I’m a new quilter and having a terrible time getting a straight cut. I end up cutting a lot of fabric away. I have searched EVERYWHERE for a tutorial on cutting. Thank God!! I FOUND YOU! You’re a superb teacher! You don’t rush through things, great camera angle, and you not only explain what you’re doing but WHY you’re doing it. I have to know why I’m doing what I’m doing for it to make sense to me, maybe that’s strange. I’ve always enjoyed when you’re on here but I have to say this is my Favorite! Thank you so much. Thank you!! I hope you do more tutorials on the basics of quilting.
Matt's calming voice makes me want to slow down! You don't need to rush. He cuts the cloth beautifully in a calm and presice way. Thank you Matt. You Donna and your family are a formidable team. Live Jordan Fabrics. Greetings from London
Enjoyed it very much.The first time I took a class on this it was explained so quickly that I thought I'd never figure it out and of course no instructions given. Luckily , my girlfriend had made this quilt and she was nice enough to show me how.. Matt you did an incredible job on this teaching this quilt. I'm new to your site and love, love, love your wife as well. Thanks again for another great class.
I've been following your wonderful RUclips page for a few years now. I think you have the best ethical model and standards of any business out there. I love your videos which are so helpful. Donna you make all the great videos which make the process so easy. Matt you do a wonderful job of making of your pre-cut kits as well. I wish your could open your store again, but I understand with Covid it's just not realistic at this time. Thanks again for all your great videos...
I love cutting. I'm brand new to quilting and have found it is exactly what he says it is....therapeutic. I've suffered with PTSD since around 2000 and doe the first time in these 21 years, I look forward to cutting. You ladies and gentlemen are amazing. Please know you are blesding many of us. ;-)
I know this video was made 4 years ago but I really appreciated it. Matt is such an excellent teacher and professional when it comes to cutting fabrics. I am a new quilter and you wouldn’t believe how much fabric I have ruined in the cutting process. You make it look so easy and I learned so much. Thank you
Dear Matt, Thanks for the video. I've been quilting a few years but I watched the whole video. Love the fabric also. My favorite part was when you said how much you loved what you did. It makes me enjoy your video even more.
AWESOME, Matt! Thanks sooo much as I really learned a lot by observing your precision measuring & cutting techniques, plus teaching us how to be brave enough to cut multiple layers at once for enhanced speed. We’re generally not as tall nor as strong as you are with your long, manly arms. However, we can probably handle half as much in length and layers easily. THANK YOU!!
Thank you Matt. Because of yours and Donna’s videos I’m more comfortable in cutting fabric. I retired recently and picked up quilting again. 10 plus years since I’ve quilted, and I’ve ordered fabric from your store and have made about 8 quilt tops since January. Haven’t quilted them yet. I found your channel in October of last year and felt the tug again. I will send pics soon, but thank you again.
It is such a delight to watch your tutorials, that I could not go to sleep until 1:30 am in the morning. As I only discovered this amazing and unique tutorial site last night. As I tried my hand on quilting before RUclips and cellphone internet was available in South Africa, I gave it up for a Bad bad Job. You won't believe me, I still have the baby duvet which I did not finish yet after 15 years. With your tutorials, I can finish it with a cute border and turn it into a doll's cot duvet set for the twins who are now 2 years old.
Matt is marvelous at two extremely important skills. First, he has an exceptional eye as he chooses fabrics to buy for their shop and to put together in quilt kits. If you’ve never ordered one of their kits, you are really missing something! Second, his cutting is always PERFECT! Jordan Fabrics beats every other store/manufacturer in putting together fabrics in a kit for a beautiful quilt.
I like how much time you take with the fabric. From the ironing to the cutting of the strips. Its very obvious you enjoy what you do. Thank you for sharing and showing the correct way of doing such important steps.
I love to watch Donna and Matt's tutorials. Both are so precise and neat, and the attention to detail is something I greatly appreciate. Now that I've been inspired, I'm off to sew together my grandbabies some quilts. Thank you both, and please continue giving inspiration through your work.
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking your time to share this. I love this pattern and it’s wonderful to see the pride you take in your profession 👍
I am new to quilting and would like to say thank you Matt for this walk through on cutting fabric for the rail fence. It makes a huge difference for me. Thank you!
