    Lisa, just found you, so glad. I'm making a triangle-square quilt with 1,781 triangle squares of 4 different sizes, made up into 225 6" blocks. I had begun to question my wisdom of selecting this very beautiful quilt. ........................And then along came you with the invaluable information video, glue basting and keeping organized!!!! It's super clever and right on time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're saved my sanity. Will start following your instructions right away.

      While I certainly didn't event this technique...I was much like you when I learned about it :) It completely changed my life in the way of quilting, so I just knew I had to pass on the information. WOW 1781 triangles!! Your quilt sounds amazing :)

    I think the glue is a great idea. It helps keep the order correct, and it just about guarantees a true 1/4" seam. Love any shortcuts. Thank you for sharing. I was working on a huge project last month, "Weave It Be" and I actually had an old calendar. I cut the calendar blocks because they were already numbered. I used the to give me some sense of order. Wish I had known about the glue trick!

    Always wondered how long to heat set it. Your demo mentioned the sticking to ironing surface. I might slide a couple of old pillow cases on top of the tabletop / sleeve ironing board and then wash the pillowcases after I'm done glue-basting. Thanks for the video suggestions.

    • @TheQuiltmakerHomestead
      @TheQuiltmakerHomestead  5 лет назад

      having a pressing cloth would help :) Depending on how much glue you use and the temp on your iron, the time may vary......usually just a few seconds will do

    Love glue basting! After watching one of your previous videos, I started doing this all the time. One of the things I started doing on my smaller squares is placing the iron on the first 2 pieces, and then putting the glue on the next square in the stack while the iron set the glue on the first, and then continue on. It was the perfect amount of time for the glue to dry while I put the glue on the next piece. I found I saved a lot of time this way. Unfortunately, I can't do that with the larger squares, but for smaller squares it works like a charm! :-)

    It's going to make life so much easier when sewing pieces together.
    Not only this but quilt as you go projects. I have a receipe I guess you might call it. Using Elmer's glue, water, and a few drops of dish soap. Put into a spray bottle, and useing it as a basting spray. I found this on the internet of course.Which works great for glueing layers together great for batting layers.For quilt as you go, then quilt my squares and then use you method for glueing the seams together. and also I love your freezer paper applique it's the best. Thank you for this video it's going to be a very big help...

      Mary, I'm with you on being a new quilter at an "ahem" more mature age. I used to sew years ago, and I brushed off my Bernina. It had its first service in 32 years! I thought that having had some sewing experience, that quilting would be straightforward. Wonky blocks! Sew I had to do some reverse engineering (e.g. scan the web and find good teachers). I used Sharon Schamber's glue basting technique for bindings. What a difference. Please check her out for more more on the wonders of glue basting.

    • @BonnieLeah
      @BonnieLeah 5 лет назад

      Lisa Capen also sues the glue technique, but she uses it in a different way I believe.. I took Lisa's glue trick and I used it to hold my bindings together on my quilt as your go quilt.. I LOVE IT.. it makes it so much easier then tryin to hold those strips together with pins... I had a bit of a problem with the white elmers glue bleeding through on my fabric as I ironed it, but washes right out. Anyway, I bought some clear glue sticks and I am gonna see if that helps with the bleeding problem...And I also have wonky blocks and this is my 3rd quilt and I am working on my 4th.. I am already having to rip out a bunch of stuff on my 4th quilt, but that is ok.. I will just rip it out and redo it.. I hope you have many years of quilting and I hope that God blesses you and your family... @@leisadeffenbaugh8636

Tried it and seams hold well on the ends without back stitching but really love the lack of waste of thread and clipping. I always miss some when trimming. This works great. Love your videos.

      Lisa, I had this vision of creating a music-themed quilt for both my sons for about 6 months now, snowballed 80+ blocks and intended to join them. The points of the snowballs were terribly uneven, and I set it aside and tried to ignore it for last evening. THEN DIVINE INTERVENTION stepped in ;) and I saw your video this morning. I now have 6 rows completed on the first quilt and can't thank you enough. The points may not be perfect, but they are so much better than they would have been--and no one will care but me, anyway ;)

I made numbers from felt and my embroidery machine which reminds me of your idea using scraps of paper, but I never thought to add an arrow for direction of ironing the seams.

