No More Wrestling with Your Quilts! Easier Machine Quilting

Managing the bulk of a quilt in your domestic machine sure can feel like a workout!

My newest video shares my favorite ways to make machine quilting easier – from setup and (optional) stabilizing lines to simple ergonomic tricks.

No matter what size sewing machine you have, I hope these tips will help you quilt more comfortably and confidently.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Choose the right batting to minimize bulk
  • Support your quilt to reduce drag and strain
  • Use techniques like folding, packaging, and puddling to make the quilt easier to handle
  • Use optional stabilizing lines and strategic planning to simplify stitching order
  • Stay comfortable with stress-reducing tools and stretching breaks

If you’re ready to enjoy quilting time that is more productive and less stressful, this video is for you!

When health challenges made hand-sewing (and hand appliqué and hand-quilting) no longer physically viable for her, Beth Ann’s first instinct was dismay and discouragement. But Grandma Baldwin gave her a loving (but stern!) “No pity parties – just figure out a different way.” So Beth Ann turned to her trusty sewing machine and began devising ways to achieve the fine quality appliqué look she craved faster and easier than she ever thought possible. And a career was born! Now Beth Ann enjoys sharing her accessible “invisible” machine appliqué and creative machine quilting techniques with other quilters and fiber artists around the world.