Very pretty pattern. And beautiful colors. I learned a lot. I'm a novice, so I'm trying to learn everything. I dont have local access to a good fabric store to buy precut kits, so what ever I get, I will have to cut myself. Taking the fabric down to a manageable width is the first step. Thank you.
I chuckled when the phone rang and Matt said, "I hope it's an order" LOL! Too funny! I recently found you guys and LOVE to order from your business! Donna is the best of all teachers!
Too funny! I read some of the comments just before starting the video so when I heard the phone ring, I knew what Matt was going to say ;-) Love both of these folks, they are great teachers and I watch most every day now.
I am seeing this video three years later, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. You did a fantastic job Matt, and I learned some techniques that I can use when cutting pieces for rail fence quilts as well as other patterns. Thank you so much, and keep the inspiration coming.
At the time of this video, Jordans have been doing this for 40 years! Long may they continue! Really enjoy watching Matt showing us how he works in the studio and Donna when she shows us how to sew the quilt tops, very relaxing and informative. Thanks to you both so much!
I see you are a perfectionist ... me, too. You and Donna share so much knowledge in each video, it is a pleasure to watch them and know you will be/are learning at the same time. Your method of teaching is that of someone teaching a 'one-on-one' class ... makes one seem a part of it, if you know what I mean. Interesting. Thank-you so much for sharing your time and knowledge so freely. It is greatly appreciated. God bless you and yours.
Dear Donna and Matt, I so love watching the video tutorials that you make. I feel more confident cutting and sewing, quilting and other sewing, I enjoy the presicion and care that you bring to your art, thank you, always, regards May
I am just getting back to quilting after a 20 year break. So much has changed. Donna is my go to instructor on RUclips and now I've met you, Mike. I could watch you cut for hours. I love the hand cuts and the 'song' of the blade. Thank you both for getting the creativity flowing through my mind again.
Matt you have a talent for cutting material AND a gift for teaching . THIS also includes your wife's talents. WHAT A TEAM . Who could ask for anything more. KUDOS.FROM CANADA
Gosh I wish I could live in Oregon to visit your store all the time! Thanks so much for sharing. I loved all the tips on cutting and introducing pretty batik fabrics to coordinate colors with. Thank you!
I love this channels attention to the smallest detail, I shoot competition rifle and this too requires the most obsession to small details. When I am not on the range or reloading bench, I love to quilt. This channel has improved my knowledge so much. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
This was fascinating! Thank you Matt! I'd love a video on your previous textile companies, how you and Donna met and your backgrounds. You're both absolutely lovely to share your knowledge with us. Those fabrics were STUNNING! Take care, be safe and keep up the fabulous work.
Matt, thank you so much for this tutorial. Because I'm "cutting challenged" I watched it twice to make sure I understood fully. I much prefer cutting yardage for the strips.Again, thank you very much
Thank you Matt for helping me to cut my material in a way that I don’t end up with loads of of waste, I can’t wait to get to my cutting mat and have a go, I have weights, yea!! Mr and Mrs Jordan you are my hero’s.❤️
I,like every one else appreciate you’re talent and willing to share, also like every one else I have learned so much. I have been Quilting since 2000 and the industry has changed so much and I know you can agree, so thank you. God bless you and you’re family and have a very Merry Christmas.
I thank you Matt, I Feel like an employee in training! I’m impressed with your patience and schooling! I want to buy my precuts from ya’ll! I’ve sewn garments for over 40 years and from you I’ve learned how to cut for sewing quilts...you are the Man! Bless your heart for the love of what you do, such Pride and Perfection! Awesome instructions....Thank you. Batiks are my favorite to collect over the decades.
