    WOW, Josh! You are fun, and you do a very great job! Thanks for sharing everything that happens to you. I learn it! Have a nice day!

    So glad you showed what to do when the thread breaks. I had that happen and I figured you did what you showed on the video, but I was glad to see you fixed it the same way. 🙂

  3. I hadn't checked in for quite a while – am so glad I did. Thank you so much, both of you, for sharing your wonderful journey with us. You are generous and make free motion quilting accessible to even beginners. You are both generous. Thank you!

    josh, thank you so much for sharing videos on how you do your blocks Josh. It helps enormously 🙂

  5. Is there a trip to keeping the stitches on the back even? Do you have a stitch regulator? I have just begun to experiment with free motion quilting so any tips you give would be great!!!

    Hi Large Family – Nope, I don't use a stitch regulator. Keep in mind this is a lot like playing the piano – you will have to go through a bit of practice in order for everything to balance out and work right. Definitely check out the video on free motion quilting tips for more info!

    Thanks again for the clear video lesson. In a coming block could you please show the way you tie knot and hide threads when the stitches are a little larger and able to be picked out? I watched one of your earlier videos (that I can't find now) and have just been taking the thread and hiding with the cheater needle – but I missed the part about tying a knot. Haven't washed anything yet – am hoping the inch or so that I tucked each of the thread pieces under the fabric will be enough… I guess should have brought the thread so it's at the same side of the fabric but I didn't….
