A New Video Tutorial - FMQ Traveling Loops and Hearts
Have a little Valentine's projects in the works?? Trying to decide how to finish it up?? If so, you might be in the same boat as I was yesterday. In finishing up my new Valentines quilt (Tutorial coming to the MBS soon, just waiting to hear on the date :) I decided to try a new Free Motion Quilting design that would represent this holiday full of love. So what represent love more than hearts?? So I created a little all over design that travels with loops and has adorable little hearts tied in. And since I thought it might be helpful to you as well, I made a little video. Enjoy ;)

Looks great, neat idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I attempted something similar with a runner that I made, but I had no idea what I was doing. =) I guess next time, I'll do a little better. =) Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa. I was just thinking of finding a tutorial for something like this. Perfect timing! It was fun to hear your voice, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the demonstration. You make it look so easy! I can see that drawing the pattern on paper before trying it on the machine is a good way to get it right.
ReplyDeleteVery helpful video, love the hearts and loops :)
ReplyDeleteFun idea :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial. I like it when you show how to do it on the paper first. Great idea! Thanks for the reminder to get back to free motion. K-
ReplyDeleteI love this video. I am still learning how to FMQ. It is so helpful to SEE someone do it. I also love that pattern. Such a fun quilting for a girl quilt!!. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteExcellent tutorial thank you for sharing. You make it look so easy and I love hearts so this is something I want to try eventually when I am a little better.
ReplyDeleteHi, Melissa. I used this technique on my friendship swap bag. I think the best hearts ended up on the bottom, lol! See it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46475752@N05/8515842379/in/photostream/
