How I FMQ a large quilt on my domestic machine

Welcome back to my channel! In this video, I share how I get set-up and plan the free-motion quilting of a 90" square quilt on my domestic machine.

If you have questions, please leave them in the comments!

Ive watched a multitude of videos on FMQ, this is the first I've seen more specifics as to how to quilt in sections. I like this idea a LOT!

I’m so happy you’re making this video. I do the same thing. I 100% agree with you.

I find it really interesting that you prefer FMQ on a big quilt over walking foot. The largest I’ve done so far are twins, but I found FMQ in the middle very difficult. Walking foot was easier for me. Of course your throat space is definitely bigger and that would help. As to starting in the middle or at the edge, I think that’s personal preference. I want to have the hard part over with before I’m really sick of that quilt! 😂 Thanks for showing that it’s possible to do a big quilt on a home machine! I have a king in the works and it’s slightly terrifying. 😳

You’re a good teacher. Thank you. I’m new to quilting and overwhelmed by how much there is to learn. You’ve given me hope.

Hi! I hope you are having an awesome day! I sewed and filmed for YouTube, shopped for the Easter egg hunt and now I get to sit and watch your video with my hand quilting! I hope you have a fabulous week ahead! Thank you for sharing your video, your time and expertise.

I found this incredibly interesting and you explained your process so well. It’s the first time that I’ve seen this done. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I am a beginner at free motion quilting and don’t intend to enter my quilts in competitions. Your information was so helpful. Your larger design seems so much easier than the tutorials I have been watching. Thanks for sharing. - Teresa from AZ

Thank you! I’m just beginning quilting and the prospect of free motion quilting is a little daunting. I bought that exact same sewing machine, so it was great to see what can be done on “my” machine. I’m working on a baby quilt now, using a loopy loop pattern, and so far it’s going well. You’ve given me hope that I can finish it.

This is my first time at your channel. I too prefer FMQ. My singer ha a small throat space. I agree with your thought process 👍. I do anchor mine some with a walking foot though. I am doing my first king. I bought some flexible plastic clamp rings to try wrangling the bulk under the throat.

Thank you for sharing your method of quilting larger quilts. It’s very helpful for the project on which I am currently working. The best part is taking breaks.

I enjoyed your video and instruction!
I definitely need more practice with my free motion quilting before undertaking a large quilt!

[daisymarrero]

I have enjoyed watching you quilt this quilt...you make it look so easy, and your meandering is really nice! It's given me the "go" to do the same to a large quilt I've been putting off!

[wilycat]

Thanks for the video. Your method of FMQ is very helpful 😊

[RhondaLorch]

So encouraging - thank you Izzy! I just finished piecing a baby quilt so I’m going to dig out some boards to baste it and then do some free motion work. I’ve been avoiding free motion for the last couple of years but it’s time to get back to it.
