Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my tips for how to do straight line quilting on a quilt. I’ll be showing you how to what supplies you need as well as some of my helpful tips for marking your designs and trying something new! I hope this helps you out! So let’s get started!
For this tutorial you will need some batting, some scrap fabric , a ruler, a marking tool, and a walking foot for your sewing machine. You can also straight line quilt with a regular sewing foot, I just suggest going a bit slower so your fabric doesn’t shift.

Just found your YouTube channel and watched quilting straight lines, so informative! Liked and subscribed.
I just ran across your You tube Videos. I usually watch MSQ Co but looks like I found another I like real well. That is you. Thanks for your Videos.
Thank you! I’m so glad you like the videos! 🙂
Love love love your teaching skills. I started sewing in 1991 because of my depression and I was pretty much self taught; A few questions here and there got me on the road. I love to sew but I put it down about 15 years ago. Watching your tutorials ignited my desire to start sewing again.
Thank you!
I thought it was a excellent show. I have not quilted before but am very excited to learn. This the best instruction I have seen. I think I will be able to quilt. Thank You
