Just what I needed❤.

New viewer. From tx. I like your video

Which way should the spring be moved a little to the left or forward? Thanks

That looks easy enough

Great tutorial! ❤🧵🪡✂️

Your instructions were so clear. Can't wait to make this!

That’s an awesome haul

Your instructions to begin cutting just below your material is fabulous I have struggled with this for years Thanks for a great and informative tutorial

What a wonderful deal you got. Camping quilts and pillows galore!

Thanks for sharing, yea I’ve been seeing a lot of people showing there purchases and the fabric seems to be a problem. Not everyone dislikes it, but most are not pleased with the quality. I won’t buy the fabric, but I have gotten other sewing things and English paper piecing that were a good deal. I just ordered a ruler set for $20.00 5 different sizes and I hope they are good.

How did the hats react to the starch and heat? I noticed you stopped using the material for a heat barrier. I'd be afraid the iron will scorch my hat. I'll use material just incase.

set one day a week to get all the donation OUT .. that works for me..

This is awesome April! My next project!

I wonder if oil cloth could be used. Can you put these in the fridge? Will it contain and or prevent odors. Looks like such a great project.

Great project

Great video and would make nice gifts.

I've moved away from plastics too. I can even make them custom (Holiday themed for Pot Lucks) Thank you for this tutorial!

Thanks to you I have a new skill!!! I just had to remember to thank you. Thank you April ! This video was posted at about the same time I got my dad some jeans that were too long . I was able to hem them but keep the original seam at the bottom . My dad was thrilled , he told my mom " did you see what Coleen did?! 😊" He has dementia so he did it several times , he was so proud of his jeans. I had got a more expensive brand but he's goten shorter ( he loves Levis 505 but buys cheaper because it's in his budget).I wanted him to have a nice comfy pair incase he wanted to go see his sister before she passed. My mom knew how to do this but never said a word :( I took my sewing machine over and fixed his jeans .THANK YOU for this video at the right time for me ! Have a great weekend & sorry my comment took so long, working my self to death at my folks til recently 🥰

The problem with creative people is they have many dimensions. Their head is always creating ideas for them to do. Everything I look at seems to have a purpose for me and it's very hard to get rid of stuff that I love. There's just not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do in my lifetime😊

What size finished block?

Thanks for your video. Very helpful. I’m wondering if it would be better if you could move closer to the camera. 😊

Thank you!

LOVE this short from you in my short feed !!!! Thank you for improving my day with music & video !

Why 3 inches on the box corners?

I wash in hot water with color catchers all my Temu fabric. Then in a hot dryer. Yes, even the 4.9 inch squares. I separate the pack of 50 or 100. I then put them in a hot dryer. Surprisingly very colorfast and a trace of shrinkage and hardly no fraying. I then I lay them out on a big piece of cardboard and spray them with Niagra spray starch till lightly soaked, when dry, I iron them with a dry iron. I get great squares of crisp fabric which I use in quilts, I am in my 1930s phase of patterns. I think that our quilting foremothers would use this fabric as they used well-worn shirts, undergarments, pants, dresses, and feed/flour sacks. I don't think they would be so picky as quilters purport themselves to be. Absolutely no promblems with the quilts. I have also purchases wovens/homespun type fabrics that were excellent to use in my denim rag quilts. The upshot is, that there are practically no US manufacturers. On is the Fabric Mill in New York. Cherrywood hand dyed fabrics are hand dyed in the US but they don't say where they get their muslin. Most high quality cotton muslin is made in Pakistan. As to slave labor, is you drive a battery powered vehicle, the rare earths used in making the earth polluting battery are mined by child slave labor Look it up if you're fastidious about not supportin slave labor.

Bro my hats are floppy cuz i washed it💀💀💀

So pretty and striking!