  • @notesfromleisa-land
    @notesfromleisa-land 2 года назад +1

    Lisa, thank you for this video. I call myself a "serial glue baster", and I like to evangelize this method to convert skeptics! I do my work in behalf of The Church of the Perfect Seam--which meets each time enter your sewing space. For any blocks that you may wish to press open, not a good option. I rarely press seams open, but sometimes not feasible not to on certain block constructions. Amazon has stainless tipped glue bottles at a good price. This method is SO effective, that if you are not careful, you may have a block that is glued but not sewn! The speed and accuracy achieved by consistently using this method cannot be overstated. I have never had any problem with my machine or my needles though I have seen some express concerns about this.
    Glue basting offers many benefits over pins.
    * As you demonstrate, you can pre-prep blocks for sewing. It may seem like more time up front, but you can sew much more efficiently and accurately. Nothing is going to shift, but you still have to mind the seam.
    * Because you have glued v. pinned, you will not prick yourself nor will your blocks stick together.
    * Another great benefit of glue basting is that the glue stabilizes biased seams. Impossible for them to stretch during normal handling/sewing.
    * Fabric will not be distorted by pins. You can also match all your points perfectly. I take pins and put them perpendicular through what needs to match on my ironing surface (padded), and then glue.
    Flying Geese Construction Modification: I recently modified my 4 @ a time Flying Geese construction. (I use Deb Tucker's Wing Clipper and oversize slightly/trim down method). I run a wavy glue line (inside the seam allowance on the diagonal of the big block), and place my two corner blocks on. Then...I slice it on the diagonal BEFORE I sew it. Yep...It makes them very fast to sew with accurate seam allowance. The glue ensures that the bias is stabilized and that your pieces are perfectly in situ from your stack to under your needle. (If you don't do a wavy line, you may not have enough glue on either side of the diagonal to keep blocks in situ. TOO wide, and you will have to spritz to release the 2nd over seam that is glued beyond the thread!
    For the final 3rd block, I run a diagonal wavy glue line again, place the 3rd block and then slice on the diagonal. I can stack 2 at a time accurately and cut them.
    I create a large stack to sew this way and then zoom, zoom zoom at the machine. Perfect seams. Perfect trim. Perfect Geese.
    Give it a try on your next FG project (on a test block) where you have to make many geese. I had to make 160 FGU's for a quilt, and I had that "What if I....?" moment. I'm glad that I did.

  • @carriesaindon5382

    I've been sewing all my life, but never heard about the glue basting.

I am glad you go step by step and show it here ... I've always seemed to learn faster with visual tools rather than reading. Now I don't have to worry about ...

    I love the glue basting technique. At first, I guess I was using too much glue or put it too close to the seam line. Then I got glue on the right side of the fabric. Do you wash every quilt after it is finished? Thanks for the tips!

    • @TheQuiltmakerHomestead
      @TheQuiltmakerHomestead  6 лет назад +2

      I'm so glad you liked using the glue!! It does take some getting used to....and if it helps, they sell little tips that help apply small amounts of glue. I was every client quilt that I make, and every quilt that I keep hahaha. If it's an art quilt I don't ever wash it.

    I know this is an old video but I’m very intrigued by this glue basting and will give it a try. Im a very new quilter so your tips are wonderful! My question to you is do you glue baste everything you’re quilting even if it’s, for example, HST blocks or blocks with many pieces?

    • @TheQuiltmakerHomestead
      @TheQuiltmakerHomestead  3 года назад

      I really love glue basting my t-shirt quilts......it helps SO MUCH. Now generally, I don't glue baste a lot of my patchwork blocks, however there are times when I do...especially if the block has lots of pieces and I'm aiming at perfect piecing. That's when the glue basting really comes in handy!!

    I retired and took up cake decorating, which quickly became a small business, but consumed every minute of my life...no time for family...and I missed my sewing....so, here I am, ready to embark on a new journey. Lol and behold, being an avid user of youtube, I stumbled across quilting videos...I first became enamored with your printing to fabric videos and have been following since. I am very close to beginning my first quilt...getting all my ducks in a row ...now I am adding a piecing wall to my list! I am definitely using your glue basting idea. my question...would a washable glue stick work? And do you think a mini craft iron would work as well as a full size iron? Thank you for such amaxing & informative videos!

    • @TheQuiltmakerHomestead
      @TheQuiltmakerHomestead  6 лет назад

      You can use a glue stick, sometimes it pulls at the raw edge and grays some fabrics. A small iron like what I have to do turned applique would work but take a long time to really dry the glue. It might be best to use the regular size iron???

    Just curious if when quilting the finished quilt, are there more broken needles? I finished two quilts. The lady that quilted my tshirt quilts had never seen the glue technique. Maybe I used too much glue? She had broken a couple of needles with my projects. I hope it washes put well, I'm just about to put the bindings on.

    Is this the normal way to press the blocks? I was told once that you should press the seams open instead of to one side

    • @TheQuiltmakerHomestead
      @TheQuiltmakerHomestead  6 лет назад +4

      Cathy. I believe quilters could make an agruement for both cases. Some say when you press the seams open all of your seams are flatter....TRUTH. some also say, then you press your seams to the side, the seam is stronger and harder to come apart...TRUTH. So both ways have pros and cons. I prefer to press to the side for a stronger seam and so I can nest the seams aiding in matching my points :)

      @cathyscreationandvlog4224 6 лет назад

      Lisa Capen Quilts okay I hope you can understand this, once you Stitch block one and two and you have them pressed one to the left and one to the right, then you decide to stitch both of those together Row 1 and Row 2 which way do you press after that?

      Cathy. ruclips.net/video/ohHiX6HzD1k/видео.html. Check out this video, it may help explain a little :) if you are asking once the rows are together, whicg way do you press......I press to the side one way or the other, it usually doesnt matter which direction. I hope this helps...it may be a good video topic for the future :)
