Christmas Tree Quilt Series
This was a fun series of videos shared in 2021 featuring a giant Christmas tree quilt with outrageous glitter fabric. Because this was only a few months after having my baby girl, I do not have a pattern available for this quilt. This is intended to be a design inspiration series with lots of ideas for using our quilting rulers!

If you'd like to quilt more quickly, with less wear and tear on your body, definitely consider switching to a longarm machine. Quilting on a frame - with the machine on wheels - is much easier than pushing your quilt over a table top.
If your goal is to finish a lot of quilts in a short space of time, a longarm machine on a quilting frame will be the fastest, easiest way to quilt your quilts. Please click here to contact me with any questions you have.
Let's go quilt,

Sit Down Longarm Quilting Videos
P.S. Are you looking for my Sit Down Longarm Quilting series? I shared weekly videos in 2017 to explore quilting on the Qnique sit down longarm machine. Watch the long arm quilting videos all linked together in this playlist:
Note: Grace Company no longer offers a sit down longarm quilting machine. We now have hoop frames which take up far less space than a sit down machine, and you can use your home sewing machine too! Click Here to check out our Hoop Frames.

Hi Evy – You’ll need to attach the laser light bracket to the Qnique longarm first. The bracket is usually positioned on the right hand wheels and connected to holes in the wheel assemblies.
How do you attach the laser light with attachment to the qr 16x elite machine?
Hi Leah
I am finding it difficult to oil my Q’nique 21 with the tablet attached . Is there a video to show what angle to use to make sure the oil is getting to the movable parts correctly
Hi
How old is the grace Qnique 15r …
I’m interested in buying one off of someone but I’d like to know how old it is and maybe the price at the time as it is a retired machine.
Thanks for your help … Monica
Dear Leah Day,
thank you for your great tutorials. You were a big help to get along with my Qnique 14+.
I want to buy a new frame and would love to get a Continium II. In one of your tutorials you use a tape measure, which is placed all over the frame. Where can I order it?
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards from Germany

can you do curve feathers with your feather ruler..do you have any more videos on different ways to use this ruler ….as you can see I need videos and yours are the greatest….I have HQ long arm most of templates are for sit down….love your feather ruler hopefully you have some more videos ..going to order your feather ruler.!!!!! thanks for this time ….A HAPPY QUILTER HERE..
i am in a church quilting group and we make prayer quilts about 50×60 size. We are looking for a quilting frame to speed up our process. Can you recommend a frame and machine? Thanks
Hi Cynthia – Great question! I’ll add this to my list of videos to shoot for the Q-Zone soon. It’s on the list!
Hi Sharon – You’ll need to contact a dealer in Australia for help. When you place the order, you can make sure the leader cloth is included so that will ship with your frame.
Hi, Leah. I just purchased a Q-Hoop. Do you have a video on how to prepare a quilt for a frame? I have always used a domestic and free motion. I have always used safety pins to baste. Everything I have seen just shows putting on a leader cloth and loading the frame. I am kind of uncomfortable with this. How do you do your larger quilts?
Hi Leah I’m just about to buy a 15 qr long arm and loving your videos cause I’ve never used a longarm before a bit scary " I was just wondering do you get the leader cloth when you purchase the machine or do you have to buy it seperate I’m from Australia
Keep those videos going thanks Leah
Hi Mary – I know, I could definitely use more help in that area. I depend on word of mouth mostly so please spread the word with any of your quilting friends that are interested in longarm quilting. It’s very hard to teach frame quilting at a show and very expensive because all the students need frames to work on. Check out MQX shows – they are awesome!
Hi Patricia – Great questions! Yes, I’m using a stitch regulator on the Qnique 14+ / 15 when it’s set up on a frame. The older videos where it’s set up in a table it didn’t have a stitch regulator. That was just my foot pressing the pedal and quilting the same way I would on a home machine.
On wheels on a frame – that’s really a gimmick. Longarms are serious pieces of machinery and not really designed to wheel around. If you move a longarm, you’ll have to do a lot of work to level it each time. I would advise picking a spot and setting it up and leaving it there!
Hi Leah! You need more marketing! I’ve been looking for help with my frame Longarm quilting and requested frame quilting classes at the 2019 Houston Quilt Show. There weren’t any! I love your videos and have learned a lot since I found them. Thanks and keep it up!!
Hi Leah, does the Qnique have a stitch regulator when your just doing free form stitches? Talk about that more on your next vide. I’m also wondering if you can collapse the frame or move it to another room in between quits.
