I have just started quilting at 56 and Melanie's tutorials have been extremely helpful. She was an amazing teacher. I made my very first quilt by watching her quilting series. I was saddened to learn she has passed. I am thankful that her family has kept her channel up. She gave me the confidence to continue quilting. The documentary of her life was very moving and inspiring. May she rest in peace. Prayers and Love to her family.
She was so beautiful,sweet and talented. RUclips lost an angel. I watched the documentary her husband made about her life, it brought me to tears . We should keep watching her tutorials to keep her alive in our hearts.
I love Melanie, her sweet, calm, gentle detailed way of teaching beginners is hard to find. I have learned so much from her & will keep on watching her videos. In honor of her I made my sewing room just like hers, she’s so right-it has good flow..I pray for her babies & beloved hubby. His movie made with Melanie was touching beyond words..I cried a bucket full! She was so strong and a maker to the end making that beautiful baby blanket. That must have been so hard for Robert to make this movie-I hope it helped his hurting heart. He seemed to be such a caring loving husband.
25 years ago I told my mom I wanted a quilt like the one she made when I was a teenager. We went and picked out the fabric and cut all the squares. I didn’t have a sewing machine, so she showed me how to hand sew them. I almost got them all done, but my hand got sore and put those squares away, until this year, my mom passed away. I got a sewing machine and reinforced the stitches and watched Melanie’s videos to help with the rest. I finished my full size quilt today. ❤️ I hope they get to meet each other up there.
I'm almost 59 & after 30 years of saying I'm going to quilt I finally am. Love all your tutorials I think they are just the best. What I'm loving about quilting is all the gadgets there are now, rotary cutters, rotating cutting mats, clips, etc. Plus after you use all the gadgets you get a beautiful quilt!
Love your videos! Made 6 pouches from your “Easy Pencil Pouch” video for Valentine’s Day gifts for nieces! They loved them. Thank you for how clear your tutorials are!
i just recently retired. i have always wanted to learn how to quilt properly for family and friends. you make it so easy, i need uour help and these videos are so helpful, the designs of all the squares are just fascinating to me. Again I am new to all of this and I need you
Hi. After watching your first video for beginner quilt, I decided to make one. To my surprise, the quilt I made for the very first time turned out beautifully then I expected. This videos is very helpful and I learned a lot during the process. Please keep more videos coming as I love sewing, quilting and cross stitching. I wish I can post picture of my first quilt after learning from you. 🙂 Thank you so much.
Thanks for the great tutorials! I am attempting to learn quilting. I have a couple of books and have watched some other RUclips quilting videos, they are good but your series are easily the best to comprehend and see how to really cut, piece, etc. I'm a dude, btw. my grandma and mother-in-law quilted, but both have passed. So, I'm attempting to learn to carry on a family tradition. I want to make my daughter a quilt to give her when she leaves for college this summer. :)
Just found your channel after I have started a new sewing hobby. You make everything seem so easy and well explained. Can't wait to attempt a patchwork throw for my bedroom. Xx
Ive been watching your videos while ironing some scrap fabrics i found at a recycling center, hoping to start my first scrap quilt. Thanks for all the info, it makes quilting much more approachable!
Oh my gosh I love your tutorials. You make it so easy to follow just like Jenny from MSQC.... I can not wait to see the next video! I am still very new to quilting I made 3 throw size quilts ( my first ever ) for christmas gifts last year. They were a hit and it made so happy they liked them! I was so hard on my self to try and be perfect it was not funny my husband laughed at me and said they are going to love it.... Thank you again for sharing and making it easy to follow!
Melanie, you don't know how much you have taught me in these videos. I feel intimadated with making the half triangles. By watching you, you have made me feel much more at ease in trying to do them. You are wonderful and make it seem so easy to follow you. Thank you so much. I'm going to look up the Clover sewing items that you have shown. Again thank you.
thanks for making these videos- Im about to embark upon making my first ever half triangle quilt (my first ever quilt actually!) and I'm keen to do a good job so these videos are a huge help!
Absolutely loving this series Melanie. So interesting and super helpful. I am even starting to think I might be brave enough to attempt making a twin quilt for my son's bed!!! Thanks so much for all the help! P.s. Keep up the periscopes...they are so much fun!
Thank you so much for these helpful videos. You explained everything so clearly. Your work is amazing and beautiful. Can't wait to learn more from you!
I've been quilting with Linus Project for several years. I'm happy to learn from you. You enthusiasm is great and I'm eager to learn from you, especially your FMQing skills. Thanks so much!
Hello!! I love all this! And I really want to learn. I just think I am not good with sewing. But you are a great teacher. I will keep watching your videos to start quilting. ❤️
Your videos are amazing as always. Super informational and inspirational. I envy you because of the time you have to create all these amazing things. Keep up the great work.
