Starting with paper practice and a few tests, in this video I quilt my whole background, leaving it ready for leaves and flowers in the follow up tutorial. Please join me. 0:00 Wall Flowers is the inspiration for this video series. 0:23 I set up by cleaning the machine, choosing bobbin thread that blends into the background, and filling a dozen bobbins. 0:48 I also set up a small quilt sandwich to test my shapes, thread color, and tension for my interest strips. 1:50 Stitching "peacocks and rivers," I test flat yellow thread. 2:37 Then I test a variegated rust and a variegated orange/yellow. I pick the orange/yellow. 3:07 I recommend you practice, including paper practice, which preps you for making decisions on the fly later. 3:44 Quilting the first peacock area to achieve a lacy feeling. 4:10 Trimming the first peacock area. 4:44 Caulk your mistakes. 5:54 More chalk reminders can help you remember what you are planning to stitch. I do not get very literal with my quilt elements. 6:42 I clean off the stitching reminders with a nail brush. TRIMMING REMINDERS: Curved tip scissors work well Get comfy Trim 3/16- to 1/8-inch Step back periodically Trim more later Chalk miscuts 7:30 Practicing seaweed on paper, picking the thread, and testing it. 8:19 After flattening my work, I stitch out my seaweed, doing the middle last. 9:02 New things are coming, such as a value video.

I leave a lot of empty voids and lay down stitches as fast as I can. I start and stop new areas with tiny little stitches. I test tension in the margins after each new bobbin, and I pull up my bobbin thread when I start up in the middle. 19:15 My backing shows the voids that I left as well as a few thread pile-ups. 19:48 Overcast skys...but I think I have a good shot to show the detail of the allover stitching. 20:23 The canary yellow vertical areas. I may stitch in the voids. 20:56 The aqua areas. Next time we will work on leaves and flowers. Please like. Subscribe. Comment. Ask Questions.
