Hi Susan! I enjoy your videos so much! You are such a good teacher. Thank you!
Hello my lovely friend I wish you were here so we could stitch face to face! Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment
Susan, This is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much. It brought back memories of me sitting on a stool next to my grandmother as she sewed on her machine. She had me hand stitching four patch blocks. It kept me in her sight and out of mischief. I had no idea of consistent seam allowances. What a mess. At the time, I thought they were great. Happy stitching. Best, K
Thank you for watching!!!!!! I hope you have a few of your first patchwork blocks! Such wonderful memories and what a fantastic grandmother 😀
Hi Susan. More please! ❤
Susan I can see where this would be so calming and once you get into a rhythm it would go quickly. Thank you for sharing your method. When I thought why the backstitch you explained . Such a great tutorial.
Oh thank you for watching. It is another form of stitching that brings me so much peace and is such a wonderful way to experience the joy of fabric!!!
I like this video, even though I don’t quilt any more. Now I can share this with my friends that do
Thank you for watching!!!!
Thank you Susan for such a detailed video. I've been thinking of doing some handpiecing again so you've inspired me! I would love more handpiecing tutorials. Maybe a handpiecing quilt along on a small project? Sounds fun to me!
So glad you could join me today! I like your idea!!!!
Susan, this was so great and helpful! I am so glad you made this tutorial. I am so much better with my hands than with a sewing machine. As a matter of fact, I have quilts I have never started because machine piecing intimidates me so much! Maybe now I can make them with my hands! Thank you!
That is wonderful I’m so glad to be able to help you get your projects underway. I love Stitching with my hands as well but I have learned to be friends with my machine! Please let me know about your progress
@@susanstandleystitchintime I will! I just sent you an IG message with a question. I hope you don’t mind. Thanks again!
Thanks Susan
Thank you Susan!
Thank you, Susan for inspiring me to go back and do hand piecing that I learned over 40 years ago. Back then I drew my stitching line with a little quilters see thru ruler and pencil. The stitching was exactly the same except in the middle for the seams. Did that slightly different. But the accuracy is so much better with hand piecing, that I never quite achieved with machine piecing. I hope you do more tutorials on hand piecing to finishing a little quilt. Thank you, again, for sharing your knowledge on this wonderful journey of quilting by hand. Blessings to you!
Thank you Barb I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I’m so glad that it reminded you of an older earlier project! There are so many ways to tackle this handpiece seen but I do find it very relaxing and I’m so glad you shared that with me. I do hope to do some more tutorials as I think Crosstitch is would find this really fun and a nice option to add to their way to work skills.
I have been hand piecing for many years. Thank you for bringing this handwork back. Really enjoy your channel. 🧵🪡
Glad you enjoy it!
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for this resource, love it.
Thank you Jasmine. I hope you have fun trying it out!
I really enjoyed your video on hand stitching. I finally understood the center as you explained joining the pieces. Very good. I’ll be looking forward to another quilting video. Thank you for all of your time and effort.
I am so glad and I wish you success if you try it!
As you know, I’ve done a bit of hand piecing myself..but this old dog learned some new tricks today. Thank you 🥰
Yeah!!!!! I hope that are helpful
❤❤❤thank you, I did not know this technique. Very interesting, I will checked these stamps!
I think you will enjoy the technique if you like to handpiece!
Susan,
Thank you so much for sharing your technique on hand piecing a four patch block! I found it very helpful and interesting, very different from machine piecing for sure! It does seem relaxing and portable ☺️, which is something I am always looking for when away from my magnifying light !!
I would love for you to continue with more of these videos , using different shaped pieces ,so we can continue to learn hand piecing techniques. Thank you for your time and sharing your expertise ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
very nice
Wow thank you Susan for sharing your hard earned stitching knowledge with us! My favorite step in making quilts is hand sewing the binding on but I never thought about hand piecing the quilt. You have inspired me again!
Fantastic!!!!!! If you like hand work it is a wonderful experience. I am so happy you were inspired!
You did it again! Great tutorial. Thanks so much. Everything is so clear and concise. Love watching you
Thank you and I wish you the best success if you attempt this!
