hi, i want you to know that you are a wonderful teacher, i did everything you said, your tutorials are easy to follow. i knew nothing about quilting, but since i followed your teaching, i feel much more confident, i had lots of fun making one. i will keep your instructions in my heart and head forever. thank you so much. my next project to make is your insulated lunch box.
You are seriously my favorite RUclips personality. EVER. I have only been sewing for a few months and I use you as my inspiration. You’re a delight! Have you considered teaching a class that people can come sew with you?
I was never into sewing as much as every other craft, but with you making it so easy for new ppl. I love love love it. I cant get enough of your videos or your laugh :) thanks for the videos
You always make things fun. And the most fun is when you don't sweat the small stuff. You don't have to worry that everything is so perfect. Just have fun with your quilting and remember that it's a lot more fun when it's done instead of worrying that it's not going to be perfect so you're afraid to even start. Your videos are always neato!
Matthew, how nice of you to make this video to reel in more quilters! It is so satisfying to make and give quilts. I hope everyone gives it a try! Glad your eye is getting better sweetheart!
If you lay the fabric right side up on the batting, smooth out all the wrinkles and then pull back one half of the top at a time to spray it, it works easier and you need less room
Thank you for this video. I have been quilting for a couple of years. A few of your tips are ones I haven’t thought of and will definitely use! I enjoy watching your videos.
Love your tutorials because not only are you educational your fun and funny. I’ve never used spray adhesive how many let’s say lap quilts can you baste with a can?
Awesome video! I hope you will make more videos about quilting. I have done stitch in ditch but didn’t know how to end my stitches in the middle of the quilt. And my straight lines turned into organic wavy lines. 😆 But I’m not giving up! Thanks for all of your tips!
Hi Lovely Matthew, glad your eye is getting better, take care. Really looking forward to this vlog as I have never done any quilting before. Always enjoy your channel, really love your voice. Big hugs and loves xxxxxxxx Dorothy U.K. 😘🙋🏻❤️🌟
Love your fun disposition!!!!! Question: Where did you find that super fun fabric????? I am all about fonts and words on my fabrics!! Please tell me where I can find it!!!!
I LOVE this fabric!! 😍 Also, spray adhesive reminds me of putting on a giant screen protector (like you would a cell phone or tablet...hahaha!). I see a summer project in my future!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@MxDomestic ...the places your mind goes when you are married to a Techie! 😂😂😂 15 years of sewing and being married to him...yup...sometimes the two worlds combine! 😂😂😂
You've sure got one fancy-ass complicated sewing machine! LOL Mine goes forward, backwards, and zig-zag, and that's it. Yours even cuts off the thread! Wow! ;-) Trying to do buttonholes gives me fits! You have to eyeball it, and they don't all come out the same. I miss the old buttonhole attachment my mom's old just plain sewing machine had. It was a replacement foot affair, very bulky, about 9 inches long. You chose a metal template for the size button hole, dropped the presser foot, and let 'er rip! No guesswork, no trying to stop at just the right point, then have to shift things to go up the other side. (Not that any of that has a damned thing to do with quilting... ... ...pardon my ramble!)
hey matt...ever tried making your quilt sandwich using pool noodles? dude, it's a game changer! no more rolling around on the floor! lots o love to you!
I envy your ability to work and move around the floor I lost that long ago.? Is the glue affected by ironing . Could ironing loosen glue if fabric is presses after attaching batting but before quilting?
I can’t move on a wood floor like that either! I learned how to wall baste and it is a life saver. You use painters tape to tape your backing, then spray, fold your batting in half, stick half of it on and then smooth the other half over like Matthew did. I have sprayed my batting next, which does use up more spray. Next time I might take down the two layers, and tape the fabric (top or backing) up and then add the already sandwiched batting and fabric. Does that make any sense?
Do you usually quilt using white thread? Just curious. On this I might have used black on top and white in the bobbin. Nice job though! Always live love watching your videos 🍀🙂
I’m so glad to see you crawling around on the floor doing the batting dance trying to get the wrinkles out. The struggle is real! HA! BTW... When you watch yourself on camera, I hope you see how your exercise is paying off. Getting down on the floor, now that struggle is real!!
My problem always seems to be sewing in a straight line. I have an old singer and it does not like to sew straight lines. Perhaps it is time to save up my pennies and upgrade to a better machine. Do you have a machine you can recommend for someone trying to get back into sewing and does not want to spend more than $300? By the way, loved the fabric it is delightful.
If it’s been awhile since you purchased a machine, be prepared to be wowed, significant advances have been made that make sewing even more fun and amazing. If you can swing it, $500 to $700 is a good middle of the road sewing machine. People who love sewing love their machine and are fiercely loyal to it, which says to me there are plenty of excellent brands to chose from. Consider purchasing from a dealer near you if possible. You usually receive support that makes it worth it. As for a specific brand and model, this isn’t the kind of thing I would personally leave up to some Amazon reviews to decided for me. My sewing snobbery says just please please DON’T blow your precious budget on a new Singer from a big box store. Everybody’s grandmama had a Singer. They are not even close to what they used to be. www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/1115/6412066a.html
I'd definitely go to a dealer, instead of online, or even on the phone. I'd say think about what you want to sew eg garments or quilts, will you want to quilt your quilts? I only say this as I maxed out my first budget on a machine with loads of stitches, but the harp space wasn't big ( it's hard to get machines with big harps in the UK), also the feeddogs don't drop, but are covered. The cover never worked well. I thought I'd sew bunting and bits, but discovered quilting and needed different things from a machine. If possible try before you buy.
I had an old pfaff from the 70s which didn't like straight lines either and pulled so I bought an Elna Elina 40 ( which is exactly the same as Janome Magnolia 7330 or Janome DC2101 - they are often rebadged) on sale and oh the difference, not too fancy but has all I need and wow it is so easy and my seams are so straight!!
Your batting says you need to quilt no more than 10 inches. I see you did horizontal quilting only. We don't need to be concerned about then doing vertical quilting? And like everyone else , I so enjoy and appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Mister Domestic, thank you. I'm working on a baby quilt and bought some adhesive and used it for the first time. What a difference it makes. Never would have tried it if I hadn't seen you use it in your video. I'll never pin another quilt.
I have always been told that quilting should be done from the center out. It seems that sewing the perimeter first is going to make for a bumpy, lumpy quilt.
Actually, I’m embarrassed to admit I have done it. I was in a rush to finish an I Spy quilt this summer and had several bunched up squares. I don’t see a place to add pictures, but I certainly learned my lesson on that quilt. I completed seven quilts before Christmas and basted them from the center put without issue.
@@cgriffisteach1 when you say lumpy and bumpy, do you mean all of the puckers? (like the ones you can see at around the 17:15 mark in this video, for reference) If so, that usually happens to me when I am sewing too fast and didn't baste well. In a rush as you said. I also think it helps avoid puckers if I baste from the center out and then I iron the entire thing (also from the middle out) before quilting to be sure there are no wrinkles which will cause those puckers. We learn with our mistakes so hopefully we will all be experts one day, lol!
I want to buy sewing machine for a job. My family is very poorly .so I can't buy machine. It's my impossible dream. 😔😔 .i seeing your giveaway. I am vary happy. I want to me win.
When looking at videos on RUclips people with black 👀 ... black in the white part are called 👽 .... hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Just joshin' sweetie ( hugs) On a serious note though ... I have to do this on my work table leaving the batting hanging over and apool noodle between and spray a bit at a time. Couldn't work on my knees - fibromyalgia !!!
Just a comment - all the time you spent trying to flatten out the fabric on the batting after spraying, you could have already had it safety-pinned. Not judging! Just saying!

