Hi ,

Today I’m free motion quilting Web Fill on both my home machine and longarm! I know we're past Halloween, but this is a fun design that works great when both quilted tiny and really big on our quilts.

Longarm Quilting Web Fill

I only had a small corner of the practice quilt I used to get to know my new Qnique 21X Elite longarm, but it was enough space to quilt two spider webs.

An interesting discovery I made almost immediately was that the curving lines could be travel stitched at speed.

I found if I focused on the movements my hands made for the starting curve, I could duplicate the movements and end up travel stitching pretty close to the starting line.

Perfect? No, definitely not, but it is worth experimenting more with this concept of duplicating a physical movement. This is definitely easier feeling than super slow, teeth clenched travel stitching that never turns out perfect anyway.

I forgot to use my frame weight and that might have made this design work out better. More weight on top of the quilt would have meant more stability of the machine and possibly cleaner lines.

Ultimately I think Web Fill is a great choice for any style of machine and on any scale. This means this design can be quilted super tiny around delicate Halloween appliqués or massively across a pumpkin bedspread.

Do you have a spooky quilt to finish? While Halloween just passed for this year, it’ll be back again before we know it.

Let’s go quilt,
