that you are quilting would be sloped downhill towards you. How are you making that work?

    • @HandiQuilter
      @HandiQuilter  5 місяців тому

      In the video, I talk about how I have already basted the entire quilt top to the batting/backing. The quilt top pole is therefore left without anything attached to it. It is still loaded properly and is level. During the video, I also show how I changed to clearview part way through the video.
