THANK YOU! Great tips for a beginner like myself.
Some time you Should make a video and explain what features each one has to offer cause i am looking for another Pfaff so i have one ready to go to a class with. and i wanted to know what are your favorite two machines out of all 7 of your pfaffs. it would be very helpful to see what your machines have to offer. my grandma has a pfaff expression 2034 and a Creative 1471 i love the 2034.
Patsy…You rock! I’ve been afraid to try free motion and drop feed dogs, etc. I am now going to give it a try. I’m excited…and yes..a bit leary, but with the test blocks, I’m going to make it work. Practice…practice and I’ll practice till I get it right. thank you so much for the great beginning videos. I watch them over and over. Keep them coming.
Wonderful!!! Natural teacher – thank you! I can’t wait to try it….
Thank you so much for your informative videos. I also am new to FMQ and your videos have been so helpful.
thank you so much for your tutorials. I have been searching for some for a tutorial that would be more than 2 minutes long not one is as concise as you are-thankfully I came across yours. You’re so informative and detailed, thank you again for the info on quilting, I am just beginning to quilt as I have been a sewer of garments for years now and I just am hooked on quilting(never thought I would be lol) Now I know it can be done &I don’t have to spend the earth on a quilting machine
What a great series. Thanks so much. Just to let ladies know, if you hit the dollar stores at gardening time they have gardening gloves with sticky plastic fingers and palms which work just great in place of the more expensive quilting gloves.
Patsy, I’m so glad I found and watched your tutorials. Great job, very helpful and I’ll watch for more. thank you.
Patsy, I really enjoyed your tutorials. Thank you so much for your help!
Sorry, I can’t seem to reply directly to questions anymore, so this is the best I can do. Yes, the Machingers quilt gloves are made specifically for quilting. You can get them at quilt shops. As far as the Pfaffs go, I love my Pfaffs, but Pfaff stopped making that line of machines years ago. So, I have been buying them up very cheaply on ebay. I have 7 of them now and they are all basically the same machine.

Hi.Patsy my Question is how many Pfaff’s do you own and what do you think about them i have a Pfaff creative 2140 and a Pfaff tiptronic 1069 i love them and was wondering cause i see you sewing on a diffrenet one everytime. Thank you
Just watched all the beginning free motion videos. Amazing! Thanks! Question: Are your gloves specific to sewing, or are they general?
Thanks for great tutorials. I’m new to quilting and this helped to de-mystify the process.
I’m not new to free motion. This was a very good video tutorial. I’ll try out some of your tips. Beautiful quilting!!!
VERY NICE work …..
I have learned so much in just a few tutorials. Great job.
You’ve given me the confidence to try free motion quilting.Thanks so much for your tutorials.
would the same principal of rotatating the quilt apply to hand quilting or machine quilting. I don’t know where to start my quilting area
Really great video’s!! Thank u!
Thanks for the fab tutorials! Am shutting down my computer now to make some quilt sandwiches … practice practice practice!
Thank you for a really helpful tutorial.i found it very interesting.also you are very easy to listen to,which kept my interest going all through the four tutorials!i am definatley going to give it a go.
Thank you so much! These are the best tutorials I have found on free motion quilting. I can’t wait to get started.
Thank you so much for the tutorials. They are fantastic!
Fabulous tips! I found you first through your free downloads of free motion stitches and I am delighted to follow it up with your tutorials. I have been free motion quilting for a few years now and feel like I’m getting better the more I practice. Thank you so much for all the great information and for your fun sense of humor too!
Wonderfully clear and enlightening group of tutorials. Thanks.
