How to Straight Line Quilt, Quilting with a Walking Foot, How to Quilt Your Quilt

Hi, Everyone! I'm Jessica and today we are starting week 8 of the Nona quilt along. This week we are basting and quilting! In the main video for this week, I showed you how I baste my quilt and how I free motion quilt it. But, in this video here, I wanted to go over straight line quilting, in case that's the way you'd like to do yours!

I'm going to show you how I use my walking foot and straight line quilt.

You are a fabulous teacher! Thank you for this great tutorial. I am a beginner and sincerely appreciate this!

[Paint]

The details you add are perfect for beginners. Thank you!

[barbaraoconnor]

Really enjoyed watching your tutorial. I like the idea of stitching wider spaces and then stitch in between if you decide on less wide spacing. Thank you so much!

[lorrainewilliams]

This is a wonderfully done, very detailed video. I love how patiently and clearly you explained this process. Thanks very much for sharing this!

[wilycat]

You do such good tutorials. Calm, even voice inflections, good demonstrations, respect your audience, just really professional. Thanks for the video 😊

Jessica you are teaching me so much. I have a Bernina 770 Q. I’ve learned everything about quilting from watching different YouTube channels. You are not only teaching me how to quilt, but giving me tips on my machine. I can see I’m going to have to get that clear foot, and learn how to adjust my pressure to 0. Sometimes I use my piecing plate, and sometimes I don’t. I’ll start using it from now on. Thank you. I love all the tips. 😊

I love your personality!

I've watched a lot of people

Thanks

😮 wow thank you for sharing your wisdom. Great job very informative. You are a great teacher

I have the exact same foot set with seam guides, for a Babylock. I do like the walking foot, but did not know how to change the soles. Now I do, thank you. Also love your presentation without all the silly fluff and time wasting small talk. I did straight line quilting for a wall hanging with a lot of half square triangles for my daughter. The walking foot is great for that. Love how it turned out.

You are such a great teacher! Thanks for your help. 😊

Thx so very much, Jessica 💜 Love your teaching style. This was helpful.

[wendywiese]

Thanks, Jessica, this was very helpful. I am definitely going to try a practice piece. Your instructions are perfect. Have a great holiday weekend.

I just did three quilts with straight line quilting. I didn't do too bad, but didn't think of that little line bar thing till after the third quilt. I've never done it that way before, but I sure do want to try. Being a visual person, I think your instructions are more clear than my manual! So I am going to try it! Thanks so much for showing this and how easy it is to do! I still need to quilt my Nona quilt too!

[penelopeevensen]

Tx u for the informative video. I am just starting my hand at quilting so am trying to absorb as much information as possible not only regarding materials and types of blocks etc but equipment and use of a sewing machine. You were very easy to follow.

[mamusewandsew]

Very nice demo! You answered all my questions.

[lisaulrich]

This was very helpful! You do such a good job of explaining quilting. Thanks for doing this!

[anneoconnorao]

I've been using painters tape to mark my first line. I have a hera marker in my cart on Amazon.😅 I have also been using a long piece of trim as a guide for the middle from corner to corner diagonally, but after we use up the trim, I will use a measuring tape. I've been using a serpentine stitch because it is forgiving. I think I'm ready to try straight line quilting after watching this tutorial! Thank you! You have done a really good job!!

[rikkiwamsat]

Jessica! What a great tutorial! I got some great tips from you that I will be using soon, thanks!

[Recoil]

At first, I was sure you said, "No one quilts alone."
And I was like, "Yes, Sister! I am with you. Someone hears our cry in the darkness!"

[homebound_lovingit]

Thank you. Im going to do this on my around the world quit.
