Thorough demonstration of one method of how to load a quilt. This was very helpful for me seeing you demonstrating step-by-step your process as well as the reasons for each step. Looking forward to additional videos.

Thank you for watching!

[@jeanetteallen616]

This was a very informative tutorial. Can not wait for the third one.

[@janecaldwell6118]

Fantastic! This was an excellent refresher before longarming again after more than 6 months off! Please do more.

[@marylinangeloff2929]

This was a wonderful refresher class for me! Thank you so much❤️ I haven’t touched my machine in a year and am anxious to get back to it but I also need a great review, which this was🙏🏼

[@18anniebug]

I like to pin also. It just works better for me. Loved your video.

[@margaretsuehackett6505]

[@Darlsc1]

This was a great video for us new to the longarm. Thank you! Looking forward to more videos from you.

[@melissapagliai9813]

I prefer pinning too!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thank you

[@angelafaulk5843]

Love this video! I prefer pinning but am still new to this. Do you have any tips on getting a straight edge on the backing fabric?

[@urbanelementzdesigns]

Thank you for your question, Angela. We recommend the selvage edge whenever possible, which is always a straight edge.

[@saraseagrist9567]

Where did you get your short quilt clips w/ the flowers? Love them. I've only seen the 24" long plain ones.

[@urbanelementzdesigns]

I got mine from Quilters Apothecary, they are sold in units of three, see link below.

The beautiful decals I added are from Urban elementz, and are sold in a variety of decorative patterns. see link below.

Your 6/27/20 post is pre-basting a quilt sandwich before loading on the long arm. Are you basting on the long arm because this quilt is a king size?

[@urbanelementzdesigns]

The longer you do anything, the more ways you learn to do them. It is a little harder to baste all three layers off of the frame for a King size quilt. So, yes, that is why I did it differently in this video. But, also, I do like to show a variety of ways to do any one thing, because Not every technique works for every person, or every situation.

[@jewelymosier9229]

Hello, what quilt pattern is that? Thank you.

[@urbanelementzdesigns]

This was a client quilt, but I believe you would find it under the name "winding ways". As it is an old pattern, you would find many variations.

[@heathervoss6773]

Where can I buy the leaders with the marks on them? I currently have plain leaders and having lines on them would be great to have vs my plain.

[@urbanelementzdesigns]

Hi Heather, we apologize for the delayed response. These leaders are canvas and came with the purchase of the longarm. You could buy them from Bernina, but you could also get a pigma pen and a ruler and mark your own.

[@kathyskaggs4245]

I loved the information in this video but the faint humming music in the background was so distracting.

[@urbanelementzdesigns]

We apologize and hope our video quality has improved over the years!
