You know, I think my favorite thing about Missouri Star quilt videos is the way they respect different methods and remind us that there is no "right" way. When I first started quilting in the 80s it was full of rules you had to follow. I love the way you remind us that it is OK if you are not perfect. Thank you for that. As a perfectionist, your frequent reminders that it doesn't have to be perfect takes any stress out of quilting and reminds me that it is pure joy. You guys are awesome!
I really enjoy the chance to get to know Natalie more. I like the relaxed attitude about "mistakes" and encouraging away from perfectionism, and also the practical tips and information about how to do things.
Okay, Natalie is a new found gem for me! She has her moms genes! She is calm, relaxed, and real about the journey--it’s not about perfection it’s about accomplishing goals, taking baby steps, getting better in time, and mostly enjoying the process! I teach sewing and quilting in my private studio and I’m always looking for new and different ways to achieve great results! I love this painters tape technique! I tell my students not to worry about small stitch irregularities -concern yourself with the overall beauty with your creation! Hugs to Natalie for clear, honest, and great teaching instruction and advice! I’ll be following her!❤️✂️🧵
Thank you so much for doing these Natalie! I love all of the elaborate quilting designs but I appreciate that you took the time to show us the basics of home machine quilting. I feel like it gets overlooked because it’s not the “cool kid” long-arm quilters are. 😄 My budget doesn’t allow for sending my quilt off or buying special tools and it’s great that you speak to that!
Thanks for your comment. I cannot justify 15k or even 5k for a long arm machine, no matter how many quilts I make. What I do...has to do. And I'm ok with that!
I've tried using my walking foot, FM, and I always end up at my local favorite Current River Fabric Store here in Doniphan, Missouri. They are reasonable in price and of all the many sizes I piece, they do an exceptional job.
Natalie, you know we all love you, don't you? Thank you for your relaxed attitude on these videos. Its nice to know...that you know...that when we get better, we will BE better. But for starting out at something new, its best to get the needle at least started. Thanks again.
I love this Final Stitch I hope Natalie will do one often. On tools needles scissors etc she is so much like her mom all of Missouri star staff is “WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!”
oh yessss! a tools video would be awesome. I know it would have to be in segments. I like when they introduce new tools like the binding tool in their tutorials. I rushed out to buy it when I watched Jenny make the Starstruck quilt and wall hanging.
I have use painters tape, but instead of using a new piece of tape each time you can reuse the same pieces of tape over and over to go the other direction etc.
I used painter's tape for a complicated repeating curved design: first overlapping several pieces to make a big "piece", then drawing the outline of my curved design and cutting it out, then positioning it on the quilt to quilt the outline. (I had some negative space in the center of a quilt that I quilted with a double wedding ring design.)
Loved the look on Natalies face when she said "If they do they don't deserve it." It was so stern, you mean business. Love it! Painters tape, New concept for me for me. Awesome!
She's a very busy lady! I know she has designed at least one of the great templates for MSQC, the tumbler, plus she appeared in a few of the early videos. I love Natalie, it's almost like we've watched her grow up watching these quilting videos. I've definitely seen her grow as a designer as well.
Would be great to see how to choose how to quilt a all over pattern. Also I often hear to use a walking foot. Which for straight line great. But then for free motion you use your darning foot. It is confusing.
Natalie, I just love all your tutorial, I hope you continue this classes. I make sure I attend to these Episode and I tell everyone that I am in class. lol great information Thank you.
For stitch-in-the-ditch, just like for garment sewing, it's better to have thread a bit darker than a bit lighter. Sometimes having the ditch stitching a few shades darker actually helps give a "shadow" effect in the ditch.
Painter's Tape????? Natalie you are a GENIUS!!! I am going to raid my husband's garage for sure! Thank you SEW much for these videos. I LOVE them! You are a joy to watch and learn from.
Hi Natalie, I loved this video and the painter’s tape idea is brilliant. Would you do a video for beginners on quilting with rulers please. I have been watching MSQC since the beginning of your journey and you all just keep keep getting better.
Thank you, I enjoy these Final Stitch episodes. I hope you show how to start and finish on a place other than an edge. Sometimes you don’t win the bobbin chicken game!😂
I made a quilt for my moms bday that was safari animal print 10" hexis. I didn't have time to send it to a quilter so using my featherweight, I ended up making a zebra stripe stitch in each hexi. I was so happy with how it turned out because I didn't need to have dropped feed dogs, lots of experience and the lines didn't have to be perfectly straight. I live that Natalie is giving us so many n options. Quilts that go to a long armed are beautiful but there is also a lot if satisfaction when we can say we did everything on the quilt ourselves. Thank you Natalie! 😊
I did free-motion quilting of all kinds for more than 30 years on several different home machines, usually the cheapest machine I could get on sale from Sears. Drop or cover feed, and set the stitch length to 0, and adjust the foot pressure to just barely skim the top of the quilt. Most of the time I didn't even have a darning or quilting foot. For straight-line quilting, use a walking foot, and just like driving, focus ahead of the needle. Keep it slow and steady; if that is a problem just try hand-quilting for a while, that makes any kind of machine quilting seem quite speedy.
Thank you for sharing your tips. I love the idea of using tape, which I plan to try. Also, I'm glad you showed us that we don't need a large throat machine to make a quilt.
I know this tutorial is a year old, but I'm just catching up........I LOVE THE PAINTERS TAPE IDEA!!!!! I have a problem keeping seams straight as well as cutting straight....makes me give up sewing! This is the most exciting thing I have seen for my situation! Thank you so much for these tutorials.
I also enjoy Liz's input throughout the videos. She points out things Natalie is doing what obviously comes automatically to her due to her experience. I also love the happy fabric being used in this tutorial. I too reuse my tape until the sticky is gone.
Thank you Natalie for doing the final stitch. You are so relaxed. Which makes the viewer relaxed, and you don’t speak fast which is wonderful. I love your videos. I ca go on and on. I just appreciate you. Thank you so very much.
