    I used to use the Purple Thang until I discovered sharp-nosed angle-tipped tweezers. They can be used as tweezers, a stiletto, an awl, thread cutter, point turner with thick fabric, to pull cord or ribbon through casings, and the sharp nose easily fits under the presser foot too so you can continue to grip fabric when getting really close to the needle (which is sometimes needed).
    Instead of using plastic totes or baskets for kitting projects, I used some favorite fabrics to make collapsible bins.

    Thank you for sharing! I am a newbie to the quilt world and need all the tips I can find😄. I do make handbags and find that using hair clips the cheap metal ones (alligator mouth look) that ladies used to use for pin curls. They are easy and do not damage your fab and as you are sewing they pop off without pulling your fab when removing.

    Just found your video, I got away from quilting nearly 20 yrs first time then about 10 years been sewing up a storm! Am amazed at all the new tools, love the clips and thang, I was so happy I bought a ton of rulers , squares , circle, turntable many years ago ! I’ve a lot everyone bought on 40 or 50% sale was in financial better times , prices are so high now ! But worth it!
    My nightmare has been markers ! I’ve bought a lot ! Ones on tv didn’t work for me ! Anyway every one I’m sure has their favorite I usually end up using the good old original purple ! I am just going to try precuts I’ve used jelly rolls a lot in past !
    But not many blocks precut , fat quarters I collected ! I agree about boxes, I always use a container for what I need for each project ! Thread? I’ve a lot of cones for my serger , but I have used coats and Clark’s cotton white /black thread forever! But first time I ordered cones !
    My best tip is shop around, look for sale items, use Amazon , I’m still relearning ! Im making a TShirt quilt for grandson double sided ! 32 blocks ! Have done a photograph block, but it’s been the hardest quilt I’ve done so far ! Never again !
    I didn’t realize most people do 9 or 12 blocks ! Anyway I’m starting to quilt blocks before joining them …. On tv everyone uses 15 inch block, the tshirts I got barely made 12 1/2 inch and eventually they might all be trimmed to 11 1/2 Lol
    It’s been a hard one for me ! Best thing is to have fun !! Im trying to get out of bad mood I’ve had for past week working on it LOL …I dearly love my grandson ! I have other s I love as much but they didn’t save shirts ! Thank God ! so be a regular quilt for them I have 8 grandkids 4 more to do quilt for !.
    I will try out the Juki quilting machine I bought! I’ve always used the long arm quilter but being on fixed income, I would love to be able to do my own … sorry for the book!

My aunt, and godmother, has just gone into assisted living, and her children have given me her enormous stash of fabric, so I now have all kinds of fresh inspiration.

    I would add Quilt Cut's Starter kit of rulers... They are great rulers: High quality, non slip and easy to read. Their starter kit is amazing at less than $40. I bought one of their rulers to check it out, and I was very impressed (and I have very nice rulers) and find myself reaching for it often. It has the best 1/8th marks on it.
    I also like Havel's UltraPro seam ripper and highly recommend. It has a scythe-like replaceable blade so you always have a sharp blade. It is so thin and flexible the smallest of stitches can be removed. Another essential tool is a pair of precision eagle beak tweezers. It will help with machine threading (forget the clumsy serger offsets), handling fabric and seam ripping: Tip: cut every 5-8 threads on one side with Havel and take your eagle beak tweezers to grab the thread and remove.
    I love fat quarter bundles and jelly rolls (I look for closeouts on beautiful ones). Would never buy precut background as it is not a good value.

    I have ordered several of the items mentioned in this video. I agree wholeheartedly with project boxes. Once I got a bunch, I organized my fabric and supplies. I can’t agree more that it keeps the sewing room neater, and makes cleanup at the end of the session so much more efficient. I suggest getting a method of labeling the project boxes that helps you locate necessities when working on projects. I find that I only have one project out at a time when using this organization method.

    Instead of a spool stand, I use a binder cllip on the spool holder on top of the machine. Usually, the cone will stand on the sewing table behind the machine and the thread easily goes through the handles of the clip. It works perfectly and if money is tight (it is) a binder clip works well an doesn't cost as much as the stand.

