Elevate Your Quilting Skills with Machine Quilting Templates

Hello quilting enthusiasts! Have you ever wondered how some quilters manage to create intricate designs with such precision and symmetry? The secret lies in their use of machine quilting templates. These wonderful tools can truly elevate your quilting skills to a whole new level. Here at Hancy Creations, Inc., we're excited to help you explore the world of machine quilting templates and unlock your quilting potential!

Understanding Machine Quilting Templates

So, what exactly are machine quilting templates? These are essentially patterns that are followed when machine quilting to achieve stunning, precise designs. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from simple geometric patterns like squares and circles, to complex motifs and pictorial designs.

Machine quilting templates are usually made of a sturdy, durable material like acrylic or hard plastic. This allows the sewing machine's foot to move smoothly over them without causing damage, ensuring you can reuse your templates for many quilting projects to come.

Why Use Machine Quilting Templates?

The beauty of machine quilting templates lies in their ability to help quilters of all skill levels create accurate and consistent designs. If you've ever tried free-motion quilting, you know how challenging it can be to maintain symmetry and precision in your designs. But with machine quilting templates, even beginners can achieve a professional finish!

Using these templates is also a great way to save time. Rather than meticulously marking out your designs on the fabric, you can simply position your template and let your sewing machine do the rest.

Getting the Most Out of Your Machine Quilting Templates

To start, choose a template that matches your skill level and the complexity of the design you want to create. Start with simple shapes if you're new to using templates, and gradually work your way up to more complex designs as you gain confidence.

Next, ensure you're using the right sewing machine foot. A quilting or darning foot allows the machine to glide over the template without causing damage.

When you're ready to start quilting, position the template on your fabric and lower the sewing machine foot onto it. Carefully guide the fabric and template under the machine, letting the template guide your design.

After you're finished quilting, simply remove the template, and voila! You'll have a perfectly quilted design every time.

Wrap Up

Investing in a set of machine quilting templates is a decision you won't regret. They're a great way to elevate your quilting skills and unlock your creative potential, no matter your skill level. Here at Hancy Creations, Inc., we're excited to see what incredible designs you'll create with your machine quilting templates. Happy quilting, everyone!

Reasons I Love SequinSmile-x, For Her Birthday

I occasionally can write a lil fic, but only when inspiration hits at exactly the right moment. So I have no gift fic for my bestie @sequinsmile-x. Instead, I offer a list of reasons I love her with my whole heart including several of my favourite fics of hers. (below the cut, because I got a lil carried away in her honour)

When Tomorrow Begins, the tragic and beautiful EPIC SAGA of one incredible AU with impeccable flashbacks. Vic had just posted chapter eight of the sequel, If Tomorrow Starts Without Me, when I discovered this series I think two years ago. It remains a favourite that I am always thinking about all the time, especially since its gutwrenching, tearjerking, perfect conclusion last year, and I have reread it at least twice.

Martha, the most perfect beautiful angel of a cat. I do not have a cat, but I have a collection of my friends’ cats that I consider my babies and I will one day meet Martha in person and officially give her all the pets she absolutely deserves.

Tequila Confessions, which I guess I accidentally gave some ideas for and then she kindly gifted it to me (the first of many, including two of three follow-ups to TC!). This fic never fails to make me laugh and cry from laughing and I cherish it for starting a long tradition of me being a doofus and Vic running with my doofusness to create magic. (Again, I apologize for Invasion. I was runnin’ my mouth, that’s on me.)

A shared love of Tim Hortons, despite us being located in different continents. I have had many text conversations with her while walking home from therapy with an iced cap or a french vanilla in my hands and Midnights playing in my ears. A truly comforting friend even though there are many thousands of miles between us. Also because she’s British she uses the beautiful U in favourite and colour and honour and it makes me SO HAPPY. (this entry is about Canada-UK relations lol)

Love You In The Dark, another iNcReDiBLe AU fic where our intrepid heroes find each other in 1963. I know she worked so hard to get the setting right, and it can be a challenge to nail the voice and actions of characters in an era so unlike their own, but she friggin’ nailed it with this one. And it was also completely terrorizing when chapters ended on horrific cliffhangers you absolute freak. Also the way she incorporates canon details in AU fics makes me weep every time!! AND when she makes little easter egg connections to her previous fics, omg. I love puzzles and consider myself to be the human embodiment of Nancy Drew, so these kind of connections and secrets thrill me to no end.

HAVE YOU SEEN HOW CREATIVE THIS GAL IS??????? Friggin. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve screamed at her for sending a header she’s designed for an upcoming fic. And the fake insta posts???? Like wtf. The way she captures their voices in FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA. Stop being so good at everything (please don’t stop you are my lifeblood).

The Way Home, which actually I can’t even speak about because I’m still upset about the last chapter, you evil little pillbug.

She is so fun and so funny and so kind and so giving to this little fandom! We have a rich collection of hotchniss reads thanks to an incredible amount of talented writers, but sorry this post is about Vic and she posts new chapters and one shots multiple times a week, totalling well over a million words on ao3, despite having like a job and friends and a life outside of the internet. I am in awe, always.

okay sorry i’ll stop embarrassing you. love you vic and happy birthday!!!!!!

dear pals,

i started this blog mid-july 2021, during my birthday week vacation because i had a sudden urge to read emily prentiss fanfic and then hotchniss fanfic because i ship milfs with dilfs because ilf them both and then i extremely obsessed over it as you do. it turns out that this space has consistently been a source of joy for me. i’ve been on tumblr since like 2009 but this particular sideblog is where i’ve finally found my weird crowd of fanpals. thanks for your contributions to my absolute mental feral bananas brain! if you can read this, you are genuinely loved by me.

happy new years, friendos!

your pal, hancy ♡
