Hi. I signed up for a collage quilt class for the end of this month. I've never made one before. The homework assignment for before the class was to fuse all your background and other fabrics. Cut out flowers. Fuse some 10 inch squares. It was all a mystery to me. Thanks to this video,😍 I actually think I understand and can be ready for my class. I know it was 4 years ago, but I want you to know how much I appreciate that you made this video! Thank you.
Thank you for your help. I just bought my 1st Laura Heine Pattern. I'm excited and intimidated at the same time. You shared a lot that other instructors didn't.
Oh thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. I fell in love with Laura’s quilts and bought the pattern even though I only made 1 quilt in the past but it was all hand sewn lol! These quilts seem high tech and I desperately needed some help.
I love her patterns and got several only to read directions somewhat and put up. You did a terrific job explaining the process. Made everything easy. Now I am ready to go collage. Thank you
I love that you are SO relaxed, which makes it seem like the project is really do-able! I've had a kit for ages, but was intimidated. Think I will start today! Thanks!!
4/25/2021 I am making this design now. I decided to piece the background using a jelly roll. I am using hand sewn appliqués to cover the machine, to create the floral "quilt", and to add touches of color throughout the design. I added several dimensions of ruffled fabric to create the sewing machine hand wheel. My quilt is coming out beautifully! I decided to enlarge the design with bands of color, batting, and a cotton backer fabric to make this into a twin sized quilt. I love it! Thank you LAURA HEINE!! What a great design! 🌼
Great work...you are a terrific teacher and it's fascinating to watch and learn. Youve probably helped push the sales of these kits skywards.Hopefully the lady who designed the pattern will thank you for giving her free marketing !Keep doing these tutorial s you are modern and refreshing...and inspiring .thanks Tricia in the UK
I purchased this pattern recently. It wasn't available as a kit, but I'm certain I will have fun finding the perfect materials. I definitely must find the “word” fabric & some of the others that make it just “sew” perfect. I'm not intimated since watching your tutorial. Thank you for that encouragement! (P.S. I have a Yellow Nape Amazon, “Harry” - since he was a baby. I hand-fed him & taught him how to crack seed, etc. He loves everything: my cats, dogs, a rescued squirrel (from less than 4 wks old), and a Marmoset Monkey (again, from about 4 wks old). He sings, dances, carries on conversations, hugs & kisses, & so much more. He is so sweet & loving & adds so much love, entertainment, & fun to my home. I see you have a fondness for animals, too. They're wonderful!) Thank you, again🤗
Oh thank you! I am a brand new quilter and saw some of the quilts in my local store (shout out to Modern Quilting, Phoenix) and thought it looked so intimidating. You made it look so easy and fun. Please do more tutorials, on anything really! It's all new to me!
This video is fantastic! I have been waiting for someone to do a start to finish tutorial of one of these collage quilts! I can’t wait to start mine now. Great tips. Thank you so much!!
You need to know you made this possible for me to begin this technique. I will use the steam 2 seam 2 for the turtle! Thanks so much for a perfect video tutorial! Aloha 🙏🏻🌸🌈🌴
I was so confused about how to do the background fabric. BUT YOU MADE IT SOUND SO EASY! Glad that I found this tutorial. Now, I shall not be afraid to continue. THANKS SO MUCH!
Thank You! I have never appliqued before & couldn't find out how you cut the pieces out. The 3 or 4 attempts to figure it out - how to trace the pieces out - seemed to be "assumed" that we've all done it. I won't be ready for my class today, but at least I now know how to do it! THANK YOU again!
Appliqué uses many different techniques. And appliqué you sew on the pieces after. This is collage quilting so the quilting after the pieces are applied are going to be different.
Thank you so very much! The best tutorial on this I’ve seen. Your straightforward, you started at the beginning in case there are some newbies yet quickly move on to the next step. I’m finally going to create my Laura Heine Quilt, and I suspect I’ll make more now that I no longer fear the process. Have you done a tutorial on New York beauty or other star quilt designs?
Thank you! I had so much fun watching this . . . my favorite quote "Iron the crap out of it!". I will be working on my first collage quilt soon and this has been a tremendous help!
