The obsession. Yes. That's how you get hooked.
@@mamakaka73 hahah I sure am! Already Midway through my next one!
I'm not an experienced quilter by any means! Yours is lovely, Karla. I made two of my grandchildren a quilt each, using the fronts of their favorite old tshirts their mom had saved. They were funky, but the kids really love them!❤
@@cynthiaswearingen1037 thanks Cynthia :) oh that sounds fantastic! I bet they looked so cool! Good on you for repurposing their fave old tees! Brilliant!
So beautiful and will be a very loved blanky quilt 😀
@@brunfree the girls sure do love it! 🥰
Hi Karla, I am also a beginner quilter and just been given a huge box of scrap fabric.....all Jersey/ knit / stretch etc. Not having a clue what to do with it I am so glad to have found your video.. just the tutorial I need. Look forward to seeing your next quilt xx
@@terrygresham5765 hi terry! How exciting is a box a scraps! The endless possibilities 😀 thanks for watching and good luck with your scrappy stretch knit quilt 😊
It turned out so great!!!! Love it!!! I like the channel pin cut sew for a lot of tutorials. She uses her domestic machine to quilt.
@@fannydriscoll thank you so much! Oooh I’ll check it out :) thanks for the recommendation!
I don’t know that I know more than you😂 but I do have some experience with making patchwork blankets from jersey scraps so I can share how I did it and maybe give you some ideas.
I personally don’t enjoy thick quilts. I like soft and floppy so didn’t use any stabilization on my jersey quilts. What I did was to cut a bunch of identical squares and put two together rotating the stretch on the two so they stabilized each other a little. I basted them together then stitched my squares into rows then sewed my rows together with half inch seam allowances (nesting seams. I topstitched 1/8” on both sides of every seam to add strength to my patchwork as I wasn’t using stabilizer or batting to hold it all together. After topstitching, I clipped all the seam allowances 1/4” apart like you would do for a rag quilt. I have made 4 like this and absolutely love them. They are soft, drapey, warm but not too warm❤.
The next one I will hand stitch or machine stitch my two layers together instead of using basting stitches that I have to remove
@@cynthiadugan858 hi Cynthia! Thank you so much for sharing your process for jersey quilts with me! This sounds like such a great method! I was worried this quilt would turn out quite thick and heavy (and it is!) so I reckon I will give your method a go! Great idea with stabilising by rotating the fabric! Genius!! I love the drape and softness of jersey and would love a thinner lighter quilt out of it.
Thank you so much for sharing your process with me 🙏🙏 🥰❤️
I’ve just started on my next quilt with cottons and have no idea what I’m doing thus far haha need all the tips I can get!
Karla 😊
Awesome ❤️ hope it works as well for you as it has for me.
I should mention that the topstitch goes from going through 6 layers to 2 and back. I use a vintage machine that laughs at all those layers but if I was using a newer machine, I would probably topstitch my squares on each row before joining them together and clip out the corners. Another option would be to leave one of the four seam allowances out of the thicker side. You would still get the added strength of that doubled seam with a smidge less bulk.
@@cynthiadugan858 ohhhh I doubt my bernina would handle the 6 layers… it might! I have a walking foot which might help. I’d love a vintage machine, I bet they’re amazing to sew with!
Thanks for the heads up 🥰