Matt, thank you so much for showing us how to cut fabric strips. You make it look very easy to do. Also thank you for explaining what your doing step by ste
I have been quilting for 7 years. Still a beginner and I love watching Donna and Matt show me new techniques and materials. I get so relaxed when watching. And I have learned so much and improved my technique so much. Thanks for all the fun of watching and learning. Gennie from Georgia
I love their video tutorials too. The videographer is an expert at getting close up shots so you know exactly what they are talking about. No idle chit chat, they just get on with it and their workspace around their projects aren’t messy. Love their tutorials. How I would love to visit their fabric store 💖
This is an older video but still a great instructional video!! Some things never change. Matt you taught me to cut years ago and now you’re teaching my granddaughter who is beginning to show an interest so thank you. Thank you very much. ❤
You are both so passionate about what you do. You truly put yourselves into your business. When you love what you do, chances are you do a spectacular job. Both are quite evident in your videos. I want to look up the history of your businesses to see what lead you to where you are today. Hopefully it’s on your website. Thanks so much ! I watch your videos constantly. I look into the past videos to see what I’ve missed because i don’t want to miss anything.
I enjoy all the tips you include in the videos. I’ve been sewing for years and it’s fun to learn new things or an easier way of doing something. Also I get a kick out of your enthusiasm, Matt, for the beauty of handmade batiks. It is an art!
While I was watching Matt show how he did the cutting and the measurements, (and this is 3 yrs later, so Matt, your awesome way of teaching continues to inspire everyone!) how as the commenter below (thepowderriverfarmer) mentioned that Matt and Donna's videos on RUclips are indeed UNIQUE. Both Matt & Donna have this uncanny ability to make a viewer believe that Matt and/or Donna are standing right next to you, teaching you the amazing art of quilting. When people like Matt & Donna do these types of videos, it's not only a skill but a love of something that they cherish and want to share with everyone who has the pleasure to watch their creative style of teaching. Thank you so much for ALL you do, Matt & Donna, you've both taught me soo much! This video was awesome. The precise way you do things is a testament to how Jordan Fabrics was born. I really want to visit your shop when the Pandemic is over or things start to get better.
Yes! I feel like I'm the only one there w/them and they're teaching me. Thanks for keeping it real and not editing out things like the moments Matt was thinking/pausing. You and Donna are absolute gems.
Thank you for this video, I am just about to start a quilt for my grandson and those fabrics and colours are perfect, he has already chosen a design he likes which is the simplicity quilt in a jelly roll and layer cake book I have. I prefer this, it looks easier, I will show him the finished quilt later and see if he would like it. I just wish I was near you and could buy these materials. I am new to quilting and find your videos are tremendous help.
Matt I loved the video , your technique and your peacefulness ! You really get what fabric and quilting are all about ! I learn something every time I watch y’all! Thank you and keep them coming ! Quilting really is therapy!!! Be blessed!
You made something that has been intimidating and daunting to me in the past seem very doable with a few new to me tips that keep everything accurate and neat. Thank you! I have leaned a lot from watching y’all’s channel.
I have ordered your rail fence kits, and they are so beautifully cut (no pinked edges - thank you!), that the blocks come out perfectly. And I love that you and Donna explain what you’re doing and why, and also share tips and tricks to help us be more successful in making our own quilts. Your color and fabric choices are spot on, too. Thank you both so much for your informative videos and beautiful project kits. LOVE Jordan Fabrics!
Hi Matt - it is like watching an Artist at work. I learn so much from you regarding cutting, it is one of the most important parts of quilting but not a part I particularly enjoy, I'm always in a hurry. Have learnt from you to take your time in cutting and ironing - these steps determines how cool the finished product is going to look. Please do more videos, you're very talented and have a great smile. Thank you once again.
Yes I love it, i enjoyed watching your skills such an "expert cutter" very therapeutic to be able to watch and learn from a great teacher, Thank you I look forward to learning from you again. All the best to you and your family, watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😀
Thank you so much for this video! I thought that I was limited to the Jelly Roll. Now I am free to pick my favorite colors and go. Thank you for the measurements. Since I don’t have access to a long arm I will need to us the QAYG technique.
Awesome tutorial!!!! Thank you so much. I never thought to put a weight on the ruler. I’ve been struggling on how to make quilts for men, now I have a direction!
What the commenters below are missing is that the way Matt and Donna make their videos is unique. They treat the viewer as though they were standing next to them in their shop. That approach is invaluable and the videos contain a lot of detail that'd be missed in fast forwarding. Their videos and precut kits and outstanding email/phone help are better services than any I've found elsewhere.
hi from the UK. just found your tutorials by accident and really loving them. both you and your wife are very meticulous. Cutting and pressing your fabric accurately is probably THE most important step and too many people seem to rush this stage and it makes the construction so much easier. the old rule, "measure twice, cut once" really applies in quilting. i would love my DH to cut everything for me the night before, ready to sew the next day.
