I am so thrilled to have found your videos. I've been a quilter for many years, taking a break here and there. Your videos will take my quilting experience to the next level. I was looking for instructions for setting squares, triangles, and corners for a quilt I'm currently working on. I started on Great Basics 5. After I finish I will review your videos from the start. Thank you Janet from Murrieta Ca.
Hi from greater Nashville area. Driven to finish quilt pieces left from my Great Grandmother. Threaded her needle when I was a child. Have made four quilts on my Singer but gave myself a Brother machine for retirement. Plenty of time to practice. This lesson was just what I needed today. Thanks.
Oh, how I wish this video was around when I started quilting. Could have saved a lot of frustration, seam ripping 😮 and learning the hard way. I like nest and precise sewing and really enjoy your teaching style. Planning to binge watch every video in this series! --With appreciation from Las Vegas.
Your teaching is awesome... so glad I found you! And I love your comments about measuring and seeing differences in measurements! Makes me feel more positive about my quilting attempts!!
I am so pleased with this tutorial. I am making a Cinderella panel by Thomas Kincaid. I like to make them as hanging quilts. I am self taught through RUclips tutorials. This tutorial helped me so much with putting the corner stones in the border. Now I am eager to go back and look at all of your tutorials. Thank you and yes you are a wonderful teacher! Robbin from Fairmont, NC
Thank you so much for doing a detailed step by step video. Other 10 minute videos on you tube leave you confused, and they say do the quilt any way you want. I like that you teach us to quilt with the traditional methods that really work, not make up as you go along. Great Video!!!
I am pretty much “self taught”.. if you want to call it that...by RUclips and any other videos I can find. I never waste my time when I watch your videos. Thank you for caring about the quilting community and know you have so much to offer. Thank you!
I just found your channel this morning. I love piecing my quilts but always put off adding the borders. I really enjoyed this episode and will use your method on trimming and adding my borders. I’m now a subscriber from the beautiful state of Maryland. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 😊
I just used your technique of going point to point on the edge of my churn dash quilt top I am making and it worked great - so glad you made a point of using a 12" ruler as I could see how you could easily be tempted to do a longer distance. Saw your video just in time as I wasn't sure how to attack it and this worked out great - thanks so much - your videos are so very helpful!!
As an ever learning individual, your explanation and technique has been a God send! This technique will alleviate the "wavy" edges. Preparation is key and this technique is the best I've seen! Thank you so very much! I've repurposes my walking weights to help me with holding fabric and/or rulers.
Just in time. Will soon be sewing in the triangles on a queen size on point quilt, and then on to the borders. People like you are so generous with your knowledge to "lone" newbies like me. Thank you.
I just love your channel! I always learn something new! I am a lone quilter so the online community is my lifeline. I can’t stress enough how informative your channel has been! Thank you sew much for sharing!
@@SuperBeccajean it’s a great channel! Nancy is so fun and informative. These types of channels are a lifeline for us lone quilters! I’ve since managed to rope a friend into quilting now and it’s been fun watching her blossom. She’s really taking off! I hope you are able to find some local group of like minded folks that can challenge and inspire you!
I'm so glad I found you when I did. I've power watched many of your videos and refer back to some when needed. I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and no one in my family has quilted since my great grandmother that past away when I was a child. So everything I'm learning is from the ladies and gentlemen of RUclips. I'm working on my very first quilt and having to break it down into quilting the center first then adding the borders. I'm using my domestic Brother and the quilt will end up being a queen. Thank you very much for doing the videos. They are so helpful. 😊
@@QuiltingWithNancy Yes. I've missed a few videos but will be watching them later today. I've been spending time with my 84 year old mother the last few weeks. She is moving in with my daughter and son in law.soon.
Thank you!! I think you are the only one to describe and show to ease the borders. I’m not sure you explained why. I guess I’ll go watch again. I was told it was important. When long arm quilter refused to do quilts that were not eased to the same dimension. She said she could not do quality work otherwise.
Hi - if you do the measuring like I do in the video and pin, pin, pin and pin the border on, it will be eased and then your borders will be the same on either side :)
As a longarm quilter, borders are probably the one thing I see (even seasoned) customers struggle with. Now I have a great video to point them towards! Thank you so much for producing these tutorials. You’re a wonderful teacher!! Lori (from Montana)
Always watch your great tutorials. Best wishes to you and all your family from Helen in Australia 🇦🇺 Stay safe and thanks again for all your tips. 🥰🥰💐💐🇦🇺🇦🇺
I am an absolute newbie trying to learn to quilt on my own. These videos are like having a teacher right with me. I tried just using a book but the videos are a lifeline for me. I am watching from Atlanta, Georgia.
Enjoying this series from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I love the pace and the precision. The techniques are wonderful. As a beginner, I would love to establish good habits. Thanks.
