What a Superb way to increase quilting muscle memory without wasting fabric, thread, or time. How appealing that a “practice” session culminates in a lovely useable item. Thank you, Laura! 👏🥰
What a great idea for small projects and learning how to quilt. I can only imagine how time consuming it would be for a bigger project having to tear away that paper. Thank you!
So basically these are pantographs for a DSM. There is no way I am picking out the papers that for some reason always get caught in the stitches. But for those who don't mind I think it is great. I'd seen them on Urban Elementz but never saw them in action so thank you Laura.
Yes, a good idea for small projects like place mats. And if I ever purchased a Bernina machine with a stitch regulator, I might try this. My biggest pet peeve about free motion quilting is stitch length inconsistency. I notice the company that produces these also sells embroidery machine formats, so thanks for that link. I've been looking for good, single run, continuous designs.
I think it would an unbeatable product if the paper was a 'wash-away' paper instead of tearing all those little pieces off....especially if you use one as an allover pattern on a quilt.
I think I would rather stick to my stencils and quilt pounce. Much quicker and less mess to clean up with all those tiny torn paper bits. Plus not so time consuming as to tear off all that paper and the tiny bits of paper that gets left behind. Plus less paper saves more trees 😊
I enjoyed this video so much. Your pleasant voice was extremely helpful with very good easy to follow instructions. I will definitely watch your video again as soon as I purchase the patterns from Urban Elementz 😘😘😘

Thank you very much for following me and taking the time to watch. I do try to cover projects and products, tips, free patterns, and fun stuff. I try to keep Tuesday to a shorter video and the Thursday is a longer video. I do love notions and like to be able to share how they are used and the different ways that I have found to use them. Out of respect I always ask the companies first before I do a video and sometimes they will send me samples to try out. I will only do a video if I like the product and if it would be of interest and help the viewers. I am glad you have brought this up as it is good to know that you enjoy more projects than products Thank you again for taking the time to comment and thank you for the wonderful compliment.:) yours truly Laura
NO NO NO! This would be terrible. 1. Cost, totally not cost effective 2. Time to glue and cut and draw on paper 3. Pulling the paper off of all of that would be a NIGHTMARE! No Thank you.
Actually, it’s much easier to tear away the paper than you may think. Plus, for people who want to try FMQ but are afraid to, this is the perfect baby step to take! It gives you the hang of the idea and how it goes. When I first started, I used Golden Threads paper to trace out designs similar to this idea and quilt my borders and blocks, etc. It really gave me the confidence to move forward and today I’m a pretty good FMQ if I do say do myself.
The problem is not how easy it is to tear away... that is always easy. The problem is putting it together on a big quilt, matching all the pieces... plus the cost of it
Livinnpjs I thought the same thing. I was looking at one that was almost $2/sheet. Some are more. For a queen quilt, it’s just not affordable. I liked the idea, though, and might try it on my own for cheaper. I don’t use the pounce, I never figured it out, so this might be faster than a washout pen.
I disagree. I‘m just about to make my first handbag. I purchased some pretty expensive fabric, and the outside of the bag needs to be quilted. I‘m an absolute FMQ beginner. The curves I try to quilt do get ugly pointy edges, because I haven’t the hang of it yet, then I’m getting nervous about where to head next, and oops, another of these hooks where a curved line should have been. Instead of wasting yards and yards of fabric to practice my quilting on, instead of ruining that nice fabric I bought to make the handbag out of, the „waste“ of some sheets of paper seems the more tolerable waste to me. I‘m sure this wasn’t designed to be used throughout your entire quilting career, and depending on the size of the quilt, it might be even less expensive to send it to a longarmer, than having to purchase and add a bazillion of these pattern sheets. But it seems a pretty good idea to me for smaller up to medium sized projects. I haven’t looked up the shipping costs to Europe yet, but many times the shipping costs are ten times the price of the item. So this has inspired me to try to copy my intended quilting pattern to the paper you buy to use in the oven (we call it baking paper, I don’t know if this is the correct term...) It’s semi transparent, so printing out a sheet with the pattern and copying it to the baking paper with a permanent marker shouldn’t be a great deal. Thanks Laura, for the inspiration ❤️
Hello thank for all your video's I love all of then. I tried this. the tear away paper is more than time it is horrible. the paper is not good for your washer. unless it dissolve, you have to pick it out. even if you use a long stitch. the larger the project the bigger the problem
Yes, stitch a bit shorter and don’t cut corners by thinking you can just throw the quilt in the washing machine to get the little bits of paper out. You really need to get them out BEFORE washing it 😉 I use my bent tweezers to gently rub them out but the stiletto tool she has with the rubber tip works just as well!
I could never stand doing this. Trying to get all that paper off at the end would drive me absolutely insane! Thank you for sharing though. I had looked a that in the Spotlight here and wondered about it but never bought it. You've confirmed for me that it's not for me. The only question I wondered was......do you think you could throw this in the wash and have the paper come off that way?? Hmmmm actually, I think i'm answering that as I write. What about the binding. You'de have to bind it first...etc.. Oh my goodness. I think this is just way to much hassle, too much mess and bother for me. I'd rather do anything but lol
Hi Laura, do you think this would work for hand quilting? I have used the "golden paper" in the past, but it would be so much easier to use a printed pattern like these. I'm just afraid of tearing off the paper with hand quilted stitches.
Sally - I’ve heard of ppl doing this but have never tried it. Pls tell me, how hard is it to get the press n seal out of the stitching area? My thought is that it’d be really hard because of the stickiness....but maybe I’m wrong? Or perhaps there’s a technique you use to get rid of it all...?
Omg!! I needed this and will refer back to it fir my quilting project at hand!.. I would like to ask you ..do u do hand quilting.. I love to hand bind so I would love to hand quilt.. I find hand stitching so relaxing.. after long hours of nursing.. my humble regards and appreciation
Laura, why do you drop the feed dogs when you uses this amazing paper? I am new to quilting and I see some tutorials where they stitch in the ditch or do a simple pattern with placing masking tape as a spacer but I don’t remember they dropped the feed dogs.
when you are doing a free motion design the feed dogs general need to be down. This gives you the freedom to move the quilt freely. When you are using a walking foot the feed dogs need to be up to help the machine guide the fabric. hope this helps
My husband removes the paper when I paper piece. That way he feels that he helped make the quilt. 😉

