Free Motion Quilting with Stencils - Master the stipple and leaf meander
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- When you start free motion quilting, you are told to just do an all over meander, keep everything curvy and don't overlap your lines. It sounds easy to someone who has been quilting for a while. But to a true beginner, that can be very intimidating.
In today's tutorial I show you how to use stencils as a guide to learn and master the stipple and leaf meander. Once you have got the muscle memory down and have practiced moving throughout the quilt creating an even quilting texture, you can ditch the stencil and start getting creative.

This really makes sense to me now! Thank you so much for your ability to speak eloquently, understandably and knowledgeably about FMQ. I enjoy watching your tutorials. It takes time from your very busy life to make them for us and I just want you to know that in my area, sadly there are no classes to attend so CZcams is the only resource I have to improve my skills. Thanks to dedicated quilters and teachers like you I am able to learn, practice and fully enjoy this art!
Thank you so much for your comment! I love helping other Quilters get better and try new skills, so I am glad this one made sense to you.

Stephanie you are a very good teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
Thank you so much! Glad you find it helpful.
I really enjoy your down to earth honesty. Thank you for all your instructions. You are GREAT!
Thanks so much! I an glad you enjoy the videos.
OMG!!!!... I got one of these and it completely changed my quilting. It's so much easier to quilt with this. Thank you so much
I am so glad you made this video! I have quilted a little since I first learned quilting in 2006. I bought the pounce pad then and I really was not happy with it because my marks would disappear so quickly. Now that I am "new" to quilting again, I love the quilting videos! Now I can use the pounce and be happy with it! Thanks so much!
I have been putting off quilting on my own for so long. Thank you for putting this video together. I have everything you used but just didn't have the confidence in myself to do it on my own. Thank you for using two different stencils. I would not have know to flip it over. I'm still not looking forward to it but I have a lot of orphan blocks I could practice on. One every day, like you suggested. I liked "I can't believe I bought this fabric". Those always go on the back.
Good luck! You can do it!
Fantastic tip on the pounce pad :-) love the tutorial too!
Thank you so much for this!❤ Everyone else seems to want to teach how to make quilt tops and not actually how to quilt😮
I have just ordered several beginner level stencils from Full Line along with their pounce pad. I am so excited to find your videos explaining in detail how to use them. Although I've sewn for over 40 years, I'm new to FMQ. Thank you for your patience and clear instructions. I think once I learn to slow down a little, I'll be on my way.
Excellent instruction that is broken down into doable steps! Thanks so very much for your encouragement too!
Glad you found the video helpful!
Amazing! I've had a pounce pad for several years - never used it - didn't know how it worked. But thanks to watching your video tonight, I'm going to try it tomorrow. Yippee! Maybe you CAN teach an old lady new tricks! :-)
Glad you learned something new! Have fun giving it a go.
This is a great introduction to machine quilting. I am certainly going to try stippling. I really like your delivery and your explanations. It was so easy and interesting to watch. I will certainly look for more of your videos.
I am so happy I found this video. I have been wanting to do my own quilting . I can’t wait to get started.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you as this is the first time I have heard muscle memory through sewing.I have a real problem with doodling on paper to obtain muscle memory,I get to the sewing machine and draw a complete blank.I am going to try this and will let you know how it works out.Thanks again and I love your videos.
I really enjoy your teaching style. Thank you!
Thankyou so easy to follow. Enjoyed your teaching immensely.💖💖🌹🌹
Thanks for the lesson! Very easy to follow along
I am so glad I found you!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great instructions.
You are a wonderful teacher. I am so glad I discovered this tutorial. Thank you for your tips and encouragement for beginners who need to complete their quilts by using the stencil and chalk pounce pad. I anxiously await the pounce pad and stencil in the mail. God bless you.
Great video! It was informative and gave me the confidence to try free motion quilting
Fabulous! Can’t wait to see what you create. Post a picture to Instagram with the hashtag #quiltaddictsanonymous so we can see it.
Thank you so much, this tutorial was very helpful for me...you make me feel very relaxed about trying this out and I was pretty tense prior to watching.
