Machine Quilting Instruction on Udemy Has Cash Back with the Rakuten Program

Rakuten used to be Ebates. And I like to use it to purchase things on line. Warning, this is not a normal post, it is about saving money.



Look 👀 ...my Udemy online lessons on Machine Quilting are in the Rakuten Program and you receive 8% cash back on your purchase of my classes as a Rakuten Member. I think that goes for most of Udemy's online courses.

Percentages do change, at the time of this post it is 8%.
What a nice surprise. I wanted to share it with you!


This is the link to the Free Motion Feather Course on Udemy.
Check out Sally's Udemy Courses for Machine Quilters
Courses are in progressive 10 minute segments for step-by-step learning and prevents being overwhelmed.




This is what you will see when you go to Udemy as a Rakuten Member.

My good friend Tina Baker who owned The Guild Quilt Shop on Main Street in Paducah, showed me how to use Rakuten, see loves it like I now do.

It is a simple app and they do actually pay you a percentage back on your purchases. Got a check in the mail last month. You even get a coupon for joining the group. It is not my plan to make money on the referral, just want you to save money while shopping.

If you decide to join using this link>> Click here for Sally's referral link to go to the Rakuten site to find out more. you will get 8 % off my courses.  In return I will get a referral bonus as will you when you refer your friends...but that is not my intent. You can always just go to the Rakuten.com directly and join there.

Hope this helps. Have been very happy with Rakuten so far and truly saved money...it is worth a look. Imagine what other stores and products for Quilters are in their program?

1 Big Tip On What Do You Do When Your Machine Quilting Customer Cuts ✂ Their Backing Too Short

We have all received wonky batting from our Machine Quilting Customer, like when they cut the backing too short.

It is better to find out before you load it for sure and you machine quilt to the bottom pins or zipper and the backing is shorter than the quilt....DRAT!

This week it happen to me when loading a Veterans Quilt for my Quilt Guild. I have 4 more to go, hopefully they have enough fabric.

After turning it every which way I decided to add an extra 12" of fabric to the backing length after I squared it up.

How To Knot ➰ Threads on a Longarm Quilting Machine and Domestic Home Quilting Machines

Thought this might help both longarm machine quilters and domestic home machine quilters knot their threads while machine quilting.

Changing thread or broken threads and when you run out of bobbin thread while quilting can be frustrating. So to anchor the end of the broken thread use this technique of 5-6 little stitches in a row.

Pull the bobbin thread to the top. Then hop over each individual thread in the fabric.
That way there will be no rat's nests on the back.

Stitch right on top of the last 5-6 stitches. I usually clean up the broken end by clipping off any exposed threads before I stitch over the broken bitter end. It makes it a lot cleaner. Plus you can always use Fray Check by Dritz to secure the snipped threads.
