Tracy’s Beautiful Day in the Garden
That's pretty❣️
Gingham Fancy as it looks absolutely pretty fancy to me! 🥰
I love it!❣️
THANK YOU .. the on point with the check , never really thought of that cut for it . 😁
Glad it was helpful Gabrielle❤️
Love the on point with checks. Valuable Lesson. Thank you
How about “Happy Trails”. Name of your quilt pattern.
This is going to be gorgeous! The colors are cheery and made me long for spring so the name for the quilt that came to me is “Cheers to Spring!”
I love Spring too❣️
For the gingham, you're right that a straight design is the more important factor. The bias cut is very pretty and will bring a change of direction visually in a very square design. You could also have cut the pieces along the gingham lines even if your straight of grain is a bit off. But I do prefer the bias.. pretty.
Thank you Helene❣️ I usually will cut along whatever straight line I could find...but this gingham was "so off" that it warranted the bias LOL🤣 I agree ...after I cut on the bias...I preferred that.❤️
Quilt name sugestion: Serenity Squared. Tracy, I really love your teaching style. You are a great example of valuing our opinions. I also work with starched fabric.
Great quilt name Carla❣️ Thank you for the kind words and for supporting my channel by watching❤️
Ditto on the name “serenity squared”. Love it!!
Because I have asthma I like to dip my fabric in a starch bath. Then I hang it on a wooden drying rack. The rounds are covered with pool noodles so there are no creases. Works like a charm.
Awesome tip Emma ...thank you❣️
Oh my gosh! I have to run out and get a drying rack and pool noodles asap! I have some Best Pressed which is ok for light starching but I think I want to try a starch bath. Do you starch Jelly Roll strips too or is that a disaster?
@@brendamccoy4625 never ever ever start pre-cut, jelly, rolls, and charm packs and such… They will shrink a quarter inch on you and it will mess up your entire quilt design…
@@TheSewingChannel I forgot to mention I set the rack into a long under bed plastic gift wrap holder. Remember not to squeeze the starch out of the fabric. Let it drip naturally into the tray. Ask me how long it takes to iron out those squeeze creases. LOL
@@brendamccoy4625 I have never done anything but whole cloth because starch shrinks material a small amount, so your 2 1/2 inch strips may now not be the right size for your pattern. To me cutting the strips out of whole cloth lets me choose ONLY the colors I like.
It's already so pretty! How about calling it Climbing Roses! I like your glue stick tip for perfect intersections, too.
That's a great name too❣️
I love this quilt design; Can’t wait for your next video. I would call it “Tracy’s Garden Quilt”!
Thank you Sharon...Oh that's a fun name❣️ I've never named a quilt after myself🤷🏻♀️
So many great tips! My favorite was making samples and hanging them up to make sure you still love it! ❤️
Right!!? Thank you so much Fallon for supporting my channel by watching...I appreciate it so much❣️
I used this same fabric for my very first quilt. All the checks were crooked. I didn’t know to how to fix it. It was a jelly roll. Thanks for he on point info. What a fix.
Wow I never thought about starching the fabric before I cut. Thanks for the wonderful tip. Call it the Spring Time. Ok yes I am ready for Spring.
You are so welcome! Sweet name idea❣️
I think it could be called Sophie's path . It's going to be beautiful.
That's a great idea to name after the fabric line❣️
Thanks so much for the tip in the gingham. I literally just cut up an entire table runner and turned it into coasters because I couldn't stand looking at the crookedness of the lines. I will definitely remember this method in the future.
Glad I could help!❣️
Using the paint can trigger on starch is genius! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Great for arthritic hands too❣️
I take pictures of my block layouts to see how the lay out looks, plus it allows me to switch them around until I get the layout I want. I eliminate the layout pictures I don’t like and I use the layout picture to help keep my block rows in the right place as I sew, just in case I drop my row tags. You gave so many great tips, thank you!
Thank you for mentioning the picture layout tip...that is a great way to see what it will look like❣️
The gingham tip … excellent! Thank you. Name for quilt … Scattered Picnic.
