Any quilter who has ever taken a class with me realizes that I love the ribbon candy machine quilting design. Like, a lot. A LOT! I have made many versions of my Squared Away quilt pattern and quilted each of them the same way -- with Ribbon Candy, all Ribbon Candy, and nothing but Ribbon Candy.
Squared Away in American Made Brand Fabrics:
Squared Away in Halloween prints:
Squared Away in (really, really old) Fig Tree fabrics:
Squared Away in Riley Blake Lazy Day fabrics:
Each one of these quilts was quilted with only ribbon candy!
Some of my students double-dog dared me to quilt my Pat Sloan Bobbins and Bits Squared Away without using a stitch of ribbon candy and I couldn't back down!
See how I quilted this practice block (and see a few surprises in the video, too!)

So, did you notice my new machine????? I am tickled pink to be quilting on a Handi Quilter Stitch 710 machine. She's a beauty!
In the video I promised to link to a video on making a stencil. I scoured YouTube and couldn't find the video I thought was there. So Sorry! If you know of a video, post a link in the comments so others can find it, ok?
In the video, I promised you links to the products I used. Some of these links are affiliate links for products I've paid for and use. If you click through my referral link, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.

Did you like my video? It is my hope that if you quilt on a longarm or a sit-down longarm machine, you will still find the video instructional. One of the most frequent questions I'm asked is about quilting with rulers on home sewing machines and I really wanted to show you how easy and fun that is!
I am planning to film more videos about how to use different longarm quilting rulers. I have all of the Handi Quilter rulers -- is there one you'd like to see how to use?
Stay tuned for more videos!
Now for the most important question: Do you prefer ribbon candy or swirls on the Squared Away quilt?
Or do you have a different idea?

You're a great teacher! I was able to learn about HOW to quilt in a way I've not seen any other person teach. Thank you so much!