      When I first started quilting, I was excited to put pre-cuts together, but learned that they all don't go straight together, because of the seam allowances. So to go with a full 10" layer cake square, a 5" charm square, needs to be cut at 5 1/2", and the 2 1/2" needs to be 3", or you need to trim the larger ones down. I still like the idea of two 2 1/2" square 4-patches (finishes at 4 1/2"), in a 4-patch with 2× 5" squares (they finish at 9 1/2"), alternated with the 10" squares, but the waste gets to me. Have fun with them all, I do.

    I bought expensive martelli cutters and they were great, until my hands began to misalign from old age arthritis. Eventually they made my hands hurt trying to grip, hold, extend an index finger, and cut. Finally, I was doing acrobatics to get into a cutting position!
    Now I have a very light, straight Westcott cutter ($8 at walmart) and, btw, those blades last for ages & cut easily.
    So you are right. Try several types and don't be surprised if you need a different type along the way.

    Hi, great video! I just bought my first sewing machine this week to start. Silly question. Can you use the aurifil 1,000 ish yard thread on the on the machine? Or do you need a special piece for this? I have the 500 yard coats but thinking I should try this instead. Didn’t know if I could put it on the same spool holder.

    • @ISeeStarsQuilting
      @ISeeStarsQuilting  2 года назад +1

      There is a thread stand that you can buy for less than $15 that will hold the larger threads! I use one all the time next to my machine and skip the little holder on the top of the machine.

    Hi! I'd like to know about the small iron you use. The one that fits in the palm of your hand. The big clunky ones I have are just too heavy. I think I found it but would like to know which one you use. Looks perfect for my arthritic hands. Second, about jelly rolls. I just bought my first ones. When I started quilting they were non-existent. Looking forward to seeing how they work. I always think a bigger piece of fabric is better bcz I may want to use the leftovers on another quilt. Fabric patterns change so much I am afraid I'll never find it again. Third I'd like to know which ironing mat/ board you use. I have 3 different kinds. The new wool mats are nice but are they better than just a small table top board? My space is small. Quilting is expensive and I'd rather buy fabric. Thank you so much. You are very helpful. I taught myself to quilt a long time ago and you are so right. Everyone needs to make their own mistakes and learn from them. Such is life🤷 Happy quilting 🧵

    What’s your opinion poly vs 100 cotton thread, for me I worry the cotton thread just makes too much dust in my machine, a pfaff I cannot do any self maintenance on except but dust out my bobbin carriage etc… but it’s not suggested to ever use air to blow out the inside crevices in the machine itself and any areas imho …feel would be beneficial to blow out. out. My quilt shop where I purchased my machine charges $200 a yr to clean and service it. Poly being less dusty I’m considering switching to. What do you think?

    • @ISeeStarsQuilting
      @ISeeStarsQuilting  2 года назад

      I think a mix is a good solution to your situation. maybe alike an 80/20 mix? (80 cotton/20 poly) you'd get the benefits of cotton with the cleanliness of poly. Just be careful not to go to the cheap cheap thread route because they have a wax coating that feels nice and doesn't shed but will add buildup to your machine and I've seen it ruin a perfectly good machine before! test out a white spool or 2 and see what you think! try it out.

      You can make your own pre-cuts with your project scraps, or cut a jelly roll strip off the end of each fabric you buy, or cut 13" (×2fat 16ths)/ 20", to get the same area as a fq, (you can cut ×2 fqs from 20" ×wof, and swap or share with a quilty friend, to get more variety) while you have it out. Fat quarters can make 2 half jelly roll strips, a 10" square, 2 or more charm squares and a bunch of 2 1/2" squares, easily. You can cut up your scraps, leftover fqs or ones you don't like much. You can leave 10" squares together, and re-cut them down to 5" or 2 1/2" later. Pre-cut packs have 42 pieces, you can wait until you have enough cut, or make things that don't use a whole pack. The possibilities are endless. All the best.