OH how different...I like that name ❣️
That's going to be beautiful! I think I would call it Love's Garden because of the fabrics print and colors. Good luck!
YOU ARE AMAZING! THANKS FOR SHARING! I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU!
I'm so glad it was helpful Teresa❣️ Thank you for supporting my channel by watching...I really do appreciate it❣️
Your Genius appears again! You never disappoint Me with the way You go about creating your projects and I’m loving 🥰 this one so much because I have a huge FQ Bundle of “Beautiful Day” that I have been waiting for just the right pattern to showcase it in and I really am leaning towards this one especially because it’s not like anything out there! There are great suggestions in the comments for the name of it, Tracy’s Garden sounded nice and Tracy’s Serenity was a good one also! Thanks for Sharing! 😊
Thank you Marie for all of your kind words❤️ I really do appreciate your support of my channel❤️
Excellent video! So many cutting and pressing tips, and boy do I need those kind of tips! Your quilt is going to be beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind feedback...I really do appreciate it❣️
Thanks for sharing the gingham tip. I never heard of that before. Going to try it out. Name: On a Clear Day. It looks so crisp like a garden on a clear day 🙂
That name is so unique❣️ I like it❣️
I learned more from this video to help me keep points matched up and fabric cuts accurate than I have from watching dozens of other videos. Thank you so much, you you have a new subscriber!
Glad it was helpful!
I love how you cut the gingham fabric. Brilliant. 16:14
Thank you Bev❣️
"Spring Has Sprung!"
That's a fun name❣️
That's such a brilliant way to cut gingham or checks! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks tracey!😘i totally enjoy you're videos
Thank you so much Neva❣️
I hope @Sew Yeah asks you to do a class for them! I love this quilt! Almost as much as the soft rose quilt. I think you should call this garden love.
What a wonderful name Karen...I'll add it to my list...so many good ones in the comments today❣️
Great tips, Tracy! Especially regarding the gingham. Really good idea! Your quilt looks like an English Garden to me :)
That is such a pretty name, Rosemary! English garden…
Wonderful tips and tricks shared with all of us. Great on point gingham cut! Your quilt top will be just the best ever, too. Thank you for this tutorial. Blessings to y'all.
Glad it was helpful Vicki❣️Thank you for the kind feedback too❤️
OMG Tracy, your process is amazing. No wonder your quilts turn out so well.
Thank you so much for the kind words Joyce..I appreciate your support❣️ (The camera hides many mistakes LOL🤣)
Thank you for the tips. I need to starch my fabrics. I like the idea of taking a picture of fabrics. I would binge watch videos if someone in the house wouldn't talk so much. Maybe I need to wear your sweatshirt. 🤣 Actually that may work at my office, the coworkers won't hush so I can concentrate. 😥
That'll be very pretty. I vote for the name someone else gave, 'Tracy's Garden Quilt'. You always give interesting tips. I noticed your hooks for handles, nice! The gingham tip is great.
Thank you Patricia❣️
Glue trick is awesome. I can never match up my seams when I press them open!
Thank you ❣️
What a brilliant tip re the fabric imperfection! So simple yet so effective. Thank you - I never ever thought of that method.
Happy to help Jo❣️
This quilt looks like Garden Pathways beautiful 🎉
OH what a pretty name Joy❣️
I love your tips as a beginner I appreciate the wealth of knowledge that you share
You are so welcome Karen...thank you so much for supporting my channel...it means a lot❣️
Great job on cutting the gingham!! That always drives me crazy and I never knew how to correct it. Thank you Tracy!
You are so welcome!
Square Dance. The colors whirl and dance in this one.
That name is cute and unique❣️
Call it “ LOVE”😊
❤️
Again, you knocked it out of the park! That is going to be a gorgeous quilt. I particularly like your gingham trick. It bothers me when stripes or checks are uneven. My eye usually goes right to that piece in a finished quilt, so I want to avoid the problem.
Happy it was helpful Paula❣️
I truly enjoy watching your process. Garden Picnic is what I would call it.
Thank you Hillary❤️ Love the name you picked❣️
SO HELPFUL! Gingham!!!
