“A stitch in time saves nine” means don’t procrastinate. If you mend a tear when it is small and only needs one stitch to repair it, it will prevent you from needing to repair a bigger tear later as it grows to need nine stitches instead of just one.

Great job ladies! I’m going to try these new things I’ve learned. A curtain rode helps with the sagging as well on the ends, across the bars under the clamps.

A stitch in time saves nine means if you take care of a problem early is doesn't become a bigger problem.

Thanks for this watch & learn. Also for explaining why you do certain things. I'm just learning the prostitcher so was glad to see how to do some custom stitching in the different areas. It looks so simple when you do it .... I just need to let go of my fear and practice and play with design.

A stitch in time saves nine is an extremely old adage (much older than Benjamin Franklin - thank you google - who probably heard the saying from his mother for example). It was used to remind a stitcher that one stitch made correctly saved 9 stitches. In other words, sew at a reasonable pace and focus on stitching or spend a lot of time unpicking and remaking your stitches…or repairing garments that have seams that unravel (interestingly it takes approx. 9 stitches to repair a gap in a seam caused by one loose stitch).

The quote was popularized by Ben Franklin….meaning take the time to repair a small tear . Otherwise the fabric will unravel and require many more stitches.

Thank you so much for this video! I will definitely use mark in the future. The stitching of the words was very informative too. I did not catch where you changed the stitches per inch. What is the difference between changing the stitches per inch that way versus changing it on the Handiquilter box in the upper left corner?

Changing the spi, can be done in different places depending on your machine. Just use what is available on your machine.

Great demo! I never thought to turnthe quilt to quit the borders! Also, I like the tip of using the extra batting to stabilize! I am wondering can I put a Pro stitcher on my Janome QuiltMaker Pro 20? Thank you!

@@HandiQuilter ,oh my,I am so sorry. Darn auto word ! I meant Prostitcher.

So about the Flying Geese block: I don’t know what the history of that block is, and I hope someone out there has actual info on this. My best guess is that each block represents a wedge or chevron or triangle of geese as they migrate. You seen that, right? Or at least a photo or video of the formation. My thinking is that a single block is a “flight” of geese - one of those wedges of many geese, and there isn’t a single goose. Regardless of the terms, nice technique!

When rotating the quilt on the frame leaders, You really didn't explain how you aligned the quilt sandwich on the bottom rail so that it wasn't skewed. Looks like you aligned it to the edge of the left side of the leader?

It was pinned back on the same way it was originally. Find the center of the quilt and line it up with the center of the leader.

Isn’t that saying attributed to Ben Franklin?

You ladies are totally amazing I learn something new each time I see you use the long arm ❣️🪡🧵✂️💖💗💕❤️💓 keep up the good work🥰

I have a question and I know that you basted the quilt to the leaders. But why did you just switch the leaders? Am I missing something?

@HandiQuilter

The quilt was originally basted just to make it easier for us when we have to take the quilt off between filming sessions. During the video, we removed the basting so that the quilt could be rotated 90 degrees and then put on the leaders going the new directions.
