I’m so excited to present a live webcast (my first!) with my good friends at Sulky. They spotted my recent book, Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons, and thought it would be a hot topic for their webcast offerings. I was flattered to be asked, so of course I said yes!
So what should you expect in this webcast? I’ll share my 20 years of quilting with an embroidery machine experience with you. I’ll cover everything from raw edge applique to custom quilting to overall quilting. I’ll show you how to manage the quilt bulk while achieving perfect placement on every hooping. You’ll learn what type of designs work on blocks and large negative spaces.
Included in this hour of education, is a downloadable continuous line design for 6” x 10” hoops*, a downloadable guide to my secrets of continuous line quilting on an embroidery machine plus a question and answer period at the end of the webcast.
You’ll get an in-depth look at my patented quilt and applique as you go technique, the difference between custom quilting and overall quilting. And I’ll cover selecting shape designs, connecting continuous line designs, working with magnetic hoops and three options for handling a full size quilt on a home embroidery machine.
We are packing a ton of information into this webcast but don’t worry, after the webcast, you’ll be able to review it whenever you’d like.

8 years agoI am working on a Grandma’s quilt using preprinted panels from Block Party Studio that was initially for my goddaughter’s mother-in-law. She had two sons and had given up hope of becoming a grandmother because both sons were in their 30s. She battled cancer three times and was on the path to recovery when she was taken at the age of 58 from heart failure. So now I am making the quilt for Grandpa in hopes that it gives him comfort and joy with his first grandson.

8 years agoHi Eileen. I attended/watched your webinar last night, Thursday March 24th. Great job. My interest is peaked about getting a magnetic hoop. The machine I was looking at getting the magnetic hoop for is my 10 needle Brother PR 1000e. Curious why, at least in your pictures, the fabric is under the attachment bars as opposed to floating across the top of the lower frame (which should be the one that attaches to the machine) which would also enable the fabric to float across the entire U shaped arms that hold the hoop. Without being able to float across this area my quilt top or bulky item will have to squeeze through the back corners – not going to happen with bulky items and certainly makes using the camera impossible. Is the frame for the multi needle hinged, or does it “float” on top like the ones for a standard embroidery machine?
Julia
8 years agoEnjoyed your webinar and am excited by the prospect of using my embroidery machine for quilting. The magnetic hoop looks like a great idea! Is it compatible with the Pfaff Creative Sensation? The compatibility chart lists the Sensation Pro, but mine is an older model.

7 years agoI am quilting a quilt using the snap hoop monster and the Short E. I am having difficulty with the snap hoop moving off kilter during the quilting process. Is there anything I can do to help that? I am doing a continuous design from Stipple Mania. It seems the stiffness of the stippling is causing some of the problem of the magnetic hoop not holding.
