Free Motion Quilting on Block Spools| Sewcial Bee Sampler

No Comments
NOTE : I no longer promote Craftsy/Bluprint as I used to due to the way the subscription is currently being carried out. I had the issue of cancelling my subscription when the company changed hand and I find that cancelling through calls is inconvenient. However, I do still stand behind these classes I promote and if you are subscribed, you can surely check these classes I recommend on the platform. If you are looking for another online platform to learn craft such as quilting, do check out CreativeBug. It is much cheaper in subscription (subscribe now 3 months for only $5). Thank you.

 

I am sharing with you today how I quilted block 17 – Spools. In this post, you’ll learn how to free motion quilt a cute leafy strands motif and see how I have incorporated feathers into the custom quilt block this time.

If you are new here, this post is a part of my quilt-as-you-go my Sewcial Bee Sampler, a sew-along hosted by Sharon Holland and Maureen Cracknell. I plan to share along the process with some tips and tutorial.

As usual, I have two blocks made for two quilts, one with custom quilting and one with allover quilting. Both would be a great practice if you are looking towards improving your free-motion skill. I am still practicing myself, especially with the custom quilting. I am learning as I go, so let’s do this together!

5 of the best recommended sewing machines for free motion quilting

50 Comments

I listed here my top 5 free-motion quilting sewing machines that I feel would be a great choice if you’d like to make a transition from your basic sewing machine to a proper quilting one.

So,

What is the difference between a quilting sewing machine and a regular sewing machine?

The main difference has to be the size of the throat. THIS is going to help so much when working with large projects like quilts. If you would love to be quilting your own quilt and create lovely design by free-motion quilting , the large throat will definitely be of great help. Of course, a long arm would be great but..

If you have been dreaming of a better sewing machine to free-motion quilt with, but you’re still not quite ready to invest in a professional long-arm machine,

or if you have a bigger beginner budget and know that you are going to be indulged further in this world of quilting,

then, you are in the right place.

Because in this post, I am going to list out the top 5 quilting sewing machine that is going to make your sewing and quilting more swift and enjoyable!!

Sunday Slow Stitching #05

5 Comments

Welcome to the series of my slow stitching projects documentation.

Basically, I wanted to document the slow progress of my hand-stitched projects on a weekly/forthnightly basis for a couple of reasons:

  1. I wanted to make myself accountable and make sure I do sit and enjoy hand-stitching at least one session per week.
  2. Documenting progress is always something I love to do. In fact, that is why this blog started anyway.
  3. To create excitement even with little progress. Small progress does matter!
  4. I hope I can inspire you to do the same too. So share your slow stitching projects you’re working on too in the comments.

For this week, what has been growing?