Well this was a spendy little video. 😂 saw the Martelli cut n press mat. Had to have it…then there was a link to the gorgeous Sophie fabric, yep had to have two. 😂 love love love your pattern. Can’t wait to get my bundles. Have a marvelous weekend Miss Tracy. Going to try the glue on the four patches. That’s pretty cool. 🤗
How awesome Debbie...you bought some great stuff❣️ That glue trick is major for those tiny four patches matching up...I love that one too❤️
Oh my goodness love this. Call it Tracy’s Gem! For the life of me I cannot remember where you got the sticker holders for your rulers that you use like a handle. Also do you have your wool mat on the other side of a cutting board? If so how did you do that?
I’m full of questions today. You keep me on the ball and keep my mind busy. Not only have you grown as a quilter since you started this channel, you have helped so many of us grow. I think you may be preventing me from getting dementia. Lol. You know quilting is one of those things that prevents dementia. That is an actual fact.
Thank you Anna for all the kind words in your post today❣️ Go to my info box under the video...follow my Martelli affiliate link and when you get to their site look for the "wool mat/cutting duo". It's an awesome item❣️
I went straight to Amazon and ordered paint handles. That’s a great idea
Awesome❣️ Great purchase❣️
I love it. Thanks for Gingham tip. Name for the quilt, "Flowers For Mimi". Thanks for sharing!
Awe...I love the name...Thank you❣️
I always learn so much from your videos - thank you. I usually don't starch before, but thinking about it now if I'm cutting small pieces, even though it's more time!😊And the glue stick method for perfect matching,
just plain love that! Name for your quilt...Is it for your granddaughter? If so, Josephine's Joy might be nice. Whatever you choose, it's going to be a gorgeous quilt!🌸
Thank you for all of the kind words Susan...I appreciate them so much❤️....Great name... I think this quilt will be MiMi's (mine) LOL🤣haha...Josie has approximately 7 or more quilts from Mimi❣️
@@TheSewingChannel You're welcome, and wow!! She's got her own little quilt stash started! Good for both of you! Can't wait to see this one finished!!🌷
Great video! Appreciate all your tips for cutting especially the photo (an old technique that should be used more often)! Tracey another home run.
Thank you Joy...it's amazing how the darks and lights look so different in black n white...puts all the colors in the right perspective✅
I think Scattered Blossoms would be an appropriate name since you are throwing in some 4” large floral prints. 😊
Oh that's a pretty name..I like it❣️
This is going to be so darned cute, Tracy! If you think of it at the end of the series, could you please share how much of the gingham ended up going into scraps or waste? Finding more of an older fabric might be prohibitively expensive but when buying a current FQ bundle, grabbing 1/4-1/2yd extra of just any ginghams or plaids in a collection may be worthwhile. That was a big eye opener!
I use liquid starch ever since my friend whose child has COPD told me aerosol propellants make it harder for those with hindered lungs to breathe due to their effect on the environment. It’s been over a year and while I miss the convenience, the mix of liquid starch and water 50/50 in a mister bottle has saved me a lot of money and works very well. I use the cheapest liquid starch I can find and am stunned by how long a half gallon lasts. Even better, the child no longer has asthma attacks in my home so yay!
That sprayer tip for when aerosols are the best option, though? Genius!
Quilt name ideas: Garden of Hope, Garden Traces, Summer Garden, 4 Patch Summer, Tracy’s Patch
This was the perfect video today. Your voice is so calming :)
Wow I had no idea so many had issues with starch over spray. A mask would probably be helpful✅ I will try and make a note of what was left of the gingham.✅ Thank you for all of the kind words..I really do appreciate the support of my channel❤️ Your quilt name ideas are awesome too❣️
Thank you so much for the very informative tutorial. Talk about teaching and old dog new tricks!!! You are amazing. Can’t wait to learn more tricks!!!
Love the fabric choices and lay out of your blocks!
