I'm making a clam shell lap quilt using the SewVeryEasy method by Laura, which she posted about a year ago. She has a video out on how to make them and they are much easier using stabilizer with iron on backing. You just use her pattern (free) to sew the material onto the stabilizer, then cut around the pattern and turn it right side out, iron it onto the quilt top with your batting and backing sandwiched, applique around each piece and in no time you have a finished quilt. I'm finding it much easier than this one, not to take away from any of these videos, but I'm all for easy! Meanwhile, I'll watch Sue's other videos to see what else I can learn. :)
I've always thought clamshells were so pretty, but looked very difficult. Your tutorial is fantastic!!! Thank you so much. :)
I clamshells. I do come back from time to time for a refresher as I am quite forgetful but I find it almost hypnotic going through the process of making my EPP. I am much more in love with your papers than the iron ons. I don't find them any easier, or economical because they can't be reused. So your product is such a delight to use and once you have the template in acrylic it is so easy. Thank you Sue.
WoW, this is awesome. Thank You so much for this beautiful tutorial of these clam shells. This makes it so easy to do. So excited to try this.
Thank you so much for taking the time to generously show how to do this technique. I've been searching the Web for a clear, concise tutorial and I just found you! I'm going to give this a go
Très joli tutoriel. Merci et je suis fan de patchwork
Thank You! I have had a template and papers for a couple of years, bought at a Craft Fair, and was not sure how to start...I attended the Novocastrian Quilt show yesterday and one of the ladies suggested I look at your tutorial. You have made it look quite easy and I am itching to give it a try ( as soon as I get the glue) Thanks, Sue, I have only done hexies so far. :)
Awesome videos. I found your lessons tonight and I've watched all of them. Excited for more! Thank you for posting these.
Brilliant tutorial, am now going to give it a go - many thanks for demystifying this technique so clearly
Fantasic! I learn so much from you, Sue.
This is fantastic! Thanks so much Sue.
I just love your videos.
Thank you for this tutorial. I am making a quilt Okehampton from Karen Styles and just couldn't visualize sewing the clamshells together since I had never done it before. Wish I would have seen this before I cut all 350 out. I would have made much better use of my fabric. I used spray starch and a plastic template and made all my shells. Guess I will have to do a paper template to lay on top so I know where to tack my shells together. A bit backwards but now I know how to tack them properly.
You would not believe - I am trying to make clamshells for a denim jacket using ROUENNERIES like in your bag. It is kismet! lol Thanks for the help. :)
Hi Sue, I bought the clam shell template and papers at the recent craft n quilt fair in Melbourne last month. I'm so happy I found this tutorial on how to do them. My question to you is What stitch do you sew the top? Thanks 😊
Who knew! I have clamshells in my stash and had the absolute wrong idea on how to use them! Thank you!
Brilliant tutorial! Thank you.
check out Barbara Barber quick bias clamshell. I read it in Quilter's Newsletter Mag. It's the easiest method I've seen. It was in June/July 2009 issue. Finished is called "My heart lives in England". I was looking at the article and trying to find it on You Tube.
What do you do with the initial fabric you appliqué the first row to?
What do you do with the empty shapes at each end of the first row; and, I assume, every odd row?
