    I always thought that Dresden Plate blocks were difficult to make until I tried to make one. They're very easy to make if you follow my instructions and they can be used to create lots of wonderful designs.

    I am trying to finish a quilt my mother in law started 40+ years ago and never finished. She hand quilted 20 solid color blocks with a Dresden like stitch pattern. I needed to select a block that would complement her work and help me complete her quilt. I decided the Dresden block would be perfect and watched this tutorial. It was so informative as I had never done a Dresden block. With your help, I have completed 12 of 18 Dresdens and am enjoying the process. Thank you and wish me luck for the rest!

    That is a very useful tutorial. I'm in a beginner sampler quilting class and I've had to resew last month's block, a Dresden Plate, twice already. It still isn't flat. It is flatter, but not flat enough. I've put seven hours in to that block, and felt kind of through with it, to be honest. I'll give it another go using your tips, especially your direction to just stitch another line beside the original. That option still might work for me. I think sewing them in pairs would have helped me and the detail about the true quarter inch seam, too. Thank you, I enjoyed the video and you've picked up my spirits about the sampler quilt.

    Your pressing the center registration line is a great idea. I happen to own Susan Cleveland's prairie point maker (because I love prairie points!) and I found that her tool is perfect for inserting into the tip of the dresden. It is metal and you can iron right over it while it's inserted into the tip of the dresden. I've made plenty of dresdens and they are so much fun. Thanks.

    After turning the circle I sometimes add batting for dimension. Sometimes I "point" both ends of the blade and put a piece of fabric (to represent the center of a flower) under the center. I also love using tone-on-tone batiks to make the flowers.

    • @Chatterboxquilts
      @Chatterboxquilts  3 года назад +1

      Math isn't my strong suit so my best suggestion is to start with an 8" circle and divide it into 12 parts and then you would have to double this (as you'll be folding the Dresdens in half). There may be an easier, more mathematical way, to do this but this is the only way I know to do it.

    GREAT video!! what is that TINY square piece of fabric that is always under the presser foot a bit? LOOKS real handy. is there a tutorial on it AND do you have some BEGINNER sewing machine tutorials? sewing tutorials in general? I had to learn to sew during the PANDEMIC so my "skills" are limited to making masks mostly, I DID make some pretty good curtains for my PANDEMIC PANIC PANTRY I had built too. My great aunt used to make these Dresden plate quilt squares and TONS of others when she was in her 80's and 90's. She could barely see but her husband and her brother ironed the fabric pieces and helped her cut it into the shapes. She sewed them ALL by hand!! she made hundreds of quilts. All 3 of them were in the same "nursing home" back in the 70's, and made the most of their LONG time there. Luckily they were all very healthy-I was too young to ask WHY they were there. Thanks for the video and great tips.

  • @TreebeardsHome
    @TreebeardsHome 4 года назад +1

    I’m curious, why are the Martelli templates black? Doesn’t that make it difficult to see your fabric under the shape you’re cutting? Especially if you’re wanting to do fussy cutting or repeats?
    I’ve seen so many great & innovative items they’ve added to the quilting world. But I’ve never seen templates that aren’t clear.
    I’m genuinely curious how that functions & why they decided to use a black opaque material for their templates. I can’t find the answer on the website in faqs or in their product descriptions.
    Thanks for the great video. I’ve been admiring dresdens lately & I appreciate seeing your approach. Hope you have a great week.

    • @Chatterboxquilts
      @Chatterboxquilts  4 года назад +2

      I can't answer for Martelli but you don't need to see through their templates to use them. They do have special fussy cutting templates in various shapes that work very well. You can see these on my video at ruclips.net/video/6fdEJA2917g/видео.html

    • @Chatterboxquilts
      @Chatterboxquilts  2 года назад

      Here's my best guess at this one: create a circle that fits into the 12" block. Find the centre of your block (fold it in 4) and then measure out from the centre to the edge of the circle and this is the longest that a blade could be.

      That is part of the Martelli round about system. It's the iron top. There is also a base and a cutting mat and you can interchange the iron top with the cutting mat. The system can be purchase separately or all together. This "turntable" system is especially great for cutting as you can move the cutting surface rather than your fabric. If you'd like more information, go to bit.ly/martellicode and search for "round-about". #affiliatelink
