Time after time I return to your hand quilting video as a refresher. Thank you - your videos are clear and easy to follow. Keep making more helpful videos. I am 76 and never too old to learn!

Thanks for the info! I can’t wait to start. I’m turning 50-year-old NFL curtains into a quilt for my husband!

Hello from Ontario, Canada. Doing chores "by hand" is part of my farm life and discovering how to hand quilt has been on my list of Things To Learn for a while. After doing a few searches online for hand quilting, your video "How To Hand Quilt" (Oct 28, 2018) peaked my interest so I grabbed a cup of tea and sat down to watch it. Girl, I am quite happy to have found you. You inspired me to jump into this new adventure giggling with excitement. Thank you so very much, I will definitely be following you on your website as well as on KZread.

It took me a while to figure out what that thing she used to mark her quilt was. It sounded like "hair marker" but it is actually a "hera marker" in case anyone is trying to find one. Loved the video, Suzy. Thanks!

I wondered. Thank you.

Ok, so you are absolutely adorable! I’ve been sewing for 55 years, quilting for 15. I absolutely hate (I know, strong word) hand sewing of any kind, but I love the homeliness of hand quilting. Stitching in the ditch first makes the hand stitching not so overwhelming. You my dear, will have me try it!❤️

I sewed a quilt some years ago and then never actually quilted it because I was so intimidated after watching a couple of videos. I just watched yours and got totally psyched to get started! Thanks for a great lesson!

I have watched numerous videos and your video has been the most helpful. You are very detailed with your instructions, and the camera position was spot on. Your voice and tone are very pleasant to listen to. I especially love that your work space is so immaculate. Please make more videos!

I agree totally! Voice and tone are critical for me... there are a couple of makers whose work I admire, but I cannot stand the pitch of their voice. One of these people is excessively animated, which is a turn off for me personally when trying to work through a video tutorial.

Thankyou so much for this tutorial, after watching you I plucked up the courage to hand quilt a lap blanket I am working on, knots popping at both ends of the thread, it worked!!!! Lap quilt all quilted today now just to bind, that is my job for tomorrow. My beloved sewing machine is 20 yrs old and isn't happy quilting but I now love hand quilting thanks to you. Many thanks from Bonnie Scotland

I've NEVER had a desire to quilt. You just changed my mind! I think I'll start with a pillow front and go from there!

I love that style! Well, who am I kidding. I love all hand quilting styles. I think because I spent my younger years adoring Amish and Appalachian quilts, I tend to strive for those teeny tiny stitches with the thin thread and the short little sharps. I remember one neighbor telling me about a quilt that she made which would’ve been the State Blue ribbon winner one year if she had kept her stitches to over 6 per. inch! Still, one flannel quilt I made using pretty big stitches and embroidery floss, was one of my very favorite finished quilts. I tend to use very large decorative stitches and thread in quilts with interesting fabrics, like flannel, satin, corduroy or velvet, and I tend to use small stitches and normal thin, white, thread with my cotton. Like I said, I think the cotton ones seem to cry out for that Amish and Appalachian tradition to me. Ahhh! I just love it all. ❤😂

Oh dear, this is sooo unique! I am an avid crocheter and NEVER quilted but has been yearning to do so for long. Time issues though. But this video is definitely an encouragement to do hand quilting.

After leaving behind quilting for 11 years I am just getting back into it, Mar. '19. I remodeled a 1,825 sq. ft. home all by myself: EVERYTHING from electrical, plumbing, ceramic, hardwood flooring, exterior siding, etc. Very detailed construction. Project completed Dec. '16. Now it is my time for sewing once again. I have been gathering information of all kinds to see what is new in the world of quilting. I discovered Thimblelady out of Australia and I am completely mesmerized by her products and tutorials. I figured if I could do construction I can change my sewing ways to be more effective with quilting with practice. New found information was provided me by watching this informative video. Pleasant, detailed, and instructive. TYVM

Has anybody shown you the multiple needle trick? If doing a lot of sewing with the same colour thread, you can load the threader with a lot of needles at once, pull the first one away from the others and allow the thread to pull through the rest. Holding the spare needles against the spool, leave enough thread to wrap around them enough to hold them there, after you get the length you need to cut off. Next needles already threaded. Put the used ones in a pincushion as you finish with them. Start again when they are all empty. This saves a lot of time and messing around. For hand patchwork, my best needle size is a ten, I use european 50 rasant thread, it is cotton wrapped polyester. I am educating myself by watching you lovely you-tube quilters, before I try hand quilting. I have plenty of crochet thread for crocheting, should be easy to find what works. I am a jewelly maker too, so I have tools (pliers) I can use to pull a recalcitrant needle through, and save my gouty hands when it gets hard. Thank-you for your tips.

