Haha you cracked me up when you put the cling film on your top and said, like natural.....yup..natural looking..lol

Sorry you had to go through all that. But you are a trouper. I love how you fixed it and are sharing it with us!!

Call it "Rose Bud" very pretty.

Excellent tips! I learned a new use for press-n-seal. Thank you for sharing.

You are soooo talented at FMQ Miss Tracy! Just gorgeous. Love those roses. 🥰 You come up with the best tips and tricks. What a task having to redo the backing. I’m hoping you round the corners…I’ve never seen that done before. Such a sweet and happy quilt. Just makes me smile looking at it. Oh I almost forgot. I went to Joanne’s last night and found the double gauze backing you were talking about. It’s so so soft. Can’t wait to put it on my next quilt. 🥰

Are use press and seal for everything from woodworking to painting, and now quilting!❤ thank you so much for the tip!

Yes! Rounded corners!

I so appreciate your wonderful ideas and hacks. I especially love the ideas on FMQ. I, too, would rather quilt my own quilts. Thank you!! 😊

Press ‘N Seal to the rescue! 🎉 SO many great tips in one video. Thanks so much!

Patsy Thompsan studios sells posts that clamp to your table to hold the quilt if you don't have a wall to hang it from. Also spray some furniture polish on your table. These work great for me.

I love the roses you quilted, Tracy. I’d love to se an up-close video on that. Flannel is a love-hate fabric for me!

I love those roses 🌹! I wd love to see a drawing of it bc I’d love to learn how to do it. Maybe when you get a chance, you cd demo it for us in a strongly contrasting thread color on a sample swatch? Pretty please? And thank you! 🌷

Tracy, the clips are a great idea put side to side so that they hold your quilt in a floating position. Now let me say that the Press & Seal is genius!!! Oh my word, how did you come up with that idea to even try? That is amazing, I would have never thought of it. But you know I am going to do it now, it makes total sense. I truly thank you and think the world of you. Plus I thank our Lord for bringing you in my life! Ly from Oklahoma

That press n seal is awesome stuff❣️

Awesome catch, I like to use batting with my Minky but I know not everyone does. Enjoy your beautiful quilt.

I have enjoyed the whole process of this quilt. Your free motion quilting is amazing. Those roses look so even . You certainly are one amazing quilter. Xx

Thank you! Oh my goodness I have had a Juki for years and years, quilted many quilts and never thought to turn it sideways!!! I don't know how that escaped me, but it will make life so much easier!!! Juki is a workhorse that's well worth the money that's for sure!

It looks amazing Tracy!!

Your quilt looks so pretty. As always I enjoyed your video. Take care Suzanne

Coming out great! Press n’ Seal …the things we do for quilting! What is even funnier it works and it never even crossed my mind to use this…

I feel so bad that you had to take it all apart, but that flannel does shrink. I would have never thought about that though. You are a genius. I love the press and seal on your clothes!!!!!!! That quilt is absolutely stunning! I love it. Can't wait for the next video!

Glad it all worked out

This is a beautiful quilt! You've done yourself proud, Tracey. Thank you for sharing your way of holding the quilt weight, will definitely have to remember it! Rose design is amazing!

May I suggest "Constipation." The quilt that I won two blue ribbons for took so long to make that I named it the "Constipation Quilt" long before it was finished. I had to pick it apart so many times. I was determined to finish it and be done with it. The hell with following the instructions and making it look like everyone else's quilt in that class. After I finished that quilt, I put it in the quilt show out of spite. I never expected it to win a blue ribbon (two years in a row). It took a long time to get the job done on my little Patchwork Edition Bernina. I never did get the quilting finished the way I wanted it. Done is Good.

What a great idea to turn the machine. Also, press and seal is genius. I am still learning FMQ, these tips will help me so much. Love your videos.

Too funny - I had just put my flannel backing in the dryer to pre-shrink and then sat down to watch your video. Phew! Love all your ideas-thank you!

Great tips sis!!❤

Thank you for sharing this important pearl of wisdom. Beautiful work

You do such an excellent job at FMQ on a domestic machine. Even though it’s a great juki that is heavy duty.

What a great, informative video. I love the Press and Seal tips, especially on your front. And the system to hang some of the quilt to lessen the drag when free motion quilting. Can't wait for the next video.

We all forget to do things sewing things sometimes. I couldn't tell you how many times I'd change my thread and start sewing only to realize I'd forgotten to thread the needle. lol Yet you trooped on and made a scrumpcious looking quilt. Your FMQ roses add the perfect touch too. (How on Earth do you know where you should sew next when doing FMQ roses...???) Just so's ya know, when you put on the Press 'n Seal, I got the giggles. It's just that I've never seen anyone "wearing" that particular product before. It's a great idea and great for a laugh too - nothing wrong with a triple duty product. I use Press 'n Seal strips to wrap around cords as well as on batting/fabric still on their rolls. It's works great for keeping things in place.

This quilt is looking great!!! Your quilting is so pretty!!!!