Good luck! The stencils will help you as you get started because you don’t have to worry about where to go next.
These will be very helpful. I have not machine quilting before. I'm glad you shared it. I do like using quilt as you go, because I'm not confident enough to do a larger quilt.
Your video make me more confidence when I quilt. It's awesome!
Fabulous! Tag us on Instagram so we can see what you make with it.
Thank you for this great video. This was quite helpful for me!
I learned a lot from you today. Good explanations of how & why to use these templates. Thank you.
Thanks! Hope it helps you finish your quilts on your home machine.
I had just bought these after buying the hard templates that didn’t work for me. The foot kept getting stuck in the corners. These look so much easier and I can’t wait to try them.
Thank you so much! I can't wait to try it! Practice practice!
I love your video, thank you so much. I'm going to try this method and let you know how I did with my quilting.
Very handy knowledge. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this very informative and instructive FMQ tutorial. I’m new using this technique and you’ve answered so many questions that I’ve had. I’m ready to order a pounce and 1 or 2 basic stencils and get to work! I love the manner in which you explain everything. I end your tutorials saying, “I can do that!”
Heartfelt thanks. 🌺
Love, Love, Love!!! I’m new, and feel like a goof because I can’t FMQ... all videos make it look easy...you are correct...it’s NOT! Do you have a video showing swirl stencils, or could you give suggestions on how to do it...I.e. do you go over a swirl twice? Thank you for great teachings...💕 Jen
I guess I should not say swirls, but curly cues... 😃
thank you so much for making this video
Thank you so much! I am a beginner quilter and have only made rag quilts because I've been intimidated by the free motion process. This helps so much and I think I will have confidence to try it with the stencil. You explained everything so well!
You’re welcome! We have all the supplies you need to get started at shop.quiltaddictsanonymous.com
Thank you for the video. I had purchased all these product and did not know how to use it it it’s maximum.
Thanks for your help with this have got them but haven't used as yet
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for this lesson
You’re welcome!
Really helpful - thank you
The mini carts! YESSS! 😂
So you too have tried to direct a toddler pushing a mini cart? 🤣
Quilt Addicts Anonymous Ohhh yes. And our mini carts have a little flag on them, so my Lightning McQueen obsessed 3 yr old thinks they are race carts. 😂😑
One time I thought I must be the worst mom in the world I was so frustrated by the time we got to the checkout, then there was a mom in front of me with two kids, both with their own cart. She has the same look on her face I did and I instantly felt better. It wasn’t me, it was the cart!
Quilt Addicts Anonymous The struggle is real!!!
Super helpful
Great video more of the same pls from uk xx
Thanks! We are planning on doing some more.
Great video!❤️
Thanks!
Thank you for the medium speed tip! I’m just learning & find I speed up way too fast!
I’ve been doing this for years and always slow it down. It is super helpful
Thanks so much for your great tutorial. Just one odd question, I once started to iron a small doll sized quilt and it totally flattened the batting! Do you use special batting please? Thanks so much.
This is good advice. Thank you. 😁 I tried free motion stippling and was terrible at it. Didn't know about stipple stencils. I will try this. Where can I get the stencils?
We have links to all the products we used in the video description. We carry them all at shop.quiltaddictsanonymous.com
Thank you .
You’re welcome!
Hello. Wonderful tutorial!
Q: when you ironed off the chalk, was your iron dry? Or steam? Thank you
Can you get refill chalk and where if you can? I love your work and videos. Thank you.
I am glad you like the video! We have refills on our website: shop.quiltaddictsanonymous.com/?term=&s=pounce&post_type=product&taxonomy=product_cat
Great tutorial, but I want to see how to do a bigger quilt on my home machine. Do you have a tutorial on that. Thanks again.
We have one on quilting a lap sized quilt using your walking foot. czcams.com/video/DS_8CJJ3oxA/video.html
I Have a longarm quilting Machine but I am having trouble with movement on my daily machine my stitching on the bottom I way off. What am I doing wrong?
We like you 👍😍😘🌷💖🌹
Aw, thanks so much!