Very cool tip. Thank you.

Just wanted to thank you so much for your clear instructions in hand quilting, burying the knot, holding fabric in my lap to make stitches even, etc. So helpful, and I did it! Finished my granddaughter’s quilt in time for Valentine’s Day, and didn’t cry once. Hope you have your beautiful baby now and are safe and well!

great video ! I'm French and I discovered quilting art yesterday in an American movie and I'm obsessed ! I'm going to start soon, thank you for your video and very useful explanations !

I can't wait to watch this video but wanted to offer up a little tip on knowing where to look. I was HORRRRRRRIBLE at recording for the longest time from my cell phone so I started just adding a little piece of the sticky part of a post it note and popping it right above my camera lens. It worked wonderfully. I can't WAIT to see this video! I used to LOVE watching my mom lap quilt as I was growing up and am just getting started in my machine quilting journey, also! Once I get used to all of the concepts using a machine, I am going to make my first lap sewn quilt. Now back to regularly scheduled programming. HEHE!

Thank you for demystifying the hand quilting needles.

Creating creases for the stitches! Brilliant. I hand quilted a baby blanket and ended up using masking tape for lack of another way to do straight lines...it was a miserable! I’m encouraged!

I exclusively hand piece and quilt. I have taught myself. I also cant use patterns so I just make stuff up lol. I started last October and am currently on my 5th king size. My sweet husband even made me a a frame that sits over my recliner. So I just swing it around while i am watching tv every night. That knot was super handy to learn. I've basicly just been making stuff up as I go all willy Billy. With no prior sewing experience at all.

I enjoyed your tutorial. You covered all the elements of hand quilting to make a novice like me think I could try this one day. Thanks for taking the time to share your talent and knowledge with us. I’ve admired your quilts for along time. Now I know what makes them so different than most.

You are ADORABLE!!! I love using thick thread in multiple colors for quilting on a solid fabric quilt! I think it looks so pretty

Yes the tutorial has been very useful, thank you. I particularly like the idea of using thicker pretty threads and making it more personal like handwriting.

Great tutorial! I learned hand quilting many years ago making a Grandmother's Flower Garden square wallhanging, but we used sewing thread, as you mentioned, so though you can see the texture (which I love!) the actual stitches are lost. I really like your philosophy and approach! Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom!

Finally !!!! Quilting by hand !!! I’m so happy ❤

So glad I found you. Such a great job. I have no problem following your directions. You go girl!

Hello there, I just wanted to thank you for teaching me how to hand quilt. It took a while to get the gist but now I am "away". You are so right, the feel of a hand quilt cant be compared to a machine quilted piece. I totally love to look of the little ripples in the piece, tugging the thread fairly tight on my new wall hanging. Thanks again Suzy and all the best. Cheers from Germany

Thank you so much for this video. I have recently started hand quilting - a baby quilt for my grandchild soon to be born. Your video helped me so much, it’s all I needed. Thank you for inspiring me ❤

Wonderfully clear, informative, and enjoyable. Thank you!

Thank you for your tutorials. They are so simple to follow, and fun to watch. I have been afraid to hand quilt, but feeling more confident now. I also love your combination of hand and machine quilting 😁

I have learned so much from this video! I am not much of a hand sewer but want to quilt my future great grandson's baby quilt! Loved how you didn't finish the binding! Great technique! I think I can Do this! Machine quilt and hand quilting super awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. You, your video and voice are beautiful! Thanks so much!

I will knot my sewing thread like this from now on!? 😱😱 life changing!

I loved your demo. I am a first time subscriber to your channel. I was Blessed with a Quilting frame on a rectangle stand. Some one from my church gave it to me for finishing a quilt his wife made for their Granddaughter. His wife was in the nursing home and wanted to give it to her Granddaughter before she passed. I was able to finish it for her and she gave it to her Granddaughter two weeks before she passed. Her Husband was so pleased with the work I did , he paid me for the work and gave me the quilting frame too. I was so surprised. He said his wife wanted me to have it because I had made it possible for her to give the quilt to her granddaughter while she was still with us. They were a lovely couple and it was my pleasure to do it for them. I didn't even want to get paid, but they insisted. And I was told when some one does something good for you never rob them from the Blessing in doing so. I will never for get her. And I feel Blessed in knowing her.