You are a wonderful inspiring teacher! Thank you for sharing your techniques and tips.😃
I got gardening gloves with rubber. Much cheaper than quilting gloves and you can off the fingertips so you can thread the needle.
Get them at the dollar store.
If you lay the fabric right side up on the batting, smooth out all the wrinkles and then pull back one half of the top at a time to spray it, it works easier and you need less room
I just love you. You are so uplifting.

You always make my entire day!! 🌞 ❤ thank you for being so fun!! 💋
Totally ingenious about squaring up in the corner first. Game changer!
Never quilted but have a fancy to turn in that direction. The hints ex ( batting stitch length) are great
Thanks for the informative video. Love your fabric choices. Really great.
Love your technique to eliminate bubbles. 🥰👏
Great way to start out before advancing to swirls and geometrics.
Love your videos you always make my day brighter ❤️ love from the UK.

This is perfect for a very quick piece of loveeeeee😊😁😍😍. Adore the fabric selections😍
Love watching your video's, you make me smile but boy did you do that the hard way.
Totally opposite to everything I’ve been taught re quilting but loved your video and will give your way a try 😊
Looks great Matthew! 😻
Thanks Matt, now I have to start saving for the walking foot LOL
Love your fun disposition!!!!!

Good morning, Mr. Domestic. From Woodland, California.

I have a question do you ever make checkbook cover out of quilt material they sell very well
I’m so glad to see you crawling around on the floor doing the batting dance trying to get the wrinkles out. The struggle is real! HA!
BTW... When you watch yourself on camera, I hope you see how your exercise is paying off. Getting down on the floor, now that struggle is real!!
would taping the first layer of the quilt sandwich to the floor help......using masking tape ?
Exactly what i was thinking, would have made that much easier.
I just love you hun
One more supply you forgot- favorite music to quilt to!!
Nobody should say that sewing is not a workout! Thank you!
Is there a picture of what you bound yours with? I just wanted to see what color you chose.
Wow I think I can do this!!
Do you find the spray adhesive gums up the needle? I've never used it but have been curious
I love the outfit you are wearing. I came to learn, but am impressed by your fashion sense. :) Do you teach tailoring as well?
I want that fabric!!
What music is playing in this video? I love it.
Happy National Quilting Day 2019
love it .. Thank you
Does 505 spray gum up your needle?
Not at all for me. It never has, and I've use it for hand quilting and machine quilting.
Matthew you need to hold up your finished quilt for us.
Now I know what I look like when I do this.
And I am sure it isn't pretty. I am 69 and worked with my 10 yr old grand daughter this week. She tried soooo hard not to laugh at me getting up,
Sue Coady Yes, I am 62, bad knees and getting up and down on the floor are not pretty. But worth the effort.
Your eye is looking better. Hope it doesn’t hurt.

Oh shoot, I won’t be able to be here. Good luck all. Have fun!
