Ms Emma, I have been quilting my entire life, beginning with teachings from my grandmother. I love looking at quilting videos, but yours is the first where you show all the mistakes made as examples of what not to do. You are a good story teller of your craft and I know new quilters will appreciate your advice! Cheers!
Thank you so much! I do hope it’s useful to beginners 😊
I am in admiration of your video teaching! Thank you. I am very new to quilting but have now made a few items. Have lots to learn!!
Emma, if you punch a hole in the center of the paper shape,you can pop the paper out with a crochet hook!
@paulamadison3673 Do you punch the hole before attaching the fabric or after?
Thank you for this!!! ❤️
I haven't sewn for a while, had a stroke, not bad but I started to decorate, couldn't finish before end of summer. Now the winter months I have been sewing again, I love it so much. I found my Liberty cross stitch book and thought of your channel, such pretty delicate designs. I still have the EPPs that I made a while back think Ill have to check them over now :) Thank you for sharing the tips, so useful.
I'm so glad you feel better🥰
I'm so sorry you've been suffering with your health, good to hear you are ok now and back to stitching. Thanks so much for watching, happy stitching!
Sending hugs!
Hi Alison Mary, hope you are feeling better. Same here had a stroke as well and have discovered Sewing by hand. Wonderful therapy for the hands, heart and soul. Watching Emma’s video it has been a lovely
inspiration.
Hi Emma Jones. I love your video. Some points that kept me hooked on: your calm voice; no Quilt Police allowed; you have shown and spoke about your past mistakes (that’s how others can learn as well) and I was happy and sorry to see (😮) that you’ve stabbed you nail a couple of times. I am not alone. Have been doing some appliqué and stabbed my finger nail a couple of times 😊. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing. sorry long msg.
I started my first EPP almost 2 years ago and have been working on it off and on since then. I love that I can work on my EPP project while doing other things like watching Tv and talking to people.
Thank you so much Emma. You are such a pleasure to watch and have such a lovely, calming voice. I started doing EPP after being inspired by your early videos. I got frustrated when my pieces weren't turning out nicely and now I know why. You covered all of the issues I was having and I so appreciate it! Now I will start again with much enjoyment instead of frustration. THANK YOU! 💖
I'm so happy to hear this video was useful, wishing you many happy hours of stitching, thank you for watching x
I'm in the midst of a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt and I began using fabric glue. I made every mistake you have mentioned, so I switched to thread basting and it is SO much easier. Also, there is a bit more forgiveness if my paper piece is just a tiny bit "off". All that being said, the glue method is a bit faster and " crisper", if you get it right. Thank you for these tips!
I never thought of gluing. Think I might cross that off my list of things to try now though, especially since glue and I have never been friends!
Thank you for mentioning this. I am new to EPP. Waiting for my first kit. The RUclips video for it showed thread basting. I worried it might be too difficult as the pieces are a bit larger than the small hexies shown on his channel. I also wondered whether it was just an old fashion way of doing the basting. You've convinced me it's worth trying. My hands hurt after a lot of hand work so having the fabric a little more pliable might be a good thing.
Hi. This is such a useful video. The star joining in particular was great. I always get the " hole ". Also, I always get the nibbled edges on my card. I thought that was quite a normal thing, but annoying as I can't reuse the shape. Thank you so much for making all the tiniest details of EPP really clear. Your explanations are super helpful. Xx
great to hear this was useful for you Nicky, thanks for watching x

Hi Emma, I'm so pleased you have made this video. I love the way you explain things so clearly. The tips were brilliant and I can honestly say I've made those sort of mistakes too, especially cutting my fabric too short for the template. Please, please keep the videos coming as they inspire me to want to pick up my EPP and sew. Many, many thanks Emma x

Totally agree with wrapping the material too tight as a problem. This is my first EPP project (grandmothers garden) and I've wrapped my material too tightly. Its murder on the fingers! contemplating starting again on the pieces I've already glued.
