It never gets old watching Mary Fons! Another fun video to learn from. And don't forget to change your presser foot from quarter inch to open toed!
To Mary and Erika: Thank you for a very helpful tutorial! It was just the information I needed to help me with a little batting pile ;)
And to you rude hair haters: It's a guarantee that your hair doesn't look appealing to every person who has to look at you. Hopefully for your sake, those people have the decency and maturity to keep their mouths shut about it and focus on less superficial things.
I never knew you could do this and always felt sad about the odd scraps of batting that I threw out thinking they had no other use. I just labeled my newest scrap of batting and can't wait together to piece together a big piece once I have enough! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent tutorial, your instructions made the work easy. The pieced batting looks tons better, thanks to you
Ok, this is the 2nd or 3rd time I have watched this tutorial, and I find it helpful and informative each time. Thanks so much ladies. I love having all this info at my fingertips. I love these little nuggets of tried and try skills to reference. 😉 !!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I watched it and went up and tried it and the results were perfect with no puckers. I normally whip stitch it, but it always seems to pucker on me. I love your tutorials!
Lots of good hints on joining the batting scraps; thank you! I thought it was funny that Mary contradicted herself when at first she said "If you ever find a teacher that says, 'This is the only way', you just have to run away"; and then she said you shouldn't join different kinds batting together (like a poly batting with a cotton batting). Yes that second comment is correct and I understand why. And yes there are many times that various quilting procedures can be done different ways (like pressing their seams to one side or pressing them open). But there are SOME instances, like the batting content that really should be done one way for a reason.
I don't run away from instructors who say the procedure they're showing us should only be done this way. I listen to their explanations of why it's done that way. There are reasons for certain traditional quilting rules - and the result is usually more success in one's finished quilt.
I've found that some instructors (and students) categorize rule followers as "Quilting Police". (No, I don't recall Mary using that term.) These instructors can operate a little loosey-goosey, like not giving accurate measurements for fabric in their pattern instructions (leaving the quilter with not having bought enough fabric); they might use the cutting mat's thick lines for counting how many inches to cut their fabric patches instead of a proper quilt ruler; and don't seem to understand the importance of sewing scant ¼ inch seams, or even squaring up their blocks before joining them. This leaves the quilter wondering why their blocks are too small and don't fit properly with other blocks; and instead of finding joy in making a quilt, they become frustrated with the whole process.
Erika said, "You have to find what works best for you"; I so agree with that. What works best for me is first understanding WHY a procedure is done a certain way and then I can intelligently choose the best method.
I saved a lot of batting pieces of all sizes. My granddaughter's quilt was stored and a mouse got into it and chewed 53 blocks. I replaced them all using pieces of the batting I had saved, and the original fabric I still had in my stash. It was all worth saving.
I love your videos and I love Hey Quilty! It makes quilting fun for beginners like me!
mary, love the hair! you look gorgeous!!
Wonderful tutorial so helpful and it works!!
Loved that you "Legitimacized" what I call, "Frankensteining" my batting scraps, lol!! Loved the ear rings Mary, I want a pair!! Where did you get them?
Awesome tips! Thank u 🌸
Things I do with pieces of batting left :
-If it's poly, use it for stuffed toys or amigurumis.
-Filling for packages.
It's also a lot of work to sew the pieces together, so I'd keep the project simple and small, like changing pads, placemats, etc.
Do you think mixing cotton and 80/20 would be a problem...I failed to label, so I am sure I have scraps that are mixed.
OMG I have so many scraps of bedding I was wondering what do I do with this and you guys did a show thank you so much now I know what to do Mary you guys are always right on time.
How to iron my 20/80 cotton poly batting? Can you help.
Thank you! I cut mine short! You saved me!!
A three-step zigzag does a nice flat join that does not bunch up. You cannot feel it at all when you rub it between your fingers.
Very informative!
Thank you
This was super useful
Is the quilt pattern available for the quilt on display in this video?
What about the other kind of batting? I never buy the batting you are using, I buy the cheaper poly batting. It is low loft but it is fluffy. TY
Hehe "we always love to make them" babies or their quilts? ;P
Leanne Bandte Clearly she said "Babies!" Lol 😂
Funny
Mary.. Thus was a very helpful video... I have lots of smallish pieces of batting.... I really like your new hair color.... Please don't take offense, but you need to brush your heir.... It's such a pretty colors but I thunk the "messy " look is distracting.... Thank you for all of the great hints and videos,,, I have bought all but irn issue if Quilty, and live it, it is the only magazine I buy,
Ya know here I am reading through the comments 6 years later. I have to say I'm not sure where you thought it was a good idea to mention her "messy" hair and to tell her that she needs to brush it ??? I'm pretty sure you should find your manners and keep your "don't take offense" comments to your self. My 5 year old knows better than that! Come on!