Omg , M your vids rock! So easy to follow and step by step instructions are spot on! Please keep doing your posts! Looking forward to many more lessons 🤗
Heck yes that stuff since I’m just starting out. Love these video. I have learned a lot. And it been fun. Since diagnosed with leukemia keeps my mind occupied.
Good morning might I make a suggestion. If you are going to use steam use non flaking startch. It keeps the material more stable and less likely to "shift". This will help to keep the blocks square, less cutting for you. Also setting the seams helps set the threads and then you can finger press your seams and they will stay square. Now if you really feel as though you need to iron your squares you can use a tailor's iron. It is so tiny that it only irons the seams and not the surrounding material. Hopes this helps.
I know I missed the give away but I still would like to join the conversation. I myself find your video very easy to follow. I am new to quilting and am "gathering materials" to make my first quilt. I'm very appreciative of your effort to show us the way that quilts are made. Without you I do not believe I could be so effective while quilting. I feel as though I will be a natural. Thanks!
I just finished my top piece of my first quilt.... God, I wish I found this video first..... I totally did it the hard and disorganized way. 🙄🙄🙄 On another note you taught me a lot thank you!
Melanie, I️ love your videos! I️ have a basic question: I’m working on a toss pillow cover with a quilt top. Except that it won’t have the batting and back. Basically, one side of the pillow will have the pieces sewn together like a quilt, and the back will be one coordinating fabric. My question is, if there’s no batting, how do I️ finish the edge of each square? Should I️ even finish them? Thank you for the help!
Im so glad I found your channel! I am a true beginner, I made a scrappy type sampler quilt a while ago and of course made some mistakes. So, I went looking for a good tutorial to follow along with. Im kinda bummed I just missed the giveaway, but thats not why I came here :) I just wanted to leave a comment because your teaching style is awesome and video plays well with no fluff, thanks for that! Wish me luck!
LOVE THE VIDEOS. I'M STARTING QUILTING DO TO BEING RETIRED AND LOVING TO BE ON THE DOING. HOPE TO DO A QUILT FOR MY BED. I LOVE COLORS SO I WILL SEE HOW IT GOES FOR ME. THNAKING IN ADVANCE FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS
Aug 18, 2015 piecing the quilt top part 2, making the half square triangles, I see if you would make a whole quilt with them people use the papers. I have seen on the quilt swaps. Thank you I enjoy your vidoes. I am just learning I haven't made any yet.
Melanie I am an intermediate quilter. I am perplexed now that you have mentioned the Aurifil thread! First, I can't locate it in any local quilt shop. Where is the best place to buy on-lone? I have been using Guterman Natural cotton but now confusion sets in! I have Googled to educate myself but fiding what I need. Thank you! Kim
Hi Melanie, really think you should clean your cutting mat to stop the fluff coming off onto your fabric. Or maybe buy a new mat and leave the messy one for cutting batting on only and the new good one only with fabric. Batting always makes a mess on our cutting mats. I even thought about cutting batting with scissors not my blade. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.....
I'm very new to quilting and love your tutorials. I noticed something that is different from other tutorials. What is the difference of sewing block rows into columns vs sewing in rows left to right? what are the benefits of this method? Thank you for your tutorials ♡
To be honest with you I haven't determined that either way is better, whatever works best for you is what you should do. If you like columns then do that if you like rows then do that!
Love this quilt, your fabric selections too. Are you sewing it on your Juki or Viking? What kind of viking machine if you don't mind answering. Thanks for the great tutorial.
This might seem like a silly question, but I'm still a beginner. Do I need to use quilting thread for piecing? Or only for the actual quilting part? If not, could I use a lesser quality cotton thread? P.S.: The "Your First Quilt" series on your channel was the first time I ever saw how to make a quilt. And that was just three months ago. I've watched this this quilting tutorial series many many times. I'm on my THIRD quilt now!!! I never knew how much fun quilting could be, and I never thought I'd ever be able to make one. You showed me that I could, in fact, do it and that I could make really cool, modern quilts. Thank you for opening the door for me to explore my capabilities.
love your videos, you are extremely talented! I am a new quilter, so new I am trying to start my first project! I have a question? what's a good size for a throw, or sofa quilt? and what size squares should I use as a first timer? thanks so much and keep up the beautiful work!
Make it whatever size you want! 50 x 80 or somewhere are there is a nice size for a throw. I would start with basic patchwork squares, anywhere from 4-8 inches would be a great way to start.
THANK YOU! I am really feeling confident to dive in and make your quilt. I am trying to find a picture of your finished quilt so I can add a cc of it to my file. Where might I find that?
