Vintage Quilt Top END/BOTTOM Finish on a Longarm

This will explain how I finish the bottom or end of a vintage quilt top on the longarm. I use starch and steam to control and tame the excess fabric. See the "release video" here! www.youtube.co...

Love all the information. So helpful Thanks for sharing. It’s so encouraging to those of us who are still novices. Thank you

Jenny Doan says something to the effect of 'finished is better than perfect' . Now it's usable. Now it's a quilt. Great.

Thanks!

Thank you - gives encouragement to me finishing my earliest quilts that are a wee bit puffy, although not quite on the scale of that vintage one. If it is possible to create a miracle like your quilting, well . . . hope for us all!

[@KellyClineQuilting]

It’s all possible!

[@quiltmekiwi]

A beautiful finish. I look forward to seeing how you decide to finish the edges
I wish we saw more vintage tops here in New Zealand.

Thank you! 😊

great tips..perhaps you should mount the camera on the longarm, so it is visible, what you are doing

[@KellyClineQuilting]

The problem when filming alone, the whole quilt needs to be seen at times and then I need close ups at other times. Getting the best angle is always hard. I’m definitely not a techie!

[@cuteyrupert9483]

Very informative, I think it would work with hand quilting also, yes?

[@KellyClineQuilting]

Hand quilting lets you manipulate puckers and wrinkles easier, so yes! The starch and steam wouldn’t be possible unless you ‘block’ the top first.

[@marthawilson5443]

Do you ever worry about the dyes running in newer fabric when you water, steam and starch the top?

[@KellyClineQuilting]

I test in a small area before doing the whole thing.

[@LIGHT-OF-THE-SOUL]

Thank you for this technique 🙌 ❤❤

[@ufoquilter86]

Will the water, start and steam method work for a quilt that has already been starched before they started piecing?
I am referring to a newly made quilt

[@KellyClineQuilting]

It should, once it’s on a longarm, sometimes all it needs is water then steam.
