    Thank you for your great tip! I never thought about turning the pin sideways, but that makes finding the spot to sew through so much easier. Happy quilting ❤❤❤

    Fabulosa vid as always. I'm not a pinner, as I'm a glue baster. I like to pivot a pin perpendicular to both points on my pinnable ironing surface. Once glued/set, it does not shift (but do clip because I'm clumsey and roll my chair over some piece of dragging quilt piece). Now, for pesky internal points (kaleido, LeMoyne) that you have to align when there is a confluence of stuff....using jeans thread (and appropriately sized needle) allows for a thread pivot (v. pin) that you can hold and guide through your machine. (Not saying it is any better than your method or pivoting pin method...just a method). Importantly, if you want to not lose your points, don't have scant 1/4" seams on points. A test block will always confirm your choices (yay or nay) so that your block finishes the right size with the right points. Keep your vids coming....

    Great idea Mary. I have heard to sew through the actual point but I often have to unpack and try to get just below. I am going to try this.

    • @joyfulandmerryquilting
      @joyfulandmerryquilting  2 месяца назад

      I found when you sew through the tip, then you still have a bit of a flat end. With this, you allow for the fold over and still have a perfect point Thanks for watching!

    Thank you so much for the videos. I’m learning so much. I have a request. Please place the detailed part you are working on in the center of the screen. I need the closed captions and they are often right across what you are working on. I often watch the videos multiple times so I see what you are saying, then turn off closed captions and watch again. Thank you Mary! I love your channel!

    • @joyfulandmerryquilting
      @joyfulandmerryquilting  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks so much for that request. It's difficult for me to see what I'm working on when I have the piece positioned too far away from me - and there are times when my head gets in the way when I'm leaning forward, trying to see...but I will definitely keep that in mind and try to make sure I have that bottom area of the screen open. Thank you again!

  • @meacadwell
    @meacadwell 2 месяца назад

    I see your way of doing this and it seems easier.
    I've been doing it a smidge differently. I poke the pins through the points so the pin heads are underneath the block. Lay the sashing on top and poke the pins straight up through the sashing. I use those marking pins to keep the sashing in place - where the pin comes out is the "mark" and I sew just to the outside of the "mark" from the sashing side.
    I'll have to give your version a try. Thank you
