Default Control Quilting Technique

I've been following along with Pauline's Quilting World and her QISS System. I learned something interesting in quilting on a domestic. I've always done either just lines with a regular foot, or free motion quilting, where you lower the feed dogs and use a free motion presser foot.

With the free motion quilting I would at times have trouble with missed stitches because I would move the fabric/quilt too fast, or different size stitches if I moved it too slow.

On her QISS System, she mentions a way I hadn't heard of before. She calls it 'Control Quilting Technique' you use an open toe presser foot, keep the feed dogs up, and instead lower the pressure on the foot against the fabric. Very interesting. The feed dogs move the fabric and you just lightly guide it on pre-drawn lines/design on your quilt top.

She is setting up her machine on #8 of the QISS System. She explains how to do it on her machine, and how to find the information if you have a different machine. Here is the site of all of the series so far, and also #8, #9 of the series adds more to it.

Actually the entire series is very interesting.

I really like her YouTube's as she always has good information.