Your videos and product recommendations have changed my quilting game...giving me confidence where they sorely lacked in the past. Thank you Suzy...you are adorable in addition to knowledgeable.

I found you on the RK calculator app of all places. This the first tutorial I watched and after 6+ years of thinking I would never tackle hand quilting, you’ve converted me.

Just ordered thread, thimble and needles. So excited to give this a try. Thanks for the great video!

This was great! Can't wait to start hand quilting. Thank you.

Thank you sew much. I am familiar with machine sewing but I am trying to get a group of girls together to make a quilt for an auction for a year or more down the road, and you had a lot of really nice easy to follow tips and tricks. :)

Great video ! I used to quilt a lot and i’ve found my love for it again!!

I am working on my first quilt it is a lap quilt. I love the idea of stiching above the ditch then hand quilting. I will be looking at all of your tutorials. You explain things extremely well...awesome teacher. Thank You!!

This was SO helpful! I have started hand quilting my quilt, but this tutorial gave some awesome tips I did not know about!

What a fantastic tutorial! I'm a new quilter, really appreciate the detail you went into here.

Love your tutorial and how an edge of a table top helps (a thin plastic cutting board would help also) , also using a 5 lb weight to help hold the quilt on that table is an idea. Thank you for sharing the knot, started from the needle. Than I have not seen shared before. Please continue sharing your videos!

So glad I found your channel. You're a nice lady, you explain in a natural manner not overly sales-y and relaxing to listen to and you don't do annoying stapstick jokes every other sentence like most utubers.

Omg! So cute. Like Snow White lol. I have never quilted but my mom does great on sewing machine. I hate sewing machine. Can't wait to try hand quilting for my husband and kids. This was sooo helpful. Thank you so much.

I learned the quilters knot in my high school sewing class (I have taken the most random electives throughout my academic career - lookin at you, college golf) but had no idea that there was a name for it!! Loving the video :)

Hannah Boehmer I have always used the quilters knot because that's how my mum taught me, she wasn't a quilter, in fact had never heard of it, she learned it at school in 1918. My sister in law had never seen anyone tie a knot like me but now I can tell her it's a quilter's knot 😀

I love your energy and how you explain this. Thank you so much!

Thank you for making these techniques so accessible & friendly! Excellent, excellent tutorial.

Just watching you quilt is therapeutic, so I can imagine how I'll feel when I get started. Thank you for sharing your methods, products, and everything that you love-- especially that Leather Thimble.

I'm a very begibing quilter, square one. I'm making a simple first baby quilt for my first grandchild. I loved your relaxed style in your video! I'm not a perfectionist, I want this to be fun and your video was fun! Thank you, :) Cindy

Just found this video... Thanks SO much for sharing your techniques for hand sewing. I will be trying them out soon. 👍

That quilt in the background is SO beautiful!

I love your tutorial. I have wanted to try my hand at hand quilting. As you have said it feels more homey more warm thank you for the info

This is great! I love the way you explain and show how to do the actual stitches, knots, etc. Thank you so much! :)

Off topic but her eyes are the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen omg!

Love your style and delivery 😃. I've done some machine quilting and was curious about hand quilting... you've completely converted me!

That was enjoyable. I love your sense of humor. Thank you for that!

I love this video. I have yet to hand quilt but watching this gives me the confidence to try it!

Well, you are a delight! Thank you for being so thorough and really pleasant:-)

Great video, looking forward to trying my hand at hand quilting with your tips on needles, thimbles and thread

You do such an excellent presentation. I can't wait to get stitching!!

Thank you for a comprehensive tutorial.

I found this video because I've never quitted and I don't own a sewing machine. I got it into my head that I would like to take several shirts from a friend, cut them into squares and hand sew a quilt. There was a lot of good information in this video and I'm pretty excited to get starred. Any advice is more than welcome.

Wow this video is amazing. Great job and beautiful work!🙌🏼

What a great video, thank you, I LOVE your beautiful way of talking, warm and clear so I'm hanging on every word.....looking forward to learning along with your guidance xx

You are so delightful!! I've been free motion quiting but I really like this!! Love the scrumptious handmade feel and look!! Thank you soo much for sharing!! Hod bless!!!

