Machine Quilting Help

What has tripped me up more than anything else in the quiltmaking process?

Without a doubt, it is the quilting.

This morning I did a Facebook Live for Annie’s Catalog and Quilter’s World.

It was sponsored by Handi Quilter and I quilted live on their HQ Capri, a stationary longarm with 18″ of throat space. It is dreamy.

In this video, I share tips on what questions to ask yourself and I quilt several different kinds of patterns on the HQ Capri. Take a peek, we start officially at about 02:10. You can drag the progress marker to 2:10 if you don’t care to hear the friendly chit-chat at the beginning. 😊

Learn more about the HQ Capri stationary longarm.

Christmas Bells was designed by Wendy Sheppard of Ivory Spring.

The original Christmas Bells by Wendy Sheppard appears in the Winter 2021 issue of Quilter’s World.

Find the pattern for Christmas Bells in the Winter issue of Quilter’s World, on newsstands now.

You can also order it online or check out the digital download.

You might wonder why I create online content for companies like Annie’s, Quilter’s World and Handi Quilter.

I do freelance work for companies that provide valuable tools and supplies to quilters around the world. I promote companies I truly believe in. I am paid for my work whether you make a purchase or not so everything is upfront and transparent here. I am honest about what I think you’d use and benefit from.

Thank you for visiting Stash Bandit! 😊
