Thank you!
This is for me! Thx guys!
Twelve years ago, my 8 year old granddaughter tried this technique out on her quilt and I really loved it. I love a mind that knows no boundaries. I also love being reminded of her quilting at 8 years old....Poppa built her a bench that ran the length of our 10 ft. frame for our HQ 16 so she could walk back and forth without having to move a stool. She could thread the whole machine including the bobbin and she had some fun times quilting.
oh yes, the freedom is exhilarating . Chuck that rule book out of the window. Especially in these crazy days, that is so vital to emotional well being. This is something we can control and easily!
love, love, love this video
I finally did this today. So much fun.
OMG...the one behind them makes me think of a library. It's absolutely gorgeous 😍
Please, please, please do a video on the cathedral window/grandma scraps scrappy quilt method. Did I say "please". Now I'm on my knees begging you!

kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKKk1s2Hkru2lrQ.html We did this one back in November.
Christina you have inspired me! Love this! I'm going for it 🥰
this was a totally fun quilt... love to watch it come together... and thinking outside the box is so creative... your only limitation would be the amount of your stash... LOL no limits!
Loved this!!! I have blue jean scraps that are all odd sizes. They have been in a bag for 4 years. Now I know how to use them!!! I’m so excited to try this technique. I hope you’ll do more and show the cathedral windows and petal shapes.
This is a great idea! I will use up my "I just can't part with scraps" AND my "this yarn is too pretty even tho it's too short to make anythings" and then PRACTICE my rulerwork and free motion! Thanks, fabulous
Love this! I know I will try it.n I have some chenille it on order.
Thanks ladies for this technique, I have lots of scraps, this is just another quick way to use them, no waste, fuss or bother. These are great utility quilts to use anywhere.
I definitely want to learn how to do the cathedral window and the other scrappy quilt that you made on your frame. Please come back and show us how to do that!

Thanks for sharing this quilting technique on the longarm. Great idea!

This is such a fantastic idea. I have so many scraps of both fabric and batting. I can’t wait to try this out on my little foot system. Thank you so much for the ideas❤️
I love it!
I love this!!!! I can hardly wait to try it.
I did this after watching the video! Fun and wild!
Inspiring. Thank you for thinking out of the box. My old next door neighbor used to lovingly piece, by hand scrap quilts and she would have just loved this idea. I can’t wait to try it.🙂
Amazing video. Thank you. I just am not a ruler, precision kinda of a girl.
I think this is something I will enjoy doing as I love making quilts more than using my longarm. Here we do both. Incredible.
Fabulous video, Ladies. What great ideas!
Wow! So much fun! I can’t wait to try this technique out!

Interesting concept.....would definitely like to see exactly how that works and what type of designs can be done. The preview picture looks like a crazy quilt. Hopefully there are some different types of patterns that can be done!
Thanks for sharing! Looks like a lot of fun and I'm eager to try it.
This looks like a lot of fun. Which works better: Precision or Cruise? I am not really a manual type of girl!

I usually use Cruise.
Great video and great way to use left overs from previous sewing project to make other beautiful and useful pieces. It would be nice to have more videos on what we can do with long arms in terms of embellishments and designs

Hi Christina! I love this idea. It’s like doing a rag quilt on the long arm. I have been piecing T-shirt quilts but have never done it on the long arm. I would really love it if you dedicated a tutorial on how to complete one on the long arm. Also a video clip on adding the chenille would be helpful

Be sure to post some pics on social media, and tag @handiquilter when you do. We'd love to see it.
The scrappy quilt at 3:54/50:23 is made with Joseph's Coat blocks. EZ Quilting brand made a 3-pc template set but I can't seem to find it in the U.S. but have seen some in UK online. I saw a free pattern on Robert Kaufman website/free patterns with a traceable template and there was also pattern published in American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine October 2015 called "Daisy Chains" that is the same block. I was searching info on this block and tripped on your youtube video. How surprised I was when I saw that beautiful vintage quilt.
hello from texas
As you overlapped your batting scraps, it appears you didn’t need to stitch a horizontal seam line. Is that correct?
@HandiQuilter

I did not stitch the batting scraps together at all. I let the stitching of the top hold the batting in place.
Now I have a reason to bug my husband for a long arm I am taking donations
Absolutely wonderful :) Can this technique be used on the 5 foot frame? Thank you.

Yes you can!
This is the first time I have seen this technique and I’m very fascinated. I have a Gamel machine and where do I order that special couching foot. I have also been looking for that little table that goes on the throat so you have a wider space when using rulers. Where can you order those at? I am new to this and thank you so much for these teaching videos.

Hi Judy! You would have to check the Gammill website or dealer to find out about their products.
What do you do with all your scraps if you don't keep them / use them later?
What does the back of you quilt look like when you piece it on the longarm, does it look messy?
@HandiQuilter

It can definitely get a bit busy so I always recommend using a very busy print fabric for the backing.
Could you do this technique with really small scraps?
@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013

Angie, I have done this with small pieces for a collage type quilt. I use a washable school glue stick to keep the pieces in place. There are many other options but I found that to be convenient for me!
How do you thread the needle with the yarn??

That's using the Couching foot. Here's another video about it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaF2usqDdq64odY.html
Just a suggestion don't call them charity quilts they are comfort quilts for those who are struggling. I haven't met anyone who wants charity. But loving comfort is welcome most times.
I don’t see this lasting very long because of the raw edges....
What a waste of time to create a mess!!!
