6 of one and half a dozen of another 😀
We flew to CA for the Holidays and I didn’t bring enough background. Now I will make a quilt like you have and make stars!! Thank you so much Miss Pat.
Pat, thank you for showing us "real life"! That's what makes you the best in my book! Much love and peace to you and yours. Merry Christmas!
Makes me feel better about my "what was I thinking" moments...lol
Pat, you look good in that green love it. ❤️
Your dorkiness makes you much more approachable and real!! That's one of the best parts of watching your videos. You make us all feel normal because, come on, dorkiness rules in the quilting world! And you were on a mushroom high thinking about that mushroom tree that's going to be in your cute corner in your dining room! 😘 Which, I didn't vote yesterday but I vote green! Mushrooms with a green background, oh my yes!
Such a workout. You are the best. Who else can work it all on a camera!! I have only done that on small projects. Longarmers have to have view of the backing and batting is just inside that perimeter. It is ALL a workout 😅.
I love the hard candy that has raspberry gel inside.
"6 of 1, half a dozen of the other" My Dad use to say that all the time! 😊
Critter quilt is lovely!
Mine too!
The critter quilt turned out beautiful. I know it will be enjoyed by many! That was a great idea to find a place for each of them.
6 of one, half a dozen of the other!
You are just the cutest!!! Watching you every day is the best part of my breakfast!! ❤
you are so sweet, Thank you!
I love this critter quilt. When you started with these quilts I wondered how in the world this was going to work and you made it not only work, but it is just an amazing quilt! The recipient is so lucky to be on the receiving end of this! So fun to just look at all of it! From a distance that binding is perfect. It does not stand out at all and lets all of the critters shine! I love it! That unicorn in the middle is perfect! You have a gift for arranging the critters so that each one gets to stand out. I also baste with 505 spray and it is the best! Thanks Pat for this video. It is so helpful to know that even someone with as much experience as you, struggles with the same things we all struggle with when trying to get a quilt based in the space that our sewing room is and not with the help of a ginormous work space. Let’s be real here! Most of us do not have enough space to spread it all out! Thank you so much for showing it for real how to do it! You are awesome!
Hi Pat, First time watching one of your videos. I didn't see any spray basting. I watched "Baste it, Baste it good!!!..." I thought that was what you were going to show us. Maybe I can find it on another video. Thank you. Happy Holidays!
Hi Pat The critter quilt is gorgeous !!! You did such a good job with the design and I loved watching it all come together!!!
I really like spray basting. I’ve found my quilts are much smoother when I use that method. And the 505 spray is the best in my opinion.
I love the quilting on the critter quilt. The party receiving that is very lucky to get it. It will bring a lot of smiles no doubt.
For smaller quilts i use three pool noodles. I use my small 2' × 5' kitchen island ( more stable than my iron - ing board.) So far, so good.
Me too
Love that Critter quilt! Such a happy thing to share, and so many contributers.
As for spray basting, I use my dining room table, since I'm way too old (81) to be crawling around on the floor. After I spray baste, I move the quilt to my cutting table and add a few basting pins around the edge and maybe a couple in the middle. I do this because I don't always get the quilting done right away and this holds everything stable until I get to it.
I use my husbands pool table with the cover on of course. But i also got myself for Christmas a couple years ago a large rectangular iron board surface that goes over my existing ironing board. You could probably get Greg to make one for you. They’re available online for a little over $125. I think.
I like your real-life style. The critter quilt is so cute. I love it. Thanks for all the videos!
Loved it when I heard you say "crappola". Bought to light our generational and regional similarities. I was born and raised in NJ about an hour away from your home in PA (except for your European adventures). Love Peeps and "goodies"( was in Germany for 3 years with the Army😆). Thanks for sharing and keeping it real. Merry Christmas to you and Greg🎄 Looking forward to more wonderful things in 2024. *The Critter quilt turned out beautiful!*
hehe.. it is fun to hear someone else say things we say. i have spent very little of my life in PA, but have been mostly on the East coast except for Europe and Missouri .. now in Virginia almost 40 yrs
I have on that very same shirt Pat has on! I must have ordered it from her link 2 years ago.❤
how fun!
Green shirt looks great on you.
When I used to do this I would put curved safety pins all along the edges as a final step just to be sure that the sandwich couldn't move or any end pieces get folded back by accident during the quilting..
I do the same... For the same reason. My sewing area isn't huge so things get moved around a lot, especially if quilting gets interrupted temporarily for a more urgent task.
I have been in the same time weird warp, had Christmas coming this Saturday. A Monday Christmas I just can't seem to stay in my mind. Merry Christmas! 😊
You look good in that color! Wear it more often!