Thank you so much for showing the exact process of doing this technique!! I missed the class and I have a pattern and I think everything I need to make it but I really wasn’t sure how to begin. Thanks 😊
I love this video and how relaxed you are about the project. It no longer looks so intimidating to me! Can one use parchment paper for the pressing 'cloth' when ironing the fabric to the Steam a Seam 2?
Yes it was helpful to as I haven’t done a collage yet but have the gear to do them. Really looking forward to getting ready, the more videos I watch the more I learn so ya it’s was interesting thank you.
Great video! I read through the Laura Heine's Protea collage pattern instructions multiple times and couldn't understand the underlay technique for cutting and fusing the fabrics. Thanks to your demonstration, I get it! Thank you!
Thank you for this video! Although the quilt kits for the Featherweight pattern are no longer available I decided to buy the pattern and I’m going to give it a try! Now to just hunt through the scraps to find the pieces!
Thank you for this tutorial. If I understand correctly, once you've got all the fabric pieces ironed down, do you have to applique them or do you then put your quilt sandwich together and just quilt it however you'd like?
Hello, thanks for the tips on how to make the quilt. My question is do you have to sew each piece down around edges after sticking to your foundation piece? If not, when I quilt it, will that be enough to hold downs the pieces so the edges won't come up?
One thing I am missing in the videos.....it may be dumb question, but what do you have underneath as a protector for when all the pieces are laid out and you are ready to iron them in permanent place before sewing? I am going to purchased one of the Laura Heine Collages and get started!
The pieces being applied (glued) on the Pattern Ease, when the assembly is finished, do you sew it on a large piece of fabric (serving as a background)?
This is new to me. My question is, what happens to the paper that is under the fabric? Is it light cloth that stays in the quilt? Thank you! Such beautiful quilts.
The paper on the steam a seam should be removed in order to stick the fabric to your design. The “fabric ease” that I traced the design onto, is a light clothe and that will be part of the quilt. It stays forever
@@sassyquilting8325 OK. I did some research and others had the same issue and it was suggested to use steam a seam lite. Others suggested steaming the heck out of the collage when ironing the pieces on. Thank you for getting back with me.
I've got all my materials. I am doing the Laura Heine Tiny Turtle collage. Where did you get your applique pressing sheet? I purchased the Steam a Seam 2 and it comes with one but it's a bit more rigid.
Thank you for your tutorials. I'm getting ready to try my first collage. I really like how you aren't stacking fabric up. It makes it easier to sew. I love the background. I want to make this one for my sister, who has a Featherweight. Did you change colors when quilting? Thank you.
I have a question. I am starting the Collage Cactus Sampler by Laura Heine (first collage quilt) and I am iced in in NE OK right now. I do not have any Pattern ease foundation for the 9 cactus's. Is there anything else I can use? Or do I have to use it? There is a background to the quilt behind the cactus's that you build the cactus's on so I am confused why I need it.
I believe as long as she is not claiming the works as her own ideas and patterns, she is not breaking any laws. She clearly refers everyone to Laura’s site to purchase her patterns and kits. One thing I would add, that viewers also be referred to Laura’s book. Lots of questions will be answered in her book such as the question whether or not you can use muslin and why Pattern Ease is better, and she explains why Steam a Seam 2 works best. I personally found that reading the book first and then watching the video really pulled everything together. But of course once you get started, you too will find a technique that works best for you.
It’s from singer fabric but I don’t think it’s available anymore. I don’t remember where I got it. It was a line of fabric with singer machines and singer logos
I’m confused at the end. You are applying the collage to the Pattern Ease paper. Do you take off the pattern ease? Do you put another background piece fabric on for the backing? It didn’t show
what color and kind of thread do you use to quilt it? I just finished the jellyfish one but have no idea what to use for batting or thread... eeekkk.. any help would be appreciated
Making my first Laura Heine collage quilt. Your video was VERY helpful. Thank you!

This is the most freeing video for this technique. You have a gift to teach
I'm new to quilting and just love the look of these quilts. Can't wait to try it out! Thankyou!
Thank you so much. I’m going to do this at my local quilt shop. Found you today, this was GREAT!!!