Hi MrsGraphiteGal. I'm in the UK, too, and love Matt & Donna's videos. Since I started watching them I think my sewing has improved dramatically. I also have a custom-made ironing board based on the one Matt made. I have my iron and ironing board beside the sewing machine so I can stitch and press. I've improved in my cutting technique, too. I use a weight, but it's only a kilo, so I have to buy a bigger one! Just saying howdy from another fan in the UK!
Mr. Jordan, thank you for this tutorial. I began quilting last fall (small projects). I wanted to make a Rail Fence quilt, and when I saw your video, I cut my fabric with your tutorial playing. My cuts were perfection. You and your wife are great instructors. Thanks again!!!
Love your fabric cutting tutorial, Matt. You said that cutting is relaxing, I say it's meditative. No rushing and no stress in this step makes for accuracy in piecing a perfect quilt. Love all your tutorials. Keep them coming. I learn something new with each one and just as much in repeated viewings.
Thank you Matt for all your instruction on cutting fabric for quilting. It really helped me because cutting is the one thing I dislike doing out of all the steps of quilting. I know it's because I was lacking the information I needed. You were so clear, and what I really liked, was how you went slowly in the whole process, not just skimming over each step. The camera was excellent for showing each step you did. I really really love the videos you and Donna make. Thank you again.
Thank you it was nice to see how you cut fabric. I am a self quilter and am learning more by listening to the experts books leave out some of the little facts we need to know. So again thank you.
Almost 3 years since this was made. I totally and thoroughly enjoyed every minute, very detailed and easy to understand since I am one that needs to have things repeated a few times. What a beautiful quilt, I can't match it with today's fabrics but what an adventure I am going to have searching for just the right fabrics for the quilt I have in mind. Thank you so much, again, I did enjoy your detailed video and instructions. How lucky are you to be able to play and work. (smile) Excited.
Wow! You are very good at cutting. I definitely learned from you. What precision and control. It is obvious you enjoy what you do. Thank you for sharing. I felt like I was in the room with you.

Never thought watching a 'how to cut' tutorial could be so enjoyable as well as relaxing. Thank you

Watching tutorials while cutting fabric today! That weight on the long ruler makes such a difference to accuracy. No accidents. No slipping. Awesome!
I love watching Matt cut out the material. It reminds me to slow down. Sometimes I want to rush thru something and I can’t do that.
It just makes me so happy to see Matt cutting fabric as watching Donna make quilts. You guys are the best! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love their video tutorials too. The videographer is an expert at getting close up shots so you know exactly what they are talking about. No idle chit chat, they just get on with it and their workspace around their projects aren’t messy. Love their tutorials. How I would love to visit their fabric store 💖

I have ordered your rail fence kits, and they are so beautifully cut (no pinked edges - thank you!), that the blocks come out perfectly. And I love that you and Donna explain what you’re doing and why, and also share tips and tricks to help us be more successful in making our own quilts. Your color and fabric choices are spot on, too. Thank you both so much for your informative videos and beautiful project kits. LOVE Jordan Fabrics!
Matt, You never cease to amaze me! you are precise, easy going and instill confidence in everything you do and say! Thanks for your expertise!
Hi Matt - it is like watching an Artist at work. I learn so much from you regarding cutting, it is one of the most important parts of quilting but not a part I particularly enjoy, I'm always in a hurry. Have learnt from you to take your time in cutting and ironing - these steps determines how cool the finished product is going to look. Please do more videos, you're very talented and have a great smile. Thank you once again.
Love the stair step pattern! Choice of color is everything! Tfs
Yes I love it, i enjoyed watching your skills such an "expert cutter" very therapeutic to be able to watch and learn from a great teacher, Thank you I look forward to learning from you again. All the best to you and your family, watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😀
Thank you so much for this video! I thought that I was limited to the Jelly Roll. Now I am free to pick my favorite colors and go. Thank you for the measurements. Since I don’t have access to a long arm I will need to us the QAYG technique.
Awesome tutorial!!!! Thank you so much. I never thought to put a weight on the ruler. I’ve been struggling on how to make quilts for men, now I have a direction!
