The number one feature to look for when upgrading your sewing machine for free motion quilting

2 Comments

I remembered the time when I was choosing a sewing machine for quilting specifically.

This one was to upgrade the one I already own at the time after I have fallen in love with free motion quilting and quilting in general. 

And that said, the one I owned at that time wasn’t bought specifically for quilting purpose.

chain piecing sew effectively

Did you know, I’ve never seen a real patchwork quilt with all the fun shapes and details until I went into a quilt shop to get myself a machine for my sewing hobby? (I use to sew garments)

Yup, we don’t quilt in Malaysia. It is not the right weather for it, though they are pretty and we do appreciate it.

In fact, these days, the China-made patchwork (those manufactured in large scale and uses cheater fabrics) are quite popular in Malaysia these days.

No, they are not the same as our handmade quilts. But, for those who don’t quilt and don’t really have the eye to appreciate handmades.

Hmmm. You must know at least one person like that don’t you?

They would be like,

“how much is your quilt? “

And then you answered.

And they’ll be like….

“what???? I can get that for a fraction of price.”

Yup. that person.

Anyway, let them be.

Cause we will never compete with mass production and our handmade is way better if you really do appreciate handmade and custom made items

Well, anyway, back to the story –

Getting a new machine.

Are you planning on upgrading your current one?

If you are, what is the one thing you look for?

I’ll share with you what I went for and why I am SO glad I did in this very post. Keep on scrolling.

Quilt backing Ideas

32 Comments

How to know when to buy yards and yards of fabrics for backing?

Do you stash fabrics that are specifically for backing a quilt?

They need to be a large piece for sure and buying large pieces of fabrics is risky.

In the end, it may seems that all of your quilt doesn’t match the backing fabric you have in stash. Have you been in this situation before?

And if there are any fabrics, the fabric is not enough to back a quilt. Ughhh.

That’s me. Cause I rarely ever buy more than 3 yards of the same fabric. Not even on when they’re on sale.

I think 3 yards is the max.

Unless it’s a white solid. I buy those on bolts.

In today’s post, I’ll let you know how I get around with that and share with you some of the ways to work mix matching fabrics to make a quilt back large enough for your quilt.

3 easy free motion quilting design to finish a quilt

3 all-over free motion quilting design for a quick finish + free printable templates!

Whether that is just to quilt by stitching in the ditch, to stitch straight lines or even free motion quilting it. Or hand quilting it (which I believe will take even longer).

In the end, it will depend mostly on two factors.

One, the final outcome.

Whether you want it densely quilted, the overall fluffiness of the quilt, the look you are targetting for etc.

Two, the time it will take to complete the quilting.

Time will vary for different people depending on their capabilities. However, I do believe that with enough practice and motivation, one can master all type of design motif easily.

Though, they’ll still have to think about the time for some quilting designs are denser and requires a longer time to get it done.
