Thank you for your lessons. Thanks to you I quilt all my quilts.

[maryannequinn]

Thank you for making this so clear for us all. I’m quilting on my Wards Signature White sewing machine(circa 1967) and so far everything is working well. Thank you again.

[sheilaweathers]

I just practiced the designs in the first dot to dot video. I love quilting with rulers and this is so easy. Thanks for providing such awesome instructions.

[sewingal]

Thanks for this challenge! It's always amazing to see how simple things are when broken down.

[DBlanco]

Ugh! I am still so nervous to do this! 😂 I am teaching myself with the help of you, of course. I dont know how to tie off, tho, i have been just running back and forth over my stitches, good enough?

[ELubitz-kp]

I am so excited and happy to start your tutorial. My daughters gave me the panel and boarder for Christmas😊

[michelleinScotland]

Thanks Angela; I can't wait to get started.

[shirleyjussel]

Oh my gosh Angela so ready to try this. Thank you for the tutorial!!

[suehatfield]

Thank you for this fab new series Angela - you make long arm quilting so do-able by simplifying and breaking down each pattern into a number of lines of sewing. Your templates and approach have really helped with my long arm journey.

[ttclevf]

Love your work, you instructions are so clear and easy to follow, I'm very new to quilting, and found other videos very daunting

[danieledetail]

This will be my first challenge. So excited

[lauraf]

Excited to get started on this challenge... you make it look so simple. thanks!

[shirleeanddavesmith]

SO looking forward to this challenge. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of quilting with all of us. I've been watching you for several years and always enjoy your videos. Would you suggest that I quilt around the black outlines to stabilize the quilt layers?

[Sewwithdebee]

This is great and helps clarify a few design ideas

[lizbethy]

Do you think you might consider doing a block of the month quilt, something quick and easy? Also a quilt in a day or even a quilt in a week or month, something for those of us who have lots and lots of material to get used up?

[TheHawkeyeQuilter]

Fabulous FMQ tutorial as always! Thanks.

[carlenenightingale]

The expanded resource materials are missing most of the page numbers. Please be sure to include them in the future. They are so helpful. I keep them in a notebook but take out separate pages to keep close for reference, and it can be really tough to put them back into the notebook in proper order. They have been a great help in other quilting projects. I am so excited to get started on this FMQ Challenge.

Glad to get started. Can you comment on thread color. I purchased the thread collection for the panel. Suggestions for how to transition thread colors and select best bobbin color(s) would be appreciated.

[MelanieTallent]

Thank you so much!!! Just finished the video and excited to get started. Could explain a little bit about the thread colors that came with the panel?? Like how to go from one color to another??

[karmelsowers]

Thank you Angela. I still am excited to get going on this but have developed a small tear in my bicep. I am hopeful that complete rest will help me avoid surgery. Will these videos always be available? I just can’t start right now.