The last hat was still on the ground. You can't really tell whether it worked on it or not without putting it on. 👒

I belong to a weekly craft group. I try to take things to other crafters in our group as I come across them. The daughter of one group member works with rehab and assisted living residents. I give the majority to her. She sends me a photo of the stuff they make every so often. Such a simple act brings so many smiles. 🙂

I am a bag hoarder. My husband laughs at me. I had them organized by size and type of closure. I save all the bags my TEMU items come in. I had a garage sale in February. I reduced my crafting hoard by 30% at least. I sold my card making, knitting, wreath, beading supplies and more. I used every bag I had packaging it all. I had over 24 empty totes after my garage sale. My husband advertised the totes online and they all sold! I save the large shopping bags as trash bags in my craft/sewing room. It felt great to lighten my load. You have inspired me for a round two!

Thank you so much. I have been having difficulty with this issue for a long time. My Janome Horizon is now fixed.

Great video! Thank you!

Thanks.x

This was wonderful! Thank you so much for putting this video together! I feel very inspired and motivated that I can do this. It looks simple enough! Thank you again for taking the time to show us your steps! ❤❤❤

Great, helpful video! Excellent job with the voiceover too! Plus you're such a pleasant person! 😍

I am culling my stuff, if I passed away I would not want my kids to waste months of their lives sorting my stuff. I told them to get a skip in and dump the lot. I give them anything they like now if I have it hanging around, why wait until death to give something away. My kids had to take all of their possessions once they had settled into their own homes. We are delusional thinking that we are going to use everything up.

You made it so easy to understand.Thank you !!

Lovely quilt

Hi April my sewing area is so tiny I have to keep it clean

OMG my family owns a property in Bancroft Maine for 8 years and we always cross that bridge we go 4 times a year and someday were all going to live up there

Just found you and subbed. I feel your pain. My sewing/art room is the same. Hope I can be as brave as you.

Your quilt is very interesting. I often wondered what a quilt with different fabrics would be like. Thank you for sharing your time.

What do I do with a floppy straw hat?

Hi April, I know it is hard to declutter. We lived in our old house 19 years and we moved 1 hour away. My husband would catch me cleaning out my grown children’s rooms for the move and just crying up a storm at how they were all grown and out the house. Up to this point we had moved every 2 years and my household got a good decluttering. Military brat and military DOD wife. I found a system that works for me. I start with 4 boxes/laundry baskets. 1 is for throw aways, 1 is for keep, another for donate and last for item in the wrong room. Use as many boxes as you need. I then take the donation boxes out to the garage or put in back of my car. I think only once I went back and grabbed a piece of clothing I changed my mind on. Our house flooded the beginning of this year and my sewing room and closet were completely flooded. My husband helped me move all my tubs, stacks, books and everything out of my packed 8x8 sewing room. What an eye opener. I had 2 sewing tables, chested drawers, 2 industrial 8 by 8 metal racks full of my books and totes.

Wow!!!

Which video comes next? Also, I do not know what you mean by using an old sheet in the middle, or making batting. I want to make a quilt top from old flannel clothes. It sounds so soft and cozy to me. But how do I make the other side, the one that will touch people, also soft and cozy?

Thank you! I have a favorite hat that I can’t wait to try it on!

Im constantly sorting and cleaning. Its endless

I just came across your video on cutting strips and I would love to know what brand cutting mat your smaller one is. Even though I am still able to quilt, my eyes are problematic and have difficulty sometimes seeing the edge of my dark fabric when I place it on my dark cutting mat and I have been looking for one that is dark on one side and white on the other like yours is. Please help me!

Hi! For the umpteenth time I just decluttered BUT this time I did “I need”, “don’t need” , “give away” piles. It has worked so far - still need to weed through areas. What got me going SERIOUSLY WAS THAT I could Not find a quilt kit I bought to make for my graduating granddaughter! I was sewwww disappointed with myself that I I cried. I have now started it and she will get a well-earned gift from her Quilting Nana! GO DO IT, GIRL! Thanks for your sharing!!😅