It really is quilter's choice. I swear by my walking foot because it comes with an adjustable guide I can use to stitch lines equidistant by aligning the guide with each previous line. I would never be able to get painter's tape straight! I also agree that the density of quilting goes with the use. Thanks again Natalie, for keeping things simple. So many UFO's will get finished this holiday season.
Does it matter what type of thread you use when quilting like this? Can you do an episode talking about the best kinds of thread? I love watching these. I am learning so much!!!
Regular sewing thread for most quilts. If I want my quilting to be invisible I use invisible thread (mono filament) in the top and regular sewing thread in the bobbin.
It’s best for your project if you match your thread to your fabric, so if you’re piecing or quilting cotton fabrics, use cotton thread. There’s a good reason for this, poly thread is stronger than cotton fabric, so as the predictable stress (wear and tear) on the finished project in use, the fabric will begin to rip around the seams. It’s easier to occasionally mend a seam if the thread gives way than trying to darn the fabric at the seam ! Choose a good quality cotton thread (my personal favourite is Aurifil, it’s so smooth and easy to thread the needle, behaves itself, and there’s masses on each reel so it’s a lot more economical to use than it first appears). Choose a 50cwt cotton thread for piecing quilting weight cottons and a 40cwt cotton thread for machine quilting cotton fabrics. When choosing a quilting cotton thread for machine quilting avoid the wax-coated threads meant for hand-quilting. Hope that helps !
Yet another ingenious use for painters tape. I use painters tape all the time for my crafts and sewing. Thank you for your wonderful videos I really enjoy them.
I love watching MSQC videos. Great job, Natalie! Everyone is always so pleasant. Sometimes it is hard to hear Liz so if there is a way to improve on that it would be nice. Also, just thought I might mention something that helped me prevent the drag caused by the quilt dropping off the back of the machine. Before my son-in-law extended my sewing table with a drop leaf off the back, I had to figure out a way to keep my quilt from dragging when I did free motion quilting. My sewing table was against a wall with cabinets on it. I purchased long bungee cords and attached clamps to one end. I attached the clamps to the quilt and hung the other end of the bungee cords over the cabinet doors. If you don't have cabinets, you could use some kind of a hook on a wall. I used 3 -4 bungee cords. You have to adjust the bungee cord clamps every so often but it works. Thanks again for all you do for us out here with all your videos.
I just LOVE your videos! And I agree that hearing you mention "mistakes" and how its "no big deal" sure makes it more relaxing to look at my projects! ... I am picking up so much information!!
I have made several quilts and table runners, pillows, etc from watching your videos. Missouri Quilt Co. has helped me so much. I've only been quilting for 4 years & I really love it. Thank you so much.
Natalie, the painter's tape idea is brilliant! I used to straight line quilt a quick Christmas lap quilt. Made the process so much easier and the finished product was pretty close to perfect. Thanks again for the tip. I look forward to 'The Final Stitch' episodes and your insightful tips and tricks. Keep up the great work!
Wonderful tutorial. Great idea, using the painter's tape. By the way, I LOVE the crossstitch designs on your peg wall behind you! Thanks Natalie and MSQC for taking the time, energy and money to provide us with these tutorials.
Natalie, I truly appreciate the tutorials/Q&A sessions you do. They have been immensely helpful and have upped my quilting "end game." Until now, I was so intimidated by things like the actual quilting piece, as well as binding. Your simple techniques and healthy attitude toward making mistakes are both informational and comforting. Thank you SO MUCH for this series on the very subjects that subconsciously cripple us, and remind us of the joy (and zen) we can find in completing the finishing touches!
Natalie and Liz, you make a great team. Love that we can hear Liz clearly. I really appreciate your last stitch tutorial,hints and tips. Please keep them coming xxx
Thanks Natalie. Such great ideas, especially using painters tape. Really struggle with straight lines! I’ve a tendency to go too fast too☺️Thanks for all your tips...what a great teacher you are. Xx🇦🇺
I love your teaching style. Clear, concise, tips. You make good use of the teaching time frame because we all have so little. Also, your work area is always uncluttered with nothing to distract from topic at hand.
Can we please have basting a really big quilt? It's easier when the quilts are tiny or small, but I struggle with mine as they are queen size. And I too love Natalie, she has Jenny's laugh too
Natalie - it’s a year later - just found your youTubes and I love all of the different videos. Thank you for this video and all those from you, your mom, and sister-in-law. I’ve learned so much and have so much more to learn. ❤️
very detailed video on this and all your episodes. i appreciate the topics and effort you put into each episode.I appreciate your expertise ... And I also agree that some people are not quilt worthy... lol
Wow ! Natalie this is fantastic, I’m still a little leery of free motion quilting. This is a great way to quilt your work and get joy of learning control of your stitches, I appreciate you! 😊
I would love to see/get advice on how to determine the quilting pattern that looks best for certain blocks...or how do you decide which quilting pattern to use?
Draw the block or even the whole quilt pattern on paper, then slip the paper into a plastic sheet protector. You can use dry-erase markers to experiment with a lot of ideas.
I recommend a walking foot for domestic machine straight-line quilting. And grippy gloves (you can find fabric/woven gloves with rubber dots at the Dollar store!). I hope you show us that "something interesting" you were planning to do in the border on your next episode of 'The Final Stitch'.
Oh, I love the tip about using painter's tape! I've got a throw size quilt ready to be quilted. You've given me encouragement to try this! Natalie you're a gem! Thank you for this!!!❣
I think using a Stitch in the Ditch foot makes that type of quilting so much easier and fun. I also love using the painters tape. I did an entire baby quilt using the tape to do cross hatch quilting. Loved it and it turned out awesome! Thank you for doing these special one on one type class. Love it. I just wish they were a little longer and more in-depth. For those of us that can’t get out to take classes this is a great alternative.
Thanks so much Natalie! Your positive upbeat attitude towards things that usually make me stress makes me a little more apt to give it a try. Thanks for the encouragement