This is the best tutorial on this method by far!!! Thanks so much for all the details❤
Oh thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. I fell in love with Laura’s quilts and bought the pattern even though I only made 1 quilt in the past but it was all hand sewn lol! These quilts seem high tech and I desperately needed some help.
Thank you for making this teaching video. Seeing the process really helps me understand the Heine collage posts I’ve read..
clearest tutorial on the assembling of a collage quilt yet. Thank you!
Great tutorial! I've admired her patterns for a long time but they looked intimidating. You did a great job explaining the process. Thank you
I love her patterns and got several only to read directions somewhat and put up. You did a terrific job explaining the process. Made everything easy. Now I am ready to go collage. Thank you
I took a collage class this week at my local quilt store and loved it. I discovered your tutorial today and it’s very helpful. Thanks.
I love that you are SO relaxed, which makes it seem like the project is really do-able! I've had a kit for ages, but was intimidated. Think I will start today! Thanks!!
Beth Templet Thank you!! I’m glad you liked the video 😊 Have fun making yours!
I guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Rafael Grady I use FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)
@Rafael Grady lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
You have the best collage tutorial. Thanks much.

Thank you. I appreciate your remarks
This is amazing. I just put the pattern in my Amazon cart, and this came up! Wonderfully clear instructions
So very helpful...I bought about three patterns, read directions but still had lots of questions so this video is awesome...thank you very much!

I’m jealous! I live in Ohio and visited Modern Quilting on vacation. What a nice shop to have for your local store!
@@de-deheeter2598 Yes! I do feel very lucky.
This video just popped up. I’m in Phoenix so I need to check out that shop.

Have you done a tutorial on New York beauty or other star quilt designs?
Love seeing some of Jessica Vandenburg's GYPSY line of fabric flowers.
Thank you. I started my collage then stopped when it came to tracing , cutting and placing the fabrics. Now I feel prepared to complete my collage.
Your video is so helpful. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this helpful video. I learned a lot and now feel like "hey, I think I can make one of these now!"
Thanks for such a descriptive tutorial. My guild is having a collage class and I thought to watch a tutorial on the subject. Your tutorial is great.
After watching your video I now feel like I can start my collage. Thank you for doing this.
Karen Fricke I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for commenting! Find me on FB if you haven’t already 😊
im starting the Sunflowers collage. Watching here for familiarization thank you!
Your very thoughtful instructor
Thank you! I had so much fun watching this . . . my favorite quote "Iron the crap out of it!". I will be working on my first collage quilt soon and this has been a tremendous help!
same here "Iron the crap out of it!"
Your instructions were so good! Thank you again!!!
❤❤❤ thank you so much I love your tenique.
I love the way you tossed the steam-a-seam to the side...it made me laugh! Great tutorial!
@Tracey Towner SAME! 😂😂
Watching again 😀

What is the foundation piece of fabric called at the stores
Oh my gosh, thank you! I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out the tracing thing. 🥰
Thank you for the tutorial! I am going to try it!
I just found your videos and I love this pattern. I live in Australia and would love to now where to buy this pattern. Thank you for your video
Thank you for this tutorial. If I understand correctly, once you've got all the fabric pieces ironed down, do you have to applique them or do you then put your quilt sandwich together and just quilt it however you'd like?
You quilt sandwich.
When you put the accents on the sewing machine, do you put them over the black or do you have to cut out the black there so it's not bulky?
Loved watching the process. Can the pattern be bought?
Hello, thanks for the tips on how to make the quilt. My question is do you have to sew each piece down around edges after sticking to your foundation piece? If not, when I quilt it, will that be enough to hold downs the pieces so the edges won't come up?
You don’t see each piece down. When you quilt it, do a tight stitch design and it should be fine
@@sassyquilting8325 Thank you so much. I just ordered my first pattern today.
This is a great video. Thank you for making it. I do have a question, do you buy 1.5 or 2.5" rolls for your fabric pieces?
Great video thank you ! I’m just wondering if you had any problem with your needle getting a lot of glue on it from the steam a seam ?
Beautiful BRILLIANT thanks for showing how to make this quilt .i have a similar pattern but it's for a sewing machine cover x
Just starting to look at collage quilting as one of my new projects.. great (tutorial) intro to this journey.. LOL
One thing I am missing in the videos.....it may be dumb question, but what do you have underneath as a protector for when all the pieces are laid out and you are ready to iron them in permanent place before sewing? I am going to purchased one of the Laura Heine Collages and get started!
