You have no idea how your thoughtful way of showing us how to master the dreaded 1/4" seam allowance. I believe all of your viewers are enamored to your specific way of tutoring all the ways to make our quilting easier.🇨🇦
Just found your site. I am new at sewing. I have been watching many videos. You are a wonderful teacher, one of the best I have seen. Keep up the good work. From a retired teacher!
My late auntie was a tailor, as were her parents, and one thing my mom & I picked up from them is that they were very selective about what measuring tools they introduced to their workspace and each single one of them needed to be tested for consistency with the others. They had one 'benchmark' measuring tape for reference. It has not occurred to me to test my sewing machine plate. Thank you for this video. All the best!
Thank you. I’ll save this video. I haven’t started quilting yet. I order my layer cakes and thread. Should be coming in this week. But I had no idea to measure my machine for 1/4 seam the way you should use I do have that magnet but never measured to make sue. I’m so glad I watched this video before I started quilting my first ever. Thank you
I cannot wait to continue my little beginner quilt tomorrow by checking my quarter inch seam allowance. I will definitely be using the 1/4 inch line on my ruler. I think I may have a lot seam picking to do on the pieces I’ve already sewn together. This has been an excellent instruction. Thank you
Me too. I am a new quilter. By far you have the best videos. You instructions are crystal clear, step by step..that is how I learn best. I am so happy that I found you!
Totally appreciate your taking the time at a very patient-rate. I will definite re-attempt this…even after 40+ years of ma chine piecing! Thanks sew much! 🎉
I have never been accurate on anything but 5/8, cause i made my clothes for so many yrs. Finalky got a 1/4❤❤" ❤foot, havrnt tried it yet. I just ordered that 1/4 tape that goes on my machine. Lets pray that works for these 78 yr old eyes!
Just found your video and I want to thank you for explaining the quarter inch seams. I'm new to quilting and this was so helpful. Your explanations were clear and understandable. I also appreciated the use of different tools. I will be binge watching your videos for more helpful tips.
Thank you for a vey well explained and thorough demonstration. Your camera views are excellent. Your voice is perfect for the verbal explanation and you know how to zoom in with camera for details that need to be seen. WELL DONE!!!
You're a great teacher! Can't wait to see more videos!! My dad taught me the importance of 1/4" seam before he passed and I poopoohed it. I wish I had paid a bit more attention. You've inspired me to perfect the 1/4" seam. 😊
I am so glad I found you and your site. I've never measured my blocks before like you instructed. Having your information I feel more confident in my sewing. I am so happy and thankful to have found your site. Please keep the information coming.
Your videos came across my youtube feed and sadly i almost scrolled past them and something told me to watch and im soooo glad i did! I just subscribed to your channel after watching a few of your videos . I cant seem to sew a quarter inch seem to save my life or bind a quilt very well and your videos have been amazing. You instructions are clear and understandable and make it possible for me to keep trying! Thank you so very much. Your an excellent teacher. Blessings from Texas.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so very much for this video! 😍 I feel like I now have a PERSONAL QUILTING INSTRUCTOR!! Bless you and your dedication to instructing the masses!
If you have a Pfaff you can also get a 1/4 seam foot. The foot has small bar on the side that guides the fabric like similar to the way the magnetic seam guide works.
I just found your channel and I am so amazed! After watching one video I hit the subscribe button! Not only are you great at explaining but I love that you zoom in so we can really SEE what you are saying. Love it!!❤️ keep sharing.
Great video. The information and screen shots demonstrate the information quite well. I have been sewing for most of my life and quilting about half. This is the best tutorial I have seen with products to assist quilters with quarter inch and scant quarter inch seams.
Thank you for a great tutorial. I have the stripe tape and the metal magnet but did not know how to use them correctly, so now I feel confident about the 1/4" seam.
cleared up a lot of issues for me, I struggle with the quarter inch seam. I am a visual learner and this video helped me a lot. thank you from the bottom of my well used seam ripper.
I absolutely love ❤❤❤ your teaching! I am sooo new to this quilting and sewing and you are making it easier for me to learn the simple tricks to making a nice heirlooms! Thank you!😊
Thank you for making this video. Although I’ve been sewing on the same machine for a long time, I recently received a very old Bernina, which did not have a quarter inch foot. Your video really helped me zero in on where my needle and my presser foot need to be. Thank you so much for making the video.
You are very welcome! And you make a great point, every machine is different and you have to set yourself up for success! Sounds like you are on your way! Enjoy your "new" Bernina!
I am a beginner Quilter and I totally loved your video. I did not realize how important it was to make sure all the blocks matched and why. I definitely will look for you other video. It was a pleasure listening to your voice.
Thank you, this morning I did several things to try and get the 1/4 in seam. You are right it can be a struggle. Next time I will try your idea's. I already feel more confident. Thanks so much.
I finally know how measure exactly the 1/4 seam and blocks. I was never sure with a ruler if the marks went exactly on the seam line or on the fabric edge, or just off. Now I KNOW to use the seams and fabric edge in your measurement.
There's a needle gauge that has holes in it to set the perfect seam you need for a project from 1/8" to 1.5". One is called "Ideal needle gauge", and even has a scant 1/4", the other is by Dritz and I'm sure there is more. There's a hole in the template plastic that you can put your unthreaded needle into and then mark the edge however you prefer. Makes lining up the proper edge super simple. I lay about 6-7 layers of painters tape cut off a 1" roll. When it doesn't stick great anymore I just score the corner with a pin, remove the bottom piece of tape and it's brand new again. When I'm not using it, I stick it to my machine someplace. Never leaves a residue and is always handy. I've even used a fine marker so I know where to put the painters tape or to use without the painters tape, depending on the job. The marker comes off with rubbing alcohol. Works for me
I have been quilting for YEARS, as I am 82. Quilting for near 45 years. And that infimest(sp.) 1/4 is still a challenge at times. And I have bought alkinds of gizmos. That OLD saying to finish is better than not. Just sew and enjoy. Miss Gloria, from Bullard,Tx. There really isn’t a quilt police squad. ✝️🤠🤎👍🥰🧵
NEW to this channel👍🏽🤗I’m not a quilter YET😊 however this was extremely helpful for sewing I have the magnet and I haven’t been confident in using it not for sure I will be THANKS

If you have a Pfaff you can also get a 1/4 seam foot. The foot has small bar on the side that guides the fabric like similar to the way the magnetic seam guide works.
Yes! Those are great but still good to make sure they are accurate, do a little test and you know for sure!
Wonderful explanation on how to get quarter inch seams. Very thorough indeed. Thank you for the different tips given.
