🙋overthinker here! I’m really looking forward to this. Quilt Race was great for making quick decisions, but I need more help. I’m spending too much time considering options and not enough time getting it done.

I love that you’re excited about a piece of beautiful linen with symmetrical water stains! It IS beautiful!!

But if people are involved, politics are involved. Politics means people

Happy accidents ❤

Absolutely amazing weave. I love linen sooo much

Love how ethereal this looks. Last year I embroidered a flag for a local exhibition here in France and your video reminds me of how deep of a meaning it can hold

Jude and her work have been dear to me, too, for a very long time.

Such a great conversation! Learned several new things about slavery.... having to wear light colored clothing so the master could keep track of his "property".... Imagining myself on the auction block (I'm in my seventies).....So glad you are going to France, Beverly, to that quilt show. I listened to a podcast with 2 of the curators of that exhibition. Sounds like it would be a wonderful trip!

Loved this Zak! I can see what drew you to teaching. I enjoyed the calm, clear instructions and will be checking out more of your work and videos. The Quilty Nook also sounds like such a great resource, especially for someone who is new to hand quilting. Thanks again❤

OMG! I just saw a video of Judy's work from the Festival of Quilts in England and am now listening to your interview. I was wowed and truly blown away with her fantastic work. I cannot say enough about how her work touched me so much. I love how I am listening to your interview the very next day after seeing her work......

Loved the quick video! Easy to follow, right to the point,and wasn't drug out. Thank you! I think I like this stich. Love and light to all.

I'm so glad to have found your tutorials! I am VERY new to quilting and work as a Hospice chaplain. I have been wanting to make tiny prayer quilts for patients/families/staff who might like to have one. Thank you!

This was such a great pod cast. Thanks so much!

Love, love, love this talk!

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Dear Zak, I ‘sew’ enjoyed this little tutorial. Thank you so much for releasing it into the world : )

So happy I found you on you tube, I am a rural NC girl and love quilting using used clothing, you are such an inspiration to the sewing community, today was my first day watching and enjoyed it tremendously, thanks

Love your positive vibe!

you always ask questions that elicit what feels truest about the work

Loving the conversation about sampling. There is something so special about how quilting is so "generational" where makers make for other family members, maybe out of worn and unworn scraps, with visual ideas shared from makers before.

Thanks Zak, the tiny quilts and your demeanor are delightful 🥰

I love how you can almost feel the fabric textures in this video.

Amazing!

Much as I love this podcast I was looking forward to seeing the quilts. Am I such a technotard that I can’t find the images?

I really liked “seeing the hand of the quilter” aspect of your discussion. You have given me permission to add on after thinking a project is finished. I’m very much on a Zak Foster field trip right now watching and listening to SeamSide and Soft Bulk. I share your videos with friends and the Southern White Amnesia series has sparked some discussions. Also, the burial/funeral/memory quilts have prompted me to open discussion with a friend whose husband’s Hawaiiana shirts still hang in her closet after 4 years of mourning. Thank you.

Hi may.I correct you it’s a prick stitch , basting stitches are longer and usually temporary x

A particularly good video/lesson. Thanks so much!

That’s Cool!

Love these!❤

HELPING I have one ... I think I see what you're doing. THANK U

“Pin, thank you for your service” love it!

You are a godsend to many sewers don’t pay attention to. Small is great!

I am 82, but as a young mother, didn’t have $$ for gifts and or postage to send relatives meaningful gifts. On visiting mother, found none of my treasures hand sewn items had been saved. Sister tossed them, maybe mom did as well. Sad. Still hurts.

Hi Zak, Love Seamside and Soft Bulk. I'm near Toronto. We frequently take road trips from Toronto to Florida. I'd love to plot a course on our travels to thrift shops along the way to look for old quilts. Can you recommend a few stops for us? Thank you, Sandra

Thank you Zac. I'm sitting a long way away in a rainy grey morning in Australia, moved and grateful.

Thanks for showing how to do this. It's sew great. Finding time to make a whole human sized quilt can be challenging for some of us and I'm one of them. This will help me get at it without feeling like I won't be able to actually finish a people sized one in my life time. 🙂

Hi Zak, I have to agree with a couple of the other comments you are the Bob Ross of sewing/quilting, your smooth voice is perfect for teaching.

The closer and the more overquilting lines, the less warm the quilt will be.

How it makes me feel: (1) I shrink in horror from quilts that have multiple sharky "teeth" pointed points, even if they supposedly represent flowers. I can't relax and sleep under such an object, (2) I feel sorry for the quilters who have to make, like 50 or 85, of the same block design to complete a quilt. I don't feel that individual deserved to waste a week or more of their life cutting and sewing the same block over and over, such mind numbing work. My empathy for them disallows me to enjoy such a quilt. 😅

awesome

Thank you so much! I have tried to learn this for forever. Watched your video, grabbed a thread and needle, and success!❤🎉

What is the purpose of the basting stitch?

OMG so ingenious ... looking for a stool 😊😮

Dang Zak. You are a very compelling storyteller. Stories that need to be told… but mostly that need hearing.

Yes..Great Grandmother Foster. From Pennsylvania.

Arab here wondering wtf is wrong with white American savior complex and virtue signaling

Your friend looks so cozy and happy to be burrito-ed!

Thanks for this. I like making small things a lot of time cause I can see the finished results quicker and I still get to stitch😂I bought one from you last year or so enjoyed watching your process.