You don’t need anything underneath it. There’s already fabric underneath. You just iron away
So do you leave the pattern ease in place. In essences it’s another layer in the quilting?
The pieces being applied (glued) on the Pattern Ease, when the assembly is finished, do you sew it on a large piece of fabric (serving as a background)?
Very helpful!
Great tutorial...thanks!
Love your tutorial💖
This is new to me. My question is, what happens to the paper that is under the fabric? Is it light cloth that stays in the quilt? Thank you! Such beautiful quilts.
you remove the paper and stick the fabric to the drawing
The paper on the steam a seam should be removed in order to stick the fabric to your design. The “fabric ease” that I traced the design onto, is a light clothe and that will be part of the quilt. It stays forever
great video!!! thank you!!!
Where did you get your fabric kit from? I haven't been able to find these beautiful bright colors.
Fiberworks-Heine.com
Hey there. Question. When you quilted your collage did the steam a seam glue gum up your needle? I’m having that issue.
My thread breaks A LOT when sewing. It gets gummed up. My needle not so much.
@@sassyquilting8325 OK. I did some research and others had the same issue and it was suggested to use steam a seam lite. Others suggested steaming the heck out of the collage when ironing the pieces on. Thank you for getting back with me.
I would love to see the back . Did you use batting? did you add a backing fabric. I love it
I've got all my materials. I am doing the Laura Heine Tiny Turtle collage. Where did you get your applique pressing sheet? I purchased the Steam a Seam 2 and it comes with one but it's a bit more rigid.
I think I bought my pressing mat from fiberworks-Heine.com
Great video! Thank you, I have subscribed!
I finally quilted my collage, however, some of the edges of the collage pieces are coming up. What do you do about that?
Glue them down if it’s a wall hanging.
Thank you for your tutorials. I'm getting ready to try my first collage. I really like how you aren't stacking fabric up. It makes it easier to sew. I love the background. I want to make this one for my sister, who has a Featherweight. Did you change colors when quilting? Thank you.
I just used white to quilt it
@@sassyquilting8325 Thank you.
I’m trying to figure out if batting is used/needed for quilting. Or can you just put a backing fabric on, quilt, and then bind?
Depends on what you’re going to do with it. If it’s a wall hanging, it’ll probably be stiff enough not to have batting. Otherwise you need batting.
I have a question.
I am starting the Collage Cactus Sampler by Laura Heine (first collage quilt) and I am iced in in NE OK right now. I do not have any Pattern ease foundation for the 9 cactus's. Is there anything else I can use? Or do I have to use it? There is a background to the quilt behind the cactus's that you build the cactus's on so I am confused why I need it.
I don’t see a problem not using it if u can find a way. Maybe Laura Heine uses it because it’s see-thru and light weight.
Que lindo seu trabalho! Muito inspirador!😍🤗👏👏👏
Can you use muslin instead of pattern ease? Great tutorial! I’ve had one of her kits for quit a while but really didn’t understand the directions
I’m not sure. I would think that would be fine tho
Great tutorial! New subscriber 😎😎
What is the stuff you put your fabric on and the brown one you iron on so glue doesn’t get on your iron?? ( sorry just new to this )
Goddess appliqué pressing sheet
the appliqué pressing sheet is that like the Tim Holz sheet for painting? I wonder if this kit is still available?
I’m not familiar with Tim Holz painting

I’m confused at the end. You are applying the collage to the Pattern Ease paper. Do you take off the pattern ease? Do you put another background piece fabric on for the backing? It didn’t show
The fabric ease acts as the background. Everything goes on it and stays on it.
Thanks! So helpful!
Thanks for this video :)
Can this type of quilting project be used as a throw? Washed in the washing machine without falling apart?
Yes it can.
Do you quilt around the individual pieces? What stitch?
I made a video on how I quilt it. It’s on my RUclips channel @sassyquilting
what color and kind of thread do you use to quilt it? I just finished the jellyfish one but have no idea what to use for batting or thread... eeekkk.. any help would be appreciated
I would like to know this as well
