Beginner Free Motion Quilting on a Sewing Machine + Stitch Stippling

Great video, great topic, thanks for sharing it 👍

Excellent presentation!

Where can I buy a bobbin washer and a supreme slider?

Of all the FMQ videos I’ve watched (gobs), you are the first to mention the reason for setting the stitch length to 0, and informing the relationship to the feed dogs! Oh my goodness, THANK YOU!!! I’m dashing off to try this!!

Leah, very nice job with your explanations..😉 I'm interested in learning quilting, in particular small blocks, maybe pillow cases, throws. Listening to as many videos as I can find is helping me choose who I can understand better. Thanks for the good instruction...👍

Awesome video! Thank you so sew much! The best tutorial. Question from anyone, what if you don't have machine with needle down?

Wow, super video. I'm finally ready to try this. Glad I found you! Great stuff, playlist binging is coming.

It seems soooo intimidating!!!! I have a bernina q16 and can’t sit to quilt, thanks fir this video I will try it with your video it’s encouraging

Going to try! Good instructions 😊

Thank you for explaining free motion quilting so well.

Great video for beginners! Super helpful for someone just starting out and getting panicked!

do you sell the items you recommended using?

Wonderful teachers and video thanks

Leah what brand of quilting gloves do you use and which ones do you recommend?

I thought you HAD to lower the feed dogs for free motion! Mind blown.

Thank you. , I’m practicing a block at a time…😅

why don't you use a free motion hoop?

Muy clara y optimista tu clase, es frustrante no lograr con la máquina,lo que mis manos desean, voy a intentar practicar mucho más. Gracias.

Hello Leah. I’m a new Subscriber. I love the way you explain how to do a free motion quilting, I have been wanting to try this. I feel like I can actually do this after watching your video! Thank you so much.

Great teacher

I was finding quilting daunting as a beginner. Then I came across your tutorials. WOW, amazing. You go slowly and accurately for any beginner to understand. I’m now off to start my first quilt for my granddaughter (after doing some sample practices). Thank you for sharing your expertise 🥰

Can one quilt on clothing one make?

Thank you, Leah. This was very informative and helpful. I’m jumping in! 😁

Thank you for such a great explanation!

Leah, what marking pen do you use?

What a great teacher. Thank you. I'm not QUITE as intimidated!

You touched on several things I have never seen in other videos, subscribed today, thank you

Thank you so much you have given me the confidence to free motion.

what type of marker do you recommend for marking patterns for FMQ, and also what brand of bobbin washers? I live in the UK so sometimes products are different and helps to know what others find work well. Thanks

I love yours explanacion! I am like vera, vera much

If you start full quilt in center, where do you go from there?

Hi Leah, I'm new to free motion quilting...so to try to do the stipple design...I use the running stitch? I have the Singer Patchwork sewing machine....I also purchase your block today that had the Stippling design, so I could trace it to my practice block.

Hi, what's a good beginner's free motion quilting machine to buy?

Wow. What a wonderful teacher you are !! thank you so very much xxx

Are feed dogs down?

Thanks, this is very good! I've been afraid to try this...but you've made it seem a lot easier than I "feared"! LOL Thanks for that!!

Excellent video!

Best intro that I've seen. Thank you!

Thank you so very much for all tips! I'm making a baby quilt for a gift, but so anxious about stippling the blocks. The pattern calls for it and looks lovely. I've been practicing on thin drawing paper without thread. I know it will be fine but just can't start on the actual quilt. I keep practicing on practice sandwiches & thread. I need to just do it!😱 I'll keep your video handy as I sew😍💕

This is one of the best free motion quilting tutorial I have seen

Thanks for the video. Really appreciate that you get into such detail. I’ve been extremely hesitant to try my hand at fmq. But after watching this video I think I’m going to try my hand at it! Thanks again😊
Would like to buy the bobbin washer that you showed. Can you please let me know where I can get them from? Thanks

What type of marker were you using to mark on the fabric. Thank you for the great video!!

Great video. Thank you. What brand of gloves do you use for gripping?

Leah, really appreciate your videos, you explain the process in such great detail. Can you tell me the pen you used to write on your fabric? I have had quite the difficulty finding one that operates as smoothly as the one you used. Thank you!

Thank you Leah ! You are a good teacher !

You instructions gave me the confidence to try a small mini quilt and use your method. I am proud of the results!

My Janome 1600P DBX will not let me put the stitch length on zero. If I put it on zero, the upper stitches are not individual stitches- looks like a straight line of thread.

Thank you for this. I’ve never heard of bobbin washer.

Hello Leah! I have been interested in free motion quilting for a while and have watched other videos, but yours has been the best! Your explanations were easy to understand and I liked how you spoke as you actually did the quilting so I could "see" what you were talking about. Thank you also for the suggestion for additional tools. It's hard for me at age 70 to learn new things, but I think now I can do this. Thank you. I will be eager to watch future videos.

What kind of batting do you use for sandwiching your quilt?
