I think this one might be my favourite!🙏😘 I love how you break up all the colors with a light blender.

This style of quilting is a great way to quilt on your own. It’s the way I learned. It’s fun watching you do it. I swear I could feel the fabric.

Gosh that’s a pretty quilt!! Love the diamond pattern, thank you for the tips and for showing us how. As a visual learner this is invaluable 🥰

[andreagraham]

Thank you for going over the diamond quilting. I just finished my potato chip quilt; so easy. Now I'm going to "try" the diamond quilting. So much fun!

[vickiserre]

Very Beautiful Quilt! I absolutely love 💕 how you work these colors into your quilts… could we go out shopping for fabric to teach me? 😉💜

[maryannecadd]

I was wondering which of the potato chip blocks to try, but you've solved that problem. I can make each version and just make a double sided. Thanks! 😍🥰

Your reversible quilt is beautiful. Did both sides of your quilt come out even? Yes, it is a bummer when your machine acts up while quilting. Sewing through so many layers of fabric is hard on any sewing machine. The last time I did a lot of machine quilting, both of my Kenmore sewing machines acted up (the bobbin area fell out of one of them, and the foot control kept getting stuck in a running position on the other). I ended up finishing the quilting on my Singer 301 antique sewing machine. The more modern machines just don't hold up as well. I need to take at least five of my sewing machines in for servicing. Two of them also need repairs. Two other sewing machines need to be given away; because, I just don't like to use them. The Potato Chip method is a good addiction; because, it will not hurt your health and you get to have a lot of fun while making beautiful quilts.

They are addictive! I made one last week.

Thank you so much for the ironing board tip for quilting. I use my embroidery machine to do end to end quilting. My issue is the fabric that lays over the embroidery arm is too heavy ( once I get toward the right hand side) so it cause the machine to ask for a reset. Using the ironing board to help with that load is so helpful. I tried doing the reverse order flipping the quilt around and it still did it so now I can go straight across and no issues! Thanks again

I love that narly guide foot. I’m going to have to get one ❤

[joseduijf-arets]

It looks very beautiful now. This quilting method is indeed wonderful.

[michaelandeileenkilloran]

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing. You’ve inspired me to try both the potato chip pattern as the diamond quilting. Like you, I’ve always ended up with squares. Will try 60 degrees plus 30 degrees.

[janicebrevik]

I use this pattern on the face of potholders. The size rectangles measure two by three and one half inches. They are real cute.

[sweetcake]

stunning, love doing the diamond quilting

[marycurry]

Thank you! I am new to quilting and I appreciate your instructions. I love this quilt. I wish I had started this earlier in life. 🥰

[sandybettencourt]

I absolutely love EVERYTHING about that quilt! I’m looking forward to trying diamond quilting but will definitely practice beforehand so as not to get squares or parallelograms. I hope your sewing machine only requires an easy fix. Thank you!!

[pamkahmann]

You always have the prettiest quilts and encourage me to try something new. I appreciate you and your videos!!

[sheann]

Your potato chip quilts are very pretty, I haven't made one yet, but you are tempting me.
My machine is in the shop now getting serviced. I'm using a backup machine and it is taking a bit to get the hang of it.

[janicecahill]

Your quilts turned out great! I love your fabrics! I made a reversible table topper and quilted with diagonal seems. That makes squares. I am going to try diamonds on my next project.

[marciaoppedal]

Thanks for the great video! You always provide great ideas and tips and tricks😀 One question though about diamond quilting….when you used the 60 degree angle, you spaced your lines 2 inches apart
When you went the other direction using the 30 degree angle, how far apart did you space your lines? It looked like 2.5 inches but wasn’t sure

Thanks for your help
