That thread tutorial has changed my life. 50+ years stitching and I never knew this.nTY so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Another 3 weeks and I can buy my machine, I'm binging quilt channels now, because I really want to learn how to quilt. And tip's & tricks like you gave are so helpfull! Thanks 😊
Just found your channel. These tips are amazing. I didn’t realise about the different ways thread is wound. Thanks for sharing.
I loved the information about crosswise grain and lengthwise grain. I learned all that when I took a Singer sewing class decades ago (I’m talking the sixties ladies!). This was helpful to learn when cutting strips for piecing! And also the diagonal corner to corner sewing. OMG, every single time I mess up at least one of the strips no matter how careful and deliberate I am. Thank you so much!
I’ve sewn for over 50 years and I didn’t know about the way thread is wound and how to use it. Thank you.
Never too old to learn new tricks (quilting for 45+ years). Perfect timing too. Dragging my feet on cutting sashing thinking I have to cut selvage to selvage, pray the cuts are straight, then piece them together. Voila! Cut along the selvage the length of the 2 yards and no piecing! Thank you!
I’m a new to quilting, I told myself. I never would quilt, and all if a sudden I have had a change of heart. I love your tips to make things easier you are right the sewing tips you never learned in home economics or maybe you never heard your teacher say that because you told yourself I’ll never do that! 50 years later and retirement I’m wanting to begin re-learning 1) because access to you tube to listen to great instructors as yourself 2) the sewing industry has such great technology and new ideas and products I can’t wait to try it all out, thanks for everything,
I've been sewing for 50 years, and I never knew the stuff about how to thread the different spool types--and why! Thanks!
Thank you for the info on strips and the grain!
I've been watching sewing tip videos all day and this is the best one by far!
It's a blessing to find your channel. Sew for couple decades but just going to start quilting and these tips are the best. Keep helping.
I've been sewing for years but new to the quilting world…you taught me so much. You are very concise and thoroughly explain. Very well done!
Hi here. Ive been sewing for 60 years, and a couple of your tips were new to me! Great job on giving excellent, helpful tips for newer sewers!! The one I didn’t realize was the stitch number for the metric measurement, but it makes perfect sense!! Thanks again! I hope they wrote your tips down! I would’ve added, always have you iron ready! Happy sewing, everyone!
You are so welcome!
This makes so much sense as when piecing we don’t backspace when we start nor when we finish. I have made the mistake of having my stitches too long and saw how my pieces separated at the ends. Thank you for that. Beginners such as myself are not aware of this. I was used to garment sewing which is different to quilting. I am new at quilting….guess it shows…
Very handy tips for all quilters,can say life saying and worth seeing .
Glad you think so!
All of these tips are great but the one that shines a light on the problem I've had with my new machine was the thread. Thanks so much!
I am starting to quilt again after years of having my machine gather dust. Thank you so much for these tips. It will make life easier.
Thank you so much. So many videos are filled with a lot of talk and not too much useful content. Every word you said was clear and new to me! Nice to learn some great tips that will really benefit me.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us of your expertise. Really appreciated. Lovely presentation and a big help.
The warp and the weft! I had never been told about that either. Working on a quilt kit right now and every single cut I was instructed to cut the strips WOF instead of from the warp. I can clearly understand how much better my blocks and piecing would be more stable cutting strips from length of fabric. I just bought my last "kit"! Thank you so much for this fine video.
Thank you for these great tips. I was using all my thread on the horizontal thread holder and now I know to use the stacked spools up right. All the tips are so useful. I am a beginner quilter and this is great!
Wow! Thank you for Tip #3...what a perfect time saver!
Love your tips,especially sewing the strips as I have often got it wrong even though I am ok at sewing. Thanks
Thank you very much ! I love your well learned tips and the way you share your knowledge !
You are so kind and so generous with your wonderful tips-thank you SEW much! 😉
Great tips! I have sewed most of my life and never knew about how to use the different types of spools and how they are wound on my machine.. I have an attachment to make a vertical spool, but never knew what that was for on my Bernina. Thank you. Linda