In my 70s I decided to try quilting. When I found your channel I was ecstatic. I'm having so much fun that I've begun to learn ruler quilting as well. You are an excellent instructor. You make sense. Thanks.
I’m sharing this vid with a dear friend who is trying to improve her piecing and quilting. She looks to me often for instruction. So thank you! Thank you!!
I am from nearby Valley Forge, PA. I have learned so much from your programming. Today's episode of using the smaller ruler to cut 1/4" away from the points of the edges makes perfect sense. I cannot tell you how many cut off points I've tolerated. Done is better than perfect was once my idea too. But now I can do better.
Hi Nancy! I’m loving this version for teaching beginners to make such a cute quilt! I have two friends who are interested in learning, one who knows how to use her machine, but doesn’t have any quilting experience, and one who doesn’t have knowledge of either. This series is perfect for them. I continue to share this series hoping to gain some new quilting friends! 🙂
Sarah, from Louisville, KY. I'm really enjoying this series! Lots of wonderful, helpful information. Thank you so much for going over the basics so well.
Nancy I am just learning to quilt via RUclips videos and yours by far have been the most straight forward and informative! You are an excellent teacher and I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you!! BTW I’m from Baxley, Georgia
Thanks Nancy! I have saved all of your Great Basics tutorials to my library. I’m a self taught quilter (from California) and I’m learning a lot that will really help me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm so impressed with your knowledge, techniques, and explanations. Everything you do makes so much sense. I continue to learn from you each episode. Thank you so much! And I love the stripes!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge I learn so much from your tutorials, you are a fabulous teacher. Kind regards to you all and please keep safe, Yvonne from Scotland. X
I've finished two complete quilts and one top. I wish I had found these tutorials earlier. I figured out a lot of things along the way, but I would have saved myself much time and difficulty if I had seen these from the beginning. However, I have learned many new things from these, as well. I really like your precise and thorough way of teaching!
Thank you so much for watching!! And you might be surprised to know i have been to Ukraine 5 times!! It has been about 5 years. I have a friend in Odessa that is in full time ministry there and i have come to help her with Vacation Bible School for the kids at her church. It is wonderful!! Большое вам спасибо за просмотр! И вы можете быть удивлены, узнав, что я был в Украине 5 раз !! Прошло около 5 лет. У меня есть подруга в Одессе, которая работает там на полную ставку, и я приехала, чтобы помочь ей с Библейской школой для детей в ее церкви. Это чудесно!!
Hi Nancy, love your tutorials! I have only been quilting for a few years now and your videos are my most saved and I share them with my fellow 'newer' quilters. Always look forward to the next installment. Your power cutting method has been a real boon as I tend toward quilt patterns with lots of cutting and pieces. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for your very informative and clear videos. I have learned all I know about quilting from such videos and yours are the best. I do have a request for a video on how to make a patchwork border, and how to prepare it for attaching to the quilt and tips on doing it. I have a patchwork border but am not sure it will fit neatly and don't know whether I should starch it or just keep it stretchy so I can make it fit. Watching someone do this would be great. Thanks again.
Hi Ragath :) Thanks for the kind works and for watching! Doing a pieced boarder is a very specific task depending on the border and the quilt center. Spray sizing it will ALWAY be a good idea through. Sometimes you might even need to add an inner border to make the quilt center the correct size.
LOVE this BASIC info. SO HELPFUL. Happy that I stumbled on to you. Could you redirect me to where I could find the video to completing quilt? Have NOT been successful in finding it. Have a friend wanting to learn quilting and a complete series would be appreciated.
Julianna Burgess We are not quite finished with the series yet. Please subscribe to my channel and bop the little bell to be notified when we post the next video. I will be doing the backing and basting next and then completing the quilt. Stay tuned. Thank you so much for your kind words!
I am not new at sewing, but fairly new at quilting. I know consistency is key, but why a scant 1/4”? Why not a 1/4”? Just found you and it is timely. Finishing an ISpy quilt and decided to put in cornerstones.
Hi :) - the "scant" is what allows the fabric to be pressed over the thread and keep the construction accurate. In garment making this tiny bit isn't an issue but in quilt piecing where many blocks with seams need to all come together to make the blocks the correct size it is necessary. Hope this helps - Nancy
I take off the extra a 1/4" past the corners of the blocks - that way the border lines up right next to the corners of the nine patch blocks - that's the look I like :) - Nancy

Thank for sharing. Great information. Someday I want to attend your retreat. Tennessee girl.

No Nancy we are 19 miles north of Manistee
I did everything wrong...ug......thanks.......waving to you from Michigan
Michigan you say....?
Yep - Beautiful Grand Rapids!
Why take off 1/4”? Why not just the dog ears ?
I take off the extra a 1/4" past the corners of the blocks - that way the border lines up right next to the corners of the nine patch blocks - that's the look I like :) - Nancy