After you have dropped your feed dogs , is your pressor foot depressed ( down or floating)? Thank you
The presser foot stays in the same position on most machine. You are just making it easier to move the fabric because the feed dogs aren’t pushing it forward.
Do you ever quilt to the edge of the quilt or would you use a separate border stencil or just quilt close enough to the edge that you just add the binding?
Most of the quilting is customized to each block or colorway in the quilt. We do use edge to edge on occasion but not often.
Why cant the other colors of chalk be removed by ironing ?
How hot should the iron be to iron the stencils
Thanks foe the tips, What machine are you using? I'm looking to buy a Baby Lock Jazz.
This was very helpful .. I've been wanting to give this a try and I think you just pushed me over the line!! I do have a question … You have your stencil .. you're connecting them across your quilt top . what happens if you run out of room and your stencil doesn't quite fit? Hope I'm making sense.
For an all-over design like this one you can just Quilt right off the edge of the quilt. No one will ever notice. And once you get the motion down, you can ditch the stencil and make it fit perfectly.
What if you have multiple color pieces for the back? Do you have to change the bobbin thread color, or just pick one color for the back?
That's really a personal choice. You can choose a neutral thread or one that will work with all of them if you want the quilting to blend into the fabric, or if you want it to stick out a bit more you can use a bolder color that still complements the fabric.
Get some of the fabric you regret buying 😂 true 🧐
Unfortunately, your page was down, so I couldn't purchase a stencil kit.
Does it matter which side of quilt you do this? Does one side make more sense than the other? Thanks, this was so very helpful🙋🏻😀
I always work from the quilt top.
Do you use a dry iron to remove the chalk ?
Errrr, for this newbie-est of newbs, what is a long arm....? I think I want to buy it instead of learning this on my standard machine because I'm OCD. XD LOL!
Also, what is the best color to choose when you have a traditional, light/mid/dark tone quilt topper so that the chalk transfers vividly to all colors (without staining)?
A longarm is a machine that is specifically designed just for the quilting stage (creating the textured stitches that hold all three layers together as opposed to piecing tops). The "longarm" refers to the throat space between the need and the end of the machine. Some can be really big. The machines also sit on a quilt frame and you move the machine instead of the quilt. I would suggest finding a longarm rental place near you and taking a class to get to know them more. And I would get blue and pink, depending on the lighting one always shows up better than the other, but it is hard to know which until you are working on it. None of the chalk colors stain, you just have to make sure you get it all off before it ends up in the dryer, because you can heat-set the pigment if there is still some left and you throw it in to dry.
If I stencil on a patterned quilt, I find it hard to see the lines. Any hints?
You have to choose a color that will contrast with the fabric. So if you are using white, blue and green, pick pink chalk.
Would it be good to shake the chalk off a little before ironing?
That's not necessary, but make sure you are only ironing the Ultimate White chalk. If you iron any other color you will heat set the color and it will be there forever.
if you want an easy way to not "waste" your practice pieces, you can set up to do quilt as you go... otherwise? plan on making tote bags out of your practice quilting!
Does anyone know what is the chemistry of this amazing disappearing powder? Is it a dust hazard for asthmatics? Not meaning to be negative, but you’re getting the stuff everywhere!
The chalk is zinc sterate, it is perfectly harmless. It is used in makeup and even used to make the capsules in vitamins. Its widely used in many, many products. When the heat is applied from the iron or in a dryer, the chalk evaporates into the air. My Dad, Raymond Hancy, invented the pounce pad many years ago and my sister, Marilyn Deas, invented the stencils. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm happy to help.
RPHancy she said she is using the one that you don’t iron what is the one that brushes off and washes out made from?
Jeanene W it’s only the coloured ones that will heat set so they need to be brushed off or washed. I’m pretty sure it’s still Zinc sterate but has perhaps mica or oxides added as the colour component.
@@naiils Hi Naiils ~ yes, that's right. The colored pigment is what sets in the fabric. The powder is a form of tailor's chalk which disappears with heat or water, but it's the colored pigment that sets with heat so it must be brushed off or washed out. A simple lint brush works great - use the rough side against the fabric. :-)
