Thank you so much for your tutorials .You explain very well.I’m a beginner and most of my work it’s from the you tube tutorials especially the boarders I wasn’t sure if I had to join pieces of fabric or have to do whole piece.
Wonderful Teaching on the plaid I have cut them and was always upset could never get it straight! Thank you so much I had some large squares and wanted to make a quilt save me a whole lot of crying :)
Love your tutorial, think it is the best one out on borders. Happy I stumbled upon your tutorial. You taught me a lot. Thanks again, I desperately needed to learn how to make a border which was longer than the quilt top and you hit it on the nail. Looking forward to watching your other videos.
HI , I just wanted to know that once your done a quilt, should you wash it before giving it as a gift? I am making memory quilts for my kids and was wandering if I should wash them first. Another questions is also should we wash the fabrics before starting a quilt?
Hi Sylvia - If the quilt I am giving away is meant to be washed, then yes I do wash it before I give it away - and I have 3 cats so I like to get the cat hair off :). If it is a wall quilt with much embellishment i would not wash it. I do not pre-wash any of my fabrics - just have never found a reason to and i have literally made hundreds of quilts and never had an issue that was so bad .
Thank you, I appreciate you answering me back, as I have pictures of when they were growing up on my quilts, I have 2 toppers done and need to do one more , then I will start quilting them. Once all done I will wash them in gentle cycle, they say not to use detergent just fabric softener when you have picture on your quilt. Is that what you would do , just asking because I am a beginner.
Hi - yes, when i sash my quilts I use the gentle cycle with cool water, a very gentle soap, like the Woolite , just not something with phosphates. and I either day them out to dry or dry on the low cycle. Can' t wait t see what you make!!
Yes, I do that alot - the trick is to use the right pin, those that are about 1 1/4 inches long with a small ball head like the Clover Silk Pins and to also drive slowly over the pins. Give it a try :)

Thanks so much for the lesson on plaids! I had no idea that cutting it the length would help it look much more accurate!

You're welcome! Let us know how the quilt turns out. Glad the technique saved you from crying! :)
Nancy, I would love to know where you get the pin cushion you wear on your wrist ? I would love to find one.
I've received a number of comments about this - I purchased it years ago. Unfortunately, it's no longer sold. We may just have to recreate it :)

Do you not wash your fabric first?
I am not a fabric washer but many quilters are - do what feels best for you :)
Omg, you stitched over your pins.
Yes, I do that alot - the trick is to use the right pin, those that are about 1 1/4 inches long with a small ball head like the Clover Silk Pins and to also drive slowly over the pins. Give it a try :)