Thank you for sharing how you baste! ❤
Hi Pat. I also live in a small home so I use the ironing board. I spray & pin after ironing the quilt back and top little by little as I move it up. When I get to the end, I trim with at least 3 inch extra around. I one time ran short on the back or batting so I make sure to have extra now so I don’t have to piece extra in later.
Great demo of basting with 505. It is my go-to method. I find pressing top and bottom after the spray basting helps eliminate ripples also. Large quilts can be a bear to manipulate, but I think I get better results with spray basting than with pins.
I agree with ironing the layers after spraying. There layers lie flatter with virtually no wrinkling or buckling.
i do press them
Busy time in the Sloan Zone! Everything is looking good. See you online tomorrow, Pat Sloan!
I sandwich my quilts on my design wall. It's much easier to get the layers smooth. Then I have some old sheets to cover my floor and sewing machine. Don't buy June Tailor spray basting, i tried it once, and it's horrible! I only use 505 now. Thanks Pat for showing us how you do it.
I've seen quilters layer & baste there quilts on the wall. For a smaller project that might be worth trying. Just a thought.
Pat, My grandmother had glass candy jars lined up on a shelf in her kitchen. When I was a kid I used to love seeing those jars filled with all those wonderful candies you're talking about. One that I really loved were these little mints that I think were called butter mints. When putting one in one's mouth they melted into this wonderful buttery/minty taste. Now that we're back living in the area where I grew up I need to see if they still sell those. So delicious! I really don't remember there being much chocolate. I wonder if it was too expensive. My mom would always buy a box of the Whitman's Sampler chocolates every Christmas. Those were such a treat.
Your critter quilt is oh so cute.
It is so encouraging to know that you are just like the rest of us. Sometimes not completely in control, all of the time, not perfect 💕❤️
I love your plant stand in front of that door...It's so cozy....
I baste my quilts on my ironing board - for small quilts and on my king size bed for bigger quilts.
My husband made me a rectangular iron board that’s awesome. Found the pattern on Pinterest. I used 2 layers of cotton batting and covered it with muslin. I need to change out the muslin, since it’s so stained from using spray starches. I have a piece of Teflon fabric to put on there. I need help from my hubby to do that. Some day we’ll get to it.
My husband made me one,too! I started with my ironing board, folded flat, on top of the dresser holding hand sewing supplies. It saved floor space. To replace it, we cut a piece of plywood the same size as😊😊 the dresser top. Then, covered it with 2 layers of thin polyester batting. We held it in place with staples. For the final layer, I used a piece of brushed denim left over from my garment sewing days for the ironing surface. It works very well. The nap helps hold the blocks in place while I'm pressing seams. Because it is a rectangle, it's easier to press quilt tops and backs. The overhang is square to the item I'm pressing. If I need to starch, I put down a pressing cloth, ie. a piece of ooold calico. It doesn't need to be muslin, it can have a pattern!!
Thanks for showing how to get different size blocks together by successive approximations!!! My husband and I use this method in many ways. Even getting to our destination with less than precise directions.
You always start my day with a smile 😊 : )
I have never used a spray baste so was looking forward to seeing how you actually did the spraying but was disappointed that you never did any in the video. That would have made the video more helpful. I do enjoy your videos so thank you for all the others.
I wonder if it would work to pin the background onto your design wall first. Then measure and cut your batting to the same size or a bit smaller. Pin that up and then spray baste the quilt top in place. If you would be worried about basting spray hitting the floor you could lay down a couple of beach towels to catch any over spray. It might be less fiddly than dealing with the ironing board. I'm fortunate to have two folding tables touching side by side so I have a fairly large space. I have clamps that I use to clamp everything in place and then I pin baste most quilts unless they are really really small. I use a couple of chopstiks that I tape in place perpendicular to where the two tables meet with painter's tape so I can feel the center. Then I fold each item in quarters to make it easy to find the center. It's brilliant and saves so much time. I got the idea from a gal on RUclips who shows how to sandwich on one small table.ruclips.net/video/jnke_KzeTI8/видео.html
lots of people do that, I just prefer this
It's whatever works. I'm a firm believer that there are no rules. @@PatSloan
Have you ever basted a quilt on your design wall?? I have heard it is easier because the fabric falls into place with gravity. I have not tried it. I love watching you do everyday stuff and talk about your thought process as you go. I get new ideas from your "real life"
Thanks...and have a merry Christmas!!
lots of people do that. it's not my thing
Thank you sharing this. I am working on a lap quilt and I will try it.
I used to pin baste from center out on my cutting table. Now I pin baste on my cutting table from upper left corner out. I works great. I make sure I have enough backing and batting and trim off the excess after I finish the pinning. I mark my upper left corners with one of my quilt pins. It's amazing how often I'd get one turned around from my machine to the table.
so many ways to accomplish the same task, happy you have a way that works for you!
Critter quilt is so lovely. Very anxious to hear where its home will be.
