So the finished quilt will be double the weight of a normal quilt.

This is well presented, but if you have seams that won't lie flat, your quilt top has fullness/wobbles/bubbles the problem is usually in construction, not pressing technique. Back up a bit and go back to basics: did you cut accurately with straight cuts? Did you sew a correct and straight seam? did you press seams open as much as possible (keeps the top flat as possible)? Those three things cause "the wonky and bubbly." Pressing/spraying/blocking can hide construction errors but it cannot fix them.

I love your sewing room. So beautiful. A lovely place to create.

Cute, like a yoyo but not. Im always open to new techniques

Thanks for showing this. I saw it in a book but just couldn’t do it

Thank you for sharing, new to quilting

Love your humour to lighten a sometimes frustrating procedure. Great visual on your techniques. Tx. Ontario, Canada.

The dark side?

Thank you! I’m a new quilter, after you make the half square triangle will I need to square up the block?

Wow. Thought I knew every hexie technique out there... (Like yo-yo's, but better.) One sheet of cotton flannel would probably do fine for batting in a quilt of these. I am currently waiting on shipment of a 1000 hexie papers, and will have some fun with these, while waiting. One odd thing I've noticed in the world of fold-over paper hexie making is the insistence that papers HAVE to be left in on aggregate edges, as if you can ONLY sew them together with the paper intact, and the hexie will self-destruct without the form (everyone presses....right?). I see this even in videos where the maker has neatly thread basted the corners down. Nice presentation. Thank you.

I do this, but I come up the center from the outside, leaving the knot on the outside. That way I can just snip the knot off after I have pressed and sewn together.❤

Thanks for sharing the washing tips. ❤

This is perfect timing! I just finished my first quilt this weekend and had been searching around for videos on how to wash. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

Thank you for acknowledging that you are in the US, and a lot of us watching are not!

ok, the entry to your vid with the pup in the cart prompted me to do a thumbs up! Love it

Is it a UFO if the fabric has been purchased and the pattern is ready to go, but no cutting has been done at all? Is there a different 'title' for these? Most of my stash space is occupied by non-starters like these....😢

Thank you

So you say, but I find it more prone to error looking through the thickness of the ruler.

So glad I found your channel! I needed humor today especially. Watched your "10 tips/flat seams" and love the ending. Thank you for sharing... I learned much.

Smart double face .meditative

Thank you for sharing. Could you use a hexagon template without paper?

Great video. Thank you. 😊

😂😂😂

Nice tecnique. I will try it out on some circles I have left from a yoyo quilt I made.

You could also do it with the velcro-y ones if you needed to be able to detach and reattach it so it could still be stored flat or in a narrow space!

I like that cork idea for seam rippers! I am going to USE that IDEA for my stiletto!

I don’t like the lint brush with my machine so I use a softer makeup brush.

Great Ideas! Thank U

Those ideas are brilliant! Thank you for posting this video. I came across your channel at random but now I'm going to explore what other videos you have. I love finding new ways to do things, especially when it comes to sewing. Subscribed!

I have that same work bench! Right now I use it as part of my desk for work. But it is a great cutting surface. I love this table.

I love the inspiration! I'm gonna get a proper work bench now. Sewing tables are crazy expensive, but I found a good work bench with pegboard back, drawers, and a light for less than $200!

I enjoy using a tackle box to house my sewing/quilting supplies. I bought it many years ago; it has a flip open top, but then the bottom flips open separately and has handy little containers in it which I can use to further subdivide my supplies.

You didn’t tell everyone that your work table is a Husky work bench. I have one and it’s my sewing table.❤

The spool adaptor on your featherweight looks interesting. Can you tell us about that please? The overhead arm that feeds thread from the cone. Thanks

Seems to me you undid the wrong stitches? Doesn’t that leave a hole in your seam. I think you undo the stitches within the free bit of seam allowance. And I’d use smaller stitches and maybe a dab of fraystop because now there’s a risk of them coming undone, especially if you wash your quilt.

Jealous for that bench too!

I sooo wish we’d could buy such a long ruler in the UK. If anyone has a source over here please tell us!

Watching a second time so I can see the intro again.0:11 An adorable dog and pleasant music!🌻 Great supplies suggestions, as well. 🛍️ Also, I want (but may not need) the Kobalt storage drawers. 6:42 I just checked online and all the colors are in stock at my local Lowe’s.

I used to take my Yorkie every where even hardware stores he loved riding in the cart with his hair blowing back it was some of his favorite times. His name was Rhett Butler yes that Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind!! I really like the Kolbalt tool box great idea!! Thank you!!

The magnetic tray, got mine at a garage sale for 50cents or a dollar. DEFINITELY wanting a rolling tool chest for all my sewing crafting tools.

Can you put a link to the table you have

I use a rubber mallet instead of a hammer to flatten my seams. Same principal, but the mallet was already on hand or I would have used a hammer.

Do not get that round magnet bowl, it makes the pins stick straight up into your hands. Get the rectangular one.

Don’t need a full sized hammer. A small tack hammer will flatten those seams and fits nicely in with your other notions.

That large ruler is a great idea. I use my dining table for my cutting table so, it will definitely work for me. I shop at Lowe's (it's closer to my house) and I also have the Kobalt toolbox🤩. I also use painters' tape too. I love your work bench. I would have taken that route if I had thought about it. My husband made my sewing table for me. I also bought insulation foam for my design board. I have one board in each room. Since they are very tall, I put them on their sides. Thanks for the extra tips!😊

Good ideas. I use a parts bin for my small stuff, thread, bobbins, etc. Works great! Saves space

I use a rubber mallet that was a gift from being one of the first people into a sewing festival. It works great for the sewing room. Lighter than a hammer and easier on the fabric.

Ginnie Is your Husky cutting table 30" Deep? What are it's dimensions? I am searching on Home Depot for it.

I need the magnetic bowl...the bigger the better. I have a tendency to fling them somewhere in the general area of my small magnetic pin cushion and then picking them up from all over the floor and table for where I missed

I use old worn out toothbrushes