Enjoyed your video,,, I'd like to suggest that if you are addressing new quilters, you might consider using a much simpler layout... I loved the quilt top, but thought it was a confusing design...especially for a new quilters... The fabrics are gorgeous,,,
Where can I find the pattern for this quilt? I bought fabric to make this quilt according to the fabric list and realized there is no pattern. Can I purchase this from you? If so, how can I get it? I have been on your blog and can't find a link anywhere to buy any patterns. I love the off-set flying geese!! Beautiful quilt and really great lessons!!
Haha I wish I could sew when my kids sleep. my 7 month old son doesn't finally go to sleep till 430am EVERY NIGHT GRRRR....hopefully I can get his hours switched soon and sew at night :)
Hi Melanie I am a new subscriber and I like to hear your feed back on the JUKI sewing machine, I am looking for a do it all kind of heavy duty sewing machine ,specially a machine that can handle several layers of denim or canvas fabric.
Love your videos I always learn something new. Very helpful and fun. However went to "My quilt box" and itis no longer available. Will it be back soon or is it moved to a new site?
Looks like they went out of business. I like Quilty Box and the Sew Sampler box from fat quarter shop if you are looking for a subscription box service ;)
I have never done a quilt. Hopefully my question makes sense. After you've done rows 1 and 2. Do you then do rows 3 and 4 and then add them to 1 and 2 or do you and row 3 to row 1 and 2? Hope that makes sense. Thank you
Hi - I am new to quilting. Can you explain if there is a problem with stitches unravelling when you cut seams when squaring off and disassembling the chain sewn patches ?
Liza Gennaro the layout? I will link the blog post with the full photo so that you can look at where I put everything ;) www.melaniekham.com/quilting-series-part-2-piecing-the-quilt-top/

I love your crochet videos. Could you do a tutorial on a two-toned chevron crochet blanket?
Thank you again for your amazing videos! I can" wait to get started on this amazing quilt.
Use ionized water also called baby's water to avoid rust in your iron. It's in the same grocery aisle as regular water.
Thanks for the great tutorials love the clover goodies we dont always get it here in South Africa
Love this quilt, your fabric selections too. Are you sewing it on your Juki or Viking? What kind of viking machine if you don't mind answering. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Love your channel
wow Loved your video, very upbeat, quilting ideas and will be following you for more video's
Would you normally do all the rows and columns at once or would you do the sections like you showed and then piece them together?
This was awesome, thank you!

Hi Melanie I am a new subscriber and I like to hear your feed back on the JUKI sewing machine, I am looking for a do it all kind of heavy duty sewing machine ,specially a machine that can handle several layers of denim or canvas fabric.
I need to know how to sew my half square triangles as a sawborder around my quilt
and keep the tip.
Love your videos I always learn something new. Very helpful and fun. However went to "My quilt box" and itis no longer available. Will it be back soon or is it moved to a new site?
Looks like they went out of business. I like Quilty Box and the Sew Sampler box from fat quarter shop if you are looking for a subscription box service ;)

ItsMeKryssD yep that makes sense... it doesn't really matter, however you can keep it organized is fine!
Love your videos....
Thanks for your videos, what sewing machine do you recommend for a beginning quilter?
What settings did you use on the machine in the first video series?
Hi - I am new to quilting. Can you explain if there is a problem with stitches unravelling when you cut seams when squaring off and disassembling the chain sewn patches ?
So when working with a pattern that has triangles in it..the squares have to be 1/2" bigger to get the same size as the other squares?
What’s the best sewing machine to use for first time???
Greatly missed x
Hi I over watching you. Please can you tell me what do you put under the patchwork top. Thanks Tracey from Chorley Lancashire UK
it is so cool！
I need to learn sewing machine. I like very much to see your creations .
Hi melanie i love that quilt!!! Hope to win that clover give away. Xo
Hi Melanie, your quilt is gorgeous. Can you tell me what the layout is for this quilt? Did I miss it in one of the videos? Thanks much.
Liza Gennaro the layout? I will link the blog post with the full photo so that you can look at where I put everything ;) www.melaniekham.com/quilting-series-part-2-piecing-the-quilt-top/
Thanks much!
Do you use the same thread for piecing and quilting? For a beginner I'm unsure.. Could you tell me what you use?
Where are the flying geese? This does not look like the right quilt. Now I am confused. Did I miss something? Did you change patterns?
the half square triangles make up a "flying geese" type of shape.
could you put the 2 blocks for triangles together and sew all 4 sides then cut from corner to corner, then open each would this work?
What sewing machine do you advise a beginner to get that is not that expensive?