Hi Susan: I enjoyed your tutorial. I like handpiecing and attended a retreat some years back. Are you familiar with Cindy Blackberg? (She is now retired and lives in TN). She had sets of stamps to make all kinds of blocks. Hers were rubber with a wooden hand hold. The sets had a pattern with them, and you could mix them to make additional quilt blocks. We used different fabric stamps and other things, but the piecing is the same. We used baby wipes to clean our stamps. I use Jeana's Foxglove needles for everything but I haven't seen the gold ones. Are they new? I cannot use a thimble for applique or handpiecing. I've tried every kind of thimble, cheap and expensive. Teachers told me to wear it during the day and pretty soon I wouldn't even notice I had it on. I couldn't stand it. I do fine without it. You are a lady of many talents!
My Mom used cardboard cereal boxes to make her templates. Cut everything out by hand and used a pencil for marking fabric. Her quilts were beautiful and our family loved receiving them as gifts. We've come a long way, haven't we?
Louverna
Hi Louverna. I have some of Cindy Blackbergs stamps and sure wish I had more! She retired before I could collect them all!!! They are lovely and you are fortunate to have them! I understand about the thimble. They bother me too but I just push past it and use one anyway. 🥹. I love your story about the quilts made by your grandmother!!! I hope you write it down. It’s a wonderful memory. Thank you for watching and commenting!!!!
Excellent tutorial, Susan! It was so easy to follow, and your explanations made it easy to understand what to do and why the need to do it that specific way. I hope you do many more tutorials on hand stitching. Many thanks!
Thank you so much !!!! I am glad it was clear and easy to follow !
Although I was stitching away on Mary Florence Dickinson while I watched this, you really got me excited about pulling out some hand piecing projects that need completed. I used to love hand piecing. It is very soothing and so satisfying because it is so accurate. I think if makes you feel closer to the fabric too - sounds a little weird, but true. And thanks so much for the links to the pins an needles. Happy Stitching
Thank you Michele! I love the way you described this method as making you closer to the fabric!!!! It’s so true. I’m glad it encouraged you to pull out your project. 😍🥰
Susan, a wonderful tutorial. One question, I know our ancestors didn’t have a stamp tool to make a stitching line, did they just eye ball there stitching line? This is definitely something I would like to try but probably on a smaller project. Thank you very much for your time for theses tutorials.
Thank you for your question. It is fantastic !!!!! I definitely will be covering this in future videos. The answer is Not something I can address in this comment box quickly But I will definitely Spend plenty of time on it in future episodes!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation of how to hand piece. I’ve watched a few videos on hand piecing and your method is very inspiring. I’ve been wanting to do a “Dear Jane” quilt for a LONG time and have tried many times without success- I’m just not accurate enough - but I’m wondering if hand piecing the Dear Jane blocks would make for better accuracy? Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks again, Susan for another great tutorial. ❤ 🤗
Hi Peg …thanks for your lovely comment. I think hand-piecing Dear Jane would be fabulous.!!!! I put her together many years ago and used different methods all through the process. I did find appliqué to be very helpful on so many of the blocks as well. Piecing those tiny shapes by hand is a wonderful option. There are a few that could be machine pieced And several are fantastic for foundation paper piercing. So I think a variety of skill sets is going to help you get through the project. It’s one of those things you just have to start and work your way through. Please let me know if you need any other help and I hope you have the best success putting that gorgeous quilt together
Oh, Susan! I would have NEVER thought to use multiple stitching methods single a quilt. My mind just never went down that road! 🤦♀️ Thank you so much for pointing that out.
Love this! Thank you❤
Great comprehensive tutorial! Loved it. Do you use the shorter KKB pens or the regular?
I use the shorter. They are linked in the description box!
That was awesome Susan!!!
Question… could I take machine pieced half square triangles and hand piece them in a row? Could I just draw a quarter inch seam allowance on each before hand sewing it together?
That just might work. You don’t want to stitch the seam allowance down at all. It really depends on the accuracy of your cutting. You might want to make a half square triangle the exact size that you want your pieces to finish and then trace that onto your half square triangle. That will become your stitching line. I plan to do some more tutorials in the future to deal with some of these type of questions. We can chat if that doesn’t make sense.
@@susanstandleystitchintime Thanks so very much Susan!!! Im trying to figure out quilting in general and REALLY want to do a mini....Ive gotton lots of tips and tricks.....but my machine is still eating the squares and my quarter inch seam is not accurate- I think because as it feeds through it pulls it over. I assume the feed dogs pulls it...frustrating!
Thank you for the tutorial - where do I purchase the needles pins thimble and thread you mentioned u use
All the materials are linked below in the description box!
@@susanstandleystitchintime thank you
