Thanks a lot. for posting these.

I'm hoping to make a "t-shirt quilt" with all my old soccer jerseys and I've never quilted before. :B

Lame tutorial and her quilting is terrible. gees I would slit my wrists if my quilting looked that bad on the back of a quilt after putting all the work in the top...she should remove these.

@tukukita08 I don't know if they all suck, but this one definately was lame. I want to see someone push through a Q or K sized quilt. Baby Quilts and wall hangings, meeh! Too bad it wasn't rated for difficulty. I would have by-passed it in a heart-beat.

Your Videos really suck, I hate myself when I click it by mistake, you got problems with what you title and what you post . BTW you have no idea how to do quilting, you should get more experience.

No mention of invisible thread here - I'd go with that over any colour, you'll never match it up right. Plus you don't have to iron the seams to a certain side, things sit flatter and more evenly if you iron all seams open. She didn't mention that you need to TURN OFF the feeding mechanism on the machine, which most machines will have but some don't - it's just disengaging the teeth under the presser foot that guide the fabric through. Because you're quilting freehand, you don't need it.
