Free Motion Quilting: How to Use Swirl Template By Dabline

- Simple steps of how to use the Swirl Template for free motion quilting:
1. To begin practicing use a practice quilt and place the grip on top of the practice quilt.
2. Place the template inside the grip and line up your FMQ foot with the start position of the template.
Tip: You can practice moving with the template either with your sewing machine off or you can practice with it on by removing the top and bobbin thread. This will allow you to figure out what speed you want to go with the needle and not have to remove any unwanted stitches.
3. When you are ready to practice the movements, slowly start moving the grip and template, following the curve of the template with the edge of your FMQ foot. You want the foot to always be touching the edge of the template. Take the movements nice and slow. Also make sure you are moving smoothly, not hurky jerky.
4. When you reach the stop position…Stop!
5. You are now ready to flip the template over so it is a mirror image of what it was for the first movement. Now follow the curve of the template down till you reach the bottom of the template at the next stop position.
Once your practice swirls look great, then you are ready to start sewing on your quilt project!

I just got my set of dabline and so happy I did. This is going to make quilting so easy and beautiful. I am a beginner quilter and had no idea what to do. This simplifies quilting. Thank you dabline!!
We're so glad you're here, Cindy! Happy quilting
Great tutorial. Thanks for showing how to use the sewing foot and the templates.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Very clear and concise. Easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!
You are a great template tutorial teacher 🧵
I’ve never seen the dab line template set before. This is fabulous, thank you.
Thank you, Heidi!
@@Dabline do you know if it ships to Australia? I’d love to buy the set.
Mazing good luck mother 👍
Glad I saw this I have one of those coil rulers and would have really messed up my project. Thank you.
Glad to help! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Happy quilting!
I can’t wait to get started, thank you 😊
Let us know if you need help with anything. Happy quilting!
@@Dabline where are you located please? And do you ship to Australia. Thank you?
We’re located in San Diego, CA, USA. At this time, we only ship within the United States.
Does Dabline have any plans to produce a frame that has a pathway (opening on the side) like their templates have so the ruler foot can slip easily into the frame and templates? Between the thickness of a quilt sandwich plus the thickness of Dabline's quilting frame, that's quite a lift that not all ruler foots can easily clear without having to remove the ruler foot each time.
For now, we only have the closed frame. Using your gloves, you can easily place your templates in and out.
I've finally found the courage to quilt my tops. I purchased this template about 6 months ago. Is there anyway to use this particular template without having to break the thread?
This is the only template we have that is not designed for continual stitching.
Is there a way to keep them going without breaking thread?

Thank you for watching, Alice!
What technique is used to achieve the look of the video thumbnail? It has swirls, hearts, and cloud combined.
Hi Teresa, thanks for watching our video! We will be uploading a new video next week explaining how to use more than one template together to achieve these gorgeous results.
@@Dabline did you upload the video of using more than one template?
can these rulers be used on a longarm machine
These templates are 5mm thick. We recommend using templates that are at least 1/4 inch (6mm) thick to prevents the longarm's hopping foot from jumping on top of the ruler, which could damage the quilting machine or even your quilt.
Oh I need that dabline, I already have the swirl template. How do I order the dabline?
You can purchase Dabline’s quilting templates using this link:
dabline.com/products/quilting-templates
the problem is How to you go from one set of swirls to the next without having to interrupt your threads , I was excited about the tools to use but that part was not shown and as a newbie in that use of it would help to use in the continuation of it without the breaks of thread . it would be okay for little projects but a major issue for it to be all over a quilt. Please show us that part. thank you so much.
This particular template is not designed for continual stitching.
This is the only template we have that is not designed for continual stitching.
@@Dabline 6yank yoy so very much. I thought it was me missing something.. well I guess it was me. Still thank you for letting me know.
that's what i'm wondering also....
How small of a design can you do?? I do a lot of miniature quilts.
Out templates dimensions are 5x5 inch, so for this design, it's probably 2.5 inch size. How small do you quilt?
You might explain the difference between low shank and high shank machines, and the difference between the presser feed for each.
Absolutely! Here is the link to that video:

Do you backstich when you use templates?
There is no need to backstich
I am not understanding how you begin and stop...how do you keep the thread from unraveling. I did not see you back stitch??
Bo needs to do any back stitching. You continue quilting where you end the last stich.
I have tried and I just don’t get it.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask
My practice piece did great. The quilt, not. Thread breaking. Stitching not smooth. Seems like the foot gets hung up on seams. If I raise it and try to adjust the stitches don’t stitch. Maybe tomorrow I can make it work
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Did you try it again?
@@Dabline no I didn't. Just FMQ without the template. Did pretty good without it.
I wasted my money on these. Only heartache and struggle with my Patchwork sewing machine. I can't get the fabric to move with the templates no matter how many times i have tried. Great video but so frustrating!
I'm so sorry you've been struggling! Did you check your machine manual to see if it requires a specific, same brand, ruler foot? If it doesn't, make sure you're using the correct universal foot.
