How to Do Hand Quilting and How to Do Machine Quilting with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims
(Show 3003) Alex and Ricky team up to share the basics of hand quilting and machine quilting that they have learned over the years. Alex begins by discussing the tools needed and then shares tips for fabric selection, her preferred thread weight, rocking the needles and a trick for tying off a knot in the air. Then it’s Ricky's turn to discuss the importance scale and density play when choosing a design. Design ideas continue as he shows a no-backtracking feather doodle design and how to deal with managing the bulk of a quilt under the arm of the machine bed.
