Welcome to week 6 of That Quilt Along... Quilting your quilt!
There are lots of ways to quilt a quilt so instead of trying to figure out a way to show you each technique myself, I thought I'd feature some great tutorials.
- Free motion quilting - one of my favorites. I learned from Randi and her quilt along. Her pictures and instructions are fabulous!
- Straight line quilting - a walking foot is a must. Amy has a great tutorial and pictures...
- Tying a quilt - very simple if you are afraid of machine quilting. Angry Chicken has a great tutorial...
- Stitch in the ditch - the Purl Bee has a great tutorial on this...
- Grid layout - Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts demonstrates this beautifully!
- Hand quilting with purl cotton - bigger stitches with beautiful thread make a big impact. Anna Maria Horner has probably the prettiest tutorial I have seen...

Great collection of tutorials, Jennifer! Thanks!!
I don't know how I missed that AMH tutorial on hand stitching. Thanks!
Jennifer I found my way to your blog through your sweet comment on my little log cabin blocks on the Moda Bake Shop blog a few weeks ago. :) Thanks so much for your nice words! I'm so happy to have found your blog!
Hello,
LOVE, love, love your site! I found it looking for instructions for binding Hexagon quilt I have for a customer. I make T-Shirt and Memory Quilts for people. I also just started doing lectures at Quilt Guilds. I gave a presentation to our guild on sewing room ideas. This brings me to my question. May I use pictures from your site in my presentation? I would, of course, show the link to your site and recommend (GLADLY) they visit your site. I always do.
I also absolutely love your fabric selection. You have the same taste as I do. I live in an area of the country that is still in love with Thimbleberries and Civil War prints. They are slowly coming around though!
Thanks for your consideration. I've marked your site and will be back frequently to see what you have. Thanks for all the time you spend making it so much fun!
