    Hey girls can any of you recommend a DVD on the above subject for me. It's just I find it easier if I have a visual tool.
    Thanks in advanced

    You can find a lot of free videos online. Quilterstv, eleanor burns, sharon schamber to name a few. Youtube even has a bunch, but I don't know how to navigate that too well. I think you can find old Alex Anderson videos on HGTV. Try surfing around, I'll bet you can find some good ones.

    Good morning. Hope you are doing well.
    Seems there was a post lately about this. I almost think it would have been this past weekend. I can't remember the name of the post, hopefully someone else will. I will see what I can find at some point today. It is out there, we just have to put our fingers on it.
    On Edit:
    Couldn't find what I thought I remembered.
    This website has lots of really good teaching videos on it.

    When I started in 1996, my sister lent me some Eleanor Burns videos. However, now there are many "Tutorial" videos on the internet that I don't think you really need to purchase videos.

    I know there are DVD's out there, I believe if you go to this site you may find some.: http://www.how-to-quilt.com/

    However, when I really got into it last year, I watched all the free videos on Youtube, the Tutorials on Missouri Quilt Company's website and joined "The Quilt Show" and Quilters Club of America for a yearly fee. That got me hooked up with All of Fons and Porters Shows and The quilt show with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson and Eleanor Burns shows (included in the memberships). I learned a lot!

    Good Luck and happy quilting! :thumbup:

    Sorry Nursie I got the wrong end of the stick. Yes I have looked at a lot of these but was just wondering whether we could get a DVD to play as I worked as it is easy to freeze frame and so on.
    Thanks for all your suggestions.

    I am the same way! I got a Juki on a frame last year, and every time I load a quilt, I have to get the DVD out and watch and stop and do that part and then watch some more, stop, do it....etc!

    Good luck, hope you can find something that helps you. Of course, the best thing might be to take a Beginning quilter class. That way you can ask questions as you go, and you have someone there that can guide your hands (so to speak). I know that helped me a lot.

    Check your library, ours has quite a few of Eleanor Burn's.

    Check out her website and Kaye Wood's too...

    I can download some of these videos to my computer and then burn them to a dvd :wink: as well as the youtube ones :D:D:D
