Quilting in the Dark with Dusty Farrell

http://bit.do/bZXAX Accuquilt: secret overstock sale.
Here's a first for Quilt Out Loud, a show taped in the dark. Dusty Farrell takes quilting to the level of performance. He turns on the music, turns off the lights and using glow-in-the-dark threads, he quilts his heart out. His "Good Feathers Gone Bad" technique is all about the twisting and turning and overlapping of feathers and not about being perfect. He's adding texture and flow to the quilt. He first stitches a spine for the feathers to follow and then adds traditional feathers with a flair. He uses the Handi Quilter HQ24 Fusion longarm quilting machine choosing this model because the black light is built in. Dusty is a fast quilter and has been known to quilt a queen size bed quilt in 30-40 minutes. Short Takes on Longarm Quilting with Vicki Hoth Vicki shows Jodie ways to play with thick threads, like those made by YLI, which can add so much to a quilt but can't be threaded through the machine needle. One method is couching the thread down with either a matching or blending thread in the machine. Another method is to wind the thread on the bobbin and stitch the quilt on the back side. To do this successfully the entire quilt is stitched from the front side. It is then removed from the machine, turned over, and stitched from the back side with the bobbin thread appearing on the right side. This way you have an outline of where you want these thick threads to be stitched. Vicki shows a neat trick for easily burying the thick thread ends.