I have never thought of using tape, what a great idea! Thank you💕
I love Natalie! The whole family is amazing, and I so appreciate all the free videos they put out to educate and encourage the quilting community!
Pretty cool Natalie, a lot of people have not realized that painters' tape is a helpful tool, even on your machine itself..Good Job Natalie
Really good idea using the painters tape to help fill the gap of a larger unpierced square. Thank you, I really like the idea!!! keep quilting!
For stitch-in-the-ditch, just like for garment sewing, it's better to have thread a bit darker than a bit lighter. Sometimes having the ditch stitching a few shades darker actually helps give a "shadow" effect in the ditch.
Natalie I so enjoy your tutorials. You are awesome at this you are so calm and natural. Please do more.
This is an excellent way of straight line quilting and I love seeing how Natalie uses painter's tape, to help keep her stitch line straight. So cool.

I would love to see you back a quilt with Cuddle fabric by Shannon.
Natalie, I love these videos! Every one I watch boosts my confidence. I might be almost ready to maybe try quilting something myself. Possibly.
I made a quilt for my moms bday that was safari animal print 10" hexis. I didn't have time to send it to a quilter so using my featherweight, I ended up making a zebra stripe stitch in each hexi. I was so happy with how it turned out because I didn't need to have dropped feed dogs, lots of experience and the lines didn't have to be perfectly straight.