Honestly I can use every single one of these tips. Thank you. Diana
great video! im just starting out sewing, and of all the videos ive watched, I really enjoyed your pace and the clarity of your explanations. Very helpful!
Thank u for the tips. On the last tip for remembering how to sew two long strips together..... I'd never remember the street thing, but as you were telling it, I did have a light go off and said, I know how I'll remember it! Since u sew from the top to the bottom.... I'll say I'm sewing my way DOWN the mountain (the top left edge) to get back home in the valley (lower right edge). You see I live in the valley surrounded by the gorgeous Allegany mountains in central PA. When I walk out the door of my senior apts, I gave the east mountain range we have to cross to go to Harrisburg; and when I look out my living room, I face the west mountain range. I love being on the expressway I-99 on a clear day headed north or south, you see thousands of miles the gorgeous mountain range. It's my favorite view, you're so high up! Anyway, u fixed it for me to never make a mistake, even if the mtns were easier for my old brain to make it click. lol. Thank you. Blessings to you, L :)
I've been quilting for 15 years and these 5 tips were great. Some of these I've never been told.
Super great tips! Thanks so much!!! I wish I had watched this before my last quilt. I love the tape on the machine for sew'n'flip corners. This will save me TONS of time!!!
Thank you! These are great tips that quilters use over and over!
Very basic tips, almost quit, but the marked tape to see the diagonal is genius. Tell your viewers to read, that is READ their machine manuals, twice! And keep them handy for reference. Thanks for the great tip. Can't wait to try it!😉
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Also great machine 😍. You really know your craft! Thanks for sharing!!!
Best quilting/fabric/thread tips ever! Thank you.
The dead end street was a really good clue to sewing a diagonal seam...thank you!!
These tips were awesome! I thought these struggles were just me. Thanks so much for these awesome tips!!! Super time savers.
This video is so helpful! Thank you!
What great tips thank you so much. You have a lovely soothing voice.
I’m a fairly new sewer and learned a lot from your tips. Thank you so much 😃
Thank you so much, you just taught me things I did not know and I love that ! Looking forward to your next tutorial. ❤
I’ve been sewing for many decades and learned many tips today. Thank you Diane 😊
What a nice video. I learned some things I didn't know. Thanks for your calm, clear presentation.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you! I learned 3 new things today.
LOVE the stitch n flip tip! I wish I would have found this video two weeks ago. I just did 150+ stitch n flips-two corner ones and boy did I struggle with them.
Thank you so much I rarely use my sewing machine and very rarely sew and these tips for a beginner are so important.
Awesome information..I wondered about several of these things. Thank yu
Thank you so much for the tips! I’m starting my quilting journey and I really don’t know where to start.
Thank you so much for making this video. Very helpful. I only wish I had known these long ago, but am thankful I know now. Nice dimples.
wonderful tips, Thank you so much, especially tip 5. I have always had problems with joining my binding strips. Anxious to try out your tips.
How helpful are these tips! , never knew any of these things before, thank you so much
I recently learned that you must always have the presser foot UP when threading the machine. This has been life changing for me. No more thread nests under my work. Wish I’d known that sooner. Foot up means tension discs open so thread gets engaged in there, foot down when you thread means thread ends up outside of the discs... big problems till you maybe accidentally thread it with the foot up and everything’s okay again. I had years of this even taking it in for service for nothing over and over.
Thanks for sharing
This is something I didn’t know. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing it is priceless
Thank you so much . All these tips are invaluable. Such an education. Really loved them all. I am new at quilting and these tips will really prove so helpful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you for all the helpful tips! TY, TY, TY!
Thank you. I especially like the tip of using tape on the machine bed. Great help!
This was wonderful, thank you so much!
Wow! Simple but so important!
Thank you so much, I too have been sewing for many generations :) Great job, I learned a few new things...yes you can teach an old sewer new tricks!
Thanks for the tips. The last tip on how to sewing the continuous binding is definitely going to help me. Wished I saw this 2 days ago when I sewed it in the wrong directions the first time.
Loved this video. It's so great to learn these tips, especially as a new quilter. You helped me solve about a gazillion challenges I've been experiencing :). Hope to see more of your videos.
Awesome tips. I learned a lot of new tips that I never knew and that I can see are very helpful. Many thanks for sharing that information. I will keep all of these tips in mind for my next projects.
Thank you for the awesome advice! I've been doing my thread incorrect for years!!
Loved these tips thank you for sharing them love your teaching style. Thanks again JGH
Great information - even for someone who's been sewing for some time!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! and THANK YOU! These were great and any more would be wonderful!
Very helpful information, thank you!!
I know it's four years later, but I just found this super video. Thank you for taking the time to so clearly pass these tips. When using a free standing thread guide, do the same rules apply: stacked go vertically and cross wound horizontally? Thank you!
Those tips were really helpful! Thanks
Wow! Great tips. Thank you so much!
Wow! I expected to get maybe one good tip, but all five tips were new and helpful. Thanks!
Great video - love your tips. Thanks
like you I have sewn since I was 12 over 50 years, I never knew about the cross threads and the stacked threads. ty ty ty TNT I got that one as well.
Great information. Thank you!
Wow! Thanks so much fun this video!! I have been quilting for a long time and learned things that will be so helpful😀
Wow
Watching some sewing / quilting videos with my daughter
So odd how I just automatically do all these things without even thinking about why I do it. Perhaps I figured it out along the way..... most likely it’s because it’s how my mom has done it... maybe mom said something about it or it’s tips I’ve picked up by doing my own sewing thing in the back of the classroom when mom has taught many project classes. I’ve spent so many hours hanging out in moms sewing room and hovering over her as she made stuff.
Thank you for the tutorial.
It takes half a lifetime of sewing to collect all the skills and notions that work. Luckily my mom is just a phone call away so I can talk through a project plan or if I get stuck. If mom is ever not on the other end of the phone it will be a sad sad day and I will have to rely on RUclips.

I have several lines on my machine clear tape with sharpie on it. One of these days I will write the inches measurements on the front end. Perhaps I’ll use my label maker and make the lines with measurements typed in. I might even make a fun stitch line. I use it for hemming and making long running stitches for where I need to fold my fabric for no pin no measuring to iron.
Love the video, thank you, very informative.
Thank you so much. I really learned a lot.
Great tips! Thanks so much👍
Thank you so much! Fantastic tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all of the tips!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! It was very informative and especially with the threads.

Thank you. I will use some of those tips on my current quilt.
Wow!!! Wonderful tips!!
Thank you so much for these tips! I'm a newbie quilter and have already had trouble with sewing the diagonals the wrong way on strips. I'll definitely remember not to sew dead ends together :)
greattips. thanks so much for sharing.
What good tips. Thanks!
OMGosh!!! Thank you SO much!!! Some of the best info I’ve received since I began! Cannot wait to apply what you’ve taught us!!!! Now, what about which needle (s) is best for piecing & quilting?!?
Thank you, great tips - dead end and thru streets!
