The only original i dea that I have seen for free motion quilting in years! No kidding. I need to get going on multiple tops and went looking for some inspiration and motivation. I got it! A million thanks.

Thanks for the video I always get intimidated when I have to start quilting on my domestic machine, this is a great idea. Love how well you explained.

Thats lovely. Looks like branching coral to me. Nice fill for small areas

Oh my goodness! This makes SO much sense to me! Now I have more confidence to quilt my pieced tops myself. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Love this video. Helped me to truly see the big picture and took some of the guess work out of the blank canvas of the quilt. Thank you. Some minimal marking does seem easier than no marking.

Wow, you make it look so easy Helen.

Love, love, love this method of FMQ. I don’t have a problem of what to quilt, I have a problem of where to go next and this method takes the guess work out of it. Now I can concentrate on making more accurate designs and not worry about getting stuck in a corner. Thank you so much for sharing this unique, and easy, method of FMQ. Love it!

Such a clear demonstration and so easy to follow, Helen. It was such a privilege for Al and I to meet you at the Brisbane Quilt Convention today. You are certainly my quilting heroine. The Great Creator has blessed you with such talent to be a blessing to others, and we revel in it. Thank you. Your Australiana quilt is magnificent!

Love them all!

So glad I watched this. Very informative.

Sew fun!❤️

This is SUPER helpful! Taking the time to mark instead of winging it is a great use of time

That was wonderful. Thanks Helen, for showing us how accomplishable it can be.

Wow your concept of road maps is a great technique. I always tried stitching on the line. Love love the idea of going beside the lines. I can see this for free hand e2e quilting and not getting lost. Glad your here in America sharing your techniques.

Excellent lesson, I am of to do a nice curly border. I love the evenness of your speed control (which I need to work on) and the use of the chalk line. I think it needs practice to be ahead of the line so that we are confident enough to sew round the lines effectively.

Mylo Sanders probably about 50 but I normally quilt at 70 or more. Speed is not the goal but a consequence of practice and confidence.

Please, Helen, could you share more about the marker you are using? I see water=soluable chalk pencils and heat-disappearing ink pens available, but I'd like to know more about the one used in the video.

You mentioned using an iron away marker, can you give more information on the brand and where to purchase one on line? I've yet to find an iron away white marker that gives such bright marks. Thank you!

Do you give VIRTUAL instructions??? I am geographically challenged. A road map - huh. I've gone on road trips trying to read a map with the window open...yeah, out the window it goes. That last road map, I got the drawing part. When you started quilting along...I got literally lost. Couldn't follow the path. But loved it. I will do this...I will do this...I will do this.

Good afternoon do you pin the quilt

You do an amazing job of explaining how to do free motion! I like the idea of a road map, since I’ve always just tried to draw my entire design to follow and it doesn’t work out so well...thank you!
