Excellent solution!

This is just one of many fantastic tips that I've learned from you. Thanks so much!

Nice!!!!

Susan, have you used Isachord’s Yenmet Metallic thread? I swear by Kingstar but it’s more expensive and I’ve hesitated to try it on my long arm. Thanks!

I'm hooked on your quilting. This design will be my next project! I had wanted to try feathers, but this changed my mind!!

Good thread info! Have most colors. Love Fabulux also

It is most seriously artistry!

Love the "quilting practice", as we continue to learn from you and others.

Do you backstitch at all?

Oh my ...time-saving tips! I've got to try this. I spend a lot of time picking each top stitch. Thanks Susan!

What is the weight of your thread for longarm quilting? does the isacord come in different weights? what size of needle for the thread? where can I get more information on this product?

I love Glide 40 wt thread!

Hi fro. KY

❤ thank you

So funny that you said I need to relax, I don't really need to be that close to my stitching! I was just thinking right before you said that, that you would be sore if you didn't back off a little bit! I did get some of the rulers you are using! Love them. I agree with the ones who said to be happy with the work in the roses. It is very sweet and I would love it if I could do that myself! You are awesome and such a wonderful teacher.

Forgot to mention, I love the new lighting! Big improvement!!!

I've done a fair amount of FMQ'g on my Bernina domestic and I think you're being hard on yourself! I think you are doing just fine!

Can you give the thread color numbers/shade for each thread cone you use? Is Isocord offer 40 or 50 wt thread or both; what do you use? Does thread card offer needle size recommendations? Thanks, Susan, for sharing your great thread tips!

Thanks for your information on threads. Would you be able to share where you get the large cones from? Often, I only see the small cones of Isacord.

From what company do you purchase your thread?

Is this 40wt?

Do you change colour of the bobbin tread if/when you change tread colour in a quilt ?

I am so glad I found your channel. Fairly new to quilting. Just dive right in. Learned how to sew and quilt pretty much at the same time. 2 of your videos and I’ve learned so much already. Thank you!!!

I just got a new longarm machine and my dealer swears by Superior So Fine (which is what I have been using until I get more familiar with different brands and types). So far, so good. Thanks for your personal recommendations!

Great idea! Usually piece my backing so have already used zipper idea...worked very well. Thanks so much for sharing!❤

Thanks for the thread tips! ❤

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

Thank you. Is it possible to put the shade numbers by the names like the red one, because over here they are named differently but the numbers are the same.

What size needle?

Interested in thread.

Interested

I've been catching up with your older CZcamss. You mentioned using your fingernail on the underside of your quilt. Several years ago, I owned a Nolting that wasn't happy unless I had some at least one tension problem. My solution to be sure my bobbin thread was behaving was a small hand held mirror and a small flash light, worked like a dream.

I iron all my pieces in half BEFORE I sew them together for the long binding strip. Once sewn I trim and press just the seams. I then fold accordion style. I lay that on my lap at the sewing machine and nothing gets tangled as I sew it on the quilt.

I just finished “The Other Einstein” audio book. Very Good book.

While I grant that many find this a helpful aid, I did some research on the chemical compounds of vodka. I found that there is absolutely no starch residue in vodka-potato or otherwise. (Distillation process eliminates). It is essentially ethanol and water and some additive based on distiller.. The properties of ethanol are likely conveying the attractive qualities.

2 TBSP for the water, 1TBSP for me 😊

I just bought the pattern for the quilt behind you.🥰

You should have seen the faces around the rehearsal table when I told my daughterinlaw's family (from Kazakhstan, where vodka is a favorite beverage), that I have never drunk vodka, but use it for ironing! Her father said he could pay his laundry less, if he allowed them to iron with vodka, but his vodka bill would go up, lol!

I use it all the times . shake well before using .

Thanks for a great tip.

Great tip! Potato vodka has a nice full-bodied flavor and is a good source of potassium. Love it when we can multipurpose things! 😅

So glad I watched you. I had gotten about this. Thank you so much. They quilt behind you is beautiful

This is a great tip!!

Hi Susan, wisconsinite here, I tuned in to help me decide which color thread to use. I have a black border with diamonds on point .I was thinking of mirroring a color in the quilt, such a light green.. it would be awesome to find answers like these, but usually I go on my own intuition. Any advice?

I use a lint roller to get the big threads and pick the little ones

Love to watch you longarm , I'm learning some skills .. thanks

Stunning quilt. I think you chose the perfect quilting. It adds texture to the hexie without taking away from it.

That's is a beautiful quilt. Love those colors.

The love of creating something special. And then I started longarming because I didn’t love being on my knees on the floor, plus I wanted to finish my own quilts.

I agree! Picking Threads before you give to your longarmer is so helpful!