Thanks so much!❤️
Love the glue idea, I just started using it on borders. I see Cherry Blossom for the name 😊
I like cherry blossoms...so springy❣️
You always have fun stuff. I have made a few zipper bag holders. Love your channel
I really like the 2 ruler method of cutting and your little handle on the ruler. I saw one in a tutorial that is removable. I think that will make my ruler storage better. Your method for cutting the gingham is great. I shy away from checks and stripes just because I don’t like wonky. Thanks for this video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your tip for separating lights & darks! For the name, how does "4-patch Square Dance" sound?
Cute name❣️
I’m with you on the gingham! I LOVE gingham prints! But I HATE that they always end up skewed! I can’t stand it either. So, I end up avoiding gingham for small pieces bc I don’t want to see those crooked lines in my quilt. It’s ok for the backing and binding.
But yours is a novel approach, and I like it. You will need lots of extra, tho. The scraps wd be cute in a crazy quilt! I don’t mind crooked if it’s supposed to be crooked! But otherwise, every time I look at that quilt it’s going to bug me!!! 🌷
Same! If I put it in crooked I would be drawn to it every single time I looked at it LOL🤣 I will use up those gingham scraps in a scrap quilt for sure❣️
I use my phone camera and video to view my lay outs. I spot problems faster for some reason. I can't explain it except it works to make a video of the lay out and pictures of it. I guess whatever works. I love your channel thank you for sharing your ideas.
Thank you for watching❣️
Great video, I really like the start of your quilt top, thanks for the tip on cutting gingham fabric. I do that a color and black and white picture. Thanks for sharing Tracy
You're welcome Beverly😍
Don't ever use spray starch when you are wearing hard contact lenses. I ended up in an emergency room after starch got under my contact lenses and scratched my corneas. I couldn't see; and, my eyes felt like they were on fire. I was blind for many hours. What I did not know was that not all the starch goes directly on to the fabric (some of it stays in the air for some time). I was warned to never wear contact lenses when I am using any product in a spray can or bottle. I don't wear contact lenses anymore.
Oh my word Arvetta! Thank you for sharing that experience with everyone !!!! What a horrible experience!!!! Was there any lasting effects????
@@TheSewingChannel My eyes are scared. I may have to go through laser surgery sometime in the future (to remove discoloring that makes it hard to see some colors and to drive after dark). Bright sunny days are very hard on my eyes. I wear hats and sunglasses on sunny days and still have trouble seeing. I'm spending a lot more time at home.
Wow...I'm so sorry that happened to you😕
Love this! What a beautiful pattern. For some reason, it looks like a strawberry patch to me. What about Strawberry Summer for a name?
I love the name❣️🍓 The color is more raspberry in person But strawberry works too❣️ Thank you Kris for watching to support my channel..I really do appreciate it😍
That's what came to mind for me also. Strawberry fields . 😍 I'm not sure why exactly, maybe strawberry jam. Lol
So many helpful tips for quilting! Thank you for sharing. Suggestion for quilt name: Garden Delight.
Happy to help Valerie❣️ cute name idea❣️
I always wondered about straightening up the gingham, thanks for the tip!!
You're welcome Tracie...It's always a bummer when it's skewed so much that it doesn't make sense to try and cut properly🤷🏻♀️
It's turning out awesome! Great job!
Thank you! 😊 I am loving it❣️
If you cut it in line with the selvages, you can have it be straight. Just something I found out about, and it works every time.
I tried on these ones…. On top of crooked… they were going in a weird direction 🤷🏻♀️
Love love this ! How about My Quilty Cuteness ! 😊
Oh how quilty cute is that name❣️
Love the gingham on point!!
Thank you ❣️
Thanks Tracy!
Brilliant for the beginner quilter I am! 💕
Glad it was helpful Lynn❣️
I am fairly new to quilting, watch a lot of videos, etc., and I am just recently hearing about starching fabric before you cut it, and boy, do I wish I knew this sooner. Hardly anybody does this apparently bc I watch a ton of quilting videos and people rarely talk about it. I am making a square knot block and having the worst time matching my points. Just from the time I cut my pieces til I started assembling my blocks the fabric stretched and warped so badly. I am having to wrestle all my blocks to get the points even remotely matched up. Lesson learned. I will never make another quilt without starching my fabric first.
Starching is the key to some accurate cutting❣️
Cheery checkers is a good name. Love the colors.