Thanks for a great video and your tips!

Beautiful! Great use of the Press and Seal!

Love your quilt 😊💖

Tracy! Wow is THIS SO HELPFUL!!!! My one issue is that I can't stand when my stitches are different sizes. Have you ever had that problem?

Great FMQ'ing tips!!! Your skill at doing so is amazing! love your roses and leaves. Just beautiful! Another great video, Tracy! 🥰

Wow! I knew this quilt was going to be pretty, but I wasn't prepared for how much your FMQ added to it! Your roses and overall quilting skills are pretty perfect! Thank you for the video. I always learn so much. Trying my hand at it this week! Starting slowly though.:) Thanks again!!💗

Beautiful love the roses. I just completed my very first quilt I did stitch in the ditch and hearts on the border did I mention I did the quilting on the floor with my janome lol definitely will try the hanging method for my next one lol I’m too old to be on the floor sewing lol

SO BEAUTIFUL i am so scared to motion quilt i have many quilts that need to be quilted🥰

I use the Teflon mats you put in your oven to bake cookies or you can put on the bottom to clean. This would honestly eliminate any need for stretch and seal. Buy the biggest and you can tape several together. I also cut one so I put it under my needle so everything glides. Very very reasonably priced on Amazon.

I have those Teflon mats however that is not going to prevent the immense shredding of the fabric so there’s more than that reason to use the press and seal

Wow, your free motion quilting skills are incredible! Love all the hacks you've invented when quilting with a domestic, I also quilt all my huge quilts on my little sewing machine, I only have space for a tiny desk to work on, very hard work and as I can't seem to master the free motion, I always do a grid with my walking foot, and /or hand quilt them. I would love to be able to do free motion quilting well, my issue is when I do a curve, I get the eyelash effect on the back, no matter how much I slow down! And when I was practising last time on a small piece, when I finished and was trying to put feed dogs up again, the switch was stuck or something, it took me ages, and after a clank sound the feed dogs were up again and I got so worried that I'm not trying this again! I think someone is trying to tell me something!!! (Stick to the straight lines 😉)

Have you auditioned a grey for thr binding? Well, it looks like one of the fabrics is a grey. That is what I would try.

Wow 😲, sorry that happened to you. I've come to the conclusion over the years that prewashing is worth the effort. Flannels are the worst for shrinking and Batiks need washing because if you use iron on fusible plus they bleed. Quilting cotton bleeds as well. Just listened to the sad story, my red blend into the white at the quilt shop. What can I do? So anyway I wash it all. Except precuts, I don't use them often.

Will one of those Super Sliders not work ? I think the Super Sliders were developed to help quilts slide when doing FMQ. It sd fit over the Juki extension table.

Your quilt looks amazing! You do an extraordinary job at free motion quilting. But it seems like it’s going to take forever to pick out all the press and seal pieces from the minky. Or am I misunderstanding the process?

I pre wash all my fabric. I don't care what anyone says. I mess up enough on my own, I don't need any help lol

Hello, this is just a thought, but do you think vinyl tablecloths would work? I'm thinking clearance after the major holidays. They are big enough that you could customize them to fit your workspace top and make an apron. I love your hooks using command clips for the wall.

I just finished polishing my Singer hand-crank this morning. The thought occurred to me that not only could you sew custom covers, but why not add a layer of wax to the covers? There is no damage to fabric going over a waxed machine bed, so mayhap it will work on the covers?

I appreciate your honesty. What Juki machine do you have?

@@TheSewingChannel Tracy, you need to go to sleep lol. I did find the table on Juki junkies website, and I included it as a link for others.

I think the worry that the good luck comment caused was unfair to you, because there is something that was not taken into account when she made that alarming comment. When you quilt, you are sewing fabric, to other fabric and other materials like batting. This by it's very nature stabilizes all the fabrics and causes an equalization of ALL the fabrics. Washing a fabric, say a flannel as a whole cloth will cause far more shrinkage than washing flannel that has been sewn to fabric(s) that naturally shrink less. Lets say that a quilting cotton will shrink 2%, and a flannel will shrink 3%... by sewing those together in a "dense" pattern of roses, the flannel will be unable to shrink the full 3 %. You will likely get the 2%, or perhaps a mid range of 2.5% vs the 3 it would shrink when it's by it's self as a whole cloth. Think of it this way. Cotton has a tensile strength, and cotton is cotton. The quilted weave is not LESS strong than cotton flannel weave or vise versa. The reason flannel shrinks more is that it's a looser weave and therefore draws in more. By combining it with the tighter weave of the quilting cotton, (which shrinks less) then it reduces the shrink/draw on the flannel. SECONDLY, you starch. Which preshrinks the fabric already. IF you starched the quilting cotton, it would not shrink or shrink less than the 2%, same for the flannel if you starched it. MOST shrink in a washed quilt is from the BATTING, not the fabrics, and shrink increased by the heat of the dryer. I think that your quilt would have turned out just fine without the panic rework based on her comment.