Thank you. Great video
The critter quilt turned out great! Love it! I also baste my quilts with spray. I think I mentioned before that sandwiching is my least favorite thing to do. Since i don't have a big table I put on my garden knee pads and do it on the floor. Only when I have a runner or smaller do I baste on my ironing board. I wish I could skip this part and get to the quilting! Oh well, a person can dream! Lol
Beautiful work Pat! Putting it together wow
ImLoventhatbyoubare so open, transparent, and REAL - ’this is real life.’ For me, rolling each piece on a pool noodle is so much easier when it comes to centering and staying relatively straight. But, I love the idea of shifting back and forth on a smaller surface. Sure beats hands and knees on the floor!
I spray the wadding (batting) with the 505 and the smooth the backing onto that in sections. Then I spray the other side of the wadding and smooth the quilt top onto the wadding, again in sections, letting the weight of it hand over the ironing board. I never spray fabric as I’ve found it can stain. I press with the iron as I go and leave for a while before stitching to allow everything to adhere.
i never spray the fabric, i am spraying the batting
Hi Pat, thanks for all of the tips on basting. The critter quilt looks very nice. Thanks for sharing
The critter quilt is beautiful. What colour thread was used for quilting- it looks good over light and dark fabric. You inspired me to finish my unfinished quilts too. Have a wonderful holiday season. Looking forward to seeing your videos in 2024.
The critter quilt is beautiful!!!
I'm dorky with you Pat.❤😂
The Critter quilt is absolutely great!! It’s finish up time at my house, as well.
You continue to amaze me with these critter quilts. They are just stunning and I don't know how you've managed to squeeze these quilts in with everything else that you do. I have decided that I like thin batting too. I have 2 quilts with thin batting, but I don't know what batting they have! I just know that I like the way they feel a little bit better than the other quilts. My husband has noticed the difference too, but I have no idea what batting is in them. I need to write it down! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for showing how to do it on an ironing board. If I can’t have access to the husbands wood shop with huge work table, I have to do it on the floor. Kills the back! Thank you thank you!
Do you have a video where you show how you spray the quilt? For example, how much to spray and how far from the fabric you spray?
I have many times I thought i did spray on this one! watch on thusday or search my videos as i have sprayed it many times prior
Critter Quilt II is beautiful 🤩. You did a magnificent job with block placement. LOL your audience could see the flamingo🦩on the socks 🧦. I'm betting many were saying, no not mushroom.....flamingo!! So fun 🎉. Thank you for the video 😊🎄
You should wear that color green more often. It looks great on you! Thanks for sharing your “real life” struggle with basting. 😘
this is how I spray baste, as well... it takes a bit of time, but all in all it works well. After it is spray basted, I run the iron over the backing to make sure it is smooth. And sometimes, the batting may not be exactly on the end... if I notice this after I start quilting, I attach the needed batting before I sew that area.
Good morning Pat and thank you for starting my day with learning something new… I love learning new techniques and products… You mentioned your ironing board being from IKEA …do you happen to know the model because I love that it is so wide… wishing you and Mr. Greg a very merry Christmas and a happy. healthy new year!🎉🥂🙋🏼♀️
I missed seeing you spray anything. thanks
i thought i did!
I love the critters quilt. That Blue bird is so cute. 👏
Basting spray makes it sew easy
You're so talented Pat in your placement of the critter blocks. The quilt is so cute.
I love the quilt, so cute, you are making a wonderful gift of color and joy to many people, not just in the gift of a 'critter quilt', but letting non-quilters of the public see the miracle that it is. I use the same batting, have doubled it once, and how heavy it turned out to be! Thank you, have a wonderful day. I'm lost in time, too, don't know what happened.
I thought our backing seams were supposed to be pressed open. It was what I was always told to do - 1/2" seam and press open.
Love 505!!!
I also use 80/20 batting. But I use JoAnns brand they carry.
The critter dot border is perfect.
I found this way of wall basting from Melanie Traylor at Southern Charm Quilts- Edition 120 December 2022. It was easy to do. I enjoy your videos!
Ok warning this is ONE OF THOSE COMMENTS 😑
I really wanted to see you “spray” the basting glue… LOL
I get the 505 basting spray all over
What I did learn is that this process is fiddley… and not just for me! Thanks for the real life demo 😅 I feel better about myself 😂
Yeah you showed all that, went to the trouble getting it all set up & moving the camera to the exact right angel, didn’t cut your microphone cable and told us you spray close and then I make a silly comment… about wanting to SEE YOU SPRAY 🙃🙃😅
i guess i thought i did spray. As you know, this is real life. i have sprayed in several other videos, use my search bar to find them
Would have been nice to see how you basted the layers.
505 is my only basting spray, no smell and no mess!