Penny Witt I’m just watching this as well and thought WOW! All the negative comments from negative people. No wonder our world is in a dither.
holy shit with the ads. I mean, make that cash money girl, but whoa.
I love the info in these tutorials! Without the ads we wouldn't be able to get this info for free :)
If you want to "ignore" them, watch the playlist and "forward" after each episode to skip the credits, then click ahead on the "play" bar to skip the ads at the start of the video (I usually click right above the "pause" icon). I hope this helps you get the most Mary :D
I think she was just surprised at how many sponsors they had. I raised my eyebrows too.
I totally understand why you stopped posting. It's amazing how nasty and vile other quilters can be towards someone giving them free advice. It makes me incredibly sad that these disgusting people ran you off.
What's all this talk about hair? I thought we were here for sewing pointers.
Excellent tips btw.
Mary is super cute and awkward 😄
No. I don't believe it. How can you see that bag of batting I bought 2 metres of & just vaguely remember it might be bamboo...? Eh, never too old to learn - Next Time I go to a quilt exhibition with traders enticing us round the edge of the show I shall go armed with some pins & index cards.
Way too much chatter. This isn't a tutorial, it's a bunch of ads.
Get to the point. A lot of talk before you get to the real issues..
Golly, I was looking through the comments to find helpful suggestions/comments, and yours is the best!!! LOVE the demeaning tone and lack of any helpful insight! Love the nastiness you thought would be helpful. Loved it all!!! Well done!
the hair thing is very annoying and so are the pop ups the volume could be a little louder if I don't catch something I can just go back and listen to it again and the pop ups don't have to pop up to block what I'm trying to watch
Ruth Freeman THE POP UPS R 4 THE DEAF- IMPAIRED
@@deborahgibson6538 wouldn't "DEAF IMPAIRED" actually mean that one can in fact, hear? "Hearing Impaired" means one has difficulty hearing from a moderate degree to total loss. That would make Deaf Impaired the opposite, wouldn't it?
@@patrickfarley8036 That is 'splitting hairs'!! We all know what it means. I'm profoundly deaf so absolutely need the subtitles and anything to help me.
Why is the hair annoying? I think Mary is the most expressive person I have seen for a long time. She wears her hair how she wants. Not how everyone else wants. If it annoys you, don't watch!
@@lunasmum6869 TWO THINGS HERE MAGGIE. FIRST, I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU, MY QUESTION WAS FOR DEBORAH! AND SECOND, I'M NOT SPLITTING HAIRS, THIS ISNT A CASE OF "SIX OF ONE, HALF DOZEN OF THE OTHER". WHAT SHE SAID WAS WRONG! LIKE SAYING, "I NEARLY MISSED IT". THAT MEANS I CAME CLOSE TO MISSING IT BUT, IN FACT, I HIT IT!
NOW, TO SAY "I NEARLY HIT IT" MEANS I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING IT BUT I DIDNT, I MISSED IT.
SO, HEARING IMPAIRED = ONE IS DEAF AND DEAF IMPAIRED = ONE CAN HEAR! AND JUST CAUSE NO ONE REGULARLY SAYS DEAF IMPAIRED TO DESCRIBE FOR A HEARING PERSON IT SHOULDN'T BE ASSUMED THE SPEAKER/WRITER MEANT A DEAF PERSON!
JUST BECAUSE AN ALBINO BLACK GUY MAY HAVE VERY LIGHT SKIN, YOU WOULDN'T ASSUME OR SAY HE WAS A WHITE GUY WOULD YOU? OF COURSE NOT!
SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND MEAN WHAT YOU SAY AND PEOPLE WON'T HAVE TO GUESS AT WHAT IS MEANT!
What with your hair? Most distracting!
RUDE!
I LOVE that you decided to belittle another woman's looks! Like, when I think of the quilting world, I generally think of kind people with amazing personalities, but you were like, "FUCK THAT! I'm going to be a lone bitch!" Excellent job! You really told her something helpful and dignified! :D I especially like that you decided grammar was not important, too. Just... Chef's kiss!
Find a good hairdresser, girlfriend. Love you, but, honey, that do has to go. Chicago must be bursting with great stylists. I'll even fly my stylist out to you.
Did you forget to take your medication again???
