Free Motion Quilters 8 years, 4 months agoFor those of you who have not seen my blog post, check it out and then if there are any burning questions I can answer them for you.
Also, I am going to make this a closed group. This will help to ensure that you can share information and photos without any spoilers for potential receivers of gifts etc..-
Hi Linda, what thread did you use on Silver linings it looks like rayon quite fine. Your quilting is so beautiful and precise.

Hi Wendy. I used Glide by FilTec. You can get it from Cotton Patch and Pinhole Quilting should be getting it on their website soon. It is a 40wt trilobal poly which has a lovely sheen. Superior Bottom Line in the bobbin. 🙂

Thanks for the info, an American friend has mentioned it in the past so I’m pleased I can get some to try. I’m surprised it’s 40wt which I thought would build on the surface too much for micro quilting but it’s worked well and as you say it’s coloured the sections. Good effect. I use the bottom line already for bobbin and piecing. It’s fine so…[Read more]

Hi, I love free motion quilting but need to keep practicing to keep skills up. I’d love to see some tuition on different ideas and then we have a go and post our results in a gallery. All levels all wanting to improve 🙂

PROJECT LINUS – STOCKTON ON TEES 8 years, 4 months ago“A quilt is a hug you can keep”

We continue to grow an army of amazing volunteers from our own community as well as from across the country and in October 2017 we held a display of over 200 quilts. Ama…[Read more] -

Free Motion Quilters 8 years, 4 months agoHello ladies.
Just thought I would have a quick catch up. I can see that there are both longarm quilters and domestic quilters in the group which is just great. I would like to know what you like to be addressed here over the next few months. Is there any technique that you would like to see. Do you have a question about designs and how to…[Read more]-
Hi Lynda, I would like to know how you go about planning designs when you are FMQ, especially on a large quilt. Do you have something in mind when you start or is it something that just evolves? TIA
-
It depends on the quilt top or whether it is going to be a wholecloth. Also it depends on what the customer wants and the effect they want. This can be something that we can look into and discuss in more depth on here is people want that.

Hi Lynda & co. I am fairly new to patchwork and quilting and have been trying to learn all the techniques over the last 2 ½ years. FMQ has been the technique I have struggled with the most – I just cannot draw! Tomorrow I am attending my first of 3 classes to hopefully learn some basics. Off my own back, I have been doing lots of FMQ raw edge em…[Read more]

Hi, I am very new to all this … well, yes I am! In terms of FMQ. I am attending a workshop in March to start my own journey, so, my question to you all is what would you recommend I could be doing to prepare, bearing in mind my current experience is a couple of failed attempts and a screwed up mess in the corner of the sewing room where it…[Read more]

Doodle, when ever you can. FMQ is a lot to do with muscle memory which then gives you one less thing to think about. If you see a design you like, trace it out over and over again.