Great use of the painter’s blue tape to help in stitching. Thanks Natalie! ❤
I have been told if I can't see the mistake when galloping past on a horse, there is no need to redo it.
wonderful! ha ha ha ha
That's awesome....I love it!
Hahahahaha! I need to remember that one!
I could see it if I don’t do it to then, I will take it apart to make it right. Cool if you can keep going.
I did free-motion quilting of all kinds for more than 30 years on several different home machines, usually the cheapest machine I could get on sale from Sears.

What stitch length
@@deidrapowell8762 I use 12 stitches per inch (regular stitch length).
So glad I watch this video. Never would have thought about using painters tape to mark quilt
Thank you Natalie 😊 I liked learning about how to use the painter's tape to lay out a straight line grid to guide my quilting. ❤
Natalie you are brilliant and you also look so darn Happy doing these videos. I hope you keep them comming.

Thank you Natalie! Just what I needed for a couple of baby quilts! You are a good teacher!
Painter's tape! Such a great idea
Refreshing to see actual quilting videos from Natalie & MSQC, though I do love the piecing videos as well.
Thank you Natalie. I’m new to quilting and just fixing to try to use the painter’s tape to quilt on my home machine. You’re a good teacher.🌹

It really is quilter's choice. I swear by my walking foot because it comes with an adjustable guide I can use to stitch lines equidistant by aligning the guide with each previous line. I would never be able to get painter's tape straight! I also agree that the density of quilting goes with the use. Thanks again Natalie, for keeping things simple. So many UFO's will get finished this holiday season.

I think using a Stitch in the Ditch foot makes that type of quilting so much easier and fun. I also love using the painters tape. I did an entire baby quilt using the tape to do cross hatch quilting. Loved it and it turned out awesome!
Thank you for doing these special one on one type class. Love it. I just wish they were a little longer and more in-depth. For those of us that can’t get out to take classes this is a great alternative.
Greatly enjoying your videos, Natalie! Thank you!
Thanks so much Natalie! Your positive upbeat attitude towards things that usually make me stress makes me a little more apt to give it a try. Thanks for the encouragement
I LOVE that I stumbled upon these videos! I'm a "newbie" quilter and these videos are so incredibly helpful to me!
Thank you Natalie, love your creativity, and honesty!