What the commenters below are missing is that the way Matt and Donna make their videos is unique. They treat the viewer as though they were standing next to them in their shop. That approach is invaluable and the videos contain a lot of detail that'd be missed in fast forwarding. Their videos and precut kits and outstanding email/phone help are better services than any I've found elsewhere.
This is the first time I have watched their videos ... I'm listing them as a Favorite
powderriverfarrier I like watching your shows
I totally enjoy watching these videos! I love the way they record them. Very down home and personal! :)
Which comments below are you talking about?
Perfectly said and I 200% agree👍😀
hi from the UK. just found your tutorials by accident and really loving them. both you and your wife are very meticulous. Cutting and pressing your fabric accurately is probably THE most important step and too many people seem to rush this stage and it makes the construction so much easier. the old rule, "measure twice, cut once" really applies in quilting. i would love my DH to cut everything for me the night before, ready to sew the next day.
Hi MrsGraphiteGal. I'm in the UK, too, and love Matt & Donna's videos. Since I started watching them I think my sewing has improved dramatically. I also have a custom-made ironing board based on the one Matt made. I have my iron and ironing board beside the sewing machine so I can stitch and press. I've improved in my cutting technique, too. I use a weight, but it's only a kilo, so I have to buy a bigger one! Just saying howdy from another fan in the UK!
Proper cutting technique is SOOO important. Thank you for the excellence you demonstrate in both your product quality and instructional techniques.
gosh I love these videos - they are so restful. And i love how Matt is so excited about the super nice accurate rectangles.
Mr. Jordan, thank you for this tutorial. I began quilting last fall (small projects). I wanted to make a Rail Fence quilt, and when I saw your video, I cut my fabric with your tutorial playing. My cuts were perfection. You and your wife are great instructors. Thanks again!!!
You are very welcome!
I love watching Matt cut. He is so precise and accurate. His eye for coordinating fabrics is superb.
Love your fabric cutting tutorial, Matt. You said that cutting is relaxing, I say it's meditative. No rushing and no stress in this step makes for accuracy in piecing a perfect quilt. Love all your tutorials. Keep them coming. I learn something new with each one and just as much in repeated viewings.
Thank you Matt for all your instruction on cutting fabric for quilting. It really helped me because cutting is the one thing I dislike doing out of all the steps of quilting. I know it's because I was lacking the information I needed. You were so clear, and what I really liked, was how you went slowly in the whole process, not just skimming over each step. The camera was excellent for showing each step you did. I really really love the videos you and Donna make. Thank you again.
Love the detail. Simple explanation; very clear. Mitred corners I never would have attempted but I might now. At least i know how. Thanks Donna.
I am a quilting novice and this was a great learning tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to walk us through the process.
Love the way the entire family is involved with this fabulous business in all aspects. Congrats!!
Thank you it was nice to see how you cut fabric. I am a self quilter and am learning more by listening to the experts books leave out some of the little facts we need to know. So again thank you.
I like the way you cut...think this has helped me..Thank you..Jan
You are a perfectionist wonderful to see you work
Meticulous cutting Matt.love the finish on the quilt. Fabrics so pretty.
Almost 3 years since this was made. I totally and thoroughly enjoyed every minute, very detailed and easy to understand since I am one that needs to have things repeated a few times. What a beautiful quilt, I can't match it with today's fabrics but what an adventure I am going to have searching for just the right fabrics for the quilt I have in mind. Thank you so much, again, I did enjoy your detailed video and instructions. How lucky are you to be able to play and work. (smile) Excited.
I really enjoy seeing how careful you are an the care in witch you handle and take care of the fabric
Wow! You are very good at cutting. I definitely learned from you. What precision and control. It is obvious you enjoy what you do. Thank you for sharing. I felt like I was in the room with you.
Perfecto, corta las telas como una máquina. Me encanta. He aprendido mucho. Gracias 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🥳🥳😍😍💕💕🌷🌷
I love this tutorial. I will definitely iron first every time and slow things down. Thank you Matt
Your cutting is so meticulous. Jordan Fabrics pre-cuts are the finest. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
I had a cousin that lived in Grants Pass passed away now though love your quilts
