The Doable Duffel | Beginner-friend bag pattern!
Great tutorial! You make it look so easy! I'll have to try this on a quilt back soon! Thanks so much for the great video!
Thank you for the great video . Do you have need to oil the Janome?
Why do you say all this and others have no problem. Sounds like user issues
Great video! I have the TL2000qi and agree that the walking foot is awful. I'm going to invest in the Janome foot to see if that's better. I love my machine and agree - it's a beast!
That’s how I have been folding mine but they still have fold lines . So why is this way better? Thank you!
My favorite part is attaching the binding by hand. I find it very relaxing as well and it’s my time to enjoy all the hard work that went into the quilt making process.
Another analogy for a victory lap is in NASCAR! The winner actually does what they call a victory lap. It’s quite exciting to watch. 😂
I love my bloc loc rulers. I have the clearly perfect slotted trimmers and for some reason I’m not as accurate as I am with the bloc locs.
New subscriber here! I stumbled on your video as I have just finished a quilt top. I always have to refer back to a backing tutorial and reinvent the wheel every time it seems. I love your teaching style and will save this video for future reference. Thank you!
I did this years ago … After someone told you can’t do it!!!😂
What a great video! You are a good teacher with step by step instructions. Thank you!
ALL OF THIS! I love my Juki TL as well. It's a no-frills WORKHORSE! Anybody who is considering buying just ONE machine should pick this one. I also enjoy the really easy (and always working) needle threader.
I can't watch that coffee mug under there. Pretty sure my heart rate went up 🫣😂 I would 100% knock it over.
I have been wanting to make one of these quilts for a while now and truly...THIS is the BEST VIDEO that explains ALL to constructing a perfect block! I too am a Long Arm quilter for my own quilts and can so appreciate flat seams! Thank you so very much!
Great tutorial!❤
thank you for this tutorial - i've only finished one quilt so far but this will help me to not hold back on getting a great backing fabric for the next one!
First I want to say I'm one of those people who don't write comments. I started watching this video and stopped about halfway through. This is good information, but I don't need it. I finished the quilt I was working on and guess what... the backing was directional! I found your video and watched it from start to finish and I have to thank you. Worked perfectly! You are a blessing!🙂
Well done, thank you!
So cool!! It’s easier with your instructions, thank you!!
I do this too! It's such a great way to have a "seamless" backing.
Pure genius! Thank you.
Excellent tutorial
Thanks for the tips! Very helpful
I love your videos! You are so meticulous about everything. Just a question, is there a reason why you don’t use a double thread to bind?
I love the clover seam ripper as well.
It's a winner, for sure!
Thank you for the informative video and the purchasing links. I just order one. All the best!
You're welcome! Hope you love it!
Can you share where you get your discount 5 yard fabrics?
I mostly shop at small, local Canadian shops. Not sure that would be very helpful for you! But I'm on a tonne of quilt shops' email lists and snap up any backing deals that I see. 👍
Great video! I would love to see one on matching prints as well:)
Okay, I've added a pattern matching video to my to-do list! 📝
Thanks ❤
Happy sewing! 🎉
Excellent video! I use hand weights to hold down my fabric when cutting. Both on the ruler and the fabric if it's sliding away. Just 3 lb weights from Target.
Hand weights are a genius idea! Thanks for sharing! ❤
What are your thoughts on tearing fabric instead of cutting? Do you prewash?
I don't prewash any of my fabric, and I alternate between tearing and cutting the fabric. I find I need to trim the sides whether I tear or cut, so it doesn't make much of a difference to me.
@matantequilting Thank-you.
Definitely would love learning pattern matching… also where to go for five yard counts at a discount.

Great video! Any recs on where to find 5 yd cuts on sale?

This is the most precise video I’ve seen on this. Others I’ve watched ended up just a big pile of fabric being tossed around with dubious & non- confident voice overs. Soooo THANK YOU!!!🎉🎉🎉 I think I can actually do this now
So glad this video was helpful! You got this! 😊
Great tips. I do quilting for others & get tons of not so squared backs. That is top & bottom as well as the sides. I don’t like piecing backs either but this did look easier.
Haha, yes! So many not-square quilt backings. I think people just don't know that our job would be easier if they were squareish. 🤷
I have this EXACT RSS backing fabric and I've been procrastinating sewing that one seam. Great tutorial, as always!
This is the sign you've been looking for - it's time! 😆
What is the name of your handy dandy pressing tool
It's the Clover Finger Pressing tool, and it's linked in the video description. 👍
Great tutorial, as always, Shelley! I’ve made an executive decision to use wide fabrics for backings. Wide backings used to be printed on lesser-quality qreige goods even when they “matched” a quilt shop quality fabric line. But these days the wide fabrics I’m seeing are good quality. So the offcuts can be used in scrap projects. A 108” wide fabric is often less than twice the cost of a 42” wide fabric. And I often find good sales on wide fabrics. The convenience of not needing to seam the fabric is worth it or me!
Love that you've found a system that works well for you! ❤
😊
Yes please make a video on pattern matching
I'll add it to the never-ending list! 📝
Brilliant timing, ive just finished a quilt top for my son for christmas & really struggling mentally with how to cut the meters of backing fabric! Thankyou for a fantastic tutorial, giving me more confidence to go tackle it ❤
So glad this video found you at the right time! You can dooooo it! 💪
The struggle is real! I procrastinate take a deep breath & procrastinate.
Haha, yes! Why is it so hard to sew one seam? The quilt top had, like, a million seams in it!! 😆
This tutorial is excellent. I have hand bound many quilts over the years, but you have taught me several tricks that are going to better my finished products. You are a great teacher!
Thanks so much for the kind comments! I'm so glad you were able to take away some new knowledge!
I would really like to try this but I’m so afraid I’ll miss my zig zag and serpentine stitches too much.
I absolutely have a second machine for those "zig zag" moments! 😆
Which pattern is this?❤❤
It's a traditional log cabin block - I used a free tutorial from Lo and Behold Stitchery. 👍
Hi!! would like to make this bag but unsure where to get the pattern measurements and step by step tutorial!! Do I have to buy the pattern/
The pattern has all you need to make the Doable Duffel (it's linked in the video description). 👍
Bloc Locs are my fav!! I love stacking all HST with background top left and then trim right and top side of all. Then rotate the half-trimmed stack to have the background in lower left. Now you will still be trimming the right and top. Seems to go sooo much faster for me. ♥️
I agree, I love the Bloc Loc rulers.
Thanks for your cutting tip, always cut the wrong way 🤓
There's no quilt police here - just do whatever works best for you! 👍
great tutorial thankyou. please can you give me the link to your companion holder for everything
You can find the link to the binding case in the video description!
