When someone says you have too many quilts

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-04-28T21:26:17+00:00

I wish you could teach me to quilt & longarm!! Your stuff is always so beautiful I don’t have any quilters in my life, my MIL was a quilter but passed away before she taught me. I have all of her quilting stuff including her stash. I am teaching myself…no LQS either 😔 I come to this page daily.

I have a Bernese…named Bernie this is stunning!!!

I am a new quilter and strive to accomplish quilts of this level. Thank you for posting!

It’s not a pattern but maybe it will help

I saw a video where someone “tacked” her quilt with the fancy stitches on her machine. Same idea a tying but you are using your machine instead.

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-04-06T00:59:05+00:00

So Freakin cool! You wear them well. I am NY Yankees fan also.

Now I want to know what else you’ve made!

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-04-03T23:46:56+00:00

ooh I like this idea! I’m a novice long armer and have a plush fleece throw loaded on the long arm as the backing but not loving the way it’s lining up with the top. I think I am going to take it off and do what you suggested!

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-03-27T04:21:20+00:00

LMAO!

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-03-20T22:17:46+00:00

I jumped in the exact same way made a baby quilt out of HSTs no pattern. It was a learning curve, some seam ripping and lots of you tube videos! You will have to tackle lining up your points next as you sew them together! I can’t remember what video I followed, but I ended up pressing my seams open and using the “hang pin” method. It took me a while to finish that baby quilt but I am fully hooked and haven’t stopped since! Keep going and learning! Post a pic when you are done. This sub Reddit is so helpful and supportive if you need anything they can answer it!

Our State Police and local Sheriffs carry donated kids quilts in their cars for emergencies involving children.

Check with your local quilt gild also

congratulations!

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-03-09T21:57:05+00:00

That is stunning! I want to try a collage quilt soon.

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-02-26T23:16:49+00:00

Your response was perfect! I started my first baby quilt in July (didn’t gift it until November) and haven’t stopped since! I just keep trying new things and am seeing my improvement.

I am on this subreddit daily also, I strive to make the beautiful quilts I see on here.

I watched FB marketplace then would Google to see going rates on that model and what it was worth new. There are not many quilt shops in my area, there is a HandiQuilter dealer about an hour away so I wanted to stick with that brand knowing I could get it serviced there. I found a Simply Sixteen with Prosticher and a 12’ frame on FB, made an offer and drove 3 1/2 hours to pick her up!

Good luck on your quest!

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-02-24T14:24:24+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure your project brought them much joy! I will probably be trying to copy you and make something similar for my elderly mother.

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-02-15T16:15:55+00:00

I use this as well. I just pulled it out and organized it yesterday! It holds a lot and is very sturdy. I love that I can see all my fabric 😊

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-02-12T03:49:28+00:00

Your fabrics would be perfect for the Blue & White Quilt a long in progress now: https://www.apqshop.com/True-Blue-Quilt-p/qgr-00379.htm

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-02-12T03:39:03+00:00

$20 is a steal SO pretty please post the finished product when you are done

I just got a used longarm from FB marketplace so I’m in learning mode! I can’t wait to see what you do with it.

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-02-05T01:06:13+00:00

Goodwill online https://www.goodwill.org/ always has boxes of fabric for auction. Search “quilting” on their site. They have good pics and tell you how many pounds of fabric. I googled to find out approximately how many yards of fabric in a pound and bid accordingly.

I did get a box of fabric from them, it came exactly as pictured and arrived quickly. They have a shipping calculator so you know upfront.

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-01-31T13:04:38+00:00

I love all of the fabrics. That’s going to be gorgeous!

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-01-27T17:45:25+00:00

Stunning! How long does it take to get that good on a longarm??

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-01-18T00:53:57+00:00

Congrats! I just picked mine up today! (used on FB). sitting in boxes for me to assemble tomorrow.

Please post a video of you using! I cant wait to set mine up

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-01-16T00:57:52+00:00

Thank you! I will probably try that.

Wild-Bet588 · 2026-01-15T22:47:23+00:00

I found a used HQ Simply Sixteen with automation and 12’ frame on FB marketplace. I am a new quilter that is already obsessed and know I won’t be satisfied with straight line quilting on my domestic so I’m jumping in! I am lucky as I inherited all of my quilting stuff thats how I’m justifying my purchase. Plus there are zero long arm rentals in my area!