Pat, since you have a good piece of around the whole quilt, how come you don’t cut the batting just a smidgen shorter than the back so you don’t struggle so much? That’s hard when you can’t see everything…I started doing that when I ran out of backing while I was already quilting…what a hassle that was.
happy you have a way that works for you!
I have found with spray basting to baste the top and then the back. Seem to get a better result and I far less frustrated.
Oh, my! I quilt all my quilts myself so I know the struggle you went through all too well! I'm fairly new to quilting so I'm not as quick at you at recognizing where I need to make adjustments, but I was having, like, PTSD, watching you! 😆
I was very disappointed that after the discussion about spray basting, Pat didn’t show the actual process. I’ve not seen it before and wanted to learn how.
You can wash your wool pressing mat. But it is advised not to put it in the washing machine as wool retains moisture and the vigorous spinning motion by your washer and dryer can distort the shape and form. Also drying time will take longer when the mat is soaked.
If you decide to wash your pressing mat, hand wash it and hang or air dry flat.
I wondered about you when I heard you say mushrooms instead of a flamingo on those socks….lol.
Pat, everyone one of us has made “dorky” mistakes in our lives!! Or at least I do!! I keep my grown, adult children and my teenaged grandchildren laughing all the time with my dorky mistakes! They now just shake their heads and say, “sweet mama”.
I really needed a spray basting lesson today. Great timing.
Thinking Christmas is sooner than it is, because Thanksgiving was so early, we got an extra week.
Have you seen the pool noodle way of making a quilt sandwich? I'm thinking of doing it, next season when there are pool noodles available at the dollar store.
i have seen it, do what works for you
Watching actual baste spray would be beneficial. How much? Six inch section or smooth spray from right to left? I feel like sometimes I get too much spray and other times not enough??? Love how you break down the steps from cut to piece to assembly and quilt!
Happy Holidays!
i guess i thought i did spray. As you know, this is real life. i have sprayed in several other videos, use my search bar on my youtube channel. There isn't any way for you to 'see' spray. so that will be hard to answer. Best thing is to find someone local so you can stand with them and see their technique, which most likely will be a little different than mine
Loved this video! Do you ever iron the sandwich once you spray baste it? Some of fellow quilters do that so I was wondering if it makes any difference. Thanks Pat for all your support of this quilting community!
i do iron it as i go, i believe i said that
@@PatSloan thanks for clarifying that in your Oh Snap video
Merry Christmas!
Good morning all from Oklahoma
I’m wondering why if the backing is bigger than the quilt why can’t the batting and backing be the same size.
Wouldn’t that make it easier to handle?
i find it much much harder to be sure they are lined up if they are all the same size, you have zero wiggle room for error
My great grandmother had lemon drops.
How about laying it out on your dining room table?
i really dont' find the need. i would have to protect the dining room table as i can not blast steam on it.. much easier to do on my ironing board
Oh I’ve shifted a few backings!
"Six of one, a half dozen of the other" is how I heard the saying.
Using pool noodles is problematic around here. One of my cats DESTROYS pool noodles, given half a chance. So that means completing the noodle project and then put them away in the closet. Bless my fur babies!
How do you make sure the top isn't "catawampus" to the backing?
Ah ha! I guess I asked too soon!
you do like i did.. and sometimes have to adjust.
what is the maximum size that can be basted like that?
whatever your patience can handle!
Nothing sexy about basting. Just focus and precision (as in don't get sloppy). I do mine as often as possible on the rectangular patio table in the yard in nice weather. Sometimes in the fall I will do three quilts in a day getting ready for all that backed up quilting I have to get done in the winter. I never thought of the ironing board as an option. I live in the PNW ( no AC) so quilting is hot work in the summer, so I only piece then. Then I have a backlog of quilts to baste and quilt. When I get bored or sore doing one, I switch to another. Eventually they all get done. :)
Which you had shown the actual basting! But thanks!
i thought i did! Watch on on thursday or just search my channel as i've demoed it many times
When I do this the first side ends up with "bubbles" for lack of a profesional term, lol. Am I doing something wrong?
mmmmm no idea. Are you using 505? spraying the BATTING? ironing it? If you are doing all those things, then get someone local to you that uses spray to watch your process
Pat, did you spray the batting or the fabric?
Batting, i thought i did that part. watch on thusday and i'll do it again or search my videos as i have sprayed it many times prior
@@PatSloan I spray the batting also. Although the quilt police have said not to do that. Who are those guys? 🤣🤣
Why have the batting larger than the backing. I cut my backing larger so I can see the edges. And I cut the batting about an inch smaller all around. I can align it better. I will try on the ironing board, but use my cutting method. I sew a label by machine to the backing , so I want yo be straight.
That is just how it came off, i didn't bother to trim it down further
Hated ribbon hard candy it still makes my teeth shatter.
