What???

I always cut my stripes parallel to the selvage. I cut the borders first, then the pieces for my block. With the remaining fabric I cut my block pieces out. I rarely have wonky borders.

Such simple adjustments that make all the difference. Thanks!

Thank you for this, is really helpful

Thank you yes it was always the quarter inch seam allowance that f my work up this makes sooooo much sense

Mulher useu trabalho e maravilhoso dimais

Your demonstration shows how a little advance prep (trimming corners) can provide an excellent visual aid in alignment for perfect piecing. I use a 90 degree trimmer on another brand that I have to trim one corner of a square for the LeMoyne Star inset. Of course, not needed if you are trimming the outside and not upsizing the insets (square/triangle). I need a little more forgiveness in this block, so I upsize my cuts by 1/4 inch. That requires working from the inset out (v. lining out first). It helps me make perfect blocks.

Point trimmers/markers are a wonderful tool. I have another brand than yours, but every quilter should have one.

sorry.... can anyone else hear the awful sounds of lip smaking.......if you can get through that her info is good

Have your book and will watch your videos. Love the beauty you make and am looking forward to getting up the confidence to start

Maybe it is just me, but your voice quit after you started sewing. It only came back when you started the finger pressing. Then quit again after you said it was off by a hair. I can't tell what you are doing after that point.

I think Judy’s quilts, probably more so than an other designer, are showstoppers. The things she does with fabric are simply amazing. The patterns take a lot of work but they are worth it. I’ve been quilting for twenty years now and she’s the only designer where I will buy her book without even looking it over first.

So many subscriptions, one singular video! Is there a paid class out anywhere for Judy's designs? I own her books but would love a video presentation!

I love your methods, no wasted fabric and streamlined sewing! It truly is easier in the long run to cut and sew accurately than to cut things larger and trim them down later. That method is okay for people who are very inexperienced, but takes so much more fabric and time. I like to starch my fabric, but that’s not something everyone wants to do. It is a little easier to handle with that extra body.

I love your Singular Stars book!

I'm reading your Log Cabin Quilt Book now

I love Judy Martin's books and have made several of her quilts. I bought the point trimmer, but have never really mastered it. I did not find this tutorial as helpful as I had hoped it would be. Nor were the included directions helpful! Now what I have started doing is to make for each quilt a template from template plastic and use it. Most template patterns in Judy's and other's books show on the templates at the back of the book how the points ought to be trimmed. So I mark the template and trim off the points. Then after rotary cutting the triangles, I lay my just-made point trimmer on top of them and trim off their points. It does make aligning triangles with, for example, squares much easier and more accurate. I agree about the distracting background music, incidentally!

Your background music makes it hard to concentrate on the video.

Suggestion: You need to demonstrate the pointer and not just showing us the pieces you did. I still don't know how to use the pointer. You need to show how to use C. There should be some instructions to show the uses of A ,B, and C along with the pointer.

Thanks for a helpful video. I couldn't tell if you were pressing those pieced seams to one side or open. Does it matter? Also, do you find that moving a needle position can be a solution to the seam allowance challenge?

I like your sewing machine - it sounds like a sewing machine and not one of these new fangled computer things they make now

Confusing

thanks for reminding me of something I learned in home economics in the 70's and forgot

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It seemed like you were nervous. The first part was helpful. However, When you laid the masking tape, what were you trying to show? I think you should show how to set up the electrical tape. I have placed tape but the feed dogs get in the way. How did you work around that? What kind of machine is that?

Thank you for explaining this so nicely. Subscribing.

Thank-you Judy. That's a great help.

Thanks for sharing. I'm just about done making the snake river. working on the second border. It's amazing! You are so talented to come up with these designs.

I purchased Judy"s book "Extraordinary Log Cabin Quilts" which described this cutting method. I then cut out an entire log cabin quilt using this method. Besides the obivious about cutting on the lenthways grain, I also found it will cut more accurately because you are not wrestling with a large piece of fabic. I have also cut and sewn a stack and wack quilt using this method and it the bias sewing seemed to work better. I have since purchased "Judy Martin's Ultimate Rotary Cutting Reference" book. This book is wonderful. I found it on Judy's website. She had the book to me in 3 days.

I've owned this ruler for a very long time and finally pulled it out and tried to use it and even with this tutorial it just doesn't make sense to me at all. When I first bought it I thought you just needed to use the trimmed corners of the template to whack off a 1/4" tip of the triangle.

where can I order this tool from ? Also , I live in Canada , in case it makes a difference :) Thanks

Very well done, never thought about this before. Thank you so much.

I like your idea on having a prefect seam. I try so many time to get that seam. My seams did got a little better few of my 9 patches where off I trim them down to get the measurement I want.

Thanks for making the video Judy. I have been using your trimmer and love it but was not sure if I was really using it right. Now I better understand what is happening when I use C!

I'm going to try this!

Great!!!!

Hi Judy........excellent instructional video! Thanks for taking the time to post this online for all of us to learn from. My Best To You and Continued Success in ALL You Do, LuAnn in Oregon luannkessi.blogspot.com