What a great tutorial. You have explained everything beautifully.

Great Tutorial. Thank you so so much.

Just found you. I’m just getting ready to try my first hand quilting. I feel like I got enough basics from you to feel confident. Thank you

Thank you, I appreciate the way you teach

I’ve been wanting to learn more about quilting and feel to intimidated to machine quilt. This video has inspired me to hand quilt. Thank you for this video off I go to try it out.

I really like your video. I am in love with your patterns. The long straight lines seem to be stuck in my mind. I will be buying many.

Very helpful! You’re a great teacher. I’m going to try my first ever hand quilting, thanks to you!!🥰

Very nice, thanks! Can't wait to try this!

I've just discovered you through this video. I'm ten minutes in. What a measure you are to listen to 🙏 Your personality is lovely and the information is great!! Xxx

Just found this. I'm a beginner sewer and would like to get into small quilting projects. I love your easy to understand teaching style. I live that you give the rationale for everything. Thank you!

I just found your vid today. Thank you for really being for beginners and so informative. I can’t wait to start my first hand quilt!!!

I am making my first quilt for my daughter. Was really worried about the hand sewing because I have RA. Thank you so much for the rocker demonstration. I needed to know that.

I was just at a quilters shop to drop off my quilt to get machine quilted. It has some appliqué that I have always wanted to do but did not want to machine quilt over it. I was told they would not be able to quilt my quilt 😢. So I left and headed to the internet to see what I could find. And I found you 😊. I will stitch just outside the ditch and the hand stitch the rest. Thank you. I’m so happy i found your tutorial. I know you made this a while ago, congratulations on your baby 🥰

This is so helpful and solved several mysteries that I'm now too embrrassed to disclose. Thank you.

Great video, you are so easy to listen to, and the perfect video for a beginner like me . Thank you ! Wow, your quilts are beautiful, your stitches are sooooooo even and beautiful. I love that you don't say "um" a thousand times. It makes it easy to listen to you .

This is a good demonstration for 'accent quilting' on a project that you already machine quilted. I am a hand quilter - and this is completely different than what most of us do. Have you ever been to a 'quilting' - 4+ quilting ladies around one quilt - and spending hours getting it done?

Thank you so much for your informative video so I’m going to be watching all of them. We need more people who teaches how to hand quilt. I’m watching so much. I feel like I can do the whole quilt by myself even though I’ve got a Sewing Teacher but they don’t want to hang quilt so I have to learn to do this.❤❤

Your presentation is upbeat, youthful and targeted with clear information. I am hooked on Suzy Quilts!

Love your bandanna!

This was so helpful! Thank you!

This video is great! I cannot wait to try this. I have always machine quilted but I want to try this....today! Thank you!!!

Great tutorial! Thank you!

I like your quilts and I enjoyed this video.

Thanks for the great, informative video! Happy toddler years. Happy sewing 🧵!

Enjoyed your tutorial and your personality! Thanks for making my day brighter.😊

I learned to knot like that as a kid. My mother & Grandmothers quilting group used to have my sister & I string short needles onto spools of thread for all the ladies would have them ready.

So helpful!! Thank you! Bought all the supplies. About to try my first hand quilt on a mini wall hanging quilt. It’s so cute and tiny and not worth paying someone to machine quilt. I didn’t like the way it looked with a stitch in the ditch on my machine so I unpicked the whole thing. I love the thick thread you use. So excited to try it. And dude, thanks for teaching us how to “pop the thread”. Woot!!!

Love your tutorial! You explain everything so well & your voice is so pleasant, thank you!

Amazingly detailed, and extremely helpful and educational. So glad I ventured into this particular video. Ty very much 💓. Stay creative 💕

I do the rocking motion , but use the quilting thread. I like the idea of Perle thread . . sometimes I use a hoop. Love your quilt..

This was awesome! Thanks for making this - I wanted to hand quilt and I have learned so much from this video!

Thanks so much! You are so sweet and really explain the ways to quilt. I have done quilting for 2 years but I was not satisfied so I wanted to watch some more videos so it will be easy and consistant for me. I love your style. Now I will just quilt the way you do and see if it works for me. Thanks again! Love form a quilter.

This is a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing! The best! 🙌

I love this. Thank you!

I'm excited to try this. Your video is excellent. It's like a friend teaching you.