Another great tutorial. I hate marking, so I really must give it a try. Thanks Laura!
Oh my goodness you always bring us the coolest thing I am a beginner free motion quilting and this is perfect for me
Yes, a good idea for small projects like place mats. And if I ever purchased a Bernina machine with a stitch regulator, I might try this.

I absolutely love your videos. I can’t believe how many things I have learned from you thank you
I am glad you are enjoying the videos:)
Thanks for getting back to me regarding pin cushions.
I have learned so much from you! Thank you.
Fabulous...and perfect for beginners doing free motion quilting for the first time 👍
I love the colors in log cabin behind you
I think it would an unbeatable product if the paper was a 'wash-away' paper instead of tearing all those little pieces off....especially if you use one as an allover pattern on a quilt.
Great minds think alike 😉
That was my first thought
Maybe tear away the bigger pieces and then less to wash out
I think I would rather stick to my stencils and quilt pounce. Much quicker and less mess to clean up with all those tiny torn paper bits. Plus not so time consuming as to tear off all that paper and the tiny bits of paper that gets left behind. Plus less paper saves more trees 😊
i like the idea but i think it should be watersoluble paper don't you think ??? Thanks for sharing.
irmtraut pfabe
I find it much easier with pattern rulers
So…help me with the math, please: how many packs for a queen size quilt? It seems a lot and expensive, right?
Just ordered a pack! Thanks for teaching me another thing!
Thank for some great info. You are always helpful to me and I am abler to step out of my comfort zone .
WOW!!! What a great idea....Thank you for sharing.
I enjoyed this video so much. Your pleasant voice was extremely helpful with very good easy to follow instructions. I will definitely watch your video again as soon as I purchase the patterns from Urban Elementz 😘😘😘
I want to try this, thank you for sharing another awesome idea.

