Hi ,

I have a new quilting video for you this week on a tool I'm using to load my hoop frames: Magnum Magnets.

These powerful magnets easily click your quilt in place on the Cutie Breeze, Q-Zone Hoop, or Evolution Hoop Frames and make it much faster to get your quilt on these frames. Check out this video to see how I'm using Magnum Magnets with my Cutie Breeze frame:

Click Here to find Magnum Magnets. You might be wondering how many you'll need for loading your frame. Here's the list of the frames and the number of magnets needed:

• Cutie or Cutie Breeze Frame - 8 magnets for the back rail
• Q-Zone Hoop Frame - 9 magnets for the back rail
• Evolution Hoop Frame - 10 magnets for the back rail (20 magnets total for using this hybrid frame in rolling rail style)

You may want to begin with just a 5-pack to see if you like using them and if they improve your frame loading ability. Click Here to find the 5-pack of Magnum Magnets.

As I mention in this video, Magnum Magnets are most useful for the first load of the quilt on the frame. After you've quilted across that first row, you'll have to switch to the coil clamps on the Cutie Breeze to contain the quilted section of the quilt.

I continue to use them after the first load to help keep the quilt on the frame as I'm placing the clamps. It's like having an extra helping hand to keep the quilt in place and not slipping off onto the floor.

Celebrate Black Friday all Month with Grace Company

All month you can save 15% on most Grace Company products, including our affordable longarm machines and frames. Did you know you can get a free quilting frame with all Qnique longarms?

The free frames for Qnique 16 and 19 longarms include:

Cutie Breeze Frame - This small hoop frame is great for quilters with small spaces who also need the option for storing the frame when needed.

Q-Zone Hoop Frame - If you have the space to have your frame set up all the time, this small hoop frame is a great choice. You can add frame wheels to make it easy to reposition in your sewing room. This frame also has adjustable height legs so you can set it up for standing or seated quilting.

Q-Zone Queen Frame - This 8 foot frame is a great choice for quilters wanting a faster quilting process. This rolling rail style frame is quicker to load because you can layer the quilt directly on the frame. No more basting on the floor or on a wall! 

I also attach the backing fabric directly to the frame rails using Magnum Magnets, which eliminates the need for leader cloth. These magnets magically fit into the groove on the back of the Q-Zone Queen Frame rail, so pop them on to attach the backing fabric quick as a flash.

When ordering a new Qnique longarm, you'll see the free frame options clearly listed on LeahDay.com. Of course if you have any questions, please reply to this email and ask.

Ready to Try Computerized Quilting?

Last but not least, QCT 6 - our computerized quilting system is on sale through November for 25% off. This is an amazing deal and a great time to upgrade your software if you haven't already.

Here's a video featuring the QCT Basket Weave Quilt Along which shows you all the fun things you can do at this software level:

The video above features QCT 6 Plus, which is a higher level of the program and allows you to place designs into specific spaces like placing feather wreath motifs perfectly into pieced Snowball quilt blocks like this:

With this level of the software you can import designs, place single block designs, and control the placement to resize within the block so the design fits just right.

Do you need help choosing the right software level to get started? Reply to this email to get help picking the right level to begin your computerized quilting journey.

That's it for this week, my quilting friend. I'm piecing a quilt border with leaf blocks at home and have three quilts in progress at the shop. This one in particular I simply must finish and have on my bed by Valentine's Day!

I know the best way to get this finished in time: work on it just 10-15 minutes a day. Trying for bigger blocks of time isn't always possible and consistency is the key. I hope you'll give this tip a try if you're trying to improve your quilting skills or finish a project by a specific deadline.

Let's go quilt,
Leah Day
