    It's nice having Billy interject once in a while. He's got perfect timing because he brings up info that you don't, so he's definitely helpful. He doesn't chatter too much like other channels that distract me. He does a good job. Only interjects when he offers good information or information that we may otherwise miss..thumbs up to him.

    My mouth drops when you said that you were 17 and sewing so professionally for some one. Most of us just sew our own clothes not for a debutante, please share the picture. I enjoy you
    two talks so much and I have learned so much this year and I shared you with people that I know needing some information for something. THANK YOU for doing the podcast and the tutorials. 2021 sounds so good that I look forward to seeing you all. Stay Safe till the next time in 2021.

    I'm so late!! I wanted to tell Sherri that I started the exact same way. 2 classes at Singer then one at a local department store. You modeled what you made and wore accompanying pieces and got 25% off if you bought them. I made a striped shirt with ruffles at the top and down one side and at the sleeve, (I'm older than you are!) Both of my Grandma's quilted, but I'm adopted and came around late in life, so neither of them could teach me. My one grandma pieced and quilted blocks of Hollie Hobby that I did with Trichem paints with the rollerball. I bet you had some!! I look forward to being with y'all next year. Have a blessed Christmas and a Better New Year.

    Love the podcast! I started sewing in 4-H when I was 9, but didn’t start quilting till this past summer. I’ve read the blog from the beginning to September 2015 in the last 5 days. Looking forward to finishing, and doing the BOM with you in 2021. Merry Christmas to you both!! 🎄

    The pressing to one side came from a time when quilts were pieced together by hand. It would make the seams sturdier to press to one side rather than open.
    When I first started quilting to make sure that I cut accurately I would put a post it note next to the line I need to cut on. I have been known to cut a quarter inch off at times. The post it keeps me on track.

    @margomcintosh6070 3 года назад +2

    Does your Perfect Steam iron ever leak like regular steam irons? If not it would be so worth the money. Steam irons just don’t last no matter how expensive they were.

    • @sherrimcconnell4094
      @sherrimcconnell4094 3 года назад

      Mine has never leaked, and I've had it about a year and a half. I mix distilled with tap water 50/50 for it.

    @marybrubaker7557 3 года назад

    I have a "Jane Austen" fat quarter bundle and I am looking of a really good pattern to use it on. You both have such wonderful patterns, I was wondering if you have any suggestions. Thank you for all you do!

    I’ve done a virtual religious retreat that had zoom time each day for discussion about the class links or the event links that we did in our own time throughout the weekend. Do you think you could do some like that where we could do a quilt retreat? I’ve always wanted to go to one but haven’t been able to. We could pay online and reserve spot

    The big girl iron , this is a question for Cherri, what needles do you use when you hand sew the little flowers together?

    • @sherrimcconnell4094
      @sherrimcconnell4094 3 года назад

      I actually just use Primitive Gatherings binding needles...I like that they are sharp, easy to thread, and not too short.