Exactly! What a nightmare to set, make sure all is in place...
Easier with a pattern ruler.

At 2:22 you need to type over the word "basted", you said "quilted", but we know you meant. 💜🌞🌵
Thank you
It migh more cost affective to buy stitch n tear for garment sewing. Haven't priced it. But would love doing this.
Hello thank for all your video's I love all of then. I tried this. the tear away paper is more than time it is horrible. the paper is not good for your washer. unless it dissolve, you have to pick it out. even if you use a long stitch. the larger the project the bigger the problem
Perhaps shorter stitches would perforated the paper and make it easier to tear.
Yes, stitch a bit shorter and don’t cut corners by thinking you can just throw the quilt in the washing machine to get the little bits of paper out. You really need to get them out BEFORE washing it 😉 I use my bent tweezers to gently rub them out but the stiletto tool she has with the rubber tip works just as well!
You defiantly need to remove most of the paper before washing. Only the little flakes should be left on the quilt before washing.
I would hate ripping that paper out
Wow! Love this idea, I don’t suppose I’ll get it in the UK yet though! 😀
Just found it on amazon Peg
Iris Glasspoole link please it’s on.com amazon but couldn’t find it in the uk?
Definitely just bought it of Amazon.co.uk Peg. I just put in tear away quilting paper. It is coming from the USA though.
Iris Glasspoole thanks I’ll check it out
great idea.

Excellent
would it work to draw my own design on tracing paper? I would love to try this with my own design.
I have done my own using Golden Thread paper, but tracing paper will also work.
I have used greaseproof paper in the past
Vicky Lynne - Golden Threads paper us actually meant for this very purpose and works great! It comes on rolls in 3 widths: 12”, 18” and 24”
I use Glad press n seal. Tears away easily and sticks to your fabric
Sally - I’ve heard of ppl doing this but have never tried it. Pls tell me, how hard is it to get the press n seal out of the stitching area? My thought is that it’d be really hard because of the stickiness....but maybe I’m wrong? Or perhaps there’s a technique you use to get rid of it all...?

Love it
You could use these for hand quilting as well? Is there any other way to adhere them besides spray adhesive?
Hello thank you
Laura, why do you drop the feed dogs when you uses this amazing paper? I am new to quilting and I see some tutorials where

Very interesting.
I don't love anyone enough to pick off all that paper. There has to be a better way. Could you wet it?
Can those papers be used on a quilt on a longarm
What kind of machine are you using? I love all the tips and tricks on your channel. Thanks for all your hard work.
I sew on a Bernina 790 :)
@@SewVeryEasy Thanks for your reply. I'm looking at Berninas right now. Is there any reason you wouldn't choose it again after using it for awhile?
@@mauimorgan9757 I still love it:) today I sewed through suede, and she never let me down
Great new tip. I haven’t tried free motion quilting. What presser foot is used?
Hi Barbara. You will need a darning foot for FMQ..Amazon has them just get the one that goes with your particular sewing machine. Good luck 😊
Thank you for sharing this information!
What was the name of the rubber tip Clover stiletto?
Clover 7807 Hold It Precision Stiletto amzn.to/2YhHqa7
Added cost is too much. Tearing paper too time consuming
Can these be used in a long arm?
yes
Does 505 wash off?
yes it does, but always check your label to make sure
Hello!
Great idea!
Where can I get it?
Urban elementz
Also amazon
What happened to closed caption for deaf
please check your settings on youtube. I do not have CC but CZcams has it built in but you need to click the button :)
cc works for me..
Sounds expensive to me
That is a nightmare! It looked nice in the beginning, BUT!
😀😀
Is working now that is strange lol
Thats so time consuming ripping paper off
Nope! Gonna stick with my computer embroidery, and watch it all stich out. Lol This looks like too much work.
I don’t like this idea. Too fiddley.