Cute name Terry❤️
I love your tips!!
Thank you!!
Great tips👍🏼 I will definitely be implementing into my cutting routine😊
Awesome❣️ Thank you Renea❣️
I bought the sprayer for my starch cans when you first suggested it. Thank you I love it.
You're welcome❣️ It's a definite game changer❣️
Thanks!
Going to be beautiful! Name should have garden in it!!
I agree "garden" is a possibility❣️
Garden delight ❤
❤️
Never thought about doing a mock up...worth considering!!
I never move forward without a mock up LOL I have messed up too many times LOL🤣
You have on my hoodie sis!!😂 I had to say something, since I can’t start sewing with you🤣❤
You're the best! I was just thinking about next week and researching a great place for us❣️
Interesting tip for working with that gingham.
Indeed...I hope it was helpful❤️
I agree, I love cutting starched fabric. The accuracy is so much better.
Right!!? Totally more accuracy...I am finding that I am zero to no waste when trimming...it's barely a sliver off of a side or two🎉🤩
Things I learned today: there is a trigger for spray cans, using 2 ruler method to cut. Using print on point to recover from wonky printing. I love your design so far. How about “Four Patch Garden” as a name?
So much to learn❣️I love that name❤️
My hats off to you....:)
Thank you for the kind words Roberta❣️
Rose of checkers💖 like rows of checkers .that just the first name that popped in my mind.but I'm sure there is a much better name just had to at least try ..be blessed
Such a cute name❣️
Love this one. The quilt name that came to me. Simple Sweetie.
OH I love that name Frances❣️
When string piecing I use the thread cutter on my machine to separate them…sometimes I think we have too many unnecessary gadgets😊
Great tip Nancy❣️
II think you should name this quilt Strawberry Picnic." That's what the colors remind me of.
That's a cute name❣️
It's coming out really pretty. Garden Lattice?
Thank you Jennifer...Cute name idea❣️
So cute!
Enjoyed this video, learning something new everyday, wish I new the heavy starch trick when I started my quilt and that trick with the gingham 🙃….how about naming it “Garden Trellis”or “Rose Garden Trellis “🤷🏻♀️🙃
That's a pretty name Jackie❣️
I love that reference to a garden trellis! Wouldn't Marilla's Trellis be fun as a reference to "Anne of Green Gables"!
My suggestion is, Marvelous Spring.
Awesome suggestion...Arvetta did you by chance notice that you were in my video today????LOL🤣
@@TheSewingChannel Yes. I often see a pattern that I think I want to make a quilt with. So, I make a copy of the pattern on paper and color it with colored pencils. If I still want to try it, I then make a sample from scraps. Sample blocks can be turned into beautiful quilts or other items.
I totally agree❣️
Starching, it’s a good thing 😊 now that I know😂
It sure is a good thing❣️ Thank you for watching and supporting my channel Di❣️
I use a clothing rack to hang my fabric to dry after I have started it.
Can’t wait for the day where you will have your Martelli Matt with the nonslip ruler. You have no idea how much time that will save you
I was working with red Gingham just last week and I don’t know what that term is but you take opposite corners and stretch the fabric and sometimes you can get it to go back to look in the way it supposed to
And how come you have those EarPods in your ear?
Thanks for the rack tip.
This gingham would not cooperate at all......❣️
My regular lapel microphone has not been recording sound properly so that was all I had🤷🏻♀️
For the 'background' fabric, do you use fat quarters for the look of variety? I'd just buy yardage....fat quarters in Canada are pricey!! 4$/fat quarter (individually). But i get it using fat quarters for the lighter 'background' to be varied.
Yes I love using all different low vol prints...I love the look❣️
This was so good I watched it twice. Did you also spray starch your backing fabric?
No I don't spray starch my backing fabric typically...I really only starch the fabric I need to cut up and piece together for blocks.✅ Thank you for watching 2x Barb...I appreciate the support❤️
I Never knew I was supposed to drench it.
How about calling the quilt Bright Summer Day? It's so bright and cheery.
I love that name Fran❣️
One way I get straight of grain to save fabric is to block the fabric.
